The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 35.

???: Pearl.

Yellow Pearl: Yes, my Diamond?

???: Why is there someone on the Diamond line?

Yellow Pearl: I don't know. I was just about to tell her that-

???: I'll take it from here.

Yellow Diamond brings the screen up to her eye level, revealing herself for the first time, and the Crystal Gems gasp in shock.

Amethyst: Is that-

Pearl: Yellow-

Garnet: Diamond!

You: Why does she look like a giraffe though?

Peridot: My Diamond!Peridot, reporting in.

Yellow Diamond: (busy typing away on her control panel*) Which Peridot?

Peridot: F-Facet 2-F-5-L, Cut 5-X-G. I'm sorry to contact you this way, but all other forms of communication have been destroyed and-

Yellow Diamond holds up her palm to halt Peridot's speech.

Yellow Diamond: This says you're behind schedule on your mission to...

Yellow Diamond retrieves a screen detailing the Earth pops up on her monitor.

Yellow Diamond: How is... the Earth?

Peridot: It's... full of... life.

Yellow diamond : (disgusted*) Organic life... And where is the jasper and Iron I assigned you? And why aren't you calling from the ship?

Iron: (whispers to you*) I gotta help peridot.

You: What?!! No!!

Iron: Just trust me on this.

Iron then walks out and started to walk to peridot unseen by yellow diamond. She changes back to her original form before joining peridot.

Iron: (suddenly pops out*) Yellow diamond (does the diamond salute*) I have arrived as soon as peridot was about to talk to you about our mission.

Yellow: (looks at iron for a sec*) It's you, the hideous Iron gem. Who brought shame to her very own cut of gems just because she can't shatter a single quartz. You disgust me and you are nothing more than an embarrassment to yourself. (to herself*) I should have shatter you back then.

Peridot: My diamond... The ship was destroyed.

Yellow Diamond: By whom? By that Iron gem?

Peridot: No. I-I-I-It was destroyed by... (gazes at the worried Steven*) No one! There was... an accident?... While we were landing.

Yellow Diamond: (unamused*) I'll inform your manager of your incompetence. (Yellow Pearl appears on-screen and smirks at Peridot*) And what is the status of the Cluster?

Peridot: The Cluster... will emerge shortly.

Yellow Diamond: Good. We'll finally get some use out of that miserable planet... What about black diamond's gem? Is it on earth?

Iron: It is not, my diamond.

Yellow diamond: I didn't ask you Iron. I didn't need your pitiful opinion.

Peridot: I'm afraid not my diamond. Black diamond's gem isn't on this planet.

Yellow diamond: Very well, Thank you for your report, Peridot. There'll be a ship heading to your location to take you to your next assignment.

Peridot: Wait! ... I-I wouldn't called to waste your time with a report.

Yellow Diamond: You already have.
