Chapter 20: Not such good first impressions

I don't own Steven universe, it's owned by its respected owner or owners

AN: Sup my favorite readers in the who world… probably. Anyways wanted if you want most of gems to have pets or other kind of companions like White Diamond and Steven have. For the OCs that's for their owners while Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Lapis are fair game. So basically if you want them to have pets or some kind of… thing like the golems and watermelon baby Stevens, just leave it in your review. Also do any of you want the watermelon and baby Stevens to make an appearance again, let me know in your review as well. Like I said most of these chapters coming out our going to integrate Raven, Alyssa and Emerald into the group and getting the newly arrived homeworld gems prepared. So bare with me until then, there might be some little moments with Steven and some of the girls too. Like I said the poll will start soon, so hold your horses. But let's check on Raven and the others then we'll get to the serious stuff. Anyways enough of me babbling… ON WITH THE CHAPTER! Enjoy!

At Beach City

The night was slow as you can get, a bit boring too. To the golems anyway, but they could usually find something to entertain or to occupied themselves with something. For instance, one of the golems appeared to be playing with some sand on the ground. Though it didn't show emotion it looked to be enjoying itself and didn't care if Raven or any passing humans. It rocky brother didn't seem to share it's brother's jolly and playful nature as it continued to stay in it's spot waiting for their masters return. While the golems were doing their own things, Greg and Connie were still unconscious and resting, Greg on the couch and Connie on Steven's bed. While Raven was reading the book he picked out and couldn't really… hate it or like it.

"This… isn't that bad, or good ether. So basically vampires are just like gems I guess… probably not though." Raven said to himself as he flipped open another page as he continued to read, overall the book wasn't good or bad. Something you probably read if your bored, but if your not into teen romance or teen vampires and all that other stuff. He wondered though… who owned this book? He then shrugged it off and went back inside to check on Greg and Connie and to probably pick out another book as well. He passed the golems who made him no mind as he kept walking up to the house.

When he finally made it to the house and began to enter it he saw that lion wasn't where he was last time but was by the bed where Connie was. Probably had something to do with the last words that Steven spoke to him was to keep her safe, now that's one loyal pet. He then looked down to see Greg still unconscious and had some drool coming from his mouth which kind of made him cringe a little but soon decided to get another book. He decided to pick a book that looked promising and saw some that caught his eye. It had a black haired boy with glasses and had a lighting shaped scar on his forehead. He grabbed it and began to examine it like it was a bomb and he finally got to the title.

"Harry Potter… looks good, but so did the other one too. Ah, what the hell I'll have a crack at it. Though what kind of name is Potter? I probably shouldn't judge because my last name is Agate which is just a pretty stone on earth." Raven said as he caught the book and remembered something very important that he should of done when he got back but got to side track with him worrying and the other unconscious human that he forgot that Connie was supposed to be taken home to her parents! He then proceeded to walk up the little stairs and was about to grab Connie when lion got in front of him and began to growl very aggressively. This caused him to back up with his hands up in alarm and a bit of fear.

Whoa there, I'm just going to take her home so her parents do freak out and get Steven and us in trouble, alright?" Raven said to the large feline that could possibly kill him by just using a roar. Lion's expression was soften a little bit but was still growling at him. After a bit Raven then made his move but moved very slowly so lion sees that he isn't a threat to him or Connie. Lion stopped growling and decided that Raven was right, even though Steven told him to protect her she would probably be safer with her parents. He also didn't want his master or his annoying comrades, the only reason he evens help the others is because of Steven. His master always come first, and he's been quite found of the human girl.

Lion then made his way back to his original spot by the door and got comfortable and closed his eye's so it could sleep. While lion was doing that Raven put the book back where he found it along with the rest of the books he was dying to read, but first came his duties come first and Garnet was the boss… at least he thought so. He could tell that when he and Alyssa got here things were a little tense and rough in the team currently, but it was who the leader that was bothering. He knew that Garnet was a good leader in her own right and she's been doing a fine job so far but… she wasn't no Rose Quartz and that was the problem. It's not she wasn't a good leader but… she acted cold and sometimes only focuses on the mission in his mind any way.

If anything Steven should probably be leader, though he was young and having new abilities that he's just discovering. He could tell when he first met him that he was just like his mother and had the same heart as her as well. He was a person who was half human also and that was perfect for a group of super powered aliens protecting earth, to have a half human as their leader. And in a way it was kind of his birth right, he still had Rose's gem and so in a way he was kind of the leader already. But who ever is the leader, he would be ready to follow their orders and not hesitate ether.

He decided to get this over with and proceeded to pick up Connie and was about leave right out the door but he forgot another important thing. "Where… does she exactly live?" Raven asked himself and then he looked to lion who had one eye open and let out huff of air like he say "You're are a dummy". "So, you know where she lives, eh?" Raven asked lion in an annoyed tone want the big pink cat where Connie lives. Lion didn't say a word, he nudged Raven with his head telling him to follow him out towards the door so he could lead him there. Raven looked at the smug looking lion with an annoyed and irritated look. "I… really… hate cats." Raven said to himself as he followed the large feline out the door. Not knowing when he comes back there's going to be a big talk with the others.

At The Battlefield

The battlefield was as quiet as a graveyard, which it was. But only for he countless gems fused to make the super mutant and the mutants that fused to make it as well. Countless gem who didn't have a say in what they were getting into, though it was a giant monster being controlled by fear and rage. It didn't deserve to die, nothing like that doesn't need to die because of someone else's doing. White Diamond and Emerald saw how it happens d had their own thoughts and opinions on what just happened. Both good and bad, but it was their own opinions and thoughts. But what about Steven, Sugilite and Midnight Cobalt though, what were going through their minds when it happened.

The first was the one who took the shot that killed the super mutant, and she looked shocked and horrified on what she just did. Like she didn't mean for it to happened. She dropped her scythe and began to shake like a leaf, a face of shock and confusion on her face. She then began to glow white again but this time meaning she was defusing. After about a few seconds Pearl and Alyssa's gems sent flying still glowing but taking shape as well. When the glowing light disappeared both were in their forms and sent flying towards the ground with exclaiming in panic and shock. When they finally hit the ground it took about a few minutes for them to dust themselves off, both still a little shaken and shocked on what just happened.

Meanwhile the last Fusion in the ground who was Sugilite was shocked and horrified just like Midnight Cobalt but instead of wasting anytime she immediately began to glow meaning she was defusing as well. But unlike Midnight Cobalt she both were sent flying as well but immediately took their form and land carefully on the ground. But both Garnet and Amethyst had different expressions, telling what both their views on what just happened. Amethyst was shocked and horrified just like Pearl and Alyssa, probably had something to do with her never seeing one of her own kind die before right in front of her. Sure it was a mutant but it wasn't always like that, there were maybe countless gems that were in that super mutant and now… they were dead. Garnet though had an expression of anger and rage as she proceeded to make her way to Pearl and Alyssa who had a lot of explaining to do.

"WHAT WAS THAT, WHY DID BOTH OF YOU DO THAT!?" Garnet yelled in a harsh and angry tone that meant they should answer her. This made both Pearl and Alyssa jump in fear because of how angry she sounded, her looked of anger didn't help them ether. Pearl decided since it was her idea to fuse with Alyssa first even though it was her first time she knew that there might have been some problems, fusing for the first time is always rough but… what just happened wasn't exactly rough. It was terrible, and it was her fault. As she was the most experienced crystal gem next to Garnet she should have thought more clearly on fusing with some who hasn't exactly have enough experience. So it was her fault it happened, not Alyssa.

"Garnet, I'm sorry it was an accident it wasn't any of Alyssa's fault!" Pearl said in a shaky tone not wanting to anger the powerful fusion right in front of her anymore then she has. "That isn't an excuse for what happened Pearl! We don't kill mutant or corrupted gems, we bubble and lock them away so we could help them a d to protect the humans!" Garnet said in her signature commanding tone that everyone knew. And Pearl was starting to get irritated a little bit now and was trying her best to hold her temper but was failing. "It wasn't our fault alright, you should know fusing with someone who hasn't ever fused before is dangerous! But as our fearless leader you should have know that but no, you wanted for us to fuse even though you knew that it was dangerous and with your future vision you knew that it might have ended like this too!" Pearl yelled at Garnet which shocked everyone and made her speechless, not expecting something like this from Pearl.

"STOP FIGHTING NOW!" Steven yelled at them, which got all of their attention and looked towards him. He was carrying Lapis in his arms, who has cuts and bruises all over her body just like Steven who looked very angry and eyes and face was red probably from the tears that he wept when he saw the super mutant die, it hit him pretty hard. This made him look horrible and exhausted, he's been doing most of the work and he hasn't gotten much sleep or rest from the fight with Jasper and now this. This made everyone and especially Garnet and Pearl to pay attention him and feel terrible because they forgot it was mostly him doing all the work and they just decided to get in and help him with the super mutant. And killing it didn't help ether.

"It doesn't matter whose fault it is, we'll talk about that later! Right now we should bubble the remaining mutants before we have another battle on our hands. Me, Alyssa and Pearl will go back to Beach City and check if everything is alright and to make sure Lapis is ok. While Garnet and Amethyst stay here to bubble the mutants and to make they stay in their gems. Understood!?" Steven said in a more harsh and commanding tone then Garnet could ever do and that made everyone to agree with him, even though he wasn't formally in charge they didn't want to make him more angry at them. Alyssa didn't want to get in more trouble than she already is with Steven and the others, she didn't want to be kicked out het first day. While the others didn't want to make things worse then they already are with Steven, so they nodded. But before anyone could say or do anything a familiar voice and person decided to reveal their presence know.

"Well, the crystal gems seem way different than I remember it used to be, eh Garnet?" Emerald said in a sarcastic tone, this made everyone turn towards her shocked to see another gem and not noticing her. Amethyst and Alyssa summoned their weapons and got ready for another battle since they didn't know if she wasn't hostile or not. Steven got ready to get Lapis out of here and return to help the others battle this mysterious person if she was hostile, though she felt familiar to him before like he's seen her before even though she hasn't met her in all his life. Pearl and Garnet had way different reactions than everyone, Pearl looked shocked like she had just seen a ghost while Garnet had the same expression too.

"Emerald, is that you?" Garnet asked in a low and shocked tone, which caught everyone in surprise except Pearl who was still trying to process who she seeing right in front of her. Emerald had a smirk on her face and she proceeded to walk up to Garnet until they were face to face. "Expecting someone else, thought you remember your best friend and the person whose saved your butt more then one occasion." Emerald said still with a smirk on her face as she hugged het which caught her by surprise, after about a few seconds of silence she hugged back. This made everyone look at the reunion in confusion as they had no idea what's going on anymore. This was going to be a big headache to Steven as he knew the night wasn't over yet.
