Hannah woke up to the smell of bacon. She enjoyed the smell. She got dressed and headed upstairs. She walked into the kitchen and saw Mr. Moskowitz cooking breakfast. Hawk was sitting at the kitchen bar, eating his breakfast.

"Good morning, Hannah." Mrs. Moskowitz greeted as she had the coffee pot in her hand. "Would you like some coffee?" She asked Hannah.

"Uh, sure." Hannah said as she sat next to Hawk. Mrs. Moskowitz filled up a cup of coffee and handed it to Hannah. "Thank you."

"You're not allergic to anything, are you doll?" Mr. Moskowitz asked the girl.

"Uh..." Hannah said as she looked over at Hawk.

Hawk didn't want Hannah to feel uncomfortable with his family. He set his fork down on his plate and swallowed his food. "She's only allergic to peanuts, Dad." Hawk spoke up for the girl. "Oh, and Basil."

"Well there is no peanuts nor basil in this breakfast." Mr. Moskowitz said as he put some eggs, bacon, and toast on a plate and passed it to Hannah. "Here you go, Love."

"Thank you." Hannah said. She ate her breakfast. This is the first real meal she's had in a while. She was living off of pops, lucky charms, takis. This was more than she's ever gotten. Hannah finished her plate and went to put it in the dishwasher.

"Oh, sweetheart, you don't have to do that." Mrs. Moskowitz told her. "I'll take it." She took the plate from Hannah. "You go get ready for karate. I'm sure your senseis have something fun to teach you guys about."

"Okay." Hannah said. Her and Hawk began to walk down near the stairs. "Why is your mom and dad acting so weird? Just because you guys took me in, doesn't mean I'm a five year old."

"I know." Hawk said. "When I told her about your situation she felt so bad. She just wants to make you feel better."

Hannah sighed. "I know." She made her way downstairs and grabbed her gi and everything. She brushes her teeth, and brushes her hair. She decided to put it up in a french braid for karate. Once she got done, she came back upstairs and saw Hawk waiting on her.

"You ready?" He asked.

"Yeah." Hannah smiled. Hawk tossed her the keys to his car. "No." Hannah said as she caught the keys. "I am not driving."

"Why not?" Hawk laughed. "I don't feel like driving."

"And you think I don't?"

"Take the keys and hush." Hawk walked outside and Hannah followed him. She got into the driver's seat and drove over to Cobra Kai.

Hannah and Hawk walked into the dojo. "You're driving sucks." Hawk told her. "You nearly took out the mailbox. You're not driving anymore."

"Good." Hannah chuckled.

Once they had gotten their gis on, Hannah and Hawk went over to Aisha and Miguel, who was sitting on the floor, listening to Mr. Kreese talk about his time in the army.

"You gotta understand the Mogadishu in the '90s was a hellhole." He said. "Warlords controlled whole swaths of the city. My team and I were charged with cleaning the place up."

"How many warlords did you kill?" Hawk asked.

"You keep track of every ant you stomp out?" He asked Hawk in return.

"Whoa." Aisha said, not believing it.

"Badass." Hawk said.

"They were outgunned, we were outmanned." Kreese said. "I tell you...Rwanda was no joke."
