And more Gem Legion minifics
(prompt: Aquamarine + "You're jealous, aren't you?")
"You're jealous, aren't you?" Peri asked, playful smile on his face as he and the light blue Gem watched Kara and Lena.
"Of course not." Aquamarine said, kicking at a rock. "I just… believe she could do better. She is a Gem, a high-class one commissioned by a Diamond, and yet she wastes herself on a human?"
"You would not say that if you knew who that human was." Peri said, glaring at him. "She is good and smart, and if choosing her says anything about Kara as a person, she clearly has good taste."
"But... they cannot even fuse!"
(prompt: The Barn Squad playing Five Nights at Freddy's and Kell saying "jumpscare" right before a jumpscare happens, Peri getting angry because he keeps losing, and Kara clutching onto the both of them eating popcorn.)
"Jumpscare." Kell said, quietly.
Peri ignored him, focusing on the screen. Kara and Kell sat in the chairs behind him and looked over his shoulders, Kara holding a popcorn bucket and eating nervously, and Kell just staring solemnly at his face, waiting for reactions to whatever was going to happen.
Clark had bought this game for him, on recommendation from Howlite and Mahogany Obsidian.
In retrospect, given what they preferred to watch on television and in movies…he should've asked Benitoite.
There was movement on the screen, and Peri yelped, Kell smirking and saying "I warned you." as he did so.
(prompt: Gosh, Peri and Kara accidentally fusing when they dance to make Aquamoron jealous, and them being so happy about it.)
One moment, Kara was twirling Peri around in her arms, Peri's feet a good several inches above the ground.
Then, they were Brochantite, twirling around as one being, hugging themselves. Their ponytail settled down as they stopped, staring at Aquamarine who had been watching them. His expression had changed from annoyance to exasperation, seeing the two of them dance, and now he looked disgusted.
"Kara, I would've expected your standards to be higher." He said.
"Kara's not here right now. We're-"
"Does it look like I care? Just bring the hot one back, will you?"
"I don't think so, Aquamarine."
(prompt: Gosh, imagine Kara, Peri, and Kell still doing the whole "Last One Out of Beach City" thing but Lena is wearing more casual clothing when she sneaks out for the concert. But afterwards, Kara sees Lena again in more formal clothing and can't believe how different she looks.)
She's having a difficult time, connecting the L.L. she met at the concert- brown leather jacket with white lining, black T-shirt and jeans, hair down and curled- to Lena-Luthor-the-mayor's-daughter, clothed in fancy blouses and skirts and dresses, hair either in a ponytail or straightened.
(Not like the condition of her hair said anything else about her, of course. She'd seen too many of the looks Lena had given her to say otherwise)
But, no matter what she was wearing, she couldn't deny she was still stunning- and that she still wanted to get to know her as much as possible.
(prompt: For the Gem Legion AU, Clark finding a little pink dog while out on a mission and deciding to keep her)
Clark didn't mind the desert.
The heat was comfortable for him, rather than unbearable, and while the snakes and chameleons and giant wasps were annoying, he could handle them. Even the larger Gem monsters weren't too much of a challenge.
It was the desert glass gem that annoyed him. The sand, shifting around constantly in huge structures, confusing him- it was just too much, even for Clark. It wasn't like the other Gem monsters he'd fought. He couldn't exactly beat up a beach.
Not that the mission was a total disaster, though. It did lead him to Sugar, after all.
(prompt: Clark introducing the other Legionnaires to Sugar.)
The other Gems came back, desert glass gem safely secured, to Clark being attacked (albeit lovingly) by a fluffy pink dog.
Alunite summoned his electric baton, assuming a defensive stance. The others stayed behind him, but remained cautious.
"Clark, what did we tell you about the monsters?" Alunite asked. "Some of them may look friendly, but… you remember what happened with Ayla."
Clark stood up, dog in his arms. "This one doesn't have a Gem. Besides, she already likes me, I can tell. Can I keep her, please?"
"I mean, we kept Mahogany." Howlite said, shrugging. "Why not?"
"Thank you!"
(prompt: Sugar sometimes nudging Lena closer to Kara so that she can kiss her.)
Sometimes, Peri swore that Sugar was smarter than a typical example of her species, in addition to looking different.
Although Sugar didn't come by the barn much, more often than not she arrived while Lena was around. And when Lena was hanging out with Kara, Sugar was clingier, with the both of them. She'd nudge Kara, and the Gem would rub the dog's nose, but Peri suspected that wasn't what Sugar wanted.
After seeing it happen again, and hearing Kell whistle something that sounded suspiciously like "Kiss the Girl", Peri got the message. But Kara and Lena were still oblivious.
(Winn trying to get pictures of the Gem Legionnaires for his blog, but the others (except for Clark) not wanting to get their pictures taken.)
"Clark, please tell your friends I need their pictures for my blog!" Winn said, pleading with him over the counter where he worked. Clark smiled, trying to decide how to let him down easily.
"You have lots of pictures of me, right? I'm still a Gem."
"Yeah, but I've written so much about you already. My fans want new material. They want to see the rest of the Gem Legion."
"They…don't talk to humans much, Winn. Not to mention they have weapons that they will use on monsters- or people- who threaten them."
"I'm not threatening!"
"Threatening their privacy, yeah."
Clark and the others are at the zoo. Clark keeps nearly bursting into flames in anger, every time Yellow Agate touches Peri.
Clark saw the weapon strike Peri's back as she moved him along toward the Peridots' control room, and it took all the strength he had not to break away from the others, pull out his shield, and poof Yellow Agate himself. He wouldn't even mind the consequences, if it meant Peri wouldn't spend another second being hurt by that Gem, who had already caused him such pain.
"Ruby. Breathe." Kell said, holding one arm. Kara held the other, but she and Kell looked just as uncomfortable with Peri's treatment by the other Gem.
"I'm fine." Clark said, pants on fire.
(prompt: Aww, imagine for the brief time that they got to be together, Kara taking care of Clark when they were in that Kindergarten on the asteroid together. Which, of course, Clark can't really remember because he was so young.)
She turns around, and looks at him like she's seeing a ghost.
The purple Gem's hugging him, crying over his shoulder, and he awkwardly pats her back, hugging her in return.
"You don't remember me, do you?" she asks.
"No." Clark says. "I'm sorry."
"What about the asteroid?"
"Yeah, but that was…forever ago. I've lived with humans for so long that those memories seem like they're someone else's. Did you live there too?"
She remembers when he was small, when she'd pick him up, move him out of the way of boulders. When she'd hide him under her skirt from the Agate who came to inspect them sometimes. When she taught him shapeshifting, and they practiced side by side for hours.
"You have no idea."
