We've Got You

Chapter One

We've Got You

First Cobra Kai fic so I don't know if this will be any good, but I wanted to write my take on Season 6 Episode 5's events.

Tory had just left the doctor's office with the new dosage of meds for her mom and was walking to her car when she felt like someone was following her. She moved her leg to kick at whoever was following her, but the person caught her leg.

"Glad to see you're still training," Kreese said, a smirk on his face.

"What are you doing here? Aren't the police looking for you?" Tory asked, pulling her leg out of his grasp, a shocked look on her face.

"Oh, I'm not that easy to catch. I just came to check up on my champion." Kreese told her. "How are you holding up?"

"Oh, so now you care?" Tory asked rhetorically. "Last time I saw you, I needed your help. And you know what you said to me? "The best thing you can do right now is look after yourself." I went back for you! You left me to deal with Silver and his psycho-bitch sidekick alone!" Tory told him, anger flowing through her.

"You have every right to be angry. But I could not involve you in my plan to liberate myself. I know it seemed cold. But I was only trying to protect you. And now that I'm out, we have an opportunity to dominate"

"No. There is no "we." Tory told Kreese. There was a pause and Kreese noticed the Miyagi-Do Karate Gi.

"Oh, I see now. You know, I never thought I'd see the day when the Queen Cobra would join the enemy." Tory tried not to scoff at those words.

"They're my friends," Tory told Kreese.

"Darling don't be naïve," Kreese started. "They'll invite you in, but you'll never belong there. When push comes to shove, they'll always figure out a reason to keep you second fiddle to LaRusso's kid." Kreese told her and while Tory didn't want to believe him, deep down she knew he was right.

"Go crawl back under your rock. I may not be calling the police, but if my sensei's see you, they will." Tory told Kreese, wanting to get away from him.

"I am your sensei, and you are my champion," Kreese said, and Tory scoffed.

"I may be a champion, but I'm not yours," Tory said walking away from Kreese.

Tory's house

It was later in the day, after the training session when Tory got home.

"Well, thanks, Mrs. Parton," Tory said into her phone coming through the door. "Are you sure it's okay for Brandon to stay both nights?" pause "You're the best. Please make sure he brushes his teeth." Tory laughs and hangs up. She furrows her eyebrows and sniffs, smelling something coming from the stove.

"Mom, I'm home. Dr. Judith lowered all your prescriptions. She said you're doing so much better." Tory said. She tried to open her mother's pill jar but ended up spilling the pills. She got on the floor to pick them up when she looked ahead and saw her mother was unmoving on the floor.

"No. Mom." Tory said and rushed over to her mom. "Mom." Tory pleaded and began to shake her mother. "Mom. Mom! Mom! Mom!" Tory shook her some more, trying to wake her up. "Mom, wake up! Mom, please wake up. Wake up, Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!" Tory paused, unable to hold herself together, she began to cry. "Mom!"

At the hospital

Tory was sitting on a hospital chair, in her head, numb. She couldn't believe this was happening.
