The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 35.

Garnet: You offered her a lot of your trust.

Steven: I did! And it blew up in my face. You guys have been protecting Earth for thousands of years. Iron and peridot could've destroyed all of that. A whole Earth, why did I think I could change their mind?

Amethyst: Ugh, I know right? But I guess you can't like go into peoples' heads and change how they think. Maybe we can? Yeaaah, if we just shrink down really little-

You: Hmm, you're kinda right but shouldn't you aim for the gem in order for you to control her

Steven: No no no, I don't want to tell them what to do. They should just know. Shouldn't she?

Garnet: It's 'cause you believe in everyone Steven. Like your mother, you seem to have a little more patience than the rest of us. But the truth is, not everyone deserves that patience.

Pearl: Look on the bright side. At least you got this thing away from her before she did any real damage.

Steven :... Yeah.

You: Now, let's go to the barn and talk to those two.

Suddenly, one side of the barn explodes.

Pearl: Ah!

Your eyes widen out of anger.

Steven (turns around*) OHHH NOOOOO!!!!

You and The Crystal Gems see Iron
falling from the sky. Iron then lands horribly on her back.

Pearl: Iron, are you okay?

Iron: (grunts*) Where is peridot?

Peridot bursting out of the barn in her robot from "Back to the Barn".

Peridot: (laughs maniacally*) Free!! FREEEEE!!! AHAHAHA!

Steven: How did she escape?!

Iron: I burst the vehicle by my powers.

Peridot throws the truck door in front of the Crystal Gems.

Pearl: Ah!

Peridot: Fools! Your invisible rotary shield was no match for me... once I applied logic!

Steven groans in frustration as the Gems charge towards Peridot.

Peridot: Now I'm going to do this right! (throws the truck at them*)

The Crystal Gems dodge out of the way from the truck. Iron couldn't move because she is tired. You thought for a second and, summoned you sword and jump and slicing the car in half. Pearl and Amethyst keep ahold of the communicator, but Peridot snatches it from them.

Peridot: See? None of you know what you doing! (runs away*)

Amethyst: Ohh okay! I've been ready for this! (shapeshifts into a helicopter*) Get in.

Pearl and Garnet smile at each other and climb inside Amethyst.

Pearl: Where's Steven and y/n?

Steven: Stupid Peridot, stupid giant robot! Oh why, oh why did I have to encourage her?

While, steven was complaining. You carried Iron bridal style but you are sruggling

Garnet: (stretches her arm to grab Steven*) There's no time for feeling horrible. We have to catch Peridot before she contacts Yellow Diamond.

Garnet: (stretches her arm again and grab you and iron*) Y/N, you better know what you're doing with her.

You: Don't worry, I know.
