TW: abuse mention

Miguel was pracicing his punches while Johnny was looking at bills and paperwork. "You need to hit harder." Shiloh instructed. She grabbed his hand and tucked his thumb over his other fingers. "Like this or you'll break your hand." Miguel nods his head as he listened. Johnny walked out. "Do you two have any friends that want to learn karate? Oh what am I saying you don't have friends. Sorry." Johnny said. Shiloh casted a glare at him. "I have friends but we all fight well and they live in new york," She said sassily. Miguel turned to him. "Hey Sensei when am I gonna learn kicking? I saw this video on YouTube and this guy broke boards and it looked totally badass." Johnny nods. "Yeah, kicking is badss but you're not ready. Besides if I don't get more students in here I won't be able to teach you anything." Miguel shrugged his shoulders some. "You've thought about advertising right?" He asked. "Yeah duh, course." Johnny said with a unconvincing face. Shiloh rolled her eyes, a small smirk on her face as she shook her head at the man.

Miguel sat with Demetri, Shiloh and Eli as a teacher gave a lecture on cyber bullying. "I'm not going to name names but the other day and mother called me cause her son was crying about mean things kids posted online about his facial disformity." She said. The kids started whispering about Eli, he covered his lip and looked at the table. Shiloh reached up and grabbed his hand, pinning it to the table. "Don't hide your scars, they are strength." Shiloh said in a whisper as she looked over at Eli. He looked at the girl and nods his head some. "You know if you sick of being bullied, my karate dojo is looking for recruits." Miguel told him, leaning over. "Yeah right, you hear that Eli? You learn karate and your gonna kick some major ass." Demetri said, his voice thick with sarcasm.

"Demetri stop being such a asshole to him. He is capable of a lot more then what you will let him see. You are pathetic so you try to drag him down with you!" She snapped with anger in her eyes. The three boys looked at her for a bit. Demetri stumbling on what to say. Eli had a slight blush on his face, he did expect for her outburst to be defending him. "Miss Mincsar, would you like to see the principal?" The teacher asked, turning her eyes on her. Shiloh leaned back. "Of course not, not much to see." She said with a smile and a wink. The teacher glared at her. "This is your only warning." She said before going back to the lecture.

"I'm serious Demetri, my sensie is the real deal. I'm sure I could get you both discounts." Miguel said, leaning back in his chair, shaking his head at Shiloh. "As enticing as that sounds I think we'd rather spend our day play Crucible control  then getting punched in the face." Demetri replied. Shiloh rolled her eyes but held herself back from  snapping at him, Eli was capable of answering for himself but Demetri never gives him the chance to. The teacher started talking about the Halloween dance and acceptable costume ideas.

Johnny pulled up to the studio, the homeless lady he had holding the sign was using it to block the sun as she ate a burrito. He walked up to the doors. "Hey Sensei you told me to be here at 5:00 right?" Miguel asked as Johnny was unlocking the door. Shiloh standing beside him. She had to admit, though he was rough around the edges, she was starting to like Johnny. It was rare for her to trust anyone, but she respected him for his toughness and the way he handled fights. He chose fight over flight much like her.  "Yeah but today's lesson is cancelled." He replied. "What? Why?"Miguel asked. "Because I said so." Johnny said as he walked inside. Miguel followed him inside and to the office. "That's a very specific reason Mr. Lawrence." Shiloh said with a amused look on her face. "Wait Sensei I have something I want to show you." Johnny cracked open a beer. "I'm not in the mood." His back was to the younger boy. "But I think you'll like it." He said, setting up his laptop. "It's the Cobra kai wedpage. I made it in study hall. Click on the snake." It pulled up a sign in. "Huh? So that's what you were working on." She said in approval and slight awe. Miguel started listing ideas when his phone went off. "That's my mom, I'll call her back later." Johnny looked at him. "Was that just-" He started but Miguel cut him off "Ratt? Awesome right?" Johnny nods. "Yeah." Shiloh was impressed by Miguwl's new ring tone. It was a much needed improvement. Miguel looked up at him since he was sitting. "I went online and looked up Guns n Roses and went though a 80s rock  rabbit hole. That shit is dope." Johnny had a proud smile on his face. "All right, meet me at the high school at midnight, don't be late." Miguel stood up a confused look on his face. "W-what for?" He asked. "Well you wanted to learn to kick ass right? Well first you have to learn how to kick." Miguel started to smile when Johnny said that.

Miguel and Shiloh were walking together, she offered to take him on her bike but he thought that might be a little loud since they were going to the school so late. "Are you sure you're okay with this Miguel? I mean breaking into the school, that's breaking and entering. That's a crime." She said with a teasing smirk on her face. Miguel looked at her, his nerves clear on his face. "No I'm not, I don't like the idea of breaking the law. How are you so calm?" He asked her. She tilted her head smiling. "I smoked before I came, it calms the nerves plus in New York I broke the law daily." She said with a nod. Miguel stared at her. "You are out of your mind."
"Yeah pretty much." She said with a smirk on her lips as she started to pick it her pace.  Miguel shook his head as he followed, wondering what he got himself into by being friends with her.

Miguel, Shiloh and Johnny walked into the dark pool area at the high school. "What are we doing here Sensei? Are you sure it's okay?" Johnny nods. "Yeah my buddy's the night janitor." He replied. Miguel mumbled a okay. Shiloh leaned into Miguel, whispering to him. "Doubt it, illegal." She found it funny how the idea of breaking the law made him uneasy. He cast her as half hearted glare, he couldn't really be mad at her for teasing. Once they got to beside the pool Johnny asked to see their hands. Miguel and Shiloh raised their hands in front of them  and Johnny started to wrap a rope around their wrists. "What are you doing?" Miguel asked.

Panic had seized Shiloh, horribly memories flashing through her mind as her breathing started to pick up. Her eyes wide. She tried to block it out but she could hear him yelling,  feel the sharp hit to her ribs, the first time she got a bone broken. It happened over and over. Shiloh was nine when it first started, but she ran a few years later, going home only on occasion.

"Well, when you get into a fight your first instinct is to use your hands. Well you got to unlearn that and think with your legs." Miguel looked at him confused. "How do I think with my legs?" He asked. "You just uh, well, uh..." Johnny said, trailing off them shoving him in the pool. He went to push Shiloh but she quickly spun out of his reach and kicked Johnny into the pool. Her fear still having ah strong grip on her. Johnny came above the water, pulling himself out. "Okay I won't try that again.' He muttered,  Miguel was sinking to the bottom. "Use those legs kick yourself out." He said. Bubbles raised from Miguel's mouth. "Shit." Johnny cursed and knelt down lifting the boy's head out of the water. "I'm drowning." Miguel gasped. "Drowning is for wusses, okay? Use your legs," Johnny said, letting him go and him sinking again. "Help him!" Shiloh roared with rage. She tugged on the rope that still bound her wrists.   "Probably should have asked him if he knew how to swim." Johnny mumbled before grabbing his hair again and pulling him up. "Please not again I'm going to die." Miguel gasped out, trying to catch his breath. "Cobra kia never die. Say it." Miguel was still gasping but repeated it. "Cobra kia never die."
"Louder!" Johnny demanded. "Cobra kia never die!" Miguel yelled. "That's it." Johnny said as he let go of Miguel's hair, letting him go back under the water. He kept repeating "Come on." Under his breath. Miguel surfaced. "Yeah, keep kicking." Johnny said with a smile. Shiloh let out again relived sigh as she looked at him. "Hey! What the hell are you doing?" The security guard yelled. Johnny looked over. "Shit we got to go." He pulled Miguel up. "You aren't supposed to be here!" Miguel looked at him. "I thought you said you knew him!" "Of course not I lied." Johnny replied as they ran out of the building.

Once they were safe Johnny undid Miguel's wrists. "I'll see you at practice." He said as Miguel  started to undo Shiloh's rope. She seemed frantic to get it off, she rubbed the places it had been. "Thanks." She muttered as Johnny drove away. "No problem." Miguel told her. "How are you still dry?" He asked making her chuckle. "He tried to touch me so I kicked him into the pool." She said with a happy smile.

Miguel was kicking the boards like he did the days before but this time he kicked through all three of them. "Good job." Shiloh said with a nod of respect to him. Miguel flashed a smile to her. Shiloh glanced around the dojo, taking in everything though she already knew the place. It was something she did if bored or nervous.  Miguel was sitting on the ground, getting his socks and shoes on. "I wish I could show my mom what I did to those boards but if she knew where I am right now she'd kill me." Johnny was walking towards him from the back room.  He was staring down at a paper, a final notice. "Don't worry I'll make sure your death is humane." Shiloh promised him. "Ha ha." He said before looking over at Johnny.  "What's wrong with you?" Miguel asked him. "Nothing. Go get your costume on. I'm driving you to that dance and we are going to pick up more students." He told him. "Shit! The dance! I have to go!" Shiloh said as she rushed out and hopped on her motorcycle.

Miguel stood up and started to pull on his costume. "What the hell is that?" Johnny asked him. "It's my Halloween costume. My ya ya made it, it started off as Deadpool. Then I think spiderman and then I guess a generic superhero."  Johnny looked at him. "Yeah, a poor one. You're Poorman." Miguel sighed and looked down. "Yeah."
"I can't have you going out like that, we have a reputation to uphold." Johnny told him. Miguel looked up. "What do you suggest?"

It was the Halloween  dance. Miguel walked through the fogged entrance dressed like a skeleton, the same one the original Cobra Kai's wore. He walked towards Demetri and Eli. "Skeleton. Classic. Nice." Demetri said in approval. "Thanks. I like your sorcerer costume." Miguel said. "Sorcerer? Please. I'm a necromancer." Miguel looked at him in confusion. "What?"
"Have you not seen 'The Amulet'?" Miguel turned his attention to Eli. "So are you a regular doctor or-" He asked unsure. "I'm a plastic surgeon. I fix lips." Eli said not lowering the mask. Miguel nods slightly "Nice." The Dj grabbed the mic. "Alright yall. We about to switch it up." A beat similar to the one before was playing. Shiloh walked into the room, the boys eyes going to her.

"Hey." She greeted them simply, ignoring the looks she got. "Are you Sandy from grease?" Miguel asked with a smile. "Obviously, cool costume Miguel. You too Eli and Demetri." She said acknowledging the other two. Demetri nods, "Thanks." But Eli didn't say anything, nervous. She started towards the refreshment table, Kyler seeing her and taking his chance. He moved up beside her, his arm going around her waist. His fingers lightly brushing her skin. "Hey beautiful." He said in a low voice. A look of disgust crossed her face as she shoved him away. "Don't touch me." She snarled at him. He took a step towards her, about to say something when a teacher was walking near. He gave her a smile. "It's cool baby, I'll see you later." He told her, walking away.

When three boys walked over to the refreshment table, Shiloh was glare after Kyler. "You okay?" Eli asked her, final talking. 'I'm fine, just trying not to go jail for murdering a grade a asshole." She growled. Miguel foxed them some punch. "Here, have something to drink." He said hoping it would calm her down. She took the drink. "Thanks.,to bad there's nothing stronger." She sighed. Miguel and Eli chuckled but Demetri stared at her like she was mad but luckily that didn't last long.  "Are we ready yet? Let's just go and ask the dragon Queens to dance." Three girls were all dressed as the dragon queen from game of thrones. "Slow your roll. We got time." Demetri told his friend. A boy walked over and guided one to the dance floor, both of them smiling. "Shit we just lost one to doctor who." Miguel groaned. Shiloh starting laugh at that. She never thought she'd hear a sentence like that. Eli looked at them. "I got to go to the bathroom." Demetri agreed and the three started walking that way. Everyone's phone went off minutes later with a video of Aisha as a pig. Everyone started laughing. Shiloh rolled her eyes. "Assholes." She huffed before walking out into the hall.

Eli and Demetri ran out of the bathroom, making Shiloh come to attention. She didn't care if it was the boy's room she ran in. Miguel was the only one left with Kyler and his friends. They started making fun of him. Miguel moved forward, kicking Kyler in the chest and sending him to the floor. "Yeah!"Shiloh cheered as she moved in to the fight. Brucks went after her but she side stepped and punched him hard in the side of the head. She didn't notice Kyler come up behind her and restrain her arms. Soon his friends over powered Miguel and slammed him into the wall, the metal clinging. The dragged him into the room and closed the chain door and started to beat him. He cried out in pain when he was hit. Kyler's hold on Shiloh slacked some so she threw her head back, hitting him in the nose. Once free she turned on them, kicking Kyler in them stomach before elbowing one of his other friends in the throat, sending him gaming for air. Brucks grabbed ahold of her hair and slammed her head into the wall, making her vision swim before she was thrown to the ground. Kyler knelt down beside her, brushing some of her hair away from her face. "Next time don't be a bitch and we could have had fun instead." He told her roughly before walking out.  Johnny walked in and saw the two laying on the floor, his face falling. He went and picked up Miguel. "I'll be right back." He told her. She forced herself up, though her head protested. "I got it, I'm fine." She said in a hiss of pain. She left her bike at the school, getting into Johnny's car and falling asleep in the back seat.
