"Oh, I got bored of sitting in my apartment so I came down to visit and I made lunch. It's balsamic chicken with seasoned potato wedges. It's still in the oven so it stays warm." The silverette said receiving a side hug from Bobby before the rest of the 118 appeared.

The duo heard a group of voices approaching by the stairs. Looking over they saw the rest of the team. "Now is that my patient I see? Sitting in the break room of her workplace when she should be at home resting." Hen said, walking over to look over the younger female. She bent down to look at her ankle.
"Yes, but I have a good reason," Eve said, looking up at her five co workers. "I was really bored and I wanted to move around, my house is really boring." Her friends all rolled their eyes at her before walking over to the table.
"Well, someone carry her over to the table so she doesn't walk." Hen said, smirking at Eve, knowing she doesn't like physical touch. "So Capt, who's making lunch?" Buck walked around the couch to Evelyn, leaning down to pick her up "Oh, c'mon this is stupid i can walk on my own. I have crutches."
"Ya, well you shouldn't be walking on it anyway." Said responded looking down at her, seeing her pout. She kind of reminded him of an angry kitten. "Now, c'mon let's eat."
Tuning back into the conversation, the two youngest heard Bobby "Well actually, Eve made us lunch while we were on call" The four people at the stove turned to look at the pair, seeing Evan putting Evie in a seat at the table. "So we don't have to wait while I cook and can start eating before our next call."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's eat." Chimney said smiling at Eve before thanking her for making lunch. Everyone hoped on and also started to thank her. "Not that i agree with it because you should have been resting." He joked at the youngest smiling at her.
"Whatever, It's in the oven. Bring it over, I'm hungry and I didn't eat breakfast. Too busy sleeping." She said this and everyone laughed. Starting to bring over the food, Eddie placed the chicken on the table while Bobby had the Potato wedges. Hen and Buck had the drinks and silverware/plates, Eve had left on the counter. "Well I hope everyone enjoys it." She started smiling wide at everyone at the table. "I hope you guys don't mind one more at the table" Eve heard an unfamiliar voice over by the stairs. Turning her head, she saw a woman in a police uniform walking over to them.
Bobby walked over, smiling at the woman giving her a kiss on the check. "Evelyn, I want you to meet Athena Grant. She's LAPD. I invited her to lunch." Athena this is Evelyn clay, Newbie to the station." He said walking over to the table, pulling a seat out for Athena next to Evelyn.
"It's nice to meet you," Evelyn said, going to stand up to greet the older woman. "NO!" Everyone at the table shouted at Eve making her jump and fall back into her seat.
"Now, what are you guys doing going around scaring her like that? What was that about?" Athena asked the group of firefighters/paramedics. They all looked guilty because they didn't mean to scare Evelyn. They all noticed that she gets jumpy around loud noises and tries not to scare her with them.
"Sorry Athena, it's just that Eve is out on med leave meaning she shouldn't even be here. She got hurt in the earthquake on a call" Hen responded looking over at the young girl who looked down sheepishly blushing.
"Okay listen we already went over this, I can't sit still. I'm a very active person." Evelyn whined. They all laughed at her and started to dig in.
"Wow, bobby this is really good. Why haven't you made this at home." Athena asked, looking at Bobby who smiled. Everyone else looked around smirking. "What are you guys smirking about?"
"I didn't make it Athena, Evelyn did." Bobby said smiling at the youngest member of the 118. "She came over while we were on call and made it so we'd have more time to eat."
"well, then you'll have to come over to my house and cook because girl this is really good." Athena joked with the nudging Eve. "So girly, where are you from?"
"Oh, I'm from Dallas, Texas. Evelyn said, turning to talk with the older female, seeing as she was done eating. "Born and raised."
"Look at that, We have two Texans in our presence now." Athena said looking at Evelyn and Eddie. "Texas no want you two?"
"Haha, Athena. Very funny." Eddie responded, rolling his eyes while chuckling. "So any other wisdom you wish to part with us, Evie? We still don't know that much about you" Everyone agreed with Eddie and Evelyn started to think.
"Well, I'm 21, and spent most of my childhood with my grandparents. I love animals, Especially Cats, Yellow is my favorite color. I love being outside and apart from going to my grandparents, I also went to Austin a lot." Evelyn Started to rattle things off that she thought were interesting about her. Hen smirked at the girl when she heard that she loved cats, thinking it's ironic.(Remember Hen's the only one that knows about her ears.)
"How are your grandparents?" Eddie asked, after finding out that Eve's grandparents were in El Paso, Eddie discovered that he does know her Grandparents. He met them at a market and would deliver groceries to them when he was in high school.
"Oh they're great, My grandfather is back at home from the hospital and in good health. They called me after the Earthquake to make sure I was okay." Eve answered Eddie smiling at his concern for her grandparents.
"That's good next time you talk to them. Tell them i said hi." Eddie said, earning a smile and nod from the girl.
"So how about your parents? Did they call?" Athena asked. Hearing this question, everyone in the 118 froze, looking at Eve worried. They still don't know what happened with the girl's parents but every time they are brought up she always deflects the question. One time she yelled at Buck because he wouldn't stop asking about them.
"Oh, uh I'm gonna get some water. Anyone want anything?" Evelyn just deflected the question, getting up and using her crutches to get over to the sink.
"No honey, we're fine." Bobby answered before whispering to Athena "We don't really ask about her parents. She deflects the question and she blew up on buck when she first started working for him because he wouldn't stop asking. We just don't bring them up anymore."
"Oh okay, thanks for letting me know," Athena said looking worried, thinking she upset the 21 year old. "Don't worry, she's not upset, she just doesn't like to talk about them." Bobby said, soothing Athena's worry.
The team had finished lunch and were just checking over the truck while Evelyn was just sitting on the couch upstairs. Hen came up to check on her. "Hey you mind if I check your ankle? I just wanna make sure it's healing correctly."
"Yeah sure, go head." Evelyn said, putting her phone down and taking her boot off revealing her pastel yellow socks. Hen gently grabbed the ankle and checked it out.
"Okay, well it's looking good. I'm thinking just a week more and you'll be able to get off med leave." Hen said putting her ankle down and standing up. "Now how are you doing? I know it's been a day since you got hurt but humor me"
"I'm doing good, tired all the time and really bored." The younger of the pair said. "I'm really really bored when can I start exercising? I'm a very active person. I'm going crazy."
Hen laughed at the girl. "You can start running again next week. Until then you can go on walks if one of us is with you."
"Ugh, fine." Eve whined. A few seconds later, the fire bell rang, signaling that the 118 had a call.
"Well, see ya when we get back girly. Keep relaxing please." Hen said before getting up and running to the ambulance with Chim, while the guys ran to the fire truck. Evelyn decided to lay on the couch and play on her phone, waiting for them to get back.
