The CIA headquarters, September 24, 1988
A few men and women are in a room when someone comes up with new information.
"AGENTS!" he shouted.
"What is it?" one of them asked. She was named Isabel Kennedy, a high-ranking female agent of the organization.
"I found something you need to know," the man continued. His name is Stanford Carter, one of the agency's best men for gathering new information and alerting the agency about it.
"Does it have to do with mutants?" asked a man named Christopher Watkins, the number one agent of the CIA during 1988. The agency learned about mutants and researched on them. But what they didn't know up until this moment, was that there were other beings as powerful as mutants.
"No," Carter began, "it has to do with another kind of beings."
With that said, he handed the three beings an image of four figures. One of them was big with a white dress, and had lots of pink, curly hair. Another one was pale white, with pointed hair, something on her head, and she sported a blue outfit. Another of the four was a purple being with white hair, and black-green-purple clothing. The final one was brownish-reddish colored, somewhat muscular, and wore shades, with a shirt-like outfit that had some kind of bolt on it.
"They're called the Crystal Gems," Carter continued, "a race of extraterrestrial beings that rebelled against their leaders for the safety of the planet Earth."
"How are they like mutants?" Kennedy asked.
"We'll have to investigate," Watkins answered.
"We'll do the same thing," they heard a British voice say. They all turned to notice a man in a wheelchair with long black hair. With him is a man with short hair. The three agents recognized them, and were very familiar with them as their friends.
"Charles Xavier? Erik Lehnsheer?" Kennedy asked, "what are YOU two doing here."
"We heard about you talking about the Crystal Gems," Charles continued, "I plan to investigate on them MYSELF."
"That leaves us as investigators, but with their own methods," Watkins said.
"Guess we'll be seeing you then," Lehnsheer said.
"And may there be peace between gems, humans, and mutants," Charles said.
With that that, the two men left. Once they were at the X-Mansion, everyone in their on locations began investigating on the Crystal Gems, especially spying on them with their gifts. Charles used telepathy to know everything about their missions, Greg and Rose in a relationship, Rose Quartz giving up her physical form to give birth to Steven, Steven getting used to his powers, the encounters with corrupted gems, the fusions, the freeing of Lapis Lazuli, the discovery of Peridot, Homeworld's invasion led by Jasper, Malachite coming along, Connie, the Kindergarten, the Cluster, Alexandrite vs Malachite, Roaming Eyes, the Great Diamond Authority, etc. So did the CIA, and the three agents, through working with the NSA on spying on those events using satellites in space. This has gone on for many years, up until now.
In the X-Mansion, Charles is on his mainframe in his wheelchair, gathering the latest ideas on how they can create new members of the Crystal Gems, and how they can help the Gems and the mutants adapt to each other's powers in regards to weapon summoning, unless mutants like Beast don't need weapons.
Behind Charles are a series of holographic screens displaying all equations regarding what makes the Gems tick. A man wearing glasses came in, named Hank McCoy, a mutant who's mutant name is Beast.
"Charles," Hank said.
"Hank," Charles responded.
"It's been many years since we first heard of the Crystal Gems, and everything related," Hank began, "How can we get them to come here?"
"That information is still unknown," Charles answered, "We'll figure something out. However, I have plans for the Cluster."
"What is it?" Hank asked.
"The CIA, with help from me and Erik, are going to use technology and powers to split the Cluster back into a series of shards that will be gathered by us and taken back to the surface," Charles began.
"Wow," Hank said in amazement.
"Then," Charles continued, "we will scan the shards to know which pieces go with which pieces, sort them out like that using shards, then dump the shards in batches of a concoction created out of retrieved gem energy, regenerative stem cells, captured traces of saliva from the one called Steven, and the DNA you and the other mutants volunteered to give to me for my concoction."
"This keeps getting weirder," Hank commented.
"The concoctions will fix the pieces back together," Charles moved on, "Once the process is completed, the gems that were shattered before the creation of the Cluster, the gem shards Steven once dropped that lead to the formation of the Secret Team, and the shards we created from shattering the Cluster prototypes, as well as broken and corrupted gems like the Centipeetle, which was retrieved a team of intelligence legion members and mutants from the Burning Room when Steven and his friends were gone, since they don't check it much, will be healed. The gems will then leap out of the batch holders and take on their new forms."
"I wonder how the other mutants would react," Hank replied.
"They'll be witness of the experiment," Charles responded.
'Okay then," Hank began, "I'll wait with the other mutants until the experiment is ready."
With that said, he left the room.
A few minutes later, Lehnsheer came in to tell Charles that the retrieval of the Cluster gems is about to begin. The two men then left and headed for a drill that would take them to the Cluster.
