Steven rolled over onto his back as his consciousness gradually faded back in. His eyes gazed at the ceiling in emptiness. He recognized the pattern on the ceiling, where the walls and lights were, what color it was. He was back home. His eyes adjusted to the low light as he stood on his two feet. He shook his head, using the couch as support before looking around. Something was obviously wrong with the house. The normally vibrant colors were muted. The general state of the place looked dusty and decrepit. And outside the windows was a thick fog, which wasn't normal at all for the land around his house.
"Hello? Mom? Amethyst? Garnet? Anyone?"
Steven didn't get the faintest response. He felt an exhaustion like none other as he sat on the couch and grabbed the TV remote. The power button didn't work, although he expected that, given his surroundings. He tossed it on the coffee table, laying back and looking down. Then something hit him with full force. Something he had overlooked initially. His skin was a pure, radiant white. Staring at his hands in confused horror, he leapt off of the couch and ran upstairs.
Maybe this is just a dream, he thought. I'll get better if I sleep it off!
He sped towards the door to his room, gripping the handle for dear life as he jiggled it to no avail.
"Oh come on," he shouted aloud. "My room doesn't even have a lock!"
"Stop that."
Steven froze. The monotone voice of an older woman came from the other side of the door.
"You're disturbing me," it spoke again.
"What...? You're the one disturbing me, 'cause you're in my room!"
"This isn't your room."
"Yes it is!"
"I refer you to my previous answer."
"How is that not my room?"
"I don't have to answer all of your inane questions, do I?"
"Yes!"
"Oh?... Are you that important?"
Steven sighed as he sat against his door, his arms around his legs.
"C'mon, please?... Can you at least tell me why my skin's all white?"
The voice was silent, but Steven persisted.
"How about your name? My name's Steven. Can you tell me your name?"
The voice remained silent for several seconds before it spoke up again.
"I am no one. All I desire is a nexus."
"A nexus?... What's that?"
"A bridge between the two Yous."
"What are you talking about?"
He didn't get an answer.
"If I find you this, uh... nexus thingy," he continued, "will you let me inside?"
The house was quiet for a few seconds longer.
"I can't promise you," the voice said.
Then, Steven's head began to feel fuzzy. His fingers and toes went into spasms. He laid flat on the floor as his body began to shake.
"Malachite," the voice said before Steven's vision began to grey. "My name is Malachite."
-
Steven woke up in a dark room, his breathing hard as he sensed pins and needles throughout his extremities. He felt sweaty, clammy, and nauseous, and his forehead had a mild burning sensation.
"Nngh... Aaauuuuughhhh..."
He let out an agonized groan before he sensed chilly fingers running through his hair.
"Steven? I know you're not exactly doing alright, but... Can you speak to me?"
He recognized Blue's voice without fail.
"B... Blue?"
"Yes! Pink, come in here," she yelled, making the sensitive Steven wince. "He's back up!"
Pink opened the door and turned the light on, making Steven close his eyes for a second as they adjusted to the light. In no time, his mother was cuddling up with him on the bed, tears streaming down her face as she spoke in a hush.
"Stevie, my diamond... We're so glad to have you back."
"...Huh?" asked Steven with a confused look on his tired face. "I just went back to sleep."
"Blue, can you please leave?"
Without a word, Blue Diamond stood from the bed and exited the room. Pink held Steven close and tenderly as she continued.
"Stevie... Your gem..."
Pink was holding a mirror in her other hand. She held it up to Steven's face, his eyes springing to attention and moving straight to his forehead.
The gem was as black as night.
"What the-? That was white when I got it," he said.
"I know," Pink replied. "And the reason why it isn't now will sound real confusing to you."
"Why?"
Pink sighed as she held Steven close, kissing him on his new black gem.
"Because I need to do some explaining."
"About what?"
"I'll have to simplify it - so, Diamonds can manipulate positive and negative energies. For example, Blue and I can manipulate positive energies while Yellow and Green do the same with negative. Blue and I mend wounds and heal scars. Yellow and Green, eh... I assume you found out what happened to that one planet. That was Green's work."
"Connie destroyed a...? Why!?"
Pink's hand glowed bright as she touched his arm. Immediately, Steven felt at peace.
"Sorry about that... I don't want to go down that rabbit hole right now. So, the problem with your gem is that you're based around negative energies, but... Her gem is a positive energy gem. And none of us can fix that because none of us have ever seen anything like this in Gem history."
She took her hand off of him and reclined along with him in bed.
"So... That's the short version. I don't have time for the long version."
"Huh? Why not?"
Steven's eyes narrowed as he watched his mother reach for her top, undoing it in front of him.
"Because you made me a promise," she spoke in a stern hush. "And I intend to keep it."
"N... No, mom, I can't-"
"Yes. You. Can. Your gem's malfunctioning, but everything else about you isn't."
Steven gulped as he preemptively began taking his clothes off. His mother was here. And it wasn't the mother she pretended to be to everyone else. This was the mother who would take him down to the green room after a rough day at work and film them playing games. The mother who would walk into his room after dark and touch him. The mother who smiled and touched herself as she watched his girlfriend violate him. The mother who once screamed at him to fuck her before he could even comprehend what that word meant. That was the Pink Diamond that Steven knew.
"Now," Pink said as she removed the last of her clothes, "every good empire has a royal bloodline. And I want the Quartz' royal bloodline to be the longest and purest."
Steven was too scared to make a comment as he laid flat on the bed, his legs spread and his arms at his sides as he stared up at his looming mother. She ran a hand across his belly and thighs, gazing at him with a contemptuous lust.
"So, for our bloodline to be both of those things... I think you know what we have to do. You understand how babies are made, right?"
Steven nodded his head, his gaze betraying his lie. Pink saw through it, frowning.
"Of course you don't. Well, then, it's time for a firsthand lesson."
Pink's hand emitted an aura once more as she gripped Steven, sending him into a light numbness as she mounted him, beginning the act of intercourse. Steven's head spun, feeling something bubbling up inside him as the minutes passed. He sensed the insertion, the penetration, the juices, the... everything. But it was all second to this strange crackling feeling. Then the numbness ended as her aura faded from her hand. She then gripped his arms with both hands, forcing herself onto him with a ferocity he hadn't seen since their first time.
"Damn it, Steven... If only that... stupid bitch didn't..."
She laid on top of him, her hips bucking forward, forcing him inside her as she wrapped her arms around his comparably small body and head with ease. His face was forced into her lower chest as she pumped away, her hips slamming against his. Crackles of black electricity shot out from his hands, making Pink grumble and curse under her breath.
"Oh, no, you don't..."
Her hands glowed again and soon Steven was back to numbness, although the effect wasn't nearly as powerful as energies compounded inside him. His mother looked angrier and angrier as he felt less and less numb. Her aura flared up, its intense light the brightest thing in the room as she latched herself onto him. But even her maximum power wasn't enough to keep Steven entranced. Gradually, he raised his hands up to his mother's arms, looking her in her unnaturally furious eyes.
"S- stop... Stop, mom..."
Pink's aura flared down as small bursts of lightning shot from his gem and fingertips. Pink's teeth clenched, she gave one more push against him, then got off, fluids leaking from between her legs. She got off the bed and began to put her clothes back on.
"Fine. I got what I wanted anyways. But the second you get that... thing sorted out, we're doing this again. And you won't disobey your mother when that time comes."
The door slammed shut. Steven was alone again, his consciousness beginning to fade. He was too separated from any emotion to have any reaction to what had just happened. Electricity sparking from his fingertips, his vision blurred into blackness as he lost consciousness again.
-
"Malachite?"
"You're back."
"Yeah, I am..."
"Do you have a nexus?"
"No."
"Then we have nothing to talk about."
"But we do," Steven said. "I need someone to talk to, Malachite."
"You don't want to talk to me," the voice replied. "I've done terrible things, Steven."
"Well then I'll just talk to you. How about that?"
The voice didn't answer back, not like he expected it to.
"Okay, here goes... I think my mom hates me. I think she hates me because I'm not a gem like her. She always called me her little gem, her little diamond, this and that. Never her little human, or her little homo sapien, or whatever gems call us. And this whole stuff with my new gem... My gem isn't working. And I can tell that mom hates that. Even worse is when-"
"Steven," the voice replied, "I have a... surprise for you. It's about your mother."
"Oh, really? Well, I don't feel like talking to you," Steven said as he crossed his arms and looked away.
"Look at the end of the hall," the voice spoke. Steven closed his eyes.
"Nope, nuh-uh, not gonna look, 'cause I've done some non-specific bad things that I won't elaborate on."
Steven kept his composure for a whole six seconds before opening his eyes and slowly turning towards the door at the end of the hall.
"Well... Maybe just a tiny peek..."
He got up and walked towards the door, opening it up. In front of him was a massive, dark blue and black void. His eyes widened as he stuck a hand out.
"Woah..."
Without having to consciously think about what he was doing, his hand entered the void, the space rippling like a stone tossed in a pond before he stepped forward, arms wide open and fell into the expanse.
--Five years after the Universe Concordat--
"It's so good to see you!"
"I know, right!? And before you ask - Steven's coming along just fine."
"Wow, really?"
"Yup! Last year, he told me himself how much he wanted to..."
The voice of his mother became indecipherable gibberish as he hid behind one of the cherry blossom trees, the thin trunk woefully inadequate for covering his figure.
"So," Blue said, "about the... You know what?"
"You can just say it, Blue. It's not like anyone's watching us."
"I dunno, it just feels so weird to say it out loud."
"Heheh... Hey, everyone! Me and Blue wanna curb-stomp the peace treaty and make a new Diamond Authority! Anyone wanna come blast us to smitheroons?"
Blue looked aghast as Pink mischevously smirked back at her.
"I... I believe the correct term is smithereens, Pink..."
"Ooh, has someone been learning some human lingo?"
"N- No! I, just... I just like watching old timey human films..."
"Old timey? You mean pre-gem human films?"
"You... Shut up," Blue said with a smile. Then their conversation seemed to fast forward for several seconds, Steven externally confused and internally cringing at what he had just seen.
That's what they used to be like?... They're so dorky!
Then the conversation began to play normally again, Steven listening in closely.
"Then, once Steven has his gem, I'll fix his flawed human hardwiring and replace it with our own."
"Fascinating. Next, will you wring your hands and tell me about how you'll dominate the galaxy with an army of inbred super children? Because I'd be perfectly happy with one child, if I were you!"
"Hah hah, very funny. But seriously, have you seen the results of human inbreeding? If I don't fix those genetic bugs before we start mating, then our kids be so genetically disadvantaged that they'll actually believe that Steven's dad was killed because of cross-colony tension!"
"A lot of humans must be inbred, then!"
The two laughed out loud as Steven stepped out from the tree, an eyebrow raised in suspicion.
What? he thought. Then how did dad die?
"What was the idiot's first name?" Pink asked. "I can't even remember, he's so irrelevant. I'll definitely have to drop the Universe from Steven's name once our Authority is reinstated."
Cherry blossom petals grazed past Steven as he clenched his fists, trudging towards his mother.
"You're talking about my DAD!"
"Y'know," Blue said without even noticing Steven, "watching you talk about our Authority's return warms my heart. You have such a passion for it, and you look so happy, too! I haven't seen you this happy since your first time with Steven... Or when he was born... Or when you blasted a hole through his dad's back!"
"That escalated quickly!" Pink said with a hearty chuckle.
"I know it did, I was there! Ahahahahah!"
Steven's pupils shrunk. He dropped to his knees.
"You... You killed my dad?... You killed my dad..."
Black lightning shot from his arms and legs, and white energy began to gather in his palms as tears streamed down his face.
"You killed my dad... You killed my dad..."
He put his hands together before raising them above his head, aiming at the oblivious pair.
"YOU KILLED MY DAAAAAAAAD!"
He threw the volatile power ball at them, his thoughts entirely focused on revenge and malice as-
-
In an instant, he was back in front of the door to his room, his hands against the door as he slammed his open palms against it. But the physical pain of hitting his hands on the door was nothing compared to the pain what he had just seen. He was on his knees again, banging his fists against the door as he began to sniffle.
"My... My dad's dead... And my mom killed him..."
He fell to the floor and curled up in a ball.
"Why... Why did you show me that?..."
"I'm sorry," Malachite responded, her monotonous voice showing a rare glimpse of emotion as Steven cried on the floor. "I can't imagine how badly it hurt for you to hear that."
Steven remained on the floor, rocking himself as he cried his loudest, unable to speak.
"I... I'm very sorry," Malachite continued. "But I had to show you that."
Steven looked up at the door.
"Go away... I wish White never gave me her gem..."
Then he noticed the doorknob was glowing with a radiant black. Still sniffling and sobbing, he stood up and examined the handle.
"W- wha- what's..."
"Touch it," Malachite spoke. "The pain you feel is just your biggest weakness leaving your body. Touch the handle, and your weakness - your pain - will fuel your strength."
"...That didn't help at a-a-all!"
Malachite didn't answer back. Fine, Steven thought. He wiped a tear from his drying eyes and reached out towards the handle, grabbing it tightly. He waited for some searing pain to spike through his body after several seconds until, suddenly, a black energy began pulsing up his hand, then up his arm. His veins seemed to be pumped full of tar, contrasting with his radiant, white skin as he felt the energy surge through him. And just like that, he began to feel fuzzy again.
-
"Nngh!! NNNNNNGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!"
Steven's emotions were overflowing as he burst into an explosion of raw, uncontrolled negative energy. Deep blackness surrounded his vision, his entire body emitting powerful waves of energy. It felt so liberating, so alleviating to completely destroy his surroundings with pure emotional power while-
Hey... I feel someone else's energy... No, it's mom's energy... And who else!?
Steven's outburst quickly died down, and he soon saw why nothing in his vicinity was being destroyed. All the Diamonds and Crystal Gems had surrounded him, his body and energy contained by an ultra-powerful barrier. He soon descended, not in a gravity way, but in a gently, floating way, onto White's bed. The barrier dissipated. The Crystal Gems looked completely wiped out - Peridot even fell to the floor. But the Diamonds were mostly unfazed... Except for Connie, who was smiling.
"See that? That was my idea," she said. "That's payback for White doing the same to us."
Now Steven was emotionally and physically drained. He laid on the bed, exhausted as his mother, Blue, and Amethyst rushed to his side. He quickly sat up, despite it physically hurting to even move his fingers.
"Aaaagh... Mom?" Steven asked. "I wanna... Owww... I wanna... ask you something about dad."
"Your dad?... Shoot."
"What happened to him?"
Pink looked around.
"Should I tell him the truth?"
Steven saw everyone else nod. Pink sighed as she put a hand on Steven's back.
"I killed him... Now, don't get TOO mad. It was the only way to end the hostilities between gems and humans without a large scale war that we would have easily won while killing millions of equally good humans. I would have killed him a hundred times for the exact same reasons... But that was ten years ago. And a lot can change someone in ten years. Now, the foundations for our Authority are even stronger than the first one. Our New Authority will last a million years!"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he thought as Pink continued her spiel of meaningless platitudes. But Steven wasn't angry anymore. Instead, he had accepted the truth about his father. He wasn't any less upset over it, but he wasn't angry anymore. It took him a few seconds to realize something: his anger had been pushed out along with his negative energy. Then, suddenly, his mother paused mid sentence. Amethyst leaned over, looking at the front of his face.
"Woah... Steven, your gem! It's grey now!"
Everyone gathered around to see, and sure enough, Steven's gem was a hazy, smoky grey. He blushed as everyone's eyes were trained on his gem.
"Uh... I... I don't know any good one-liners. Sorry."
