I will be the first to admit that this chapter is largely a cool down from the ridiculousness that has been the past 3 (4? 5?!) chapters of this fic. theres some plot stuff, some healing, Blue Pearl and Domina get to interact so thats pretty freaking cool. As is such this chapter is a bit short but I'm also working on another project you guys should keep an eye on, especially if your into Connieswap...

Enjoy the chapter! See you Friday!

Flying one handed was difficult, Domina had done it before but experience didn't make it any easier. Thankfully after the ship jumped to hyperspeed she could set it on auto pilot and stumble back to where Pearl kept the medical supplies.

"Is this a Light Kite engine?" Yellow Diamond shouted from the engine bay. Domina rolled her eyes as she searched for one of the healing casts.

"It's been modified to compensate for the additional weight but yes." She called back. She ripped the package open with her teeth, ignoring the looks of horror she was getting from the Pearls who had sequestered themselves out of the way.

"You can't just shove a Light Kite engine in a Drop Ship pod. Between this and the Roaming eye guidance system, What were you even thinking White!" Yellow emerged from the back of the ship to stare down at Domina seated on what was usually Pearl's bed, medical supplies piled around her.

"I was thinking, 'Oh Cool this is going to be able to go really fast, and hold all the fracking things I need to be able to care for my fracking stupid flesh body and isn't shaped like a fracking head!'" Domina slid the pink cuff over her arm, sliding it down to the portion where her arm had fractured, then squeezed lightly to activate it. It immediately constricted tightly, forcing her arm straight.

Domina screamed, her free hand coming up to cover her mouth too late. The pain receded a few milliseconds later as the analgesic entered her system. Domina looked up at Yellow Diamond who was now also looking at her in horror. "Now, any other questions?" She asked as calmly as possible.

"Where are we going?" Yellow Diamond asked after a moment. Domina got to her feet and moved to the ships console.

"The Crystal system, speaking of which I need to make sure that we're not going to get smacked out of orbit, again." She said.

"Oh we are going to get to have that conversation after all." Yellow said dryly

"I knew you were looking forward to it." Domina said, she brought up the call system then after a moment's thought, angled herself to avoid having yellow or the Pearls in the background of the call.

Peridot answered,looked momentarily relieved when she saw it was Domina, then hesitant.

"White Diamond, I was not expecting you to contact me." She said. Out of the corner of her eye Domina could see a look of realization dawn on Yellow Diamond's face.

"Well some.. Unplanned things arose, Nice to see you again 5XG."

"I um, heard from Steven that you and him did not part on the best of terms during his trip to homeworld."

"That's one way of putting it, Is-" Domina began

"Woah Peridot is that Domina!?" Steven's voice came from the other side of the transmission. Domina felt her face go slightly red.

"Er, yes" Peridot moved to the side and Steven sat down next to her.

"Hey Domina did you get my messages?" Steven asked.

"I did, I've been busy" Domina said glancing away from the screen again, Yellow Diamond was staring at the screen, and her with an incredulous expression. "Hey Steven, Somethings have come up and I promise I'll explain when we get there."

"Wait we?"

"I'll explain later, can you let Garnet know we'll be there in about two hours, and please don't let Lapis smack us out of the atmosphere, again."

"Uh.. yeah, sure? Is everything alright?" Steven asked

"To be honest no." Domina said.

"Oh.. ok sorry um..Pink will be happy to see you." Steven said. Domina's heart ached for a moment and she bit her lip.

"I'm not so sure about that but I guess we'll see." Domina forced a smile Steven gave her a weak one in return.

"See you in two hours!"

"See you in two hours." Domina said and ended the call. The screen collapsed leaving Yellow Diamond and both pearls staring at her.

"Talk." Yellow Diamond said through gritted teeth. "Now."

"Did you really not know anything about this?" White Diamond's voice jolted Blue Pearl out of her thoughts. They were alone in the cockpit of this highly unconventional ship. Yellow Diamond and her pearl had retreated to the rear of the ship, Yellow Pearl hadn't been particularly pleased to be pulled away but really there was nothing to be done about that. Honestly Blue Pearl had thought that White Diamond had been asleep.

"No, I did not Your Brilliance." Blue Pearl said. White Diamond sighed and gestured to the other seat in the cockpit, indicating that Blue Pearl should sit down.

"Please, call me Domina, or at least White Diamond, I hate that title." She grumbled. Blue Pearl hesitantly sat. She had never actually interacted much with Pink's diamond. All she had to go off about the Diamonds personality out side of the meetings with the other two diamonds, was descriptions from Pink and Yellow. Neither 'New made Ruby' nor 'Overly friendly Feldspar' really seemed to particularly fit at this moment.

"As you wish... Domina." Blue pearl said judging the Diamonds expression. Her face was bruised and she had dark circles under her eyes, she certainly didn't look imposing or harsh. Domina simply smiled in return.

"Thanks," She said, then hesitated. "I haven't asked Yellow, er Yellow Pearl that is, Did you know about..." Domina looked away from her uncomfortably, then sighed. "About Pink? What she was doing." Blue Pearl took her time with responding. She knew of both Jet's and Pinks opinion of Domina. Then again she also knew that there wasn't that much of the 'New Rebellion' left. White Diamond certainly wasn't in a position to harm any part of it, other that Blue Pearl herself and she had already shown herself to be reluctant on that part.

"Yes. I am the one that involved her in this." She said. Domina blinked surprised.

"You? Really?"

"Yes."

"Wow... How long?" The Diamonds tone was not accusatory, simply curious

"Several thousand years, around the time you first came to homeworld I believe. Do not blame her for-"

"I'm not blaming anyone." Domina said cutting her off, Blue Pearls mouth snapped shut and she frowned in distaste. She did not appreciate being interuppted. "I just.. Well maybe I'm blaming myself, I wish I could have..." Domina glanced back at the back of the ship and dropped her voice. "I would have helped if she asked," Blue Pearl stared at White diamond for a long moment from behind her bangs.

"You would have... helped?" She asked.

"If I could have.. I..." Domina shook her head. "Never mind, I'm being stupid, anyway, it's in the past. When did you learn to summon a weapon?"

"Centuries ago." Blue Pearl said, thousands of years of being left to her own devices led to her learning to do all sorts of things.

"And you could do it through Blue's" Domina frowned and shook her head "that's going to get confusing fast. Anyway you could summon it even with Blue Diamond's Aura, thats impressive. I couldn't even think straight."

"It has lost it's affect on me." Blue Pearl said flatly. Domina turned her attention back to the screen and seemed to think it over for a few moments.

"Well that's good."

"Not really. Being unable to feel emotions is not...pleasant."

"Oh. I'm sorry." Domina said quickly. Blue Pearl smiled, a tiny smile where Yellow or Pink might have laughed, it was ridiculous, a Diamond apologizing to a pearl.

"You are not to blame Domina." She said. Domina may have responded but at that moment they dropped out of Hyperspeed and the Earth came in to view. Yellow Diamond returned to the cockpit, Blue Pearl reclaimed her position next to Yellow Pearl, as they braced themselves for arrival on earth.
