Natasha cringed as she looks down, seeing Michael using an Alcohol Pad to clean her wounds. Michael has gotten her consent to touch her body, despite some hesitation, as she can't move her arms a lot due to the pain getting worse for her.

Michael was being as careful as possible, cleaning the left over blood while also stopping more from dripping out. Once he does so, he reseal them with bandages and some cream for the bruises that are noticeable and to help close of open wounds.

Michael: Looks like you went through more than a fall. Did you fight those agents and not tended to your wounds?

Natasha: ...

Michael: ...you okay?

Natasha: ...

Michael: Look, you're not gonna just get yourself healed by just staying there, silent. You gotta talk once in a while, to try to not focus on the pain.

Natasha: ...Yes. I fought them. I wasn't there to fight, so I tried to make it fast and be done, but they were able be even with me.

Michael: I see. That explains the bruises on parts of your body. *finishes as he sighs*

Natasha: Where did you learn this?

Michael: I had a Medical Class in college. It gave me some tips about having the skills to treat wounds of others and yourself's. There. Try not to move much until the wounds heal. I'll get you some painkillers for the pain.

Natasha: Okay.

Michael picks up the used medical stuff and walks off. Nat watches him as she looks around the house. Soon, Michael came back with some pain medication and a bottle of water.

Michael: Here.

Natasha said nothing as she took the pain meds and drank them down. She sighed as she finishes the water.

Michael: You hungry?

Natasha: Not right now.

Michael: Okay. *sits down* Just tell me when you're feeling hungry. I'll get you something to eat. Here or take out. Anyway you want. Okay?

Natasha: ...Why are you being so kind to me?

Michael: Why do you ask?

Natasha: I attacked you and nearly choked you out. Yet, you treated my injuries, let me stay here, and even gave me something to eat. Why?

Michael: Well, yeah. You see, I understand you suddenly attacking me as I would be too if I'm at some strangers houses all weak and vulnerable. But, I want to help those in need of help and that's why I brought you here. To help. That's about it. *chuckles*

Natasha was astonished by this young man's desire to help and that he understood her reaction. The fact he continued to help her even after she attacked him proves his point. Is this man crazy or is he that kind? Maybe both?
