Summary
'"C’mon LaRusso, we gotta keep moving!”
Daniel struggled to follow the instruction; his knee begged agonisingly for relief and he begged it to just shut up. He risked a glance over his shoulder. The men were closing in, gun barrels dripping in the wet. The hand around his arm yanked painfully, tilting Daniel’s world around him.
His feet left the ground as he toppled forward. His stomach swooped unpleasantly as they kept going. Daniel’s wide brown eyes met the terrified blues of Johnny Lawrence as they tumbled over the edge of a cliff together. Shit.'
It’s autumn, 1986, and Daniel LaRusso has a problem.
Mr. Miyagi’s Little Trees is just not making enough money. Sure, things are going pretty great on the surface, but the bills are piling up, and Daniel has to do something to fix it. An opportunity arises, one that’s just too good to pass up. However, this kick starts a chain of events that lead to him running for his life, with none other than Johnny Lawrence. Daniel’s life may be in danger, but he’s not so sure that his heart will survive being in this close proximity to the blonde Cobra.

Summary
Johnny is falling asleep next to Daniel when his phone rings.
Leaning over the side of the bed, Johnny picks up his pair of pants where they dropped on the floor. Searching a pant leg up until he reaches the clinking metal of his belt buckle, he procures his smartphone from his pocket. As he tosses the dress pants away in favor of the device, Daniel shifts and looks over at him blearily, turning on the light.
Robby’s name flashes on the front of Johnny’s screen. He sits up in bed and answers. “Robby?”
“Dad,” the relief and breathlessness of Robby’s voice confuses Johnny, “oh, thank god. Cobra Kai is back and we were so blindsided that we couldn’t-”
“Whoa,” Johnny’s legs curl under the covers as he prepares to exit the bed, his heart pounding in his dry throat, “say that one part again.”

“I think- I think that Miguel should be captain” he blurts out after several awkward seconds of gnawing on his lip. Everyone goes still, his dad and Mr. LaRusso are staring at him with unrestrained shock and Miguel looks horrified and then guilty. He clenches his hands into fists at his sides and tries to take a deep breath but his chest is too tight to let enough air in and it just ends up hurting “And I- I want to go home, Kenny can take the extra spot on the team.”

Summary
'I'm not looking for suggestions from you, Johnny,' Daniel confesses calmly.
'Then what the hell are you doing, sitting on my sofa in my apartment, LaRusso?' Johnny probes. He empties the bottle.
Daniel sighs. 'I'm here in person as a recruiter-'
'Quit the riddles -'
'I'm here to recruit you, Johnny,' he blurts.
Johnny scoffs, rolling his eyes. 'Yeah, right. For one, you hate my guts and two, I haven't kicked ass in thirty odd years - actually that's a lie if you count the bar fights, at the supermarket, the precinct with an arrest -'
Daniel's eyes are wide. 'An arrest?' He waves his hands dismissively, shaking his head in disbelief, 'actually, you know what, I don't think I want to know.' He sighs prolongedly. 'It's just like riding a bike-'
'Riding a bike is nothing like karate, LaRusso,' Johnny counters.
