Station 19 one shots

C at 19

Crystal Heart Sherriden is an original character of mine that has her own story (also on wattpad Crystal Heart Sherriden Series if you like her). I enjoy having her slip in and out of fandoms and I couldn't stop thinking about this pacific one. If you don't know who C is there is all the information you need throughout the story. Enjoy!!

Crystal Heart Sherriden, 18 years old and staring out the window on the flight from Heathrow England to Seattle (comment a Seattle airport please I don't know!) USA. As a part of her job in JIST (Junior International Space Teams) she goes wherever her and her team is needed. C is captain of Phoenix as well as captain of the ship they share with Dragon and Serpents USS Oceaniana though she was technically Assitant Vice Admiral. This was a rare occasion where it was just her needed, all sorts of thoughts ran who her head. She was really needed she was going there to pick up and learn tactics to train her team on as firefighting was one of there few weak points.

C sat laptop in hand editing a video for her choir wondering what the station she was assigned to like. Were they kind and loving or were they cruel and distant? Personally she didn't like either she preferred to be left alone in her world of the arts. The thing about C was that she wasn't normal, far from it she was half Equestrian, 1/4 human, 1/6 changeling and a vela (a form of vampire). From the outside she appeared to be a sweet kid with a rough past; once you really got to know her she could still be sweet but she could also be a tad creepy staring you down from the other side of the corridor. Back home she wasn't a force to be reckoned with if you pissed her off, C was the undefeated champion of her local fight club. 

At the same time at 19 they were trying to get used to Robert being a probie all the while fearing this fresh meat. Out of curiosity Andy and Maya sat down in the beanery and Googled Crystal Heart Sherriden there new probie at least for a few days. Nothing significant came up about her only that she was one hell of a tough cookie. "Hello I'm C Sherriden I'm meant to be meeting a Captain Maya Bishop at firehouse 19?" Her voice made them all melt, it sound like a literal siren was speaking to them. Maya snapped out of her trance faster than the others and ran down to meet this angle Jack on her tale. His eyes popped out of his head when he saw her exquisite beauty: pale skin adorned with thousands of delicate freckles, large unique eyes with an unusual white line across the middle, long dark chocolate brown hair that fell to her hips and a well toned muscled if not slim physique. "Yeah I'm Captain Maya Bishop but just call me Maya. Your Crystal Heart right?" "The one and only but I prefer C, Isabella or Issy. One of the three Crystal Heart is quite a mouth full in my opinion."

Her eyes flickered around the station looking at every wall and door carefully looking for any clue of this familiarity in the space. "Sorry I'm late down have we done introductions yet don't wanna miss that," Robert muttered bolting down the stairs, dragging a disgruntled Andy with him, "No way, bust my buttons and call me a monkeys uncle, Big Brother Bobby? It's me Bells," his faced cocked to the side trying to remember her then it hit him like a tone of bricks, "Bells? Dam you have changed Lewis was right. How is Phoenix?" "Fine we all miss you. And before you ask yes even Twitch misses you," "No surprise there. Hey what's going on with good old 1378?" "Well a year after you left I got promoted to second in command then when Lewis got promoted a few weeks ago I took over as captain but...I don't think I should tell you," "Bells if it's Oceaniana I want to know," "JIST is decommissioning her." Those words stung. Both of them served together on Oceaniana, both of them knew and trusted each other.

Flashback 5 years

Isabella was sat off to the side as Oceaniana cruised through Galaxies to reach the Genesis War which had been ranging for years now only this time JIST was called in. She was clutching her report card scared to even open it, "Hey Bells you okay?" Bobby asked. He had been a big brother to the crew including Issy, "It's nothing. My report card came in and I'm scared to open it. It's the irony that we're going most likely to our deaths and I'm nor scared but yet something as simple as a piece of paper frightens me." Bobby pulled the envelope from her grasp and opened it himself. Not knowing her circumstances he whipped her ass verbally for all sorts of crazy stuff. 

End of flashback

The two laughed over the good times lightening the mood especially over the news of Oceaniana. "So how do you two know each other?" Andy asked when it was just three of them, "Let me guess this is Andy? We love the letters you send for us, we all miss him. He was our second in command for years before leaving JIST, we called him Big Brother Bobby because he would always be all over our asses if we got in trouble of flunked school. But he did have his good times, he introduced us to smokin' pot so he couldn't get us in trouble without snitching on himself," she was trying her hardest to contain her laughter by that point especially as she sensed the wheels turning in Andy's mind. When she realised Andy gave him a glare, if looks could kill. C was laughing so hard she fell off her chair. 

"Alright you weirdo sit it up. This is why I don't like working with under 21's," Maya chuckled helping C off the floor. They gave her a Seattle uniform as she stuck out like a sore thumb in her JIST uniform. She stayed mainly out of there way, kept to herself, even Ben was questioning her true motives for being there she talked so little. "Okay Sherriden why are you so quiet?" "None of your business," Bobby grabbed her wrist and stopped her from walking off, "This is not the time Bobby," "Five years ago today isn't it and your alone," "Yeah five years ago today. He was the best thing that ever happened to me," Bobby laughed pulling his phone out to find the photo of him with Oceaniana, "I can agree to that he got your but in gear,"  they were laughing over the good times together. "Here we go all of us together, I forgot I even had this," "Thats brilliant it's all of us Kevin included. Hey there's you with Buck on your shoulders, TK's with me and Kevin god I miss the original Quintet," "Oh I remember you lot the Quintet you refused to do anything without encouragement." Andy pulled the team out of the room trusting her husband. 

Andy knew about Kevin and C and there relationship with Robert. So it wasn't all awkward jealousy. C did feel sorry for Robert, yes he stole drugs but he lost everything in a desperate act. He had helped her kick PTSD to the curb so how could she help him. 

Fourth day of her being there she sent out a text to Oceaniana just as they were leaving for a 3 alarm. The fire itself was pretty laid back it was a condemned building so they were just there to make sure no other buildings were set a light in the process. "Was it just me or did we slay that!" Vic shouted climbing round from the engine, "We slayed that. 19!" Miller answer, "19!" C had learned that that was there team calling card. "So this is what Big Bro Bobby got up to after JIST," a voice behind them said, appearing to not be in on the act C bolted to her friends hugging them all one by one, "What are you guys doing here?" "C gave us a call and well we couldn't resist saying hello," "Lewis?" "It's me Bobby I hope," "Who are we!" C yelled at the top of her lungs, "Oceaniana!" "Who are we!" "Oceaniana!" "What are we!" "Family!"

 19 had never seen such a smile on Roberts face as they did then. There was something about C she was so mysterious, there was something just not quite right with her. She was friendly enough but she was very distant. She only really talked to Robert and even then it was about their shared past. "Hey C is it?"  "Prefer Issy or Isabella," she said bluntly barely glancing up from her book, "Last time I saw you people still called you Bells after," "Don't you dare finish that sentence Bobby," "Why Bells?" Vic asked, Andy clearly knew as she was trying her hardest not to laugh. Bobby left the beanery to return with something in his pocket. He pulled out a chain of bells and started jingling them. C leapt from her chair and practically forced herself not to leap at Robert for the bells, "You said you grew out of that?" "What?" C snapped her head out of her trance, "Grew out of your obsession with bells, you had boxes and boxes full of them and would practically leap at someone for a bell. That why we called her bells," "Okay now put them away before, oh," she prized the bells from Robert's hand then became enchanted with them. "Don't have to worry about her for the next couple of hours, those could keep her occupied for days," 19 didn't know wether to laugh or to cry it was that looney.
