𝑴𝑰𝑮𝑼𝑬𝑳 and Aisha exchanged worried glances as they watched Oakley walk out of the school, the tension still high from her earlier outburst. Both of them weren't sure if she was truly calmed down, but they knew better than to press her when she was like this.

When Oakley reached them, she straightened up, her demeanor already shifting. "You guys ready to go?" she asked, walking toward her friends.

Aisha raised an eyebrow, glancing at Miguel. "Ready to go where?"

"Karate," Oakley answered, her voice slow but certain, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Miguel looked at her in disbelief. "W-Wait, you're going to the dojo?" he asked, tilting his head.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I?" Oakley shot him a look, but it wasn't hostile—just a little too tired to entertain the question.

Aisha hesitated. "But you kind of finished the day... mad," she pointed out.

Oakley scoffed, rolling her eyes. "I'm not going to rip anyone's arm off, Aisha." She opened the car door and slid inside.

Miguel still seemed uneasy. "Lee—" he started, but Oakley interrupted.

"I'm fine. And if I get aggressive—which I won't—just act like you're Black Widow, and I'm the Hulk." She flashed a small, teasing smile before buckling her seatbelt.

Aisha and Miguel exchanged a brief look before getting into the car, Miguel was still clearly unsure but willing to trust her.

Oakley started the car, pulling away from the school. "Have more faith in me," she added, glancing at them as the engine hummed to life.

"I never lash out at people who don't deserve it."
