Getting back home and having to deal with her mother yelling at her for joining karate without telling her, and not being with her brother when he got hurt, was as emotionally draining as it sounds. Miguel was recovering, the only injuries seemed to be bruises and cuts, which made Cat unable to look at him for too long without feeling guilty, because their mother was right about one thing, she should've been there.
The guilt ate away at the girl as she brought the breakfast that her mom made them over to her brother who was sitting on the couch, their mother already sitting their couch with him giving him a pack of ice. Miguel mumbled thanks to both of them, the girl heading to their shared room to finish getting ready. As the girl was putting her hair into two braids she heard her mother yell, "No more karate!" The girl winced at her mother's tone, she heard more muffled talks, before it was silent. There was a knock on the door, and Cat shouted "come in," expecting to see her mother, was instead met with her brother who had a solemn look on his face.
"So no more karate?" The girl questioned and the boy just flopped on the lower bunk in the bed. "Can you just finish getting ready so we can talk to sensei before school starts," Miguel said annoyed. "I'm ready. Let's just go." Finishing her hair and grabbing her book-bag, heading out to the door and to the courtyard of their apartment building. The two sat on the large potted plant as they waited for the older man.
After a couple minutes the two heard his door, Miguel immediately got up the girl following. "Hey sensei, our mom says that we cant train with you anymore, but maybe if we went to the dojo--" Miguel got interrupted by the man. "You don't get it kid, there is no dojo. Im closing it up, it's over."
"Wait that's not fair, we still have so much to learn." said Catalina
"What about me.. i need you," Miguel added.
"Sorry kids. I gotta go." The man said walking away, the two teens looked at each other in sadness. Cat saw how defeated Miguel was, and patted him on the shoulder. "C'mon Miggy, we can't be late to school."

Cat, Eli, Miguel, and Demetri had decided to eat their lunch and get work done in the library as they didn't want anymore run-ins with Kyler and his friends. Miguel was still moping about not having any more karate, and while the girl was also sad about that she was also on a mission to not look at Eli as she was still embarrassed about the rejection at the dance.
"So that's it? No more karate?" Demetri questioned Miguel. "I guess so," her brother replied.
"It's probably for the best. It was starting to boost your confidence," Demetri said, making Miguel and Cat confused. "Isn't that a good thing?" questioned Miguel. "Yeah that's definitely a good thing," Cat added.
"No," Demetri quickly disagreed, "what has confidence ever gotten anybody except for a black eye and their backpacks thrown in the trash?"
"Well I thought it was kinda cool how you stood up to Kyler," Eli spoke up, why'd this boy have to be so cute, Cat thought as she finally looked at him, the boy seemed to have noticed she was looking because he looked right back at her and smiled, she gave one back before Demetri said "are you insane?"
"What the fuck?" Cat mumbled at Demetri's outburst.
"Let me ask you. What is the best superpower to have?"
"Super strength." "Oh telekinesis." Both the twins answered, "Wrong," Demetri said quickly.
"Invisibility, a close second would be super speed to run away fast." Right as the boy finished talking Kyler came up from behind Eli, who was sitting across from Cat. "Run away from who?" The table let out a groan in unison, before they all started to quickly pack up their things.
"We were just leaving," Miguel said, but before they could get far Kyler grabbed Eli bu the neck.
"Hey, where you going? Oh, look at this freak," Kyler said grabbing Eli by the jaw now, "Oh shit! What kind of girl would ever kiss this shit?"
Cat came up from behind Eli, "Who says a girl hasn't already?" she said. Kyler looked over at the girl confused. "No way you kissed this freak?" The girl smirked at the boy. "Why, you jealous Kyler, sounds like you wanna give him a kiss." Kyler looked at the girl in disgust, let go of Kyler and stepped up to the girl.
"Leave her alone Kyler," Miguel spoke up before Kyler could get too close to the girl, this redirected the bully's path to him.
"What'd you say? You haven't had enough, 'Rhea?" Kyler said "Yeah, get the hell out of here man." He said pushing Miguel.
The girl grabbed Eli's hand and walked quickly out of the library, right as the bell rang indicating that their next period was about to start. Before the girl could go far, she felt Eli's hand squeeze her's tighter. The girl looked at him, "Thanks for standing up for me," he said sincerely.
"I'll always stand up for you Eli, and to be fair I would be honored to kiss you," the girl said before letting go of his hand and walking in the opposite direction to her class tucking stands of hair behind both her ears. If she turned around she would see Eli still staring at her with a dazy look on his face, Miguel patted him on the back with a laugh, "Come on Romeo, we got a class to get to."

The next day Miguel and Cat sat at their kitchen table with their mom and yaya eating breakfast. Their yaya nudged their mother and gave her a look. Their mom cleared her throat getting the twins attention.
"I heard what you had to sat Miggy, and after sleeping on it, I guess it's fine if you both decided you wanted to train karate again"
The twins were in shock, jaws dropped at the looked at their mom and then at each other, before cheering. Cat got up and walked around the table hugging her mom, Miguel following suit and including their yaya in the hug. "Thank you mama," Miguel whispered to her. Their mom held them in her arms and kissed their foreheads.
"Ok now get ready and go to your dojo, I think you sensei is waiting for you." The twins didn't waste a second before heading out the door.
Once they got to the dojo, sensei lawrence walked out the office.
"Our mom said we can train again, that is if we still have the dojo." Miguel said.
"We do for now," he responded, "but I need to know, are you both ready to take things to the next level?"
The two nodded happily, "yes, sensei."
"You got your ass kicked because you didn't have an defense, so I'm going to teach you the best defense that you guys can know. And the best defense... Hai!" Their sensei punched, "is more offense. Both twins smirked at the answer, ready for the next level.
