Third Person POV
Race takes a deep breath, before walking over to the guards of Brooklyn.
The four Brooklyn boys share concerned looks, before looking at him.
"Hey, Race..." Catch starts slowly. "Why are you here?" He asks.
Race takes a deep breath, fiddling with his cigar. "I figured I should let you guys know I'm alright." He whispers, keeping his eyes on the ground. "Since you insist I'm part of your borough."
Rock smiles slightly. "We're glad you're doing better." He tells him.
Race smiles, but it was slightly tense. "I'm alright. I'll be alright." He tells them.
"Spot and the others are down the dock, like usual." DD informs Race, pity obvious in his gaze.
Race nods.
"Come on," Switch starts. "I can take you to them." He tells him.
Race nods again.
Switch starts walking down the dock, Race following him.
"I don't know about you," DD starts, turning to face Rock and Catch. "But that doesn't seem alright." He mutters.
Catch and Rock nod in agreement.
"Hopefully Spot, Smokes, or someone will be able to help." Rock mutters, looking back over the area in front of the docks.
Race felt eyes on him as he walks down the Brooklyn dock.
"Hey, Race."
Dice and Hotshot walk up to him.
Race smiles slightly. "Hi." He whispers.
Dice looked concerned. "Are you okay?" They ask.
Race shrugs. "I'm alright and I'll be okay soon." He answers softly. "Knobs sat us all down and helped talk it out, so that helped a bit." He exclaims.
Dice smiles softly. "That's my boyfriend." They state.
Race nods.
Dice was slightly worried because Race didn't make the usual sarcastic 'I didn't think he was anyone else's boyfriend' comment.
"Why are you here?" Hotshot asks Race.
Race shrugs. "I figured you guys might be slightly worried since you seem to care for people in your borough- and I'm apparently part of your borough- so I came to tell you that I'm doing better." He explains.
Hotshot and Dice share smiles.
Hotshot pulls Race into a hug. "If you- or any of the Manhattan Newsies- need anything, tell us." He whispers.
Race nods, pulling away from him.
"Especially now that you're the leader." Hotshot adds.
