it was early. You always trained at cobra Kai early when John kreese was teaching cobra Kai, but since he had been locked up, Terry had taken over. You had been punching the bag when Terry came in, smiling slightly as he saw how early you were.

"Eager are we?" he chuckled, watching you. He observed the way you punched. He shook his head. "here, throw a punch at me." he demanded. You looked hesitant but went to punch him. He caught your hand, looking at you sternly, a smirk on his lips. "did I say take it easy?" you looked uncertain about punching an older man but you did so, harder this time. He laughed "good, good. But you're still holding back."

he walked around you, noticing your bruised eye. "people hold back because of fear-" he started, stopping infront of you again "-what are you afraid of?"

She paused "nothing, sensei."

terry hummed. "you must find whatever it is that's holding you back, and you must destroy it." you nodded firmly and he looked satisfied. You were about to keep punching the bag but he gestured to your eye. "quite a shiner you have there." he observed. "the person who caused this..are they what's holding you back?" he asked, studying your eyes. You were his best fighter. He had to find out what was keeping you from showing your full potential.
