Micro

"You're not gonna kill me." "Is that right?" "Yeah, I know people. I'm an analyst. It's my job."

- Micro and Frank Castle

David Linus Lieberman is a former NSA analyst and member of the Rising Tide who operated under the nickname Micro. A legendary hacker, Micro faked his own death in order to hide from the authority and continue his work of exposure of all the government's secret affairs. Seeking to return to his life, Micro recruited Frank Castle under the premise that they had mutual enemies. Micro helped Castle discover the conspiracy which had led to the Massacre of his family, eventually learning that Castle was betrayed and William Rawlins was responsible. As they closed in with their plans, Micro's family was threatened by Rawlins and Billy Russo, forcing Micro out of the shadows as he and Castle managed to trick their enemies and kill them all, which allowed Lieberman to return back to his old life.

Marrying Sarah
"Junior year. I'm taking History of the French Novel. Sarah's in my class. Now, you gotta remember, I'm a bit of a player at this point in my life. But for some reason, Sarah's just aloof. For me, no way. Unapproachable."

- Micro to Frank Castle

As a child, David Lieberman wanted to be a vet. He set up an improvised veterinarian in his grandmother's basement and treated some birds, cats and in his neighborhood. Later, he discovered computers and understood that it was his calling. During his junior year in college, Lieberman took History of the French Novel. He was in the same class with a woman named Sarah. Lieberman attempted to flirt with her, however, Sarah was unapproachable for him.

One night, Lieberman wear a costume and came to a costume party where he met Sarah again. All at the party was drunk, especially her. They get to talking and Sarah said that she wouldn't pay any attention to him just because she was shy. They got back to her place and both waiting for the other one to make the move. During several hours, Sarah and David talked and ate toast. At 5 AM, Sarah finally kissed him and they had been together ever since. Several years later, they married and had children, Zach and Leo Lieberman.

According to Sarah, every Sunday night, Lieberman used to grab her car keys and disappeared for twenty minutes to fill car tank. He knew that his wife hated going to the gas station and took care of it.

NSA Analyst
"I really wanna do the right thing here." "You want me to tell you it's okay so that if this all blows up, it won't be your fault. David, I can't do that." "You know, everything that we teach them about being good human beings that's what this comes down to. This is why I took this job."

- David Lieberman and Sarah Lieberman

Becoming a skilled hacker, Lieberman took on the codename "Micro" and became a member of the Rising Tide. Micro was then contacted by Skye to help decrypt unknown symbols and asked other hackers for help. Micro received information about a murder where the killer carved the symbols into his victim's corpse and alerted Skye, allowing them to solve the mystery and track down the killer. Lieberman was eventually recruited into the NSA as an analyst where he had been tasked to work on Afghanistan intelligence to assess received data, to find anything that might be useful. During the five years, most of the videos were irrelevant, apart from a video received from an anonymous soldier. This footage had showed the interrogation, torture and execution of Ahmad Zubair, who could be heard begging for his life, as the execution had been orchestrated by an unknown military squad. Back at his family's home, Lieberman discussed this footage with Sarah. She asked why it was sent to him, to which he replied that this is his job as an analyst and he can finally do his job for the first time in five years, as Sarah had said he should give it to his section chief and pass it up the line of command. However, Lieberman had then questioned what to do next when his section chief decided to bury the footage, rather than risk exposing a major conspiracy within the United States Armed Forces. As Sarah dismissed this and insisted that this would just be his section chief's problem, they were interrupted as Zach Lieberman asked if they had juice for him to drink. As Sarah went to speak with Zach, she noted that if Lieberman decided to go around the chain of command, then they knew what would happen. Once Zach and Leo Lieberman went to bed, Lieberman had noted how he wanted to do the right thing. Becoming frustrated, Sarah then noted how her husband clearly just wanted her to say it was okay so it would not be his fault if it all went wrong, as Lieberman listened to her insist that she could not do that. Lieberman then noted how they were trying to teach their children to be good human beings and his was his chance to do that. Lieberman noted that this was why he was working with the NSA and not writing apps in Silicon Valley. As Lieberman questioned how he could look his children in their eyes if he failed to expose this conspiracy, Sarah hugged and had simply noted that he knew what he should do. Despite this warning, Lieberman had decided this footage had to be exposed to the world. Staying up late once while family had gone to bed, Lieberman logged onto his internet as "Micro" and watched the footage of Zubair being beaten by the commander, who then ordered a soldier to execute him. Having considered who he could trust with this, Micro decided that Dinah Madani, Zubair's former partner and a agent with Homeland Security should be the one to view the footage, as he sent it to her before closing his laptop, fearful of what the result might be, for him and his entire family if he was to get exposed.

Shot by Carson Wolf
"Whatever your orders, I'm not a criminal. I'm an NSA analyst." "Get down!" "I'm an NSA analyst!" "He's got a weapon!" "No, I don't. No, no, no, no, no! That's not true!"

- David Lieberman and Carson Wolf

While Lieberman had believed that his message to Dinah Madani had not been traced back to him, he eventually learned that this was not the case during his trip through New York City with his family. While Zach and Leo Lieberman played a guessing game while sat in the car, Lieberman had been distracted by using his phone, before he placed it inside his shirt pocket and joining in with their game, while Sarah Lieberman complained about the traffic they were stuck in. As Zach and Leo had complained that they would be late, Lieberman turned to reassure them, only to catch sight of a heavily armed team of Homeland Security agents heading towards them. Knowing that they were there to arrest him, Lieberman calmly took off his seatbelt and told his children to stay in the car, before kissing Sarah and then got out of the car and walking down the street. As he walked through the crowded market, Lieberman saw that Carson Wolf was following him, as he ran up a flight of stairs until he found himself cornered at a balcony above the river, with Wolf ordering Lieberman to surrender. With nowhere left to go, Lieberman put his hands up as he insisted that they were making a mistake, noting that he was an NSA analyst and not a criminal, only for Wolf to respond by firing a warning shot and demanding that Lieberman get onto the ground. With Lieberman still not getting on the ground, Wolf had told the other agents that he had a weapon which Lieberman still denied. To his horror, Lieberman then realized that Sarah had gotten out of the car and followed him there, as Lieberman demanded that she go back to their car in order to be safe, while Wolf's agents aimed their guns at both of them. Wolf then fired a bullet at Lieberman's chest, which struck the phone that he had put into his shirt pocket, as this phone had stopped that shot being fatal, although the force from the shot knocked Lieberman off the balcony and into the river below. Surviving, Lieberman hid at the abandoned location, while Homeland deemed his as a traitor who resisted arrest. Lieberman made a computer network in his hideout and learned about Frank Castle who was involved in conspiracy what had him killed. Lieberman visited his former house and had left a disk with footage of Ahmad Zubair's murder into his military platoon.

Interacting with Castle
"You know, let's not waste time. You're Frank Castle, right? Frank Castle, the dead man?" "Makes two of us now." "You're more right than you know. You're not the only ghost in this town, Frank."

- Micro and Frank Castle

For several months, Lieberman hacked various agencies, companies and police departments, to extract any useful information regarding the conspiracy that had resulted in his assassination attempt by Carson Wolf. Micro had then also continued to try and locate Frank Castle, who had gone off the grid, by searching for crime scenes that Castle could be linked to. When Micro learned of a massacre involving the Gnucci Crime Family, he pulled up the security footage from outside Linello's as he soon managed to confirm that Castle was involved, as he delighted in finding Castle. Managing to keep track of Castle, Micro had waited atop Graniteville Diner and phoned up Castle through the landline, as the phone was picked up by the Waitress, as Micro asked to speak to Castle. Once Castle was on the phone, he claimed that Micro had the wrong guy, to which Micro had used Castle's real name and noted that he was seemingly a dead man following the explosion at the Blacksmith's ship, while Castle had then warned that Micro had just made himself the dead man by calling him. Micro noted that Castle was more right than he realized, noting that he was not the only ghost in town. Micro then questioned if Castle ever found the disk that he had left in his home, which Castle confirmed while Micro then questioned if he watched it. Instead of answering, Castle questioned if Micro was his name, which he confirmed as Castle suggested that they speak face to face. However, Micro said that he felt this would be dangerous and had suggested that Castle needed to learn what had really happened first. Micro then hung up and watched Castle run towards his set up location, where a phone was waiting, while Castle realized that Micro just tricked him when he saw Micro stood on the Diner's roof.

Watching his Family
"I gotta ask you, why'd you go to my house?" "You know something, David? Your wife, she's real cut up about your death." "They have nothing to do with this." "Bullshit. You know what? You're an asshole. You're a man who put his family in danger and you didn't do it once, you did it again"

- Micro and Frank Castle

While sat inside his hideout with a cup of coffee, Micro had then still continued to closely watch over his family home through the cameras he had secretly installed. While one of his computers confirmed that it had not found any search results, Micro ignored all this and watched as Sarah had argued with Zach about him going out with a friend to go see a movie. When Zach became frustrated, he noted that his father would have allowed him to go, only for Sarah to note that his father had been dead for a year. Micro then watched on as Zach became upset when his mother had then accused him of using his father's death as a bargaining chip in the argument, with Leo still desperately trying to maintain the peace. Micro had watched closely as Sarah managed to calm the situation by noting that she just needed to know where her children were and what they were doing. Sarah then promised to consider letting Zach go out with his friends while Leo told her mother that she loved her, with Micro commenting that he loved them all too. Micro saw Sarah looking directly at the picture where he had installed a camera. However, when Micro came to view all the video feeds at his family home later on, he was shocked to see that Frank Castle was there, having faked an incident of Sarah accidentally striking him with her car, which had then caused Sarah to help him and invite him into the house. Witnessing Castle walking into his home where his children were, Micro had reacted in complete horror at seeing this, cursing at Castle for somehow finding and then going after his family, as Micro then grabbed the gun that he kept hidden under his computers, and jumping in his car in order to stop Castle from harming his family. Pulling up outside of his former home, Micro debated going inside to keep Castle from doing them harm, which would expose his survival and put them into danger from the government who had tried to kill him. Micro continued to try and ring Castle, who did not pick up his phone, much to Micro's frustration. Just as Micro began to get out of his car with his gun to then confront Castle, he saw Castle and Sarah stepping out of the house, as Castle had not done her or the children any harm. Micro kept himself hidden from view while Castle spoke to Sarah and offered to fix her garage door which was now jammed. Fearing that Sarah might see him, Micro was forced to return into his hideout, where he watched all the CCTV footage of Castle fixing the garage door so that Sarah could then drive her car inside, with Micro confirming that Castle had not done anything to hurt his family and was purely trying to get inside Micro's head in order to prove that he knew who Micro really was and could target his family if he needed to. Micro then remained by his computers and scanned the city, as he kept his close watch over Castle's Apartment, failing to notice that Castle had shaved his head and beard and left the apartment.

Chasing down Frank Castle
"Here's what we're gonna do..." "No, no, you stop talking. I'm sick of hearing you talk. I'm calling the shots now. I'm going offline. In exactly one hour, call me with a cell phone number I can reach you on. You got that?"

- Micro and Frank Castle

Having failed to track down Frank Castle with his computer systems, Micro had then called him on his phone the following day, as Castle finally answered, questioning if Micro was watching him from outside where it was raining. Micro immediately traced their call and commented that he knew that Castle was at Pete's Diner and Grill in. Micro then noted that he had given Castle that phone so that he could contact him easily, although Castle had simply noted that he knew this but still never intended to leave it on all of the time. Castle then noted how he had shaved and gained a limp, which had messed up Micro's computer tracking but had questioned how Micro knew where to look for him, to which Micro noted how he had simply waited until Tony Gnucci and his people were murdered and simply checked nearby, commenting that he had wiped that CCTV footage after he saw it. Collecting his gun, Micro questioned why Castle had gone to his family home, as Castle noted how Sarah Lieberman was still in mourning over his apparent death, commenting on how Micro had put them in danger before and was now doing it all over again. Although Micro insisted that he would make this right, noting that his family would only be safe if they all believed that he was dead, Castle insisted that he had brought this situation on himself. Castle revealed that Carson Wolf had just told him everything that Micro had done, as he confirmed that he had killed him. When Micro confirmed that he still wanted to talk, Castle insisted that they do it on his terms, telling Micro to stop talking, as he ordered him to call him on that phone in exactly one hour, when Castle would give him instructions on where to meet, which a now frustrated Micro had reluctantly agreed to. Following Castle's instructions, Micro called him back an hour later and was then told to go to the within twenty minutes, promising that if he realized that Micro was having somebody follow him then he would end all the communication. With no other choice, Micro then left his hideout and drove under the bridge, only to see no sign of Castle, who called Micro back and ordered him to head to the docks on forty first street. Once he arrived there, Micro was ordered to go to Greenpoint Terminal, and then Mount Zion Cemetery, much to Micro's annoyance as he then quietly called Castle an asshole. Getting out of his car, Micro headed to where he knew Castle wanted him to go, his grave, where he began searching for Castle. However, to Micro's shock, he was instead greeted by Curtis Hoyle, as Micro drew his gun, only for Hoyle to calmly put his hands up, and explain that Castle had him in his crosshairs at that very moment and would kill him if he dared to hurt Hoyle. Hoyle told Micro that Castle did not like what he was selling and had left, noting that if Micro tried to find him again, then he would go after Sarah, as Hoyle then walked away, ignoring a desperate Micro who insisted that Castle needed him. Feeling completely defeated by Castle, Micro then returned back to his hideout, locking the doors behind him while he desperately tried to think of what he should do next, now that Castle had refused to assist him. Putting his gun away, Micro grabbed a bottle of whiskey while thinking aloud. However, to his shock, Micro then witnessed Castle stepping out of the trunk of his car, having used Hoyle as his distraction to allow Micro to then drive him straight into his hideout. Coming face to face with Castle, Micro could not help but burst out laughing, before Castle knocked him unconscious with a punch.

Punisher's Interrogation
"Guys like us paranoia is second nature. I get it. You're wondering if I'm some kind of a decoy to lure you out. I'm not. It's safe here. So no need for any of this stuff. It's definitely safe, okay? You don't need to interrogate a man that's waited months just to talk to you."

- Micro to Frank Castle

Having been knocked unconscious, Micro was woken up with a start when Frank Castle threw a bucket of freezing cold water at him while he was tied naked onto a chair. Micro found Castle watching him, as Micro claimed that he understood that they both understood paranoia, noting Castle was paranoid that he could be the decoy to lure him out, which Micro denied was the case. Micro assured Castle that his hideout was safe and that there was no need for violence. With Castle not saying a word, Micro insisted that he did not need to interrogate him as he had been waiting months just to meet Castle. Micro became even more nervous as Castle walked over to him with a can and a knife, only for Castle to use the knife to open the can, as Micro laughed due to relief. While Castle then wiped off the blade on Micro's arm, Micro noted that he understood that Castle was simply trying to intimidate him, only for Castle to then question if he always talked this much, to which Micro claimed that he talked whenever he was nervous, as Castle made it clear that Micro should be nervous. While Castle had continued eating from the can, Micro overheard the countdown alarm going off on his computer systems, as Castle then questioned what it was. With Castle drawing his gun and searching for danger, Micro had claimed that the entire hideout was rigged with explosives and that he needed to type a code into the central control to stop it from exploding. However, Castle did not believe Micro, only for Micro to insist that he was not lying. When Castle demanded to know the password, Micro claimed it needed a retinal scan, although Castle had responded by sitting opposite Micro and just waiting. With the countdown still going on, Micro then cursed at Castle before desperately attempting on bounce the chair he was tied to towards the controls. Finally believing him, Castle then dragged Micro's chair to his control room, only to notice the gun hidden under Micro's desk moments before he untied him, as Castle grabbed Micro's hair and demanded to know if he was going to try and shoot him, while Micro insisted that he had simply forgotten that it was there. With only thirty seconds left, Castle then untied Micro and allowed him to type in his password and do a retinal scan, finally shutting off all the alarms. Although Castle had demanded that he shut off these systems, Micro claimed that they were all hardwired into the mainframe. Castle then began to tie Micro back onto the chair, as Micro cursed him for doing this, only for Castle to punch him in the gut. Micro then claimed that the same people who tried to kill Castle had killed him, as Castle had demanded answers, while Micro simply requested pants and offered to make tea. Castle responded by hitting Micro, as he commented on how the body could get used to pain if it had a routine, noting that it was only when a routine was taken away, that people break down. Castle continued to mock Micro by threatening to take away his food and water before noting that Micro knew what was happening to him and he would not be able to rationalize it. Castle also claimed that torture was not pain, but time, as the person being tortured realized that their life is over and they only had the nightmare. Broken by this, Micro then told Castle that he was an NSA analyst who was ordered to looked over Afghanistan intelligence, noting that while most of it was useless due to people paying others to make up stories, until he eventually received footage that he considered to be interesting. Micro told Castle how he was given footage of Ahmad Zubair getting tortured and executed by Cerberus Squad and had then responded by sending that to Dinah Madani, to try and get to the bottom of the conspiracy, only for him to be attacked by Carson Wolf who shot him in the chest, only for the phone in his pocket to save his life, allowing Micro to go into hiding while his family thought he was dead. Castle noted how Sarah Lieberman had thought he was brave but stupid, which Micro did not deny was the truth, before Castle then sat down and had also refused Micro's request to be given a glass of water.

Discussing their Orders
"You followed orders, I did my job. You tell me what's the difference." "There's a difference." "Yeah? What's the difference? Let me ask you something. How many times was Zubair beaten? How many times was this innocent man tortured? He was a good man! He was an honorable father."

- Micro and Frank Castle

Micro was left naked on the chair for several hours, as Frank Castle read through his collection of books, until Micro began to fall asleep. Having seen this, Castle responded by throwing more cold water at Micro to wake up him, before Castle calmly demanded to know who was coming to aid Micro, although Micro denied that anyone was on the way, although Castle still did not believe him, questioning how Micro could have survived in there on his own for so long. However, Micro insisted that he had survived because he was good at staying alive, comparing himself to Castle. Micro then noted that he knew that it was easier for Castle if he believed that Micro was his enemy, but he insisted that he was actually the only friend that Castle had, although Castle simply ignored him and instead filled the water bucket. Eventually, the alarms began ringing through the hideout yet again, as Micro had convinced Castle to drag him back to the main computer network to switch it off again. However, Castle insisted that there were no bombs in the hideout as he would have found them. Castle had noted how Micro had continued asking him to believe his stories while he was lying, as Micro finally confessed that there were no explosives, but had asked to be turned around so he could show Castle something on the computers. Getting untied, Micro revealed that Castle was being recorded and the countdown would cause the footage to be sent to multiple media outlets, which would reveal that Castle was still alive, noting that it was there to ensure that if he was ever found, his murderers could be broadcast to the world and would show his family that he was not the traitor he had been painted as. Once the countdown was turned off, Micro noted that if he died he would lose his final chance to see his family again. Castle noted his own wife and two children were gone because of the footage that Micro had sent to him, although Micro commented that Castle still had a part in that, as Castle responded by striking him across the face and ordering Micro to be quiet. Micro went on to questioned how long Ahmad Zubair was tortured for, noting that Zubair was an innocent man. Castle responded by grabbing Micro's throat, while Micro remained confident that Castle would still not kill him.

Regaining his Control
"You and I both thought that we were serving our country. We both thought that." "Type the code." "And now if I go home, I get my family killed. You know, you and I together, we could change that."

- Micro and Frank Castle

Micro continued to watch Frank Castle while Castle fell asleep in his chair, until he awoke from his bad dream, with Micro noting the date and wishing him a Happy Birthday, making it clear that he now knew everything about him. Micro then jokingly suggested that if Castle set him free, then he would go out and buy Castle a birthday cake, as he had continued asking while also noting that Castle would have to give him something to eat or drink eventually, or just kill him. The pair were then interrupted as Micro's alarms restarted, as Castle dragged him back into the mainframe while noting that Micro never should have come after him. However, Micro insisted that he did not have a choice, as their families were taken away from them, although Castle insisted that Micro's family was still alive while his own was gone, claiming that Micro just thrown his family away. Micro noted that he and Castle had thought that they were serving their country, but if he returned home his entire family would get killed, noting that they could change that before shutting off the computer's alarms. However, this time when Castle went to retie Micro to the chair, Micro used a hidden needle in his pen to then stab Castle in the arm with a secret drug. When the alarmed Castle tried to attack Micro, he simply responded by stabbing Castle in the other arm with the needle again. The drugs quickly took hold of Castle, who had stumbled backwards before collapsing on the floor and losing consciousness. Once Castle fell asleep onto his floor, Micro leaned down as he apologized to him. As Castle was out, Micro had then gotten free from his chair, put on his clothes and took Castle to a bed, waiting for him to wake up.

Recruiting the Punisher
"I don't care if we trust each other or not. I don't wanna be blood brothers. That stuff is for kids in tree houses. But you and me, we want the same thing right now. So work with me." "One condition. They die. Every single one of them. No trials. No bullshit. They die." "Yeah, I can live with that."

- Micro and Frank Castle

Micro had waited for Frank Castle to wake up for quite some time, as Castle had then eventually tried to get out of the bed, only to fall onto the floor due to the drugs taking all of his strength as Micro came to help him. Micro offered Castle a cup of coffee, as Castle questioned why Micro did not kill him, with Micro becoming frustrated that Castle had not been listening to him. Castle then questioned if Micro needed to turn off the computer's alarms, to which Micro explained that he had just turned those off. Micro commented on how Castle had been right about how routines could lull people into a false sense of security, which was how Micro had been able to get the drop on him, as Castle then called Micro an asshole. Micro noted that the people who had tried to kill them also had patterns which did not involve them. Castle noted that he did not want a partner, although Micro told him to get over himself as there was no place for emotion, noting that they both had done things that they wished they could take back but they could not, and now they had scores to settle with the people who had destroyed their lives. As Castle recalled how he had encountered Agent Orange during his service in Afghanistan and almost killed him after one failed mission, Micro then noted that he could have ended it that night, but failed to, resulting in his wife and two children being murdered. Micro noted how Castle was waring a war against both the United States Armed Forces and CIA, but he had been taken down by a man zip-tied to an office chair, while insisting that they needed each other to get their revenge, promising that he had spent months hacking into agencies to prepare for this mission and calling Castle a blunt instrument. When Castle continued to struggle to stand up, Micro brought over the chair for him to sit in so that he could show Castle something on his computers, which Castle reluctantly agreed to. Micro explained that Ray Schoonover had been using heroin sales to fund Operation Cerberus, before proving Cerberus was wiped from the records, and was never approved by the United States Congress, explaining that Agent Orange had turned Castle into a private hitman. Micro finally convinced Castle to work with him, under the agreement that Castle was allowed to kill every single person involved in his conspiracy.

Resupplying the Weaponry
"We should have just got the guns on the street." "Yeah, is that what we should have done, Lieberman? You wanna put money into those animals' hands? That's not happening, all right? Not on my watch." "I keep forgetting about your thing, Frank. Only do unto bad guys, rob Badass Peter so you can kill Psycho Paul."

- Micro and Frank Castle

While Frank Castle went on a mission to steal Turk Barrett's supply of guns, Micro had remained inside the hideout, where he had continued to watch all the video feeds of his family, observing Sarah snuggling on the sofa with Leo, before sending their daughter to bed while she stayed on the sofa. Watching his wife trying to relax, Micro had gently touched the computer screen, wishing that he could be back with his family and able to comfort them, before hearing Castle returning to the hideout after his mission. However, Castle explained that Micro's intelligence had been off, as Barrett did not have any of those guns that had been described, as those had been shipped off elsewhere, as Micro noted that the New York City Police Department were not aware of that as he had been checking their email reports. Although Micro insisted that Castle had to believe him, Castle expressed his anger at the failure as he held up the pink toy sniper rifle with no ammo, questioning if they should go against Agent Orange with that. Castle had slammed the pink gun on Micro's desk as he then demanded that he locate that gun supply. Micro spent the next few hours going through the various intelligence agencies information in order to locate those guns, taking a break to do some stretches, before noticing that Castle was cleaning the gun that he kept hidden under his desk. As Micro claimed that it was kind of low to take his partner's gun, Castle questioned if he believed they were actually partners. Micro listened as Castle made a long winded point about if Zach Lieberman had asked for a dog and failed to take care of it until their dog became sick, as Micro had then insisted that he would not simply shoot the dog or the kid in that circumstance. Castle made it clear that Micro was the kid in this metaphor and he was teaching him how to look after the gun which was the dog in the metaphor, noting that he would only do it once as he gave Micro his gun back. Micro claimed that he knew how to clean the gun but had never used it, only having it for show, which Castle scoffed at, noting that this weapon was the difference between life and death. Sitting back down, Micro commented that they should have simply bought the guns from off the streets, although Castle insisted that he would not help to fund gun runners, as Micro mocked his moral code. Micro began comparing Castle to, before they were then interrupted once Castle got a phone call, revealing that it was Micro's wife. Micro questioned how Sarah had Castle's number, to which he explained that he had also gotten hers for leverage on Micro, which made Micro extremely uncomfortable. When Micro questioned what she wanted, Castle handed him the phone and allowed him to listen to Sarah's voicemail, where she had explained that she needed him to sign a statement for her insurance to get her car fixed. Micro then told Castle that his wife still had nothing to do with the situation. Micro requested that Castle sort out Sarah's insurance in exchange for Micro finding the guns, promising not to find them before Castle helped out his wife. While Castle had then gone into the Lieberman Residence, Micro watched the hidden cameras closely, witnessing his wife noting that Zach was becoming an asshole, as Castle subtly compared him to Micro, much to his annoyance. Micro had watched Castle help Leo fix the family's garbage disposal, while Sarah noted how her husband never got his hands dirty, before noting how much she missed him while Castle had also offered to fix her headlight.

Locating the Guns
"There's a dead man in a wheelbarrow out there." "Yeah. I didn't do that." "You do this?" "Yeah, I did this 'cause they did that."

- Micro and Frank Castle

Once Frank Castle had helped out Sarah Lieberman like he asked him to, Micro had continued searching for the guns, managing to hack into Homeland Security's database using an admin account. During Micro's hacking, Castle used his guitar, complaining that it was poorly tuned, as Micro explained that he had bought this at a pawnshop to help pass the time, but had soon discovered that he was terrible at the guitar, although Castle insisted that all it took was some dedication, as Micro asked if he would discuss the dog again. Eventually, Micro then discovered that Homeland Security had been attempting to buy the guns from the Greek Mob, noting that the New York City Police Department and ATF had been warned to keep their distance, as Homeland intended to arrest the Greeks when they had arrived. Micro then pulled up the tactical plans that had been written up by Dinah Madani and Sam Stein, showing that Homeland planned to surround the area with their snipers and hidden agents ready for a ambush. Seeing the scale of Homeland's operation, Castle then told Micro that they would need to get their hands on a new vehicle. Micro joined Castle on a mission to the garage owned by Mazur, who was in the process of torturing a tied up Wilcox, having just used his blowtorch to murder Joe. Micro had kept himself out of the way while Castle murdered Gabi before confronting Mazur and the rest of those men, using the fake grenade which he had taken from Turk Barrett to scare Mazur before engaging in the brief shootout, resulting with the death of Mazur and his men. Micro stepped out and commented on finding Joe's corpse in a wheelbarrow, as Castle insisted that he did not kill Joe but did admit to killing everyone else for killing Joe. Not being used to being around corpses, Micro struggled to cope in the situation, while Castle demanded that he not throw up to ensure that he did not leave his DNA for the police to find, which Micro just insisted that he would not as he requested a moment to get a hold of himself. Micro commented that the dead men smelled more than he was expecting, as Castle insisted that he would get used to it in the end, although Micro would prefer not to. Micro and Castle then left Wilcox tied up as Micro took the van while Castle took an American sports car and they then drove out of Mazur's garage together.

Robbery of the Greek's Guns
"What did you do?" "What did I do? What did I do? What did I do? I got my hands I got my hands dirty, you piece of shit!" "Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey! Go home. Go home."

- Frank Castle and Micro

As they made the final preparations for the mission, Frank Castle had loaded up their cars while Micro sat in his hideout, as he looked at his gun while considering what was about to happen. When Castle told him it was time to go, Micro claimed that he could not do it, insisting that he used computers and could not be involved with the mission, although Castle insisted that he needed another man. However, when Castle noted that Sarah Lieberman claimed that he never got his hands dirty, this motivated Micro to get up and rejoin him. Driving his car just in range of the area the gun exchange, Micro was able to hack into Homeland Security's systems, as he then watched Homeland's agents follow the van filled with the Greek Mob's guns and, once they came into position, Micro then looped the video feed before replacing Homeland's radios with a loud song, allowing Castle to get on top of the truck while Homeland was unable to see or hear this happening. Once Agents Bowers and Sinclair tried to investigate what was happening to the truck, Castle had already taken the guns and forced them to retreat, before Micro had then rejoined him. Micro then drove the truck away from the area while Castle followed behind in their car, with both of them trying not to draw any attention to themselves during their escape. However, before long Micro then noticed they were being followed by Dinah Madani, who had worked out what was happening, as Castle ordered Micro to head towards the highway, while he stayed behind and cut off Madani. Micro then saw Castle slam on the breaks of his car and force Madani to chase him across Red Hook Pier, as he ordered Micro to keep driving and not follow him, although Micro eventually decided to head back. As Micro rejoined the chase, he then found Castle and Madani were charging straight at one another at full speed. In response, Micro had smashed the truck into the side of Madani's car, which sent it rolling across the road onto it's back while a small fire started. While Micro was in a state of shock, Castle furiously questioned what he just did, to which the shaken Micro claimed that he had gotten his hands dirty like his wife had wanted. Castle then demanded that Micro drive the truck to their hideout, while Castle took the barely conscious Madani out of the wreak of her car and laid her on the side of the road.

Confronting Frank Castle
"If Homeland Security enters your name in the system, let me ask you, how long before Agent Orange knows that?" "Maybe you should've stuck to the plan." "Frank, you were driving right at her. That was this stupid, bullshit, macho game of chicken part of the plan?"

- Micro and Frank Castle

In the wake of the robbery of the Greek Mob's entire arsenal of guns, Micro and Frank Castle had returned into their hideout, where Micro continued to claim that it was unnecessary for Castle to have risked being exposed by pulling Dinah Madani out from her wreaked car, noting that a trained Homeland agent should have been able to get herself out of the car without needing any help, regardless of the situation. While Castle continued laying out the guns, he complained that Micro was still talking about all this, while Micro insisted that he needed to hear everything he had to say. While Micro continued working on his drone, Castle claimed that he thought he was always correct, to which Micro questioned if Madani knowing he was alive was an issue or not, leading to their discussion about whether Madani was actually unconscious. Micro insisted that things had become much more complicated, noting that if Homeland Security entered Castle's name into their systems, then it would not be long until Agent Orange discovered that as well. When Castle had insisted that Micro should have stuck to their plan, Micro noted that he was being stupid by driving directly towards Madani's vehicle. Calling out Castle for his macho attitude, Micro insisted that if he was caught by Homeland Security, then he would never be able to see his family again, which was why Micro made that decision to crash into Madani's car. However, Castle claimed that what Micro wanted was for him to get his problems sorted but relentless nagged him about it, questioning if he had treated Sarah Lieberman this way. When Castle then questioned if he wife really wanted him back, Micro had laughed this off, before Castle explained that he was leaving to go speak with his wife, while Micro had noted that Castle was trying to be hurtful. While Castle was back at the Lieberman Residence, Micro watched his security cameras as Sarah had spoken with Leo Lieberman about inviting Castle to dinner once he had fixed the light on their car. As he watched, Castle joined Sarah and Leo and politely rejected their offer for dinner, while Leo showed off her copy of . During the conversation, Zach Lieberman had showed his displeasure at having another man at their house in the aftermath of his father's seeming death, as Castle then accepted the offer for dinner, much to the clear displeasure of Micro who continued watching all the video feeds.

Tracking Gunner Henderson
"Only thing in the system is the deed to his family's land and the cabin on it. Point being, this is a man who is, you know, hiding from the world." "Maybe he just doesn't like it." "What's he gonna say when you show up? Is he gonna welcome you with open arms?"

- Micro and Frank Castle

While he waited for Frank Castle to return, Micro had rewatched the footage of Ahmad Zubair being executed by Cerberus Squad, until Castle came back and commented on how much Zach Lieberman had reminded him of Micro, calling Zach a wall to wall asshole. Micro showed Castle the footage of Zubair's execution, only for Castle to then turn it off, noting that he was there and did not need to see it, as Micro noted that someone for the Squad had risked their life by filming this, having known it was wrong. As he had rewatched the footage of Agent Orange tormenting Zubair, Castle told Micro that Gunner Henderson was the one who recorded the footage, as Micro asked about him. Castle explained that he had never actually met Henderson before they had all been recruited into Operation Cerberus, noting that he knew he was from Kentucky and liked to quote their Bibles, before he commented that Henderson had always disagreed with what they were doing, since he knew that this was wrong. Micro had then commented that if Henderson knew what they did was wrong, then he might know who Agent Orange was. While Micro began searching through various Armed Forces records to track down Henderson's whereabouts so they could ask what he knew about Agent Orange, he had noticed that Karen Page had left her flowers on her window ledge, the signal that she wanted to speak to Castle. Micro questioned how Page fit into the situation but Castle refused to explain which Micro accepted, but requested Castle buy some more groceries. Having done several hours of research, Micro discovered that Henderson was living completely off the grid without any internet, electricity or phones, without even any running water. Micro had explained everything he had learned about Henderson for Castle, who was busy loading up their van with everything that they would need for the mission, while Micro questioned how Henderson could be living without running water, to which Castle suggested that he might have a well. While Micro noted that the fact that Henderson was living in his cabin in Kentucky meant that he was hiding from the world, he questioned what Henderson's reaction would be once they turned up, suggesting that Henderson would not welcome them with open arms, although Castle just insisted Micro give him a address. However, when Micro insisted that he was coming on the mission as well, Castle merely scoffed at the idea and told him to forget about it, while Micro then claimed that Castle was still annoyed at the incident with Dinah Madani because he knew that Micro was right. Castle had then insisted that Henderson was a serious soldier and he would not have time to try and look after Micro if Henderson proved that he did not want them there, although Micro insisted that he would not even know he was there and promised to help with the driving, as Castle had then reluctantly agreed to let Micro come on their mission. During the drive from New York City up to Kentucky, Micro had then discussed Cerberus' operation in Kandahar, commenting on how it was named after the that guarded the underworld in, as well as the Greek word that had translated as spotted. Micro had then joked that named his hellhound Spot, before Castle and Henderson were part of Operation Spot, while Castle tried to ignore him. Micro then handed Castle a bagged meal, before then getting out his own sandwich which he made earlier, while Castle had taken offense that Micro did not bother to make him a sandwich.

Attack on Gunner Henderson
"I'm assuming you and your buddy are the two hiding behind the tree? The closest two are behind you at your five and seven. Now they are gonna come up behind you from either side of the tree and then you got ten seconds till the next pair comes at you from the front making it a crossfire."

- Micro to Punisher

Upon arriving into Kentucky, Micro and Frank Castle looked over the area, as Castle ordered Micro to get their van off the road and to stay hidden while he went to find Gunner Henderson. Before he left, Micro handed Castle a radio, noting that having it with him could not hurt, although Castle had insisted that he did not want to hear from Micro unless he spoke to him first. Castle then made his way to Henderson's cabin, telling Micro not to get his hands dirty this time. While he waited for any updates from Castle, Micro had kept himself entertained by reading, as Leo Lieberman had recently recommended this to Castle. However, after he waited for some time, Micro overheard helicopters arriving at the area, as he realized that a team of mercenaries had arrived to attack Henderson, as Micro then grabbed the radio and warning Castle that he had company. Wanting to do something to assist Castle and Henderson, Micro went into the van and collected his drone, which he had then launched into the air to scan the woods and provide key intel to Castle about where these mercenaries were coming from so he was ready for any attacks. Watching from his drone's cameras, Micro had soon spotted Castle and Henderson, who were now hiding behind a tree stump and were clearly wounded and quickly running out of ammunition to continue the fight. Micro gave Castle a heads up on two mercenaries coming up behind them, allowing them to swiftly take them down before they continued to run. Micro directed Castle and Henderson on where to go and hide to avoid being seen, until they had managed to get the drop on all of the mercenaries and killed them all, sending a warning to whoever had sent them that Castle would be coming for them. When the day turned into night, Micro continued to search for Castle and Henderson, who had just become to wounded to keep running. Eventually, Micro was forced to run into the woods himself, where he finally managed to find Castle, who had collapsed in the middle of the woods from his wounds. Having also found Henderson, who had bled out and died from his wounds, Micro was forced to drag Castle back to the van and set up an IV drip for him, before he drove as fast as he could back into New York City to try and get Castle medical aid before Castle could bleed out and die from all the various injuries.

Recruiting Curtis Hoyle
"Does he need blood? I'm a universal donor." "Blood's not the problem. His temperature is 104. He's septic." "I've been giving him fluids and antibiotics." "None of that's gonna do any good until we get that arrow out of him. It's a foreign object filled with bacteria. The body's trying to fight it but can't."

- Micro and Curtis Hoyle

Having driven back to New York City from Kentucky, Micro had then realized that Frank Castle would soon die from his wounds unless he got medical attention quickly. However, knowing that Castle would undoubtedly be arrested for his murders if he was taken to Metro-General Hospital, Micro was forced to think of somebody else who could assist him. With no other choice, Micro went into Curtis Hoyle's Apartment and banged on the door until Hoyle answered. Micro told Hoyle that Castle was dying, as Hoyle had immediately agreed to help to save his friend before it was too late. Getting Castle back to their hideout, Micro and Hoyle laid him on the table, as Hoyle assessed the situation while Micro offered to donate his blood as he was a universal donor. While Micro explained that he had been supplying Castle with fluids, Hoyle noted that they first had to remove the arrow that Gunner Henderson had shot into Castle's shoulder, as it was poisoning his body, resulting in all the antibiotics fighting a losing battle. Micro had questioned if Hoyle would pull the arrow out, to which Hoyle explained it would cause more damage to Castle if he did as he asked if Micro was okay with the situation. Micro was then asked to hold Castle still as they turned him onto his side so Hoyle to get access to the arrow in his shoulder, watching in disgust as Hoyle cut through the other side of Castle's shoulder so he could pull it through the other way. Micro was ordered to remain calm so they did not risk killing Castle during the procedure, although he continued to look away and hold back his complete disgust as the arrow was pulled out. Once the arrow was out, Micro stopped all the blood while Hoyle poured some whiskey on the wound to clean it, as he used a staple gun to close the wound, finishing up the surgery. As Hoyle cauterized the wound, he gave Micro a drink before Micro offered to make some coffee. Hoyle questioned why Micro had gone after him, which Micro mistook to mean going after Henderson, but Hoyle explained that he wanted to know why Micro had first targeted Castle, noting that it was Micro's fault that Castle was in this state. As Hoyle then questioned if he believed that any of this would make a difference in the long run, Micro explained that he had to believe it would, although Hoyle noted that this would actually only help Micro, questioning what effect this mission it would have upon Castle.

Frank Castle's Recovery
"I have been monitoring the radio chatter, just in case we hear something about us or one of our targets. Mostly it's just been random shit, you know, dead air. You know what this is?" "Yeah. I'm Raven." "Who is that?" "It's Billy Russo. We served together. He's a friend."

- Micro and Frank Castle

While waiting for Frank Castle to wake up after his surgery, Micro had kept himself amused by sitting in his hideout and attempting to learn to play the guitar. Eventually, some of Micro's alarms went off, telling him that it was time to change Castle's I.V. drips as Curtis Hoyle had instructed. However, this time as Micro then gave Castle some fluids to help with his recovery, Castle woke up with a start, as he then immediately began questioning where Gunner Henderson was now, noting that Henderson was still out in those woods while Micro attempting to get Castle to calm down. Micro then insisted that Castle had to lie down onto the bed, before explaining that he had already found Henderson in Kentucky and he had been killed by those mercenaries who had been sent after them. Upon learning that Henderson had been killed in the fight, Castle was distraught, noting that he had left him behind, which was something he had vowed never to do to a fellow soldier from their United States Marine Corps, as he demanded that Micro let him find Henderson's body, although Micro explained that he had already taken care of it, which finally allowed Castle to then relax and get some more rest. While Castle was resting, Micro watched the videos of the Lieberman Residence, where Sarah and Leo were discussing her last maths test which she had excelled at. As Leo noted that Zach was outside on a skateboard, Sarah invited him inside as she questioned where he got the skateboard from. When Sarah then accused Zach of stealing the skateboard from Dinesh, Zach had responded by punching his sister, leading to a massive argument as Micro watched in horror. Zach then screamed that they were a family of snitches and traitors, before then smashing a family picture and storming away, devastating Micro. Micro later assisted Castle by placing a bandage on a wound on his side, as Castle thanked him. However, the pair were then interrupted by a radio transmission coming in, where a voice was calling out to Raven from Blackbird, as Micro had explained that it sounded like a recording but was coming in from all frequencies, noting that he had been listening to the radios in case he heard any talk about them or one of their targets. Castle then explained that he knew what it meant as he was Raven and Blackbird was Billy Russo, who he had served with in the Marine Corps and who he considered to be a friend. Micro expressed his concerns, as he questioned if Russo knew that Castle was still alive, which Castle denied, although Micro noted that all these radio messages appeared to indicate that Russo did know he was alive after all. When Micro questioned if they needed to worry about Russo, Castle then insisted that they did not as Russo was his life or death kind of a friend. Despite all Castle's reassurances, Micro had insisted that this was a serious development as Russo was now broadcasting his name all over their radio, although Castle continued to insist Russo was a friend and so they did not need to worry.

Billy Russo's Persistence
"So, your friend, Billy. He's serious, Frank. He's a private military contractor now. Connected. Government contracts overseas. This guy is I got the impression that this is not a man that's gonna reach out to you unless he knows that you're alive." "No, he doesn't know. He might suspect it, but he doesn't know."

- Micro and Frank Castle

With Frank Castle now out of bed, Micro made dinner for them both, as he offered Castle his choice of a meal with Castle taking a turkey meal. While they ate together, Castle had asked Micro if he or Sarah Lieberman cooked for most thanksgiving dinners at the Lieberman Residence, as Micro explained that they shared responsibility, noting that they would often have a lot of people, including their extended family and friends come to their home for thanksgiving. Castle explained that Maria Castle did all of the cooking in the Castle Residence, noting that it was always filled with as much meat as was possible, while Micro and Castle shared a laugh over the memories. Micro listened while Castle explained how he could easily remember his wife while she was either standing in their kitchen, talking on the phone or dancing to music, as Castle then noted that they were not perfect but he could now only remember their relationship fondly, commenting on how he always could remember Maria's smile, which Micro understood as he remembered his own wife back at home. Changing the subject, Micro had told Castle that Billy Russo become a businessman upon leaving the Marine Corps, founding Anvil as he gained Government contracts. Micro explained that Russo would not reach out unless he was sure that Castle was alive, although Castle insisted that he only suspected this. Micro asked if Castle planned to call Russo, as Castle noted a Marine could handle disappointments, before Micro contemplated that somebody else might know that he was still alive. As Micro went on about this, Castle had explained that Russo was family to him, making it clear that he trusted Russo. However, Micro and Castle were later joined at their hideout by Curtis Hoyle, who then explained that Russo had just come into St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church and told him of Castle's survival, having been told about it by Dinah Madani. While Hoyle had then expressed his annoyance at having to lie for Castle once again, Micro stayed at the side while Russo's voice came back onto the radio, as Micro had noted that Russo was coming on every hour. Although Hoyle noted that Russo had said that he wanted to help Castle and he could help him, Castle insisted that the less people who knew he was alive, the better it would be, although Hoyle noted that Castle was not safe. Hoyle also noted that Castle had almost gotten himself killed while he tried to protect Gunner Henderson on his own, questioning what it had all been for. When Micro tried to offer an opinion, Hoyle told him to be quiet, insisting that he was not allowed to have an opinion in a conversation between Marines, which Micro accepted as he stepped back. Hoyle questioned if he would have to keep lying for Castle, to which Castle advised him to do what he thought was right. As Hoyle walked out of their hideout, Micro told him not to talk about it, before he recommended Castle meet with Russo if he really trusted him. Following Micro's advice, Castle went to meet with Russo to discuss possibly getting safe passage out of New York City before Homeland Security caught up with him. While Castle was gone, Micro walked through their hideout, looking over the guns they had stolen from the Greek Mob as well as the van they took from Mazur. However, when Micro went over to his main computer mainframe, he had witnessed Castle arriving into the Lieberman Residence and then being greeted by Sarah Lieberman, who was furious that Castle had failed to turn up for the dinner he had been invited into, as Castle had claimed that he had been involved with an accident that stopped him coming. Micro watched closely as Sarah told Castle that she trusted him but did not know why and offered him a glass of wine, which Castle had refused, before Sarah admitting that she was having a rough week with her family, noting that Zach had become a bully while Leo was punishing herself whenever she did not overachieve. Micro watched with sadness while Sarah admitted to not know how to help with her children's grief. Castle promised Sarah that things would get better for her, as Castle had noted that her children were why she would get through her grief. Castle told Sarah that he might have found his own coping method and promised things would get better for them.

Target: Morty Bennett
"I've accessed his credit cards, bank statements, phone records. I know where he gets his dry cleaning. I know what he got his own mother for her birthday. Colonel Bennett entertains at home every Saturday night, like clockwork. Trust me. He's gonna be tied up with company when you arrive." "The sooner we find him, the sooner I get to put the guy down."

- Micro and Frank Castle

While Micro made food for them both, he tried to ignore Frank Castle doing pull ups in the hideout, while he recommended that Castle not overdo his work out. While they ate dinner together, Micro and Castle looked over their plans to infiltration into Fort Bryon, where Castle had planned to go in and then confront Morty Bennett, one of the former leaders of Cerberus Squad, in order to then trick Bennett to inadvertently leading them into Agent Orange's location once he had panicked and tried to get some help. Micro and Castle then discussed how Castle would get into the Fort to confront Bennett, before making his way to their extraction point where Micro would be waiting in their van to drive them back to the hideout. Castle then noted that Agent Orange clearly knew that he was alive in the wake of the attack on Gunner Henderson and knew that he was coming for him, since Agent Orange was watching those video feeds carried by the mercenaries. Micro then commented that if Henderson was correct, then Bennett would know Agent Orange's name, as Castle made it clear that he was sure that Bennett knew. As they continued going over the plans, Castle insisted that the most important thing was that Bennett would have to be where Micro said he was, as Micro insisted that he was positive as he had accessed all of his credit cards, bank statements, and phone records, giving him a clear understanding of Bennett's routines, so he knew that Bennett would have his Mistress at the Fort in the evening. When Castle had noted that he planned to kill him, Micro questioned if Castle meant that he planned to kill Bennett or Agent Orange, since killing Bennett was not part of their plan, as Castle insisted he knew the plan. Micro questioned if Castle became confused and would kill Bennett when he was standing opposite him and became angry. Castle then responded by mocking Micro, questioning what he knew about killing a man, as Micro then made it clear that he had never killed anybody. Castle suggested that Micro infiltrate the base while he waited in the car. Micro noted that he knew he could not do what Castle did and noted his appreciation for what he was doing. Castle then noted his concern that any young Armed Forces soldier attempted to stop him, questioning if he would have to kill that soldier for doing his job.

Infiltration into Fort Bryon
"Tonight was a success, you were right. Agent Orange knew we would go after Bennett next, and they were waiting for us. They set a trap, but we saw it coming. They think they out-thought us. It's the other way around. You understand that? If he calls anyone or moves, we're gonna know it."

- Micro to Punisher

As their plan went into action, Micro had remained inside the van just outside of Fort Bryon while Frank Castle snuck onto the base. Talking on the radios Micro noted that he could see Castle from his drone's camera. As Castle ran to their target, Micro had commented that he was clear to proceed, until he spotted two soldiers on patrol and told Castle wait before carrying on to Morty Bennett's quarters, where Bennett and his Mistress were engaging in sexual power play. Once Castle got into the room with Bennett, Micro was able to hack into Bennett's phone so that they would be able to track it wherever Bennett went next, in the hope that he would then lead them straight to Agent Orange. However, while Bennett was begging for his life and claiming that it was Agent Orange and Ray Schoonover who forced to him commit the crimes during Operation Cerberus, Micro noticed a team of mercenaries had arrived and were storming into Bennett's room. Castle was then forced to remain in the room while they were hacking into Bennett's phone, as he filled the room with smoke. Micro could then do nothing else but wait for the hack into Bennett's phone to be completed, as Castle kept himself out of sight inside the smoke filled room, taking out the team of mercenaries one at a time. Finally, the hack was completed just as Castle shot the leader of the mercenaries in his Bulletproof Vest and made his escape. Micro had then continued to watch Castle from their drone as he made his way through the base, avoiding any soldiers who were searching for him, until Castle made his way into a tunnel, which he used to get back to the van, commenting that it was easier when he could kill people. While they had waited for Bennett's next move, Micro had listened to Castle complain that he should have killed Bennett when he had the chance, although Micro noted that they would have learned nothing if he did that. Castle suggested that they were trying to be to smart, as Micro noted that he meant him which Castle confirmed. However, he then noted that the mission to confront Bennett had been a success, as Agent Orange had predicted the move but they had seen that trap coming, meaning that Agent Orange mistakenly believed that he had the upper hand which he did not, as they now just had to wait. Since Bennett still had not left the Fort, Castle questioned if he might have realized they were tracking his phone, although Micro had then noted that if he did then he would have just turned it off. Seeing that Castle looked to be uncomfortable, Micro asked what was wrong as Castle explained that he had been stopped by a younger soldier and he was forced to shoot him in the leg. Castle noted that the soldier made a choice to be a loyal soldier but was put under the command of Bennett who abused that loyalty. As Castle vowed to kill everyone involved in Cerberus, Micro saw that Bennett was on the move. As they were driving towards Bennett's location, Micro commented on how he was dreaming of seeing his wife and two children again, and could not believe it might actually happen, noting that they had been living with his death for so long and he might just walk through the door of their Lieberman Residence, noting that they would need serious therapy. When Castle agreed that it would not be easy, Micro then jokingly noted that Castle was supposed to reassure him that it would be fine, acknowledging that he just wanted Castle to lie to him about how that reunion would go as they shared a laugh together. Micro then listened as Castle him about how his unit had done fifteen month rotations in Afghanistan, which would result with them coming home to find a child. However, Micro claimed that this situation was different as he had allowed his whole family to think he was dead and he was unsure if they would understand. Castle noted that Micro had not missed anything as he was watching the cameras, noting that he should keep that part quiet and just hug his family and never let them go. Micro then asked if Castle regretted not taking Billy Russo's offer, to which he claimed he could take it up once they were finished. Micro and Castle eventually tracked Bennett's phone down to a CIA Safe House, as Castle noted that Bennett must have gone to Agent Orange for protection just as they assumed. Micro told Castle to be careful as Castle took his sniper rifle out of the back of their van and then took his position to assassinate Agent Orange once and for all. However, the mission quickly went wrong when Castle fired a shot at Agent Orange, only for it to hit bulletproof glass while also setting off multiple alarms across the safe house, forcing Castle to run back into the van while Agent Orange had remained completely unharmed.

Naming Agent Orange
"They are the power behind the throne. They're old, old Virginia money. Plantations, shipping and industry, arms. Who knows what else they have their hands in." "Sounds like you got a crush on the guy." "He's the director of covert ops, Frank. I mean, for all I know he's been waiting for somebody to look for him."

- Micro and Frank Castle

Although the assassinate attempt at the CIA's Safe House had been unsuccessful, Frank Castle's sniper rifle had still managed to record their images of Agent Orange's face, which Micro had then put into his computer database to try and find a match. Eventually, the computer matched Agent Orange's image to William Rawlins, as he explained to Castle that Rawlins was the director of covert operations at the CIA, as he noted that it made sense that it took a high ranking agent to create this massive conspiracy. While Castle complained that Rawlins' records showed he had been blinded in one eye in the line of duty, when in reality that was Castle punching him in the eye socket, Micro explained that Rawlins' family always had connections, having built their money in plantations and the Rawlins Logistics Corp, which gave Rawlins connections with the heads of all of the major agencies. Micro had then began to fear that Rawlins had actually been waiting for someone to access these files and so he could have blown their cover, although Castle assured him that the CIA were not looking for them as there was no talk online. Castle noted that Rawlins kept quiet to both their CIA and FBI about the incident with Gunner Henderson in Kentucky as well as their raid of Fort Bryon to kidnap Morty Bennett, although Micro did note that the New York Bulletin had written a piece about Bennett being found stabbed to death in a motel room, with Castle being unsurprised that Rawlins had Bennett killed to ensure he did not talk. Castle made it clear that the CIA were not coming after them, as Rawlins had even covered up their assassination attempt at the Safe House, so clearly Rawlins was considerably more scared of the situation than them. While Castle went to make them some coffee, Micro turned around and noticed the cameras at the Lieberman Residence had been shut off, as he had immediately begun to panic that his family might be in danger. As he panicked, Micro demanded that Castle go straight to his house to ensure that his family was alright, fearing that Rawlins may have realized that it was Micro who was searching for him and targeted his family as a result. When Castle tried to get him to calm down, Micro lost his temper until Castle agreed to go, leaving Micro in the hideout waiting for a result about his family's current status. As he waited for the cameras to come back on at his family's house, Micro had then attempted to distract himself by making a sandwich, although he could not bring himself to eat it as he instead could only stare at the food, while checking his phone to see if Castle had tried to contact him, finding no updates from Castle. As he paced around the hideout, Micro cursed the lack of updates by smashing his phone onto the ground, only to then see that Castle had managed to get the cameras on, seeing Castle was drinking with Sarah Lieberman, as he closely watched the feed and saw Sarah was talking about him. While Micro watched, Sarah told Castle about how he used to fill up her gas tank for her, before asking why Castle never talked about his own wife. When Castle called his wife a special woman who was now gone, as Sarah asked what they should do with the rest of their lives, questioning if she would find love again. When Sarah offered Castle some dinner, he went to leave the house as Sarah gave him some of the food to go before she then kissed him, with Castle quickly pulling away and leaving the home, while Sarah had blamed the sudden kiss on the wine, as Micro watched his wife kissing his ally in despair.

Coping through Alcohol
"We give that to Madani, she arrests Rawlins, I go home. Boom! I make sweet love with my wife." "Stop that shit. Stop that shit. Rawlins dies, remember?" "Oh, that's right. Everybody dies. Your family's dead. Anyone that ever looked at you sideways, they're dead. And you just keep on going, huh? You just keep on going. You're a psychopath."

- Micro and Frank Castle

Devastated from seeing Sarah Lieberman kissing Frank Castle, Micro then resorted to drinking his sorrows away, as Castle had eventually returned into the hideout and was appalled by the state Micro was in, as he found Micro passed out on his desk. Once he woke up, Micro questioned why Castle had gotten his wife flowers, to which Castle just noted that he had needed an excuse for going in there, commenting that those flowers were always Maria Castle's favorite, as Micro had then chuckled to himself. Castle then gave Micro the food that Sarah had given him, as Micro insisted that he knew what the food was and poured himself another glass of the O'Darren's Scotch Whisky. Micro told Castle that he did not blame him for kissing his wife since she was a beautiful woman, commenting that he also did not blame her for kissing another man, since as far as she was aware she was a widow. Looking at Micro's continued drinking, Castle had questioned if this would be how they would deal with this awkward situation between them, which Micro confirmed as he chuckled and then finished the rest of his drink. With Castle now drinking with him, Micro lay on a chair and played a guitar, while Castle explained that there was always a guitar available during his time in the Marine Corps. Castle went on to say that it was through playing the guitar that he had met his wife, explaining that he had been in the park practicing with the guitar when Maria then came by and mocked him, only for Castle to be immediately smitten by her, as Micro then jokingly questioned if he beat up all Maria's friends for laughing at him. Micro called this story sweet, as he sat up and was then asked by Castle about exactly how he had first met Sarah. Micro told Castle about how he had met Sarah in junior year while he was studying History of the French Novel, joking that he was a player in those days. Micro explained that during a costume party he had seen Sarah and spoke to her there, as Castle then teased him about talking to her while she was drunk, before Micro explained that they went back to her place and neither of them had the nerve to make a move for hours, until Sarah kissed him at five in the morning. Once Micro had finished his story, Castle noted that when they knew they met the right woman they just knew, as they cheered to that. Micro had asked Castle if he ever missed having sex with his wife, as he had acknowledged that he did, while jokingly claiming that he was well endowed which Castle laughed at before Micro had dropped his trousers to try and show Castle his penis while they both laughed at the situation. Micro had then claimed that he was just showing Castle that it would not be so easy for him to steal his wife, although Castle insisted that this was all in Micro's head. While Micro then drunkenly asked Castle his thoughts on asses, he again noted that Castle had kissed his wife, which begun to annoy Castle as Micro insisted that it was okay and he was glad that it was Castle who she had kissed. While Micro went to go to the bathroom, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and told Castle that Dinah Madani would be the key to fixing the situation with William Rawlins. Micro argued that they should not be hiding from Madani as she wanted the same things that they did as he had the video of Rawlins killing Ahmad Zubair and Castle could be the eye witness which could result in Homeland Security arresting Rawlins and allowing Micro to go home to his family. However, Castle still insisted that Rawlins had to die to complete their mission, much to Micro's frustration as Castle was blocking his way back home. Losing his temper, Micro had then noted that in Castle's worldviews, everybody had to die, which Castle agreed with, as Micro noted that Castle's wife and two children were dead and now anybody else who looked at Castle sideways would have to die. As Micro went on, he called Castle a psychopath with nothing but a war inside of him, with Castle responding by furiously kicking over a table. When Micro then went to his computers in order to contact Madani, Castle demanded he put the phone down, as Micro had tried to throw a punch, only for Castle to immediately knock him unconscious with minimal effort.

Family Falling Apart
"He needs me, Frank." "Get the hell out of here. Listen to me. You wanna get him killed? Is that what you wanna do?" "He's a little baby. He needs me." "Want me to go to Madani, I'll go. I'll do whatever it takes. But you gotta go. They'll kill him. David, they will kill him. Go."

Having been left unconscious to sleep off all the alcohol, Micro had eventually woken up by the sound of Frank Castle banging plates together, as Micro found the noise unbearable while Castle gave him the food and demanded that he eat it. Micro then requested that Castle forget everything that he said that night before, except for calling Dinah Madani to help to arrest William Rawlins, although Castle still insisted that they would not be going to Madani for help and had instead insisted that he eat some food. Once Micro joined Castle at the table, he questioned if Castle had hit him, while Castle confirmed that he did. Castle then got a phone call, noting that it was from Sarah Lieberman, as he then asked Micro if he could answer it, as Micro jokingly claimed that Sarah was Castle's girlfriend. Annoyed by this, Castle then noted that he was with Maria Castle for three months before she got pregnant with Lisa and so he had immediately asked her to marry him, making it clear that he had no interest in Sarah. Listening to the voice message, Micro heard his wife claim that Zach Lieberman might be planning to hurt someone. In response to this, Castle immediately went over into the Lieberman Residence, while Micro then watched the video feeds and saw Sarah showing Castle a knife she found in Zach's backpack, asking Castle to speak to him. Micro had continued to watch from their hideout as Castle sat down with Zach and talked to him about bringing the knife to school, with Castle discussing his own experience with the blade in the Marine Corps. However, Micro was horrified when Castle held the blade to Zach's throat, until Zach finally broke down as he asked Castle to kill him, confessing that he was just scared and lonely. Although the interaction with Castle helped Zach get his feelings out into the open, Micro felt a responsibility to help his son, as he drove to the Lieberman Residence and contemplated revealing his survival. Finding Castle and Zach playing football in the street, Micro kept just out of sight until Castle spotted him. Throwing the ball so far so that Zach had to go run after it, Castle confronted Micro who claimed that his son needed him, as Castle insisted that he would only succeed in getting his family killed if he simply revealed himself now. Despite him wanting to help, Micro finally agreed and returned to the hideout.

Bombings of New York City
"Listen, Frank, are you sure that this is the same guy?" "I'm god damn sure. Just... Come on, David, just find him." "Okay, what happens when I find him?" "What do you think happens? This piece of shit's going after Karen." "What's the deal with you two?" "The deal is just that nobody goes after her. Not on my watch."

- Micro and Punisher

As they had agreed to consider talking with Dinah Madani about their situation, Micro and Frank Castle stationed themselves outside of the Madani Residence, as they had then witnessed Madani simply lying in her bed for hours, in grief over the recent death of her partner, Sam Stein during their last mission. While Castle watched with a sniper scope, Micro noted that it appeared that Madani was devastated and had nothing to do with Stein's death, while Castle had claimed that Madani was either a dirty Homeland Security agent, or just a magnet for these extremely bad situations. Micro suggested that they send Madani an encrypted email to set up their meeting, although Castle then noted that the last time Micro had sent her an email about Ahmad Zubair's death, he wound up getting shot by Carson Wolf. As they discussed the plan, Castle insisted that they would only have one chance to speak with Madani so they had to do it right, claiming that they needed to treat Madani as their high value target. As Micro went to urinate, they were then interrupted as an explosion went off into the middle of New York City, before several more explosives were detonated in the city, much to their shock. Returning to their hideout, Micro and Castle then watched Spectrum News' reports on all these bombings, as Castle complained about his hatred for bombs, while seeing footage of ATF workers getting killed by the blast, noting that this bomber had wanted to scare people into doing what he wanted, but would only succeed in bringing New York together. Micro then noted that if Homeland Security brought Madani back into work to deal with this terrorist threat then they might have a chance to speak with her, only for Castle to insist that they could not target a Homeland Agent during this crisis without being caught. While they waited for an update on the situation, Micro then listened to Castle reading Karen Page's response to the bomber's manifesto, which had been sent directly to the New York Bulletin, as Page had condemned the actions of the bomber and personally insulted him. As Castle questioned why Page was attacking the bomber like this, Micro noted that they would soon find out as Page was about to go onto the Ricky Langtry Show to discuss their situations involving this bomber along with Senator Stan Ori, as Castle then rejoined Micro to listen to the radio show to hear Page's reaction to the bomber. Micro and Castle listened as Ricky Langtry introduced his guests as he asked Page if she had any sympathy with this bomber, which she immediately denied, which Ori called that bomber a hypocrite by his use violence to defend their Second Amendment, although Langtry argued that any local hero could kill the bomber if given access to a gun, which was what Ori was arguing against. When Ori asked Page if she believed ordinary people needed guns, Castle noted that this was the wrong person to ask as Page then argued that sometimes a gun was the only thing to keep them from being killed themselves. As the debate brought up Castle's past campaign of violence, Micro glanced over to him and was shocked to learn that Castle had been charged with the murders of thirty seven criminals, although Castle claimed that these were just the ones that they knew about. As they took brief break on the show, Langtry then returned claiming that the bomber had called up and wanted to speak to Page, as Micro and Castle listened closely to the voice of the bomber. They listened to Page call the bomber a coward when he tried to argue that Ori was cannibalizing their entire country by taking away all their guns. As Page had insulted the bomber once again, he quoted the phrase "sic semper tyrannis" and then ended the call. As they turned off the radio, Castle claimed that he had heard that quote before, although Micro dismissed this as something from school. However, Castle still insisted that he had heard this recently before realizing that a veteran called Lewis said that at Curtis Hoyle's group therapy session. While he insisted that he was right and had tried to remember exactly what Hoyle had told him about Lewis, Castle then asked Micro to find him on his database, noting that Lewis drove a cab in New York City. However, Micro claimed that knowing Lewis' name and his job was not enough to go on, as Castle began to lose his temper and noted that Lewis was a United States Army veteran, white and under thirty years old, although Micro questioned if this was really the bomber. Micro then questioned what would happen once he found Lewis, to which Castle made it clear that he planned to kill him for targeting Page, comparing Page to Sarah Lieberman. When Micro noted that Sarah was his family, Castle lost his temper as he insisted that Page was his family, while he demanded that Micro find the bomber. Having spent some time searching, Micro had eventually found their bomber and identified him as Lewis Wilson, with Castle confirming it was him, as Micro gave Castle the location of the Wilson Residence. As he witnessed Castle taking his gun and then preparing to go after Wilson, Micro had suggested that they just call an anonymous tip line and leave their New York City Police Department to deal with Wilson, or they could call Hoyle to help them, which Castle refused. However, Castle went to the van and claimed Hoyle would just try to fix Wilson, and they needed to do it his way, much to Micro's displeasure. While Castle was gone, Micro had considered going behind his back to talk to Madani about William Rawlins. Micro called Castle's phone, who claimed to be outside the Wilson Residence and had not seen either Wilson or his father, before Micro claimed that he had thought about it and decided that Castle was right that he had to do what he had to about Wilson, noting that he had to do whatever was needed in order to take care of the people he loved. Micro told Castle that Wilson's phone was at a different address, which Hoyle was also at, as Castle then furiously drove to the new address to find Wilson.

Meeting Dinah Madani
"I can give you the names of everyone involved in Kandahar. The CIA Operation was off their books. That was totally illegal. The heroin was funding. Your guy Zubair, he caught wind of it, and they painted him as a terrorist, pulled him from his house, executed him." "Have you got a name?" "William Rawlins. He was the interrogator. He ran it."

- Micro and Dinah Madani

While Frank Castle was still out dealing with Lewis Wilson, Micro had finally left his hideout as he went into the bar where he found Dinah Madani, who was attempting to build up the courage to attend the funeral of Sam Stein. Sitting down next to her, Micro offered to buy Madani a drink, which she rejected by claiming to not be in the mood as she had then prepared to leave the bar. Micro had then asked if this was because of Stein's death, before revealing that he had a gun, as Madani questioned who he was.

When Micro told her his codename, Madani realized that he was who sent her the video of Ahmad Zubair's assassination, as Micro noted that a lot of people had died because he did that. Madani questioned if Micro thought that she had something to do with all of these recent deaths, which he confirmed as Madani noted that Castle had turned up alive and now Micro was sat opposite her, questioning if this was a coincidence. Madani questioned if Micro and Castle were partners and if Micro was there to kill her, Micro became annoyed as he noted that he was there because he hoped that he was right about her.

As Madani then told Micro to shoot her if that was what he intended, making it clear that she would rather not attend Stein's funeral, Micro explained that he could give Madani the names of everyone involved with Kandahar. Hearing this, Madani sat back down as Micro went on to explain that Operation Cerberus was an illegal operation from the CIA which was funded by their sale of heroin, noting that Zubair had uncovered this and was assassinated as a result. Madani then asked for a name, as Micro had told her that William Rawlins who was their interrogator and was the man who had created and run Cerberus.

When Madani then questioned if Micro could prove this, he explained that he still had all the original videos, but claimed that Madani would also need the assistance of Castle, telling her that Castle had been a member from Cerberus Squad and was in the room when Zubair was killed, as Madani then realized that Castle did not actually know that Micro was talking to her. While they were talking, Micro and Madani then saw Spectrum News' reports on Castle's survival, after he was seen on the police cameras, going on the run following an encounter with Lewis Wilson, while Micro and Madani cursed at seeing this.

Goodbye to Frank Castle
"Three days of depositions and testimony and walking Homeland through all that stuff, and I'm, like, just thinking about this moment, right? Now, I'm... Oh! I'm nervous. Am I being an asshole here?" "Yeah."

- David Lieberman and Frank Castle

As soon as William Rawlins and Billy Russo were taken down by Frank Castle, Lieberman was contacted by the Homeland Security for official testimony. Once all details were sorted out and the whole case about the Operation Cerberus, Lieberman was able to finally reunite with his family. Castle drove Lieberman to his house where his family was preparing the welcome dinner for him. Lieberman was a bit nervous, despite the fact that he was waiting for this moment for almost a year. Castle briefly ridiculed Lieberman for his nervousness in front of his own family but supported him. Lieberman then grabbed his bag and left the car, waiting for Castle to join him, however, Castle said that he will not come with him. Lieberman nodded, understanding why Castle refused to attend a dinner with him and his family and allowed him to drive away.

Lieberman then headed to his house where he was emotionally greeted by Zach and Leo who hugged their father. Sarah also stepped to Lieberman and kissed him before noticing that Castle is not with them. Lieberman told Sarah and kids to enter the house to share a dinner, starting his peaceful life with his family once again.

Personality
"You know, everything that we teach them about being good human beings that's what this comes down to. This is why I took this job. This is why we are here and I'm not writing apps in Silicon Valley. How am I supposed to look these guys in the eye, knowing that I didn't have the guts to do the right thing?"
