Gerard would so figure it out!

His Mikey senses would be tingling and he'd keep staring at him, knowing that's not Mikey and he'd start to quiz him on stuff, like, what did I get for Christmas 1985 and how did I get this scar and of course Gabe wouldn't know and Gerard would lunge the space between him and Mikey, grab hold of his shirt and demand to know 'who the fuck this is and where's my brother!'

Which is when Gabe would fess up and immediately Gerard would pluck Mikey's phone out of his pocket and look for the number for Gabe, call it and as soon as it's answered, ask 'Are you okay?' And Mikey would be sitting there, surrounded by Ryland, Nate, Vicky and Alex and he'd casually say, I'm fine' and Ryland would be all, 'You're not fine! You haven't said a word for four hours! You sang with your back to the audience! You keep falling over your own feet! That is not fine!'
