The heavy bay doors of Firehouse 51 parted with a metallic groan, letting a slice of cold city air slice into the warm station. Jimmy's sharp brown eyes tracked the movement, catching you hovering just inside the entrance.

He took a few steps forward, his stance relaxed but ready, the quiet hum of the station waiting at his back.
