11. Entry 11: Steven Universe

*Entry #11: Steven Universe

I couldn't believe what I had learned about the only child in the team. Steven Universe is the newest to the Crystal Gems because of her mother, Rose Quartz. Apparently, Rose herself fell in love with Steven's father, Greg Universe, despite his many quirks, making Steven a half-Gem/half-human hybrid. But in order to give birth to Steven, Rose had to give up her physical form and implant her gem into him. After fourteen years, the kid has proven to be very useful to the team. It was hard for the others to get over what Rose did and learn to care for Steven the way he is, but they eventually learned to love him as they loved Rose. Over time, Steven's been able to develop some of Rose's legendary powers, such as materializing her shield, healing anyone or anything (via his saliva rather than her tears), floating, making a protective bubble around him, and her ability to care for others. He's been learning a lot about Gem culture, but he's still got a lot to learn… then again, the same can be said for me. I guess that's one more thing he and I have in common. I wish I could meet the kid, but he seems to somehow end up in trouble. I can't have any heat on me just yet. Once everything is safe, then maybe, I can go meet him and the rest of the Crystal Gems. I just hope they have open minds.
