Season 1, Episode 1

"Ace Degenerate"

"So let me get this straight some assholes poured pepto on you just because they couldn't buy alcohol and then our weird neighbor just showed up did some crazy ass karate and then got arrested" Catalina said trying to wrap her head around all the information her brother just gave her. Miguel nodded excitedly.

"Dude that's sick!" Cat said making Miguel getting even more hyped up.

"I'm going to thank him tomorrow, thats if he's not in jail anymore, and then ask if he could teach me some moves, Cat you should totally come with. We could be badass karate twins." Cat was now the one nodding excitedly with her brother, I mean it sounded fun.

♡♡♡

The two woke up early in the morning hoping to catch their neighbor before he got to his aprtment. As they waited outside Cat was reading the issue of Dungeon Lord and texting the "Binary Bros + Cat" group chat with live reactions as they had stayed up all night reading the entire thing together.

Right as Cat was about to finish she heard the sound of a car pulling up and it was the exact one that their neighbor drove off in the day before. Miguel also noticed and immediately got up to walk up to his car Cat marked her spot in the book and followed him.

"I just wanted to say thanks for last night" said Miguel, the neighbor getting out of his car.

"Yeah well you said it," the guy responded clearly not wanting to talk. The twins didn't particularly care so they continued to follow him.

"So my brother told me you beat the shit out of those kids, was it Tae Kwon Do or jujitsu or MMA or karate or something?" The girl questioned, becuase through the descrption her brother gave her it sounded like a mix of everything.

"It's karate. Old-School Karate."

The twins looked at each other in excitement. They were totally going to become cool karate twins.

"Do you think you could teach us?" Miguel asked.

"What? No." Miguel scoffed, Cat let out a groan of frustration.

"Oh come on, when school starts those guys will make my life miserable."

"And mine too by association," Cat added.

"Not my problem."

"Look if I just knew a little bit of what you knew, then I would be..." Miguel was interuppted.

"Forget it. I don't do karate anymore, all right? Besides I need a job."

"Well you could open up a karate school." Miguel suggested hoping that wold work. "Karate Dojo, actually," Cat corrected. The two looked at her, Miguel in shock and the older man in content, giving her a slight nod.

"Okay so open up you own dojo," Miguel said.

"Look im not getting into this with you two, i'm not even sure I should be around kids" said the man. "That does not sound right," Cat mumbled.

"Alright you want my advice, stop being so annoying, both of you. Then maybe you wouldn't get your ass kicked."

"I would like to put on record that I did not have my ass kicked yet so this doesn't apply to me" said Cat as the man walked away.

"Yeah well you're still annoying he responded before he went out of sight. "Asshole" she whispered, Miguel looking at her in defeat.

"It's OK bro, we don't need karate, we can still be badass twins without it," She said, getting a smile from Miguel as they both went inside their apartment.

♡♡♡

Days went by, and although they did not get a chance to hang out again, Catalina had been texting Demetri and Eli non-stop. She still hasn't worked up the courage to text Eli separately but she is working on that.

She was laying on her bottom bunk and saw Miguel jump down from his top bunk.

"Hey can you help me through out the trash I have boxes I need to break down and put in the recycle." The girl nodded and got up grabbing the trash and heading to the cans waiting for Miguel. As he put the boxes in the recycle the two turned around and stopped in their tracks as their neighbor stood in front of them

"Are you both sure you're ready? cause once you go down this path, theres no turning back," he said staring them both down.

"Youre going to be our karate teacher?" Miguel asked

"No. I'm going to be your sensei?" Miguel and Cat smiled wide at the man in front of them. Cat could not wait to be badass.
