Strike Hard: Miguel Diaz x Female!Reader

Chapter 42- A Found Medal and a Fired Kreese

Johnny took Y/N to the hospital to get checked out. Turns out she had a sprained wrist and a swollen nose. She had to wear a small cast for her wrist, just to keep it elevated for a few days. She wasn't allowed to do karate for a few days though.

Y/N decided to go visit Miyagi Do today since she didn't have a chance to go there since the incident. Plus she missed Robby and the LaRusso's. She pedaled to the dojo and parked her bike. As she walked into the house she found Robby and Sam...kissing?

"Woah! When did this happen?" She questioned, making them jump apart. "Uh-we-it's not-" Robby stammered struggling for the right words. Y/N laughed. "I'm not going to tell anyone. I'm happy for you guys." Y/N reassured with a smile. Sam pulled Y/N into a tight hug making the girl wince in pain. "Are you ok?" Sam asked. "Yeah, it's just my wrist."

Robby and Sam looked at her wrist, noticing the cast. "What happened?" Robby asked. Before YY/N respond, Demetri called from outside. "Hey, guys check it out." The three of them jogged out of the house to find Demetri bent over some rocks, picking something up. It was the Medal of Honor. Wait how did it get there? Miguel was the one who had it.

"Look what I found. It was just sitting in these rocks." Demetri stated, holding up the medal. "Is that Mr. Miyagi's medal of honor? That's crazy. We looked all over for this." Sam said. "Huh. Must have been here the whole time." Robby chuckled. Y/N glanced at him. He knew something. 

Y/N left soon after that, promising herself to talk to Robby. He was being suspicious about the Medal of Honor and Y/N wanted to find out. She pulled up to Cobra Kai and hopped off her bike before walking into the dojo where everyone was stretching.

She found Tory and Miguel and walked over to them. "Hey, guys." She greeted. The two said hi back. "How's the wrist?" Tory asked. "Eh doesn't hurt too bad. Just small twinges here and there." Y/N replied with a shrug. "Well, Tory was telling me that there's an 80's night at the roller rink on Friday. We're gonna have a date but you should go." Miguel stated. "I don't want to intrude. Plus I don't know if I should skate with my hurt wrist, I could fall."

"You won't be intruding. I promise. Bring Aisha."

"Fine, I'll go. But I might not skate much."

"Yay!"

Tory clenched her jaw in annoyance. It was supposed to be a date and he invited Y/N? And Y/N said yes? Seriously? That's what she gets for trying to get with someone who already likes someone else.

"Everybody fall in!" Johnny instructed, walking out of his office. Everyone got into their spots while Y/N moved off to the side to watch. As she was walking, she accidentally bumped into Hawk. "Sorry." She mumbled, trying to brush past him. Hawk went and grabbed her wrist, making her hiss in pain. He quickly let go. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to apologize for yesterday. We're Cobra Kai for life, right?" He asked. "Right..." She replied. Hawk smiled at her and held his fist up for a fist bump. Y/N fist-bumped him before walking off to the side. While it was nice that he apologized, she couldn't forgive him yet.

"Today, we'll be learning one of the most important lessons a Cobra Kai could ever know," Johnny stated, walking back and forth. "Where's Sensei Kreese?" Hawk asked. "Yeah. Shouldn't we wait for the sensei emeritus before we get going?" Stingray questioned. "Mr. Kreese will no longer be joining us," Johnny replied. All the kids exchanged confused looks while Y/N felt herself grin. Good riddance.

"I made a promise when I became your sensei. To always look out for your best interests. Despite how hard this may be for all of us, he didn't have our best interests at heart. John Kreese may have founded Cobra Kai, but he no longer represents what this dojo stands for. His Cobra Kai was old and outdated. He refused to move forward. What happens when we do that, Mr. Diaz?" Johnny asked, glancing at Miguel. "You get stuck like cement." He replied, looking down. "Exactly. To be a great fighter, you gotta learn to adapt."

Johnny turned towards the wall where the slogan was written. "This creed on the wall...Follow it to the letter, it'll make you strong. It'll make you formidable. It will also make you an asshole. 'Cause, that's just black paint on a white wall. But life's not black and white. More often than not, it's gray. And it's in those gray areas where Johnny Lawrence's Cobra Kai...sometimes shows mercy. Doesn't mean you can't be badass. It's still a requirement. But you have to learn to think, not just with your guy...or your fists...but to really use this." Johnny said, pointing to his head. Y/N smiled at his speech. He definitely changed from the man she met so many months ago. "Which leads me to today's lesson."

Johnny walked over to the bench Y/N was on and picked up a piece of wood. He brought it against his head, breaking it in half making the kids gasp in surprise. "Headbutting. Grab a partner." He instructed. The kids all went to grab partners while Johnny walked off to his office, Y/N behind him.

"That was quite the speech." She said, sitting in a chair and propping her feet on his desk. "Well, I meant every word of it." He replied. "I know you did. That's why I enjoyed it." She reassured with a smile. Miguel walked into the office with a somewhat gloomy expression. "Sensei?" He questioned, stepping in. "Just tuck in your chin and aim for the nose with the crown of your head. It's not that hard." Johnny explained. "No, it's not about headbutting. I think I got that down. It's about Sensei Kreese.

"What about him?"

"I know he's your friend, so if you wanna talk..."

"You don't have to worry about me. Besides, you should be focused on that girlfriend of yours. "

Y/N rolled her eyes. "You know about that?" Miguel questioned. "I'm not blind. Just don't get too distracted. You can play hide the plantain on your own time. But in class I need you focused." He replied making Y/N snort. Hide the plantain, really?  "Yes sensei," Miguel responded with a chuckle. "Hold on, what about you? Do you have any..." Y/N trailed off, looking at Johnny. "Don't worry about me all right? I do just fine." Johnny dismissed. Y/N raised an eyebrow, unconvinced. 

"If you wanted to, we could set you up on an app." Y/N offered, gesturing between herself and Miguel. "That's how my mom found her boyfriend," Miguel added. "Yeah, how's that going?" Johnny asked curiously. Y/N smirked. Someone's got the hots for Carmen.

"It's going well. She's had some pretty bad luck with guys, so it's nice to see her happy." Miguel answered with a smile. "That's good. I'm glad to hear that." Johny mumbled through gritted teeth. Oh yeah, he definitely had a thing for Carmen. "So, uh... All right, what's the deal with this app thing?" Miguel and Y/N exchanged a grin. "You'll see."
