--The next day--

"Maheswaran?"

"Yes, teacher?"

"Interrogation chambers. Now."

"Yes, teacher."

Connie scratched her previous plan of seeing Steven and went down to the third floor of the Diamond Palace, the place formerly reserved for prisoners and the "disappeared" during the old Authority. The first of many interrogation chambers was right in front of her, preceding rows and rows of similar doors. She entered the chamber to find Yellow Diamond on the other side of the interrogation room and seated in the interrogator's seat, her legs crossed. Connie sat in the interrogated's seat, Yellow spacing off at the wall. Connie looked a bit confused.

"So... What's up? Wanna talk about the weather?"

Yellow held out her hand, energy gathering into a ball in her palm. Connie raised an eyebrow.

"That's positive energy. What's going on, teacher?"

"Maheswaran... You are now the third Diamond to know this. This energy is a coalescence of my primitive urges. And this one's at least twice as large as the last time I had to do this."

"Primitive urges?... What do you mean?"

Yellow's ball of light got slightly bigger as she grimaced.

"Unlike you and the others, I see no good reason to... devalue our forms by subjecting ourselves to the filthy, poorly-designed reproductive system your primitive species has. But sometimes the desire to make the decision Blue and Pink have is so tempting. I... I hate that Steven Quartz Universe. I hate him for being the only good reason for distorting my flawless anatomy."

"...You're mad at Steven because makes you horny? But we've literally sent you photos and videos of-"

"THAT WASN'T THE SAME. That was entertainment, watching his and his mother's stupid faces contort as they mated! Now that I've seen Steven for myself..."

She clenched her teeth as she thrust the light ball into Connie's hands.

"Dispose of it. Or use it for yourself."

Yellow pulled her hands back and got up from her seat.

"Now, I'm setting up a meeting with our mutual friend. Feel free to join once you've dealt with that."

"Will do."

Connie exited the room and called the elevator, a mischevous grin developing on her face as she took it back up to the throne room. Blue Diamond was up and seated in the throne in the center, stretching and yawning as Connie walked up to her.

"Ah... Hello, Green."

"Where's Steven?"

"He's still in bed. Is that light orb what I think it is?"

"Yes."

"Are you going to use it with Steven?"

"Yes."

"Well... Don't let me keep you."

Connie gave Blue a wink as she walked behind the throne and accessed White Diamond's personal chambers, the dark room partially illuminated by Yellow's energy ball. Connie tried not to disturb the sleeping Steven as she crawled onto the bed and grabbed his hand. Then, she pushed the orb into Steven's hand, his diamond crackling with electricity as his hand seemed to absorb the ball. She could see the energy course through his veins and up to his cloudy grey gem, making it shine. Connie was definitely intrigued - but that wasn't the reason she was here. She began to shake Steven, hoping to rouse him.

"Steven... Hey, Steven, get up... Steven?... Steveeen?... Eh, fuck it."

-

Steven was back in the darkened Beach House once more. Coming to his senses after the initial grogginess wore off, he immediately knew where to go. He walked up the stairs and knocked on the door to his room.

"Malachite? Are you there?"

He didn't get an answer. Instead, the doorknob took on a bright white glow.

"Uh... You want me to touch it, right?"

"YES," Malachite's monotonous voice boomed from the other side. Steven grabbed the doorknob without hesitation, instantly sensing the energy pulsing throughout his body. It lasted for a very brief time, though, as the doorknob soon reverted back to its original state. Steven took his hand off of the doorknob and stared at his hand as white electricity crackled from it. He knew what it was, but he was confused and almost annoyed by it.

"I... I don't understand! You disappear for, like, a week, and then suddenly you-"

"Steven," Malachite calmly interrupted, "as the saying goes, I literally had nothing to work with. All this time, I've been waiting for the tiniest fraction of the smallest modicum of positive energy, but there was none. Whatever energy was given to you, that was more than enough."

"More than enough for what?"

"More than enough to bring you one step closer to becoming White Diamond."

Steven was stunned by her answer. He started to put something together.

"Malachite? Are you... Were you White Diamond?"

Malachite didn't respond for almost a minute.

"That doesn't matter," she finally replied. "What matters is the nexus."

"Why? Will that turn me into White Diamond? What if I don't wanna be White Diamond?"

"I'm sorry, Steven. But you don't choose to be a Diamond. You become one."

"But... But I don't wanna be White Diamond..."

Malachite didn't answer back. Steven sat at the foot of the door to his room, sighing as he felt himself fade away.

"Thanks a lot."

-

Steven woke up in White Diamond's room, feeling slimy and nauseous as he forced himself out of bed. His mind was in a fog as he hastily put some clothes on and stumbled out the door.

"Ah, it's my love!" he heard Blue exclaim. "I'm glad to see you up and abo-"

She paused mid sentence once she saw Steven. She rose from White's throne and fell to her knees in front of him, caressing his cheek as his glazed eyes barely followed her.

"Steven... Your gem..."

She unexpectedly kissed him on the lips, waking Steven up as her tongue invaded his mouth. She quickly pulled back, making him cough. The normally somber Blue was beaming with happiness, tearing up as she blushed.

"Steven... My Diamond... You've finally done it!"

"*cough! cough!* D- done what?"

"You're White Diamond now!"

"...What? No, I'm not! I-"

Blue held her hand out, a mirror materializing in her hand. She held it up to Steven, allowing him to see why she was so excited. The gem in his forehead wasn't grey anymore. Now it was a radiant, pure white, its shine rivaling that of its previous owner. Blue took back the mirror and held his hands.

"Now... Show me. Show me your power, my Diamond."

"What? What power?"

"You know..."

"I really don't!"

"Just hold your hands out and let it come to you, my love."

Steven nodded and closed his eyes, concentrating on his energies as he held his hands out, just as she said. In seconds, a large, black power ball ballooned in his left hand.

"Yes," Blue spoke in an excited hush. "Now, the other one. Think of everything you like, everything you love, and channel that into your hands!"

Steven had very, very little to think of. White electricity crackled at his hand as he concentrated hard on something, anything he could say he truly loved.

I... I love Connie... I love my mom... I guess I kinda love Blue... C'mon, work, please!... Okay, that's not working... Uh... I like... I like my friends back at school...

A small orb of white energy rose from his right palm. Blue's eyes widened as she sat back.

"You... You're doing it, my love..."

Steven stared at the small orb he had just created, the mediocre light providing a small ray of hope.

Yes! Yes, that worked! Uh... Ok, I... I really liked Garnet and Lars!

The energy ball grew much larger as it floated above his hand, growing as large as the black power ball. Blue applauded as Steven went back to thinking.

And i- I think I- I think I loved White Diamond!... In a mom way, not... Not in a mom way, either, but-!

The white orb eclipsed the black orb in size. Steven and Blue stared at it, awestruck, before Blue laid her hands on both the orbs. They dissipated into nothing, leaving Steven speechless as Blue hugged him tightly.

"Go show Connie," she whispered to him. "She'll be so happy to know that it worked."

"What worked?"

"She'll tell you, my love! She's on the third floor, first door."

Blue gave Steven a kiss on his gem before sending him off.

"Hurry! I can feel my cravings for you building, my Diamond!"

Steven rushed towards the elevator, quickly hitting the third floor button as he could see Blue crawling towards him. The door shut. The elevator went down. Steven sat against the elevator wall, sighing in relief, feeling drained.

*ding*

The elevator door opened to what looked like a row of doors, almost like what he saw back on the rebel ship. He could tell by the muffled shouting where Yellow was - which likely meant Connie was there, too. Steven stepped into a room to see an interrogation chamber not unlike the one he saw back on the rebel ship, albeit slightly smaller. In front of him was a table filled with buttons and switches, a pair of headphones in the left corner, as well as a window that peered into the proper interrogation room. Yellow and Connie were inside the room, as well as a strange, bald human that Steven had never seen before. The man's legs were tied to the chair, his hands held together in a stance of prayer. Against his better judgement, Steven took the headphones and put them on.

"My Diamond," the bald man said in a thick Slavic accent, his fear audible in his voice. "I've pledged my entire life to you. I've done everything I've asked of you since-"

"Oh for... We've been through this twenty times now, Ashami!" shouted Yellow as she rolled her eyes. "You fail us once, you fail us a hundred times over!"

"I understand! But I didn't account for-"

"You didn't account for the failed experiment!? How could you not!?"

"I... I figured that the virus my second-in-command crafted would-"

"Clearly it didn't!"

"Teacher," Connie interrupted. "If I may?"

Yellow clenched her fists. Steven removed the headphones and ducked under the table as Yellow stormed out of the chamber, slamming the door to the room shut. He heard the elevator moving, a sign to put the headphones back on and watch what Connie was doing. The man was crying.

"Hey, hey," Connie said in a soft, comforting tone as she pat him on the shoulder. "You just caught Yellow on one of her bad days. She's left now. Now... I just wanna know. Why didn't you make a contingency for the failed experiment?"

"I... I did, my Diamond..."

"You did?... Let me guess. Was it the... mysterious heart attack that claimed the leader in Beach City?"

"Yes. I administered it myself, my Diamond."

"But you didn't give it to the rest of his team?"

"No... No, I only had enough energy for each of the leaders... I genuflect beneath your authority, my Diamond!-"

"Calm down," Connie said as she opened a portal behind the man. "Your men are here... These are your men, right?"

"Ashami?" Steven heard a man with a British English accent ask through the portal, although he couldn't see into it, as it was to the side. He heard a minor commotion from the portal as Connie waved her hand.

"You don't have to kneel. I just want to give my friend a drink. He's been here for a while now."

"Basayev!" the Englishman shouted. "Diamond's orders! Drinks! NOW!"

Steven was heavily confused by the entire perplexing scene.

What the heck is Connie doing? Why are they talking about the bad guy in Beach City who died? Who are-

Then he started to put something together.

If... If this guy made the bad guy in Beach City die from a heart attack, and if they're talking about... They're talking about Lars. They're talking about the terrorist attacks... No. No, they can't be working together to hurt people!

"Here, my Diamond," said the Englishman from the other side of the portal. "Water, soft drinks, and alcohol."

"Thank you."

Connie took a brown paper bag from the portal and laid the drinks out on the table. 'Ashami' looked nervous, sweat dripping onto his thick beard as Connie crossed her arms behind her back.

"Relax," she spoke softly. "Take something."

Quickly, 'Ashami' took the soft drink, popping the top and taking huge gulps of it. He stopped drinking, catching his breath as some of the drink trickled down his beard.

"I thank you... I thank you, my Diamond... I... I really thought-"

"Aw, don't be so scared," Connie said with a smile, holding an arm out and making a finger-gun. "What's the worst a girl like me could do to you? Heheh!"

Soon enough, nervous laughter came from the man, and then from the portal. Connie laughed along, seemingly fine.

"Heheh, ahahahahah! It's funny! Laugh, laugh!"

Then a green energy gathered in her fingertip. Everyone stopped laughing. 'Ashami' began pleading in his native tongue before Steven covered his eyes. He heard a zap, then a kick and a thud.

"Come here, Sadiq," Connie softly spoke after a moment of silence. A man came forward from the portal, dropping to his knees, almost as if he were praying to her.

"My Diamond," he whispered, "I pledge my allegiance, my being, my very soul towards your Authority. I swear to hold up the tenants of our new rulers and to prepare all humans for the colonization. I swear-"

"I understand," Connie whispered back as she put a hand on the man's shoulder. "My advice for you?"

A green and black power ball gathered in her open hand.

"Give some of this to all your men, all your women, all your Gems, all your contacts. Anyone who even touches the rebel scum will be a martyr for our cause... And don't be as stingy with it as he was. Humans don't need as much as us gems do. Oh, and by the way... consider yourself promoted."

She pushed the man back through the portal, then closed it. Steven hung up the headphones, racing out of the room, almost jamming his finger on the elevator button. He had only seconds to react before Connie would emerge from the room. Quickly, he positioned himself against the wall next to the door, forcing a poker face. Connie stepped out right on time.

"BOO!"

"AAAH!... Oh... Steven..."

Connie cracked a smile as the elevator arrived.

"What're you doing down here?"

"Blue said to come and see you. She told me to show you-"

Then Connie's eyes caught Steven's gem. Immediately, her expression turned to one of excitement.

"Are you serious!? That's awesome! We've gotta show everyone else!"

Connie dragged Steven onto the elevator, pressing the top button. The doors closed.

"Hey, Steven? How long were you there?"

"Oh, like, a minute."

Steven lied through his teeth. And he was surprised Connie didn't see it, or at least call it out.
