Hawk, Demetri, Robby and Miguel

"Poor child," purred four very familiar voices, causing Anthony to slowly raise his head up from his arms. For he instantly recognized the owners to whom the voices belonged: Miguel Diaz, Robby Keene, Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz, and — last, but definitely not least — Eli's best friend and Binary Brother Demetri Alexopoulos.

Eli still had the red Mohawk from his time as a student of Cobra Kai before he saw the ruthless individual he'd become and had been on the wrong side the whole time, and then switched sides during the LaRusso house fight, while also choosing Eagle Fang in the process.

Besides deciding he'd had it with being the bully he strongly disliked, Eli also had a crisis of conscience when he realized Miguel and his former sensei Johnny Lawrence had been right, and Kreese's methods were wrong and unhealthy; Miguel was also right about how the other Cobras weren't really Hawk's friends at all. 

Plus, Hawk's desire of not wanting to be on Cobra Kai with Kyler Park, one of his two biggest enemies (with Robby having formerly been the other one until after he and Hawk also made amends) prompted him to turn against Cobra Kai and go over to the side of Eagle Fang. He knew something in him had snapped and it was time for him to switch sides right then and there.

In that moment, when he heard Cobra Kai student Doug Rickenberger call for him to take a "free shot" at Demetri, Hawk made up his mind; running over to where Demetri was, he performed the side kick on the one Cobra with dreadlocks (using Demetri's shoulder as leverage) before grabbing a shocked Doug around the neck and then finally throwing him onto the glass table. 

Turning to a puzzled Demetri, Hawk then sincerely apologized for all the bullying he'd put him through; when he asked if Demetri wanted to help him win "this thing," a grin crossed Demetri's face when he saw it was really Eli talking, as he'd come to his senses, and he nodded. Hawk then let a smile of relief cross his own face; it was as though a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

To Anthony's surprise, Miguel was between his legs, Robby was on his left and Hawk was up against the headboard (which made it so that Anthony had ended up with his head face-up in Hawk's lap). Finally, Demetri was sitting on Hawk's right side and smiling down at Anthony.

"Poor sweet child," purred Hawk, his blue eyes looking down into Anthony's deep brown ones.
