The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 31.

Garnet: This is what Arrow thought us y/n.

Garnet said to y/n and y/n looks down for a second thinking about something

Amethyst: So..

Flashback*

Jasper: Fusions are just a cheap tactic to make weak gems stronger!

Flashback ends

Amethyst: So, jasper was right. Fusions are just a cheap tactic to make weak gems stronger...

Garnet: No, That really depends on the persons that fused. For me, there are types of fusion. There is fusion for love, like me. There is fusion for protection and there is fusion for power.

You: And malachite is?

All of you remain silent in the car.

Pearl: Y/N, did we ever tell you that you reminded us about arrow?

You: And why is that?

Pearl: He was just like you. But the only difference about you and arrow is that you don't burry an anger on us gems. You think just like him, you sometimes even act like him.

You: Is that what you think of me? A new arrow?

Pearl: No, what I meant is-

You: Pearl, I am my own person. I am not arrow, I am Y/N L/N. Do you understand?

Pearl: (sigh*) We understand..

Suddenly, your phone rings you grab your phone out of your pocket and give it to pearl.

You: Pearl take this

You handed it to pearl and pearl takes it away. Pearl then answered the call.

Pearl: Hello?

Steven (in the phone): Pearl, can you three get over here. Iron and peridot has something to present to you.

Iron (in the phone): Bring y/n too!

Steven (in the phone): Oh and y/n too. Bye!

You: Alright, let's hurry it up.

You step on the gas and the car was faster than ever. All of you are now going back to beach city.

At the Beach House*

Peridot is seen about to give a presentation to you and the Gems.

Peridot: Ahem, ahem. As it seems we have no other options, me and iron have conceded to reveal some important information to you Crystal Gems.

Peridot snaps her fingers, cuing Steven and iron to shuffle in, steven is wearing a box with a crudely drawn picture of Earth on it and Iron was at the back of steven holding the box. Peridot, using a flyswatter as a pointer, smacks the box.

Peridot: This-!

Steven: (teeters in surprise*) Woah!

Peridot:... Is the Earth. At the very center of the planet's core lies... the Cluster! Rotate.

Steven complies, iron turns the box to show a representation of the Earth's core and the Cluster inside.

Peridot: (points at the illustration*) This is the Cluster. A massive, artificial fusion composed of millions of Gem shards. It has laid dormant for thousands of years within this planet's crust. When this Gem activates and takes its form, the result will be catastrophic. Now! (hits the box again*)

iron flips back the illustration to the Earth picture and steven bobs up and down, making escalating noises. A green snake-like puppet then bursts through the box, and the Gems gasps while you remain there not reacting much.
