The shadow assassin (steven universe reader-insert)

Chapter 15.

You: Huh, Weird? What is Mayor Dewey up to?

You just decided not to catch up with the van and just took your time going there.

At the beach house*

Steven wakes up in the morning in his bedroom. He walks to the refrigerator, half asleep and yawning, and reaches for a pack of "Microwavable Crying Breakfast Friends" in the freezer. He then pops it in the microwave and presses a button to turn it on, but nothing happens.

Steven: What's wrong with the microw-

Steven opens the microwave by accident, hitting himself in the face

Steven: Ow! Ugh...! (takes the thawed food pack out of the microwave*) What is the meaning of this?!

Loud knocking is suddenly heard at the door and Steven goes to open it.

Steven: Mayor Dewey?

Mayor Dewey: Hello there. young Universe. Any of your... sisters home?

Steven: My sisters?

Mayor Dewey: Your caretakers! You know....the tall one, the purple one, the hot one.

Steven keeps staring blankly at Mayor Dewey.

Mayor Dewey: Look, the power is out and I've been mayor long enough to know they had something to do with it.

Steven: (confused*) My sisters?

Mayor Dewey: Is there anyone else I can talk to about this?

Steven: (shouts into the house*) Pearl!

Pearl: Coming!

Mayor Dewey blushes while fixing his collar.

Pearl: Oh, can I help you?

Mayor Dewey: (dumbfounded*) Yes. (comes to senses*) Oh hi! (clears his throat and acts professionally* )

You now arrive at steven's house and see mayor dewey talking to pearl.

You: Hi, Mayor Dewey

Mayor Dewey: (looks back*) Oh, hi y/n. What brings you here?

Steven: Hey y/n! Wanna come inside? We could really use your help?

You: Sure thing steven.

You walked to their beach house and stands next to pearl. Mayor Dewey was sweating and you decided to answer Mayor Dewey's question

You: Well mayor dewey, im here to help them on one of their gem business. But, what about you? Shouldn't you been doing some mayor stuff?

Mayor Dewey: Well yes, beach city is currently experiencing a wide spread power outage--

Pearl: Oh, don't worry about that, the power should be back on as early as tonight or as late as... never

You: (Surprised*) What?!

Mayor Dewey: What do you mean?! Never coming back?!

Pearl: Yes?

Mayor Dewey: No, no, no! It has to come back! The people of Beach City can't handle a situation like this, they need their electronic distractions so they won't know that this town is a magnet for disaster!

Pearl: Oh, don't be dramatic. I saw humans get on fine without power for millennia. You used to hunt and gather. (chuckles*) What happened to that?

You: But, Pearl! We humans are different now! Unlike those times, we humans have evolved and changed. Our needs to live has change too and that means we need power to survive at this time as well.
