The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 39.

You, Lapis and Steven land on the Galaxy Warp and they both walk towards the broken Homeworld warp.

Lapis:This is where I was abandoned. (looks down in despair*)

You: What do you mean abandoned?

Lapis: I'll tell the both of you my backstory 6,000 years ago.

Steven: What happened?

You shocked by this, you set in your head that you need to listen every detail. Especially after iron told you about the lazuli massacre.

Lapis begins controlling the water around the Galaxy Warp, creating walls of water, and floods the whole place. She then walks up to the Homeworld Warp, covers it in water, and projects a crystal-clear surface on it.

Steven: Whoa... It's like a mirror.

Lapis starts projecting her memories on the water like a mirror, as she retells her tale.

Lapis first arrived on Earth in the middle of a beautiful green-filled savanna.

Lapis (Narrator): It was thousands of years ago. I was only meant to visit for a short time, but I got caught in the middle of the war

Laapis suddenly found herself in the chaos of the Gem Battlefield, as devastation happened all around her.

Lapis (Narrator): It was awful. I tried to run, but...

Lapis was suddenly confronted by a rainbow-haired Gem. She tried to fly off, but the Gem attacked her, dissipating her physical form and leaving her gem behind.

Lapis (Narrator): I was picked up by a Homeworld soldier and confused for a Crystal Gem, and used as a tool.

Lapis' gem was picked up and placed on the back of the Mirror.

Lapis (Narrator: They'd asked me, "Show us your base!", "Where is your leader?" I didn't know. I couldn't say I'm not one of them.

Dozens of Homeworld Gems glared at Lapis, helplessly trapped in the mirror.

Lapis (Narrator): It soon became clear that there was no hope in stopping the rebellion. All of the Homeworld Gems fled, and all the panic of escaping Earth, I was left behind.

Homeworld Gems began fleeing Earth via warp pads and spaceships. Lapis mirror was dropped behind, and a Gem accidentally stepped on it, cracking her gem. After all the Homeworld Gems had fled, a bright flash of light then appeared in the sky.

Lapis (Narrator): And there I stayed. Freedom in my sight, but out of reach for ages, until I was found.

Lapis' mirror remained at the Galaxy Warp, constantly gazing up into the sky, until a younger Pearl appeared and picked her up.

Lapis eventually loses her concentration in her despair and releases her control over the water. You and steven run up to her.

Steven: Are you okay?

Lapis: I'll be fine. But steven can I talk to y/n for a second?

Steven: Uh sure. Why not?

Steven leaves you two alone.

You sit down with lapis and lapis sit down. You two started looking at the stars.

You: Are you sure you'll be fine?

Lapis: Yeah, I just needed to talk to you.

You: What is it?

Lapis: I want to tell you something personal back when I was on homeworld 6,000 years ago. I feel you are the only one who can I trust now.
