At some point during the mid 90's, Michelle began to work at the District Attorney's office. One day, in January 1997, while walking near an alley in New York City, Michelle was assaulted by two men, who attempted to steal her bag. She was then saved by the man who would become her husband, Max. Following their first meeting, the two began to hang out together, drinking at bars, until they get married six months later, and had their honeymoon in Montauk. Nine months later, their daughter, Rose, was born. Whlie working at the District Attorney's office, she found some documents related to a canceled government project, sent to her, by a mysterious senator. The documents belonged to the CEO of Aesir Corporation, Nicole Horne who saw Michelle as a threat and vowed to eliminate her. On August 22, 1998, Horne sent three valkyr subjects to kill both Michelle and her child Rose. They broke into the Payne house, and killed both Michelle and Rose. Max arrived at the the house, and killed the valkyr-addicted men, finding Michelle's corpse in their bedroom and breaks down in tears. Max vowed to find the murderer, and for the next three years, he investigates anyone who had anything to do with Valkyr. With the help of Alfred Woden, Max finds Horne, and kills her on the roof of the Aesir Corporation HQ, avenging Michelle. Michelle's death kept haunting Max even after he got his revenge towards Horne. Also, his affair with assassin Mona Sax did not help the situation. He finally accepted her death later in his life.
