A/N:

Heyo! I'm back with another update of ToT! School just got out for me so i'm free to work on this! I will try to update at least once a week from now on. Here's another chapter! Don't forget to R/R. I appreciate feedback. I do not own Steven Universe only my OC; all rights belong to Rebecca Sugar. (Is this the last chapters intro? XD)

Chapter 4

"Speech"

'Thoughts'

Other Stuff

Kevin POV

"Tell me who you are and what your motives are or you're not going to see tomorrow."

Shit.

I opened my eyes back up and saw Red standing over me gauntlets drawn and everything. "That's hot" I muttered. "What was that?!" Red asked annoyed. I sat up straight "I said, um, er, that's terrifyingggggggggggeeeeeeeeee…?" I said in the most convincing voice of all convincing voices.

"Uh huh" Red said not very convinced. "You still haven't answered me yet" She continued. 'Whelp here goes nothing' I thought. I then stood up, smoothed out the wrinkles in my clothes, and cleared my throat. "...I am your conscious." I proceeded to learn how sturdy a 2 by 4 is.

"I'm not joking around" She growled out. "And neither am I" I said. She raised a gloved hand. "Ok, Ok! calm down Red, sheesh" I muttered rubbing my head. "...Garnet" "Wha?" "My name. It's Garnet" "Ok Garnet, I'll tell you who and what my motives are. Take a seat" I said motioning to the couch. She regarded me for a minute before she shrugged and took a seat and dismissed her gauntlets.

"My name is Kevin 'Tanzanite' Terrence, I'm 18 years old, was abused since birth and live everywhere and nowhere."

Garnet looked at me startled when I said 'Tanzanite' or I thought she did she covered it pretty quickly and looked saddened by my other announcement. I continued "I came here since I am a gem hunter and was looking to squash some spiders I picked up off of the internet as my next stop." "We defeated those about three days prior to your arrival." Garnet said.

"We?" I questioned. "Yes, we. I am Garnet as you have just learned and I am the leader of the Crystal Gems. We fight to protect the earth from corrupted gems and live how we want."

"Ok, let me get this straight." I said. "You and other magical women fight for the Earth against the same things I have run across in the last 2 years?" "Yes." "That was pretty easy." I continued. "So why are you here exactly?" asked Garnet. "Well I just travel the world fighting those gem monsters that you talked about and destroy them more or less."

Garnet immediately summoned her gauntlets back into existence and grabbed me by the throat. "You destroy them?" She asked quietly. "Do you know that they were once like me? Or did you not think and crushed them underfoot?" "Need… air…" I choked out. She dropped me and punched me out the door.

Garnet POV

This thing just thinks he has the power to destroy so he just does? Well, i'm going to teach him otherwise. I jumped out the door frame and landed a few feet away from the boy. "Could I say somethi-" He never finished as I launched him into the air. "Can-" boom "we-" bang "talk-" he said before I punched him into the ground. "Ow"

I landed again and picked him up to launch him into the ocean. "STOP!" I turned and saw Steven running towards us along with Amethyst and Pearl. "Stop! This isn't right! What did he do?!" cried Steven. "He's destroyed gems!" I growled out. Pearl let out a gasp while Amethyst said 'oh snap'.

"I didn't know ok!" the boy said. "If I had what would I have done with them huh!" I dropped him, seeing that he had a point. As he fell his shirt tore in my hand and I saw a gem on this chest. I stepped back in shock recognizing that gem. It was a tanzanite gem. He took the opportunity to throw me into the beach as I layed there.

"If I could do something, then by all means, tell me what I did wrong" he said, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Bubble them!" "Steven no!" said Pearl but the boy took a sword from his gem and held it to Pearl. "Take another step and everyone will see what white powder looks on my fist" he growled. Pearl took a few steps back allowing him to walk towards Steven.

Kevin POV

I walked towards Steven and asked "What did you say?" "Bubble them." he said again. "What does that even mean?" He looked at the white lady again who looked like she would break down at any second. He turned back to me sheepishly. "I… really don't know how" Steven said nervously.

"Point proven" I announced.

I turned and started to walk away. "Well if that's it, then i'll leave you four alone" I stopped and turned to face them. "But get in my way I won't hesitate to end ALL of you" With that I turned and walked off the beach.

Later that night...

"Great. Just great" I sighed. My bike was towed it having a being in front of a pizza place. "Ha! Don't park your silly little bike in front of my shop!" screamed a dark skinned man dancing in victory. 'Now I need a job to get some money to get my bike back' I sighed again.

This town was proving to be more than its fair share of trouble since I got here. It was supposed to be a quick in and out job but now i'm basically stranded in a beach town.

I then remembered a little car wash that was hiring. It didn't pay good but i'll take it considering I need my bike back to go on the road again. I walked up to the office and knocked. I heard a man come out of a little nap and fell to the ground. I snorted in amusement.

The door then opened to greet me with a large man with really bad sun tan lines and a scraggly beard. He looked like a beach dude if he lost some weight. "Hi!" he greeted cheerfully. " Are you here for a wash?" I looked him up and down since I was a few inches taller. "Nah" I replied "I'm here for the job. I got my bike towed and spent the last of my money on some food so i'm broke right now so I need some money to get my bike and head off."

"Ah man that sucks" he replied with surprisingly genuine care. He looked at me again. "So I think you know you won't be paid well so it might take some time to earn up that money, son" I winced as he called me son. He must have noticed and said he calls a lot of the teens here in 'Beach City' son.

"It's ok" I said. "I'm in no rush" He perked up again. "Great! I can start you tomorrow!" I looked at him and asked something I thought I would never ask. "Do you, uh, have a place I could stay? I don't really have anywhere to call my own since i'm out of dough."

"Yeah! I got just the place!" he responded. "Oh, oh! Before I forget i'm Greg, Greg Universe, happy to meet you!" He stuck out his hand and I shook it. "You to" I said. "Here, follow me! I could put you with my son and his... guardians."

I didn't like the sound of the way he paused but I ignored it. "He's a great kid never had a problem with him in my life" I sighed wistfully. It must be nice having a father who loves you and treats you like he should.

Anyways, before I knew it we were at the house and he knocked. I became a little bit uneasy. " Hey Mr. Universe, this is great and all but I realized I already had a place to-." The door opened cutting me off and a figure stood there. "-stay… Heh, how's it going, Garnet?"

Oh boy, this is awkward…
