"Are we there yet, Connie?"
"Homeworld's literally right there, Jas."
"It is?- YAAAAAAY!"
"Don't be so loud! You know how much Steven doesn't like loud noises."
"Aww..."
Jasper turned back, reaching her hand out to Steven.
"I'm sorry if I scared you. Will you forgive me?"
Steven stared at Jasper's hand before shaking it.
"Y- yeah."
"Aw, Steven, you don't look so happy. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," he said as he looked out the window and towards the Gem Homeworld. "I'm just real nervous to see everyone again."
As the ship descended into the planet's atmosphere, Steven stared out at the bustling cityscape that was the Gem Homeworld's capital city of Malachite. He wasn't listening as Connie explained how its large, crystalline formations were hollowed out into living quarters for up to several thousands of gems, and how the smaller structures functioned as nurseries for younger gems. He simply stared out at the vibrant, bright colors he would likely never see from Earth's city skylines, if only to keep his thoughts focused on something other than the inevitable. But it wasn't even fifteen seconds when the ship was surrounded by what had to be dozens of other, slightly bigger ships, each with gems and humans alike poking out cameras from the windows of their ships. Steven's face was as red as a beet as he tried to ignore all the cameras staring at him.
"Connie? What's with all the-"
"Cameras? You don't know how big your story's gotten?"
"No!"
"Wow, they really kept you in the dark, didn't they? You really didn't expect the manhunt for Pink Diamond's son to be the largest in the galaxy? To be fair, we almost got you when you were out with another gem. What was her name... Garnet? Shame that those old Gem ships aren't easy to track. Eh, well. Once we catch up to her and her rebel friends, we'll make sure they'll get punished under the full extent of the New Authority's unlawful child abduction laws."
"W- what!? But they didn't kidnap me! And they didn't hurt me, either-"
"Oh, yes, they did," Connie said with a grin. "In fact, they've been running a big ring of child sexual exploitation for decades. And all those gems who were in the old Authority just secretly turned sides before they were found mysteriously shattered."
"...No. You can't just lie like that to-"
"Watch and learn," she said as the ship flew inside the industrial-sized parking bay and self deactivated.
"Your destination has been reached," the automated voice announced as the bubble top went back into the car. Jasper and Connie hopped out as Steven opened his door, grabbing White and reluctantly dragging her along by the arm, covering her privates with another hand to spare her a small shade of humiliation. Connie looked back at the two with a sneer.
"If only there was a way to instantly give her some clothes... Oh yeah. I know."
Steven caught a green glow radiating from her belly, and in a split second, White was wearing a black t-shirt that read "CHILD ABUSER" in large, white print, and orange slacks similar to that of an Earthling prison inmate. White looked down at herself in shock, then at the floor in shame as Steven dragged her inside the building. Jasper had gone on ahead and called the elevator, and seemed to be very excited as the other three entered along with her. Connie elbow nudged Steven in the side.
"Heheh. Given what your mom told me, that shirt isn't lying."
-
The elevator took Steven and company up to a room that was completely dark. Connie gave Steven a pat on the back before pushing him forward into the darkness. Steven gulped in fear as he took a few steps forward.
"Uh... Hello? Whoever's in here... It's me. Steven Universe."
There was a short silence before the lights suddenly turned on.
"SURPRIIISE!"
In front of Steven were all the Diamonds and Crystal Gems, beaming with happiness in front of the Diamond's thrones... except for Yellow, of course, who rolled her eyes and crossed her legs as she sat on her own throne. Pink saw this and harshly nudged her, making her groan.
"Welcome back," she said with absolutely no enthusiasm. Peridot blew a party noise maker before tossing it to the floor and running up to Steven, hugging him with all her heart and soul.
"You're back!! We missed you so much, Steven!!"
Steven had a very confused, almost distressed look on his face as he hugged back out of courtesy, the rest of the Gems gathering around him.
"You guys... You're not mad at me? I abandoned all of you..."
"You didn't abandon us," Amethyst softly spoke. "You wanted to follow your own path for once, which we all respect... But you could have at least had something to eat before you left, right?"
The other Gems laughed at Amethyst's joke. Steven's face remained red as he forced a chuckle.
"Y- yeah... So, uh... What now?"
"Now?" Pink asked. "Now is when we ask White to join us."
Everyone went silent. Yellow's face almost contorted into an evil smile as she brought the bound White to Steven.
"Yes... Yes, exactly. And our good friend Jasper might have done something about that, right?"
Jasper looked back at Yellow, unfazed.
"Eh?"
"...'Eh'? What do you mean, 'eh'? You've helped Steven change White's mind, didn't you?"
Steven could sense the argument beginning to develop, as could White. White shuffled a tad closer to Steven as the bickering between Yellow and Jasper began in earnest.
"Green and I gave you direct orders to force Steven onto her! How do you just forget that, imbecile!?"
"I- I'm really sorry! I dunno what you're talking about!"
"Liar! Give me your cellular communication device!"
"She destroyed it," Connie interjected. "She had to to keep the rebels off her and our trails!"
"What!? FOOL! Why in the galaxy would she-"
"It's called undercover work, you... black hole of... practical knowledge!"
"How DARE you insult the one who gave you your diamond, you insolent little worm!?"
White knelt down in front of Steven as their two biggest threats were distracted. The other Crystal Gems stared in awe and wonder.
"That's so cute," Amethyst said, "White's already respecting Steven's authority!"
Quickly, Steven undid the covering around White's gem.
"WHAT ARE YOU IMBECILES DOING!?" Yellow exclaimed. "STOP THEM!"
Steven hugged White Diamond, and in a fraction of a second, they were in White Diamond's room. He let go, breathing in deep as he sat on the side of White's bed. He looked up to see White in the flowing, clear dress he recognized. She sat with him on the bed, running her fingers through his black, puffy hair.
"Steven? I... I honestly didn't think that would work!"
She smiled brightly, Steven sitting up straight as he grinned back.
"Me neither!"
They hugged tenderly for a few moments, Steven feeling something warm and fuzzy inside him as he embraced White's gentle touch. He couldn't put his finger on it until he nuzzled his head against her belly and looked up at her smile.
This was love.
This was real, hopeful, caring, motherly love. This was a love that no one else had shown him ever since he was four. He slowly broke the hug and took White's hand, smiling back at her.
"I... Thank you... You're really nice..."
"You're welcome, Steven."
An idea began to form in Steven's head.
"Hey, what was that planet you said you were from?"
"Heh... Technically, I'm from this planet. But my home's a planet called Kizuju. And the best part? It's so out of the way, even the Diamonds have a hard time getting there. Not that they don't know where it us, but-"
"Can I go there?"
"Sure," White said as she stuck her palm out in the air. "Let's go there together."
A spacetime rift opened from the energy pulse White sent out, the two hopefully looking inside it.
There wasn't anything there.
Steven stared back at White, a look of confusion and anxiety on her face.
"Huh?"
She sent out another pulse. Still, nothing.
"Well... Maybe I made a mistake. Let's try it from another angle."
Another pulse, and this time the system's sun was in view. Nothing. White began to look scared as she reached into her bedside dresser and pulled out a cell phone.
"I'm so glad I didn't get rid of this thing," she mumbled as she tapped the screen a few times. Several seconds later, she sat back on the bed. The phone dropped from her hands. Her eyes were wide open in apparent shock before they began to water.
"...Damn it..."
She hugged Steven much more tightly than before, banging a closed fist on his back.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
She sobbed loudly over his head. Steven gazed over at the phone she dropped.
"Investigation into planet's mysterious destruction ongoing," read the headline in the center of the screen.
"Oh no," Steven said in a hush as he patted and rubbed her back. He knew. And he didn't have anything to say to make it better. What do you say to someone who's just lost not just their home, but their home's planet? He nuzzled her belly again, her sobbing growing quiet as they hugged it out for a few seconds more. Then, she swiftly broke the hug, a look of melancholic determination on her face as she sat on her knees in front of him.
"Steven? I have nothing left to give you... except..."
White pointed her fingers at the gem in her forehead. It looked like it was... loosening, somehow.
"You... deserve so much better..."
Her gem slowly slid out of its socket, her fingers psychokinetically doing all the work. Steven stared on in anxious terror. Then it popped out, a gem shaped hole in the middle of White's head. She exhaled deeply, smiling as she pushed the gem into Steven's forehead. The gem settled in Steven's forehead as she gripped the back of his head, smiling as wide as she possible could as the look set in on her face. The look he'd seen in TV and movies when someone was about to die. She kissed him on the lips for a short moment.
"Steven... I love..."
Her eyes rolled back into her head. Her figure collapsed into diamond dust on the floor. Steven was in a state of shock. He held his hand out towards where she was. His heart raced with raw fear.
"Uh... White... You can come out now..."
Silence.
Then his forehead began to burn.
"Ow... Ow! Nngh-! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH!"
The worst physical pain he had ever felt tortured every nerve in his body. His head felt like splitting in half. He grabbed at the gem, trying to pull it out as he felt it pulse, but the fiery pain made it hard to do anything other than lay there and scream. He heard the door opening over his screaming, faintly catching a glimpse of Connie through his fading vision.
"Steven? STEVEN!? STEVEN!... Oh my god..."
Without warning, he blacked out.
-
"Nnn, nnnnngh..."
"Steven?... He's waking up!"
Steven couldn't make out a thing of what he was seeing. His vision was a mess of grey, the solid objects in his field of view obscured by the blood vessels in the back of his eyes. His whole body felt tingly and fatigued. His face felt like it was going to melt off his head. But he didn't feel any pain in his forehead.
"Mom?... Am I dead?"
"What? No, sweetheart," he barely heard his mother say. "You, uh... You... You absorbed White's gem. You're White Diamond now."
"...uh... Uh-huh..."
Steven didn't have the energy to comprehend much of anything, let alone what his mother had just told him. He closed his eyes again, his legs spread and his arms at his sides. He did everything in his power not to soil himself as he heard his mother speak words of white noise to the crowd of cameras that had gathered. He looked around to see that he was back in the throne room of the Diamonds. All the other Diamonds and Crystal Gems were seated and standing around him.
"Thank you for coming," he heard Pink say. "Dismissed."
Steven gradually felt less and less like regurgitating his stomach contents as he watched the crowd of humans and gems pour into the elevator, one group at a time. His mother sat at his side, placing a hand against his forehead.
"You were out for a few minutes. I was starting to get scared that we'd lose you again... my Diamond."
Pink held him close, and she was soon joined by Connie, Blue Diamond, Amethyst, and all of the others... except Yellow, who angrily stared at him from her throne. He felt hands all over him from all directions as he sunk back and closed his eyes, falling asleep.
