Tommy Stephenson

*"Well, that Stockholm Syndrome kicked in pretty quick..."
"I did what I had to do to survive."*
―Tommy Stephenson and Nick[src]
**Tommy Stephenson** is the Leader of Micro Studios. Joined by Nick, Tommy entered conflict with the Patrick Hill Crime Gang, who sought to rob the American Bank. While being held hostage by the criminals, Tommy met Conner, who tried to stop the robbery by getting Jayden's help. Unfortunately, Jayden's pestering with the crime gang's operations resulted in the group to be tied up to some chairs, until they were joined by Patrick Hill, whom Gregory betrayed. Thanks to Jayden, the Micro Studios group managed to escape the bank. When Detective Carter questioned the boys regarding the third robber, Tommy showed sympathy for the redeemed Patrick, as he claimed that there was no third robber.

Returning to the Micro Studios Residence with Nick, Tommy offered Conner, Patrick, and Jayden to stay there for a couple of days. Unfortunately, the group were confronted by Gregory, who prevailed to get his sweet revenge on the boys for trying to kill him. When Gregory initiated a game of revenge hide-and-seek, Tommy hid in the bathroom, but got caught. Being tied to chairs once more, the Micro Studios group managed to save themselves by convincing Gregory to surrender, causing him to be defeated. Sometime later, Tommy collaborated with Patrick, who hoped to bring order to the house by using the Chore Wheel.

## History

### Leader of Micro Studios

Tommy Stephenson became the leader of Micro Studios. Befriending Nick, Justin, and Theresa, the four friends group would go on several misadventures together, until both Justin and Theresa left the group, leaving Tommy and Nick by themselves. Tommy soon became the owner of the Micro Studios Residence and lived in there with Nick for several years.

### Robbery of the American Bank

*"Thanks for helping me drag him over here."
"I was being held at gunpoint by a psychotic robber, I didn't have much of a choice."
"Eh... still, thanks. I'm Tommy, and you've already met Nick."*
―Tommy Stephenson and Conner[src]

In 2015, Tommy Stephenson and Nick visited the American Bank, but this led them to soon enter conflict with the Patrick Hill Crime Gang, who turned Tommy and Nick, alongside Conner, into their pawns. Seeing Nick on the floor bleeding, Gregory ordered both Tommy and Conner to move him over to the side. Tommy thanked Conner for helping out, but Conner told Tommy that he was being held gunpoint by a psychotic robber, so he didn't really have much of a choice.

Tommy introduced himself and Nick to Conner, but Conner didn't like how he was trying to make a conversation out of this. Refusing to let the robbers steal innocent people's money, Conner tried to get Jayden's help, but their pestering with the operation led them to be tied up to some chairs. Tommy and Nick met and befriended Jayden, while the criminals finished up with the bank robbery.

Patrick Hill thanked the boys for their patience, but the bank was swarmed with cops as Jayden set off the silent alarm. Upon realizing that there was a bomb in the building, the group realized they only had a few minutes left to save themselves. Jayden tried to get the criminals to stop robbing the bank, but this led Tommy and Nick to be tied up along with him and Conner. Gregory soon betrayed Patrick, leading him to join the other hostages.

Tommy questioned if anyone else had any bright ideas, but upon receiving no response, Tommy believed they were boned, until Jayden came in to save the group by cutting their ties with a knife. The group then escaped the bank after Jayden stabbed Gregory in the head with his knife. Patrick apologized to the boys for getting them into trouble, claiming the whole robbery was just his job. When questioned by Detective Carter regarding what happened to the third robber, Tommy and Nick decided to keep quiet and tell Carter that there was no third robber.

### Return to the Micro Studios Residence

*"You idiots blew up my house."
"Technically Mordecai blew up your house."
"Whatever."*
―Conner and Tommy Stephenson[src]

Tommy Stephenson and Nick soon returned to the Micro Studios Residence, where they promised to let Conner, Patrick Hill, and Jayden stay with them for a couple of days. While having breakfast with Nick, Tommy became surprised to realize that Conner was still living with them, but Conner stated that the only reason why was still there was because they blew up his house. Tommy told Conner that it was technically Mordecai who blew up his house, but Conner didn't care. Patrick then entered the kitchen, much to Conner's disappointment. Upon realizing that Jayden was there as well, Conner decided to leave.

### Detective Carter's Visit

*"Oh my God..."
"No! No, it's not what it looks- wait, what...?"*
―Detective Carter and Tommy Stephenson[src]

Conner prepared to walk out the door, but he stopped as he heard Detective Carter outside. Carter mentioned to the boys that he had discovered a photo of the third robber and believed he was hiding somewhere in the Micro Studios Residence. Busting through the door, Carter demanded to know where Patrick was, but he was distracted as he became romantically attracted to Bill, who Tommy saw in confusion. Believing Patrick would try to get his revenge on the boys, Carter confined both Conner and Jayden to stay with Tommy and Nick until the third robber had been captured. Conner tried to rat Patrick out so he could leave, but he came out unsuccessful.

### Gregory's Revenge

*"How are you even alive? You got stabbed in the back of the head!"
"I have my ways..."*
―Tommy Stephenson and Gregory[src]

The moment Detective Carter left the house, Gregory returned, much to Tommy's confusion. When Gregory rounded up the Micro Studios group and brought them into the living room, Tommy questioned how Gregory survived being stabbed in the back of the head by Jayden, but Gregory just said he had his ways. Gregory then told the group that he had returned for a game of revenge hide-and-seek, and gave the group 20 seconds to hide. Tommy stood where he was for a while, before leaving the living room to hide somewhere.

### Hiding in the Bathroom

*"It's ok, I'm ok, everything is going to be fine. I'M GONNA DIE!"*
―Tommy Stephenson[src]

Tommy went to hide in the bathroom. Peeking out of the bathtub, Tommy tried calming himself down, but came to the conclusion that he was going to die. Just then, Tommy could hear Gregory approaching, so he dived back into the bathtub. Gregory walked into the bathroom, but he soon left, having not spotted Tommy. Tommy then peeked out of the bathtub once more, but the moment he did, Gregory showed up, saying he heard Tommy scream. Tommy then screamed once more as Gregory took him out.

### Tortured by Gregory

*"Man I can never win... maybe it's time I give myself up, start a new life..."
"Yeah man, just surrender!"*
―Gregory and Tommy Stephenson[src]

Being brought back to the living room, the Micro Studios group were tied up to chairs once more. Conner tried to get Jayden to go get help, but Jayden escaped. Gregory then returned, ready to torture the group, but became distracted as he heard music coming from outside. Seeing Detective Carter outside the house, Gregory shot him in the heart, causing the police to respond to the madness. Gregory began mourning that he could never win, prompting Tommy and the others to convince him to surrender. Gregory rushed out the door, but he was shot down to his defeat. The group were then freed from their ties.

### The New Micro Studios

*"So what is this all about?"
"I don't know if you've noticed, but some of the house chores still have yet to be completed. I specifically designed the chore wheel system to bring some goddamn order into this place! If we don't abide by the system, the whole thing falls apart!"*
―Tommy Stephenson and Patrick Hill[src]

Bonding with Conner, Patrick Hill, and Jayden, tommy soon made them official members of the Micro Studios group. They would continue to live with him and Nick in the Micro Studios Residence as Patrick continued to hide from the authorities to avoid facing the consequences to his crimes. Sometime later, Patrick offered to help Tommy bring order to the house by creating the Chore Wheel system. But upon discovering the chores had still yet to be completed, Patrick had a house meeting with Tommy and the others to discuss the situation.
