The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 45.

Iron: Why didn't you call your human officials called the "police" or the crystal gems?

Little girl: I did! But they can't do anything! Wait, who's the "crystal gems" by the way?

You just sigh and decided to get this thing over it.

You: (stands up*) Don't worry little kid, we'll save your big brother. Iron, let's go.

Iron: (nods*) Okay, where to little human?

Little girl: This way quick! Our house isn't very far from here.

Time skip, at the little girl's backyard*

You and iron arrive at their house and see a bunch of police officers with their guns pointing at the monsters. You see the three monsters and one of them has taken hostage a teenager, you assumed it is the little girl's brother.

Police officer: Please release the civilian and raise your tentacles in the air!

The monster growls in response and the teenager screams for help.

You: (to iron*) Iron, we need to have a plan. If we attack them so suddenly they might hurt him.

Iron: Understood, got any ideas?

You: Hmm, I got an idea but it needs something that I don't have.

Iron: What do you need?

You: A smoke grenade.

Iron doesn't know what a smoke grenade is. She wants to help you but she doesn't know what you're talking about.

Iron: What's a smoke grenade?

You: Let's just say it's a little object that produce smoke, smoke that can make anyone's vision blurred.

Iron: I see.

You: Wait here.

You decided to leave iron and the little girl for a second to do something, you approach one of the police officers to ask for your help. You poke the police's shoulder and the police turn around, facing you.

Police: What do you want kid?! Can't you see there's a live hostage on here?!

You: I know, that is why me and my friends are here to help.

Police: Look kid, I know you want to help but it's too dangerous for you to handle. Can't you see the giant tentacle monster?! It can split you in half!

You: Trust me, I know what I'm doing. And besides, I'm one of the crystal gems. We have handle a lot of gem situations similar to this.

The police inspects you and he's shocked.

Police: Wait, I know you. You're one the guy who has been hanging out with those magical ladies.

You: Is that what they call me?

Police: Yeah, the entire neighborhood is taking about you-

You didn't have any time for this. Sure you want to hear things about what the people about you but the little kid's big brother might die in any moment which is more important to you. You quickly interrupted him and goes straight to the point.
