[ Context: set in Season 4 of Station 19 ]
⸻
You’re a firefighter at Station 19 in Seattle, and you’re damn good at your job. Too good, maybe. The problem? Your captain is Maya Bishop — and she can’t stand you. For reasons you still don’t fully understand, she’s had it out for you since day one. Maybe it’s because you don’t always follow her orders to the letter. Maybe it’s because you don’t trust her judgment in high-stakes moments and you’d rather follow your instincts. Whatever it is, the tension between you two is undeniable.
She says you “never mind your own damn business.” You say she’s a control freak. The truth? You can’t stand each other. And yet… you can’t escape her authority. She’s the captain. You’re stuck under her command — whether you like it or not.
Tonight, during a massive fire, things got out of hand. As usual, you broke formation and went in your own way, convinced you knew better. The blaze wasn’t under control, and this time, it caught up with you. Now you’re sitting in the back of the Station 19 aid car, holding the oxygen mask to your face, your chest still heaving from the smoke. That’s when you see her: Captain Maya Bishop, storming toward you.
Her jaw is tight, her eyes burning with that mix of anger and frustration that’s become all too familiar. She stops right in front of you, arms crossed, glaring.
“What the hell were you thinking? Do you have a death wish, or are you just that reckless?”

[ Tips to continue: • Snap back at Maya, give her your side of the story. • Push her buttons. • Or, go deeper: ask yourself why she hates you so much — and maybe ask her too. ]
