Exposed (Cobra Kai fanfiction)

Chapter 5

At Cobra Kai's flagship dojo, a training session was underway.

Stingray walked into the dojo. His presence brought everyone to a halt.

"There he is. The man himself. An exemplar of everything Cobra Kai stands for. Loyalty. Discipline. Inner strength. After former Sensei Kreese's cowardly attack, most people would have crawled into a hole to hide. Not Stingray. He stood tall. Demanded justice. That's Cobra Kai. Let's give him the welcome he deserves." Terry told the Cobra Kai students.

The Cobra Kai students cheered for Stingray.

Terry looked at Tory. "Nichols, take over class. I need a word with my guy here."

Tory stood in front of her fellow students.

Terry and Stingray walked into the office.

"How's the new place? Settling in?" Terry asked.

"Oh, yeah. Uh...Yes, Sensei. Thank you. Nobody ever rented me an apartment before. I feel like a kept woman." Stingray said.

A kept woman was a woman who did not work but was instead given money and a place to live by the person she was having a sexual relationship with.

Terry chuckled. "Not at all. I want my loyal soldier living in style. It's the least I could do in light of your sacrifice."

"Yeah." Stingray said.

"And I tend to do more than the least. I've got a little surprise for you." Terry said.

Stingray followed Terry to the parking lot and saw Johnny's 2009 Dodge Challenger.

"Oh, whoa. Heavy! Sensei Lawrence, my ex-sensei, used to have one just like it." Stingray said.

"This was Sensei Lawrence's. My car guy found it at an impound auction. And now it's yours. Check the trunk." Terry told Stingray.

Stingray opened the trunk and found his very own Cobra Kai gi.

Stingray chuckled. "Aw! That's...Dude, that's so cool."

Miguel arrived at Olive Garden. His eyes landed on Robby, who was sitting next to Sarah.

"Let me guess. Your dad invited you." Miguel said.

"Yep." Robby said.

"He didn't tell you I was coming?" Miguel asked.

"Nope." Robby said.

Miguel and Robby tried to leave, but Johnny stopped them.

"Hey, hey. Where are you going? Sit down. Hear me out."

Robby returned to his seat.

Miguel sat across from Robby.

Johnny sat next to Miguel.

"All right, yeah, I lied to get you here. After the water park, I knew you wouldn't come willingly. I know you're in bitchy moods 'cause you broke up with your girlfriends. Since the Mexico thing felt like a small step in the right direction, I figured it might help if we went on another trip." Johnny said.

"A trip? To a mall in Chatsworth?" Robby deadpanned.

A waiter arrived.

"Your body might be at a mall, my friend, but your taste buds are about to go on a tour of the old country." The waiter said.

The waiter gestured to Johnny. "This guy knows what I'm talking about."

"Yes, I do." Johnny said.

The waiter spoke enthusiastically. "It doesn't matter where we go. The birthplace of culinary delight awaits. You want an Alfredo? Boom! We're in Rome. Ravioli? Tuscany it is. We've got to come back here for the chocolate lasagna, 'cause like baseball and Big Gulps, that's only in America."
