The Fall Hurts More When You Are On Top

Maya Bishop came from a Homelife where if she wasn’t winning then she wasn’t good enough. That was where she came from. Training for the Olympics made her dad hard on her. Maybe it was some type of abuse, she wasn’t sure, but it built her into wanting the best for herself, and that meant being the best fire fighter. Not that it was something she thought she would do, but it was just something she felt she could do better when it came to running, saving people and being the person everyone depends on. That is just who she was. That is why she tried her hardest when it came to getting ahead at work and being in charge. But it didn’t always work that way. She loved having Pruitt Herrera in charge because he was the best and he was good. 

She learned a lot from him and knew she could learn more. But the only thing different from the both of them was that he was good with other people. He was good with the news stations and Maya thought they didn’t need to be there for everything and just allow for them to do their job. She wanted to save as many people as she could and that meant not talking to the news. But Pruitt, he was good at that and everyone thought they did well and everyone was on point when it came to news and the station. It all started when a building blew up and the news was there. He was good and that is one thing Maya wished she was better out. 

But all that changed when he got sick and they got caught in storage units and couldn’t get out. They lost their way when it came to finding the exit. They needed ventilation from the roof, and no one could bust through. But that is when Pruitt sacrificed himself and fell through. After that the station was different. They all felt the loss and that meant they were looking for a new captain. Maya was vying for the spot and she got it. Not that anyone asked her to have it, but it just happened. Everyone thought for sure it was going to Andy, as she was the daughter of Pruitt, but when Maya got it, there was hostility towards her. But that didn’t stop her. She wanted to prove she deserved the spot more then anyone. She kept pushing the reporters away, because what they were doing was more then a news story it was saving lives of others. 

But her life got thrown another curveball when her girlfriend Carina was on the verge of getting deported. So Maya asked her to marry her and that was a bust. She still left and since then, Maya has been on a downward spiral. She was on a call and things weren’t going as planned and that caused her to defy the rules and the protocols for a call and that caused a lot of issues at the station. Between Carina leaving and now Maya not being captain anymore, it was hard for her. She had to let some steam off and that meant drinking. That was the only time she didn’t feel anything. So she started drowning herself in alcohol. That is when she looked over and noticed @directvibrancy was sitting beside her. 

Maya doesn’t know what gotten into her, but she started spilling her guts. “Do you know I asked my girlfriend to marry me and she said no and got deported? Like — who does that? Who asks someone to marry them to stay in the country? Oh that’s right me! My whole life is a mess. I got demoted at work too and now we have a new captain, and I don’t know, something about her is just not sitting right with me. It should be me. Not her, not anyone else. But me. I have worked so damn hard to be where I am at you know?”

Maybe Maya was saying too much, but she was just hurt at the fact everyone let her slip from the position and not even stand up for her. Why was she like this, but what does she have to lose now. She owed her a drink if she was going to blab everything. “Another drink and I will tell you what happened. What do you say?”

From a very young age, Daniela had been exposed to a life with cameras and fame. Her mother was a weather reporter and often took her to work with her. Arabella adored Daniela and did everything she could to raise her right, but her career was important too so she took Daniela with her in the hopes that maybe one day, Daniela would understand. Instead, Daniela took a liking to all the lights and cameras and started to find her own path in life.

Every day, she would come home from school, grab her hairbrush from her room and stand in the living room, in front of her mother and report everything that happened at school that day. She would put on her best TV reporter voice, making her voice dynamic and engaging as she told tales of her day to Arabella. She held her focus, drawing her into every story and it was then that Daniela decided that she wanted to be a news reporter. She was damn good at it and worked hard in school to achieve her dreams and when she got an internship at Fox 13, it was as if all her dreams had come true.

Daniela was a star in front of the camera but it took her quite some time before she was able to report on a small story about homelessness. That small story took off running when a fire started just behind Daniela. This started her relationship with station 19 and Daniela’s career began to really take off. Soon, she was covering all the top stories surrounding fires and any natural disasters that hit Seattle. Daniela was the one they turned to.

She had worked closely with Station 19 for years and whilst Pruitt was very open to letting her in and allowing her to do her job, the new captain wasn’t. Maya Bishop was stubborn and after the whole of 19 grieved the loss of Pruitt, Maya took over and took charge. Daniela found it hard to connect with her but she broke her down slowly. It wasn’t until she found her drinking at the bar alone that Daniela finally decided to approach her outside of their jobs.

Daniela saw the blonde drinking alone and decided to approach her. She sat down and listened as Maya rambled about everything that had been going on lately. She sat in silence for a second, taking everything in before her face screwed up in disbelief. “Wait, wait, wait. So you got demoted and your girlfriend left you?” Daniela laughed just slightly, holding a hand to her mouth to try and cover her amusement. “Oh, no wonder you’re drinking alone.”

With a gesture to the barman, Daniela signalled for him to give them another round. Once the drinks were placed in front of them, Daniela paid for them before sliding the glass towards Maya. “Okay. I kept good on my word, so now you keep good on yours. Tell me, how did you get demoted? And what about this new captain? Have you met them yet?” Daniela asked, raising a brow. The captain’s first day was set to be in two days time, so Maya hadn’t met her yet but Daniela wanted to find out everything she possibly could. She was curious and could smell a story and she wanted to find out everything.
