SlingShot chewed on her lip as he spoke. She didn't have anywhere to go but... "Will you take care of me?", she said, quite childishly, and not quite sure why she asked. She knew she was quiet capable of taking care of herself, but the newsies always took care of each other and now she didn't have that.

"I swear. You stay loyal to me, and you'll have my protection no matter what. Wes, and everyone else too. I promise you that," he said. Once again it was the truth. He didn't know if she was accepting all this, but he did know that it was the honest to goodness truth. And if she went against him he'd be extremely mad.

SlingShot nodded, then remembered he couldn't see her. "O... okay..." she said quietly. Then she repeated herself with more confidence in her voice. "Okay!"

He smiled as the bolt came out of the closet wall. "But you have to stay loyal. The second that I think or discover other wise you lose my trust all over again... and we'll have to go through this again... think how your arms would look... trust me... staying loyal is the best plan."

SlingShot stood as she heard the bolt slide and nodded. "Okay", waiting for him to open the door.

"Okay," he said back as he opened the door to her with the charming smile back on his face. "You want to have someone look at those cuts of yours. Might get infected," he advised her. He didn't want her getting sick, or those cuts getting worse, or hurting anymore.

SlingShot nodded. "Who would look at them??" She wasn't exactly used to having a docter readily availiable. She stepped slowly out the door to face him, reveling in the light.

"I will for one. Wes if ya want. We got people runnin' around here who can treat it. Or I can just give ya a first aid kit and wish you luck," he said with a shrug and a smile. He didn't want to hurt her more, so if she wanted to treat it herself he'd let her.

SlingShot shook her head at Wes. She found herself liking him not at all. "Will you just look at them?", she asked, not wanting to make a huge deal of it, but also knowing that she wouldn't be able to do it herself because.... she had no idea how.

"Sure," he said nodding. He went over to his bedside table and pulled out the first aid kit that Flanna and Murder had used before. "C'mere," he said motioning her over to a table and chairs so he could get a better look.

She nodded and made her way to him, sitting down on one of the chairs he indicated. She held out both of her arms for him to look at, wincing at the gashes that he had made.

"Not too bad, coulda been worse," he said. He opened up the filing cabinet and pulled out what was acctually a bottle of water. He wet down a pice of cloth and used it to wipe off the blood around the gashes. "This might hurt a little, but no more than it did with I made 'em."

SlingShot winced but held her tongue, because he was right. No worse than when he made them.

Nick smiled a little as he cleaned her up. "There we go, good girl," he said comforting her. He wasn't trying to make her feel like she was less than him, or patronize her, he was just telling her that she was doing a good job keeping quiet. "Alright, now this will sting a little," he said. He pulled out a brown bottle this time and put some of the liquid on the cloth before he touched it to her skin to help keep off infection.

SlingShot bit down on her lip, so hard it bled. She twitched, almost pulling her arm away, then held still, waiting for him to finish.
