The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 31.

Iron: His right though steven, no offense. Just give y/n the chalk.

You: And why can't you draw it correctly?

Iron: I want to evaluate if you humans are still the same 6,000 years ago.

You: And what do you mean by that?

Iron: Like you know, smart, clever, brave and most of all... Strong.

You looked at her with a serious face and accepted her challenge

You: Steven, give me the chalk.

Steven nods and gives you the chalk and you start erasing the cartoon space drill and started to draw an exact blueprint on the blackboard.

Pearl then takes a look at your  drawing.

Pearl: Hmm, not bad bad y/n. This could work for now.

Peridot: Hey!! I'll evaluate y/n's work if it's applicable or not!!

Pearl rolls her eyes and you give the chalk to peridot, she examines your work and hands it to Pearl.

Peridot: Hmm. Good, yes, this is adequate. Thank you y/n, good job. Pearl, you can go now.

Pearl: (exchanges looks with at you and steven*) Uh, what?

Peridot: Hm? Umm.. That will be all?

Peridot claps her hands in command. Pearl continues to stand there, looking incredulously at Peridot.

Peridot: (whispers to Steven*) How do you get her to leave?

Pearl: Excuse me, I am not leaving.

Steven: Yeah! She's gotta stay here to help us build the drill thing, right y/n?

You: Yup. Peridot, you and pearl should learn how to work with each other if we want to destroy the cluster. I'll be there to monitor you two and at the same time help you and if I'm not around Iron could take charge.

Peridot: (chuckles slightly*) No, no. Y/N, You're confused. A Pearl can't build a thing like this.

Steven: Why not?

Peridot: Because Pearls aren't for this! They're for standing around, and looking nice, and holding your stuff for you... right Iron?

Iron: Peridot, you must understand that we are on earth for now, this planet is different from homeworld and so are the ways that work here

Pearl: Peridot, That's enough! If we're going to work together like y/n said, you're going to have to listen to me.

Peridot: Listen to you? (laughs and says to Steven*) Did you teach her to talk like this?

Pearl looks at Peridot angrily.

Steven: What are you talking about?

Peridot: She's a Pearl. She's a made-to-order servant just like the hundreds of other Pearls being flaunted around back on Homeworld.

Steven: Wait... there's hundreds of Pearls!?

Pearl: (blushes*) Well, yes, bu-

Peridot: (inspecting Pearl's sash*)And she looks like a fancy one, too.

Steven: (whispering to himself, trying to grasp the number*) Hundreds of Pearls...

Peridot: So, who do you belong to anyway? Do you belong to y/n now?

Pearl blushes and you quickly replied at her

You: Nobody peridot! Pearl belongs to nobody! (you snatches the sash out of Peridot's hands*)
