"So... are we still learning the Wheel technique? Or is it the 'Hug technique' day now?" Hawk asked, a bit harshly and Scout narrowed her eyes slightly at him, before looking over to her dad and he nodded slightly.

"I'll take over for today, but one of these days, Scout you are goin' to be teaching." Daniel said as Scout looked over at him.

"Whatever you say." She said and grabbed her messenger bag with her extra clothes in it, as she swung it up and over her shoulder, only to find that she wasn't holding it anymore.

"Come on kid. Join us and help teach them the Wheel technique. So who doesn't have a partner yet?" It was Daniel asking as Hawk raised his hand slightly and Daniel looked over at Scout, who nodded slightly.

"All right then. Line up everyone for the Wheel Technique." Scout stated as she stood in front of the class, and the two Senseis looked at each other, and she quietly inhaled with a small sigh.

"The Wheel technique, it is something that many of you have either seen used or have been able to use. Before I taught Asher and Scout this technique, I showed it to Josh and Silver. Those two are in town, if you wanted to see it done in a professional setting. But, for now, it is up to Scout. And Hawk." Daniel said and Scout nodded slightly at his words. "Into the water and onto the deck." He suggested as Scout left her hoodie on the side and she got into the water without protest, as Hawk followed.

"On three, up onto the platform. You ready?" Scout asked and Hawk's eyes flashed slightly, before he nodded and they both managed to climb, but really it was more like scrambling up quickly onto the deck in the water.

"Nicely done. Now, catch your balance and move slowly." Daniel advised and Scout caught her balance as she shut her eyes. She steadied her stance and when she opened them up again, Hawk was sort of steadied. "All right. Start the kata. Follow Scout's pace, she'll teach you. If you fall in the water, don't worry about it." He called and Hawk looked a little bit like he was gonna be sick.

"Hey, take it easy." Scout murmured and she silently raised her hands up above her head and he did the same, as he followed her like a sort of robot made to copy. "Hands down, break up in a circle." She said and Hawk did so, as they felt the deck shifting once again under their feet. "Fists on your hips." She pointed out and they settled into their stances. "You ready?"

"Come on Scouty, you aren't getting soft on me are you?" Hawk asked as Scout rolled her eyes a bit, but there was a smile on her face.

"Challenge accepted then. Forward punch." Scout stated and she punched and he followed, and the deck was just spinning under their feet.

"Block to middle." She said and they did it at the same time.

"Punch."

"Block."

"Now, reach back over your left shoulder." Scout advised and he was nodding slightly, as she reached back and they both moved, but toppled at the kick.

They crashed into the water and Scout's eyes flashed slightly, as she shook her head and got back over to the deck, as she climbed back up and Hawk did the same. "How did you and Asher do it?" He asked and she looked at him, as she was swiftly shaking her head at him.

"Now isn't the time." Scout's tone of voice was sharp and Hawk sensed the unspoken pain and he nodded slightly in understanding. "Ready position." It was a focused tone and he nodded, as they started the kata again.

"Punch"
"Punch"

"Middle block."
"Middle block."

"Punch"
"Punch"

"Middle block."
"Middle block."

"Hands back, left turn."

They did swiftly and then, they were kicking out at the airspace in front of them. They managed to catch balance in the blocks and they spun, falling off of the deck again.

Back up and on the 7th repetition doing the kata, they had it and Scout chuckled, as they bowed to each other and then they managed to shuffle to face Daniel and Johnny, whose eyes were still skeptical. They bowed and Daniel led the clapping, as Scout was smiling and she fist-bumped Hawk with a small smile.

"You're not a terrible teacher, you know." Hawk pointed out as Scout was drying her hair off with a towel and she nodded slightly at him, as she shrugged.

"You can listen. Which is good and it really bodes well for the rest of us in Miyagi-Do, Eagle Fang as well." She pointed out as she cracked her neck a little. "What made you switch sides?"

"I knew you were gonna ask me that sooner or later. Frankly, I expected it to be sooner." Hawk pointed out and she looked at him. "It was when Kyler joined Cobra Kai, that I started having doubts. But it really sunk in, when I saw how hard you were fighting for your home." Hawk murmured and he looked at her, as she drank her water bottle.

"It is good to have you back, Eli." She murmured and he was smiling a little bit as she was leaning against the wall with a small smile. "It really is good to have you back." She didn't seem at all sarcastic about it, which was weird as she had been ready to kill him a few short weeks ago.
