He'd read the note six times already, and dutifully ignored the frog telling jokes at his feet. It didn't make any more sense than the first time he'd read it. Goodland? Jubilant Entity? The words weren't complicated, the message wasn't complicated, and yet...it didn't make sense. He couldn't be here. He hadn't even finished building the console, so how...

He gripped the paper so tightly that it crumpled under his fingers. His knuckles were white from the stress of his grip. And damn if his left hand didn't still hurt like a bitch. He took the paper into his right hand and shook the left out. Max might have healed his decade old injury, but the joints were still stiff.

Max. He tilted his head, feeling an odd sensation. His telepathy with Max and Isobel wasn't as strong as what the so called twins shared, but he felt the faint buzz of his brother nearby. He tilted his head trying to hone in on Max's location. He didn't realise at the moment he couldn't feel Isobel at all.

He wasn't a touchy feely person under normal circumstances. He'd been known to balk from unwanted, unsolicited touch before. He might have tensed the moment she reached out, but he didn't out right resist her. She wasn't someone he needed to reject out of hand.

"I don't doubt he guilted you into leaving it with him. I tried to get him to work with me, he refused, and I grabbed the syringe from him. He shot it so I couldn't use it on Noah. Michael shuddered. "I wanted him to give me answers, to tell me where we came from. I just. I hate not knowing."

And that hatred, that uncertainty was a million times worse now that he'd seen his mother. Now that he'd connected with her, and felt her love for him. He hadn't shared that with anyone, only Alex knew because Alex was there when it happened. Alex had seen him at his most vulnerable, and if it hadn't been for Alex Michael would have stayed and died right there with his mother, separated by the glass he couldn't break.

She nodded her head in understanding when he said he just wanted to know where he came from because he hated not knowing. She couldn't blame him in the slightest because if she'd been in his position, she would want to know where she came from too and what happened before she came out of her pod as a child.

"I'm sorry all of your answers died with him" She told him with a frown, assuming he knew by now that Noah died. Question was, did he know about Max? She bit her lip for a minute as she debated bring it up. The only way to find out if he knew was to talk about it, right? Tears welled up in her eyes just thinking about it and her voice wavered with emotion as she spoke. "And that your brother died bringing back my sister"

If he didn't already know, he did now.

Michael drew a shaking breath. "I know. I felt it." He had felt his psychic connection to Max fade out. He hadn't realised exactly what it meant at the time, but he now knew it meant Max was dead. He hadn't always seen eye to eye with Max, but he couldn't imagine his life without Max in it.

"I didn't know about Rosa, though." He'd seen her in Noah's pod, so he knew she was there. He didn't know how the hell Noah got her in there, but that wasn't important just now. "Is she...I mean..." He shook his head. He didn't know exactly what he meant. Asking if Rosa was okay seemed too vague.

She nodded her head in response to his question. "She's understandably confused but she's otherwise okay. I didn't get the chance to really explain everything to her before I came here" She curled her legs up as she continued, her chin going onto her knees with her dark hair falling over them. "Max put his mark on me hours before and when I felt it happen, it followed the feeling to the cave. Rosa was the one that came out, not Max. I thought I was seeing a ghost at first but the second my arms were around her, I knew it was real. It only took me few seconds to connect the dots and ask her where Max was ... "

"He always has to be the martyr," Michael sighed. It wasn't entirely accurate. He'd done his fair share of martyring as well. But the title fit Max better than it fit him. He was a selfish prick, Max was always trying to do right by everyone around him.

"Sometimes he's just a dumb jerk," Michael added. His love for Max knew no bounds, they were brothers after all. Sort of. Brothers in a shared experience that built families out of nothing. He'd always love Max. But their personalities clashed often, and they fought more than they didn't fight.
