🔥She thought she was joining a team.
She didn't know she'd find a family in the flames🔥
At just twenty years old, Crimson Vesta Hunter transfers from Seattle to Los Angeles, stepping into the chaos and family that is Station 118.
She's quiet.
She's small.
And no one really knows what to make of her.
Captain Bobby Nash reads her transfer file - top of her class, one year of field experience, a spotless record - but none of it explains the quiet weight behind her bright blue eyes, or why she flinches at kindness but faces fire without fear.
The 118 welcomes her with warmth and wariness - after all, they've seen rookies crash and burn before. But Crimson isn't another Buck. She's methodical, focused, and determined to prove herself through action, not words.
And as the weeks unfold, Bobby and Athena begin to see a girl who doesn't just belong at the station - she belongs with them.
Because sometimes, family isn't who you're born to.
It's who stands beside you when the world burns.
