Honor or Brutality {Cobra Kai}

|IX|

"You followed me." Was the very first thing that popped into Scout's head, as they all walk after Asher outside and into the parking lot, of the main one of their many hangouts, the Arcade at Golf N Stuff.

"I didn't want you getting hurt. You are impulsive as it is." At those words, Scout stopped dead in her tracks, and turned to look at him with a fiery glint of anger in her eyes. Her hand cracks across his face hard, and he flinched a little.

"Fuck you." She said and shakes her head at him, and she had swiped his motorcycle keys, as she walked over to it. "I'm totally sick of this shit. I am just too sick of it all. I refuse to watch a fight between two of the guys that I once considered to be two of my best friends." Asher noticeably flinched at that, as she kicked his motorcycle into motion, and drove off.

"Well, that must have hurt." Demetri said and Asher looked over at him in a half-threatening manner, as he was backing up quickly at the look.

Hawk was waiting with a bunch of Cobras behind him, including quite a few Serpents, who looked noticeably freaked out, at the sight of Josh and the silence that seemed to ripple out of Storm.

Asher walked forward and so did Hawk, as the Cobra Kai student threw the first punch and it was on.

Scout was stopped on a curbside almost back to Asher's apartment and she was stopping to think, as she felt a flash of guilt from yelling at him, her best friend, much earlier in the day.

She looked down at the motorcycle that she had stolen from him, and she felt pain and tears coming on, and she looked up at the big, horrible-looking apartment complex in front of her.

"If I could tell you, I would!"

"Where are you going?"

"You okay, Girl Scout?"

"Don't you think that I want to tell you?"

"Come on, Scout. I know about your family's history of secrets. I swear that I'll never keep secrets."

"You should just back off, man. Before you hurt her and I lose it."

"She is under my protection, the protection of the Serpents. She is, one of us and if you hurt her, I'll be in here for a lot longer than your life will last."

"Scout, I would never hurt you. I swore, that I wouldn't. I gave you my word, and I can't go back on it. If I want to be better than my parents, the possibly worst people in existence, the time is now, when I need to be serious."

"I'll always be there for you, kid. No matter what shit it is, that you have possibly gotten yourself into."

"I'll stand by you through hell."

Scout heard Asher's voice once again in her head, as she looked at the ruins of a apartment complex that he lives a good half of his life in. "What the hell was I thinking?"

She began to swear under her breath quietly, and, she pulled on her helmet and kickstarted the motorcycle, drivin back towards Golf N Stuff with worry in her eyes, that was conveniently put out of her mind and out of sight, since she had a helmet on.

She found a disaster scene, with Josh calling 9-1-1 and Storm was holdin' up a couple of brutally beaten Miyagi-Do students.

"What happened?" She asked, jumping off of the bike and racing forward to talk to Josh, who had a phone to his ear and was trying to hold up Demetri as well. "Where is Asher?" She asked and he looked at her with fury and pain in his eyes and she felt her veins freezing like ice, out of worry.

She pushed past him quickly and found Asher, lying face-down on the ground. "Shit." She whispered and she crouched next to him, as he groaned a bit.

"Scout?" He asked hoarsely and she looked over to where his eyes were at the moment, and her heart, it nearly stopped at the sight. Demetri was never the crybaby, but he had a broken arm.

"Who the fuck did this?" She asked and he looked at her, spitting blood out of his mouth and grimacing in the expression of someone in agonizing pain.

"We were doing fine... we were winning the fight. Until Tory showed up with a couple of goons behind her and it was all over. The Cobras that we had taken out, they got up and got into it twice as hard. We didn't have a chance, especially since Sam froze up and couldn't move." Asher said and he groaned, stubbornly managin' to push himself off of the floor with his fists to the point of agony.

"Who broke Demetri's arm?? Was it Tory?" She asked and Asher looked at her with a shake of his head. "No, like it wasn't Tory? Then who?!" She snaps and Asher shakes his head.

"If I tell you who, your actions could end up with you thrown right back in Juvie." He said and she looked over at Demetri, who was looking over at her.

"Who?" She asked again and Asher sighed, tracing a simple hawk on the ground with his finger, as Scout's eyes were burnin' with fury and clear rage, at his wordless actions.

"Scout, wait!" Asher called out, but Scout was already storming over to the motorcycle, and he looked rather infuriated with himself and she drove off with fiery rage in her eyes. "Shit. I hope that you're ready for it, Hawk."
