VIENNA WAS FINALLY home again. In her own house, her own room, her own clothes and most importantly of all, no Irene. Despite the fact that she stalked them to find them, she still didn't know where the Brand's lived, which Vienna was very grateful for. She didn't feel like filing a restraining order just yet.

Vienna finished tying her sneakers and carefully stood up, the world turned dizzy for just a second before it got back to her again. This time quicker than before. She tightened the wild and curly bun on the top of her head before grabbing her tote bag and heading out of the door. She was up early, eager to get to Miguel and Johnny. That was one, to help Miguel, and two, to learn karate.

Everyone in the Valley knew Vienna as the peacemaker, the one against all versions of violence. But when evil strikes, you need to be able to strike back. Or in her case, strike before evil can strike in the first place. And that's how she found herself jogging over to Miguel's place. She knocked on Johnny's door first as they planned to go to Miguel together.

"Hey, Ana, ready to learn the way of the fist?" Johnny asked her with a proud smirk.

"You mean ready to defend me in case my crazy aunt tries to kill me... again?" Vienna corrected and Johnny's cocky smirk fell.

"Yeah, whatever, let's just get your loverboy first," He grumbled while Vienna smirked this time and followed him to the apartment on the other side. 'Let's go, Speed Racer. We're gonna work those gimpy legs like a... rented mule," But when Johnny opened the door they were greeted by Miguel on a massage table and a man moving his legs.

"Oh," Vienna said, having no clue what was going on but knowing that she was very uncomfortable.

"Sorry. I thoughts you said 10:00 that you'd be alone." Johnny said.

"I'm sorry, my mom gets free physical therapy from work. And this was the only time Brayden was available." Miguel explained.

"Hello, Brayden," Vienna smiled politely but awkwardly.

"Mahalo," Brayden greeted back.

"We'd be done soon if you wanna wait." Miguel offered and Vienna and Johnny shared a look.

"Now, if you're feeling any pain, hermano, let me know," Brayden told Miguel.

"Still no feeling whatsoever." Miguel sighed as Vienna looked down.

"No worries. Positive thoughts, remember? You're doing great." Brayden smiled.

"At what? Letting you lift his leg?" Johnny snarked causing Vienna and Miguel to chuckle.

"Johnny, Brayden is a specialist in this field. He knows what he's doing." Carmen shot back at the man.

"Slow, deep breaths," Brayden said and he and Miguel both exhaled deeply. "Inhale joy and love."

"You gotta be shitting me?" Johnny exclaimed as Vienna slapped his arm.

"Johnny... can I talk to you for a minute?" Carmen asked, trying not to sound too angry.
