Ch.27: Thy purpose part 1

This strange, cold atmosphere still made Steven uneasy even with Quantum gone. How was he able to do it, to stop time...unless this wasn't his doing? He looked too weak to even use that kind of power or most likely he wouldn't be able to do that in the first place.

No wind blowing by, no smell, no sound? It just added on the creep factor until something brushed Steven's shoulder. Startled immediately he turned around to nobody. He could've sworn that from the corner of his eye he saw a black tendril and low eerie chuckling by his ear...bah it was nothing obviously, besides what could possibly be able to move in this suspended time stasis other than he and Quantum? No one!

Quickly noticing that Green Pearl's suspended body was now slowly falling to the ground. Was time being restored? Looked like it without a doubt.

"(Oh shit!)"

Steven hastily ran and dove right onto his back so he could catch Green Pearl from underneath. Just in time to as the atmosphere changed back to normal with Pearl trying to yell out to him before she was cut off.

"-ck!...Huh? Where is Quantum?"

That was odd, Pearl knew for sure that Quantum was right there in front of them. Somehow by a second that went by he was gone. Also for some reason Steven was on his back with Green Pearl on top of him. She was curled up, happily snuggling against his chest.

"Siiiiigh the things I do for the universe."

"Steven!"

"Ugh Pea-"

Steven was sitting himself up until Pearl tackled him, not even taking into consideration that Green Pearl was sandwiched in between them. Aside from that Pearl was crying in her usual overlydramatic manner, Garnet and Amethyst caught up to her.

"Pearl ack, can't breathe!"

"Alright Pearl that's enough."

Garnet chuckled a little as she pried Pearl off of Steven, lifting her off the ground with relative ease.

"Let me go Garnet!"

"Pearl, Steven has had it rough so let him have his time."

Amethyst wrapped her arm around Steven's shoulder while playfully punching his side.

"Hahaah never doubted for for a second even though you did almost try to destroy us...Wow I just noticed your new pink do, dude. Looking fresh if you know what I'm saying?"

Now that she mentions it the moment Steven looked at himself on the pool's reflection he felt like this was him. Not only the hair but his slightly darkish pink eyes as well. Really gives him the kind of connection to his mom than ever before.

"Ah yeah, thanks Amethyst."

"Actually Amethyst is right. You do look different..in a good way of course. It's not only your slight appearance that has changed. I can feel it, your power is drastically different...almost as if-"

"Rose...No, Pink."

Pearl stopped her flailing about when she finished Garnet's sentence.

"Now that those two mentions it it does feel like Rose is in there except way bigger. Say uh dude, why is Chaos Emerald not you know bubbled?"

"She's not Chaos Emerald anymore, she's Green Pearl."

Garnet released Pearl now that she wasn't in her overly protective mother mode.

"Thank you Garnet. Pheew okay look I understand that you want to help Green Pearl but she isn't like the other gems who attacked us over a misunderstanding. She legit tried to exterminate all other gems and you."

"...Call me crazy but you almost said the exact same thing about White Diamond and she was the 2nd worst amongst them."

"Was I really that bad?"

"Woah jeebus!!"

No one noticed until now that all three of the Diamonds were sitting close by. Yellow was all bruised up and missing an arm while Blue's head was stuck upside down. Meanwhile White was perfectly fine...what a lazy a-hole.

"It was all of us White, but yes you were the worst in the past. At least I was merciful."

"Though you were the most violent."

"We're not doing this right now Blue."

"Right, sorry."

Steven could feel the cringe of the two injured Diamonds. Strange enough he should already be used to that kind of after living with three gems all his life. Specifically days when they had what he called it an "off day."

"Ehhheheh sorry about that guys. I wasn't really myself at the time so uh..."

"Steven? Do you honestly think I or we would be mad at you? Well I did lose an arm, not that it matters to me anyway. Now I would be mad at a certain someone not naming any names, White, that they actually got off their ass and helped us at the time!"

"I have a disease! Don't blame me for my inability to hurt Steven!"

"See what I mean?"

Still even if Yellow said she and the others weren't mad Steven still felt a pretty big gut wrenching guilt. He felt like since he was responsible for their pain (except White's) he would obviously take responsibilty for it. With the easiest known method in his arsenal.

"Alright you two, c'mere."

"For what dear Steven?"

"Pfft to heal you and Yellow of course. I just need to kiss your gems, that's all."

The two diamonds blushed pink, it was a little unexpected coming from Yellow, the most composed though violent but quick thinking member of the trio. This was perfect! This would the first time they would have one of their dreams come true. For Blue it would be Steven calling her mommy which she hoped was going to happen. If it did she would die peacefully though she can't die...cause she's a gem.

Yellow nervously knelt down first while turning her face away from Steven and covering it with her hand so he wouldn't see how progressively red she was becoming. Steven wasn't fooled however, he expected this kind of response to happen. Gently setting aside Green Pearl on a nearby rock and with a light chuckle he jumped up high and gave a quick peck to her chest where her gem is.

Instantaneously all the damage Yellow sustained was all healed up as if it was never there. Also she saw that her other arm grew back so she quickly tested it's function with a quick lightning fast jab. Yep, like she never lost it in the first place though weirdly enough she felt like her jab could get even faster for some reason.

Shortly after Yellow fully processed Steven's kissing method, her face turning a bright red. Steam was being produced from the sides of Yellow's head while internally squealing. Oh the humiliation she would have if her troops saw her like this though they are already fully aware.

Blue was next and she looked a little too excited just to get her gem kissed by Steven. The way her breath was quickening in anticipation and her body was sweating all over worried him a bit. Just get it over with Steven, you've dealt with bigger weirdos before.

As he jumped up and kissed Blue Diamond's gem, before she knew it her head was rightside up. The immediate contact from Steven's lips sent intense shivers throughout her body, making her numb all over to the point she fell backwards onto the sand. Steven thinking his mom was attractive was cringe enough, now he has to feel awkward with how sprawled out Blue was along with the look of pure bliss and satisfaction.

It was as if she finished with a powerful climax after an intense fuck session which will never happen since Blue was way bigger than him. He also considers the Diamonds aunts so hell to the no. Well size never stopped Greg from doing that but still. Sigh thank goodness that's over or so Steven thought. White was feeling left out and jealous that her sisters got (to them) heavenly treatment from Steven. Then a stupid idea popped into her head. Without hesitation she popped off her own arm as if she was a barbie doll.

"Ohhh Steven! It would seem that I am injured as well."

"Damnit White, why did you do that?!"

"But I'm injured. So please kiss my gem to."

Sometimes Steven wonders how the hell he was able to get White on his side? Bah whatever hopefully this would quell her childish jealousy crap.

"Haah fiiiine lower yourself White...NOT THAT WAY!!"

White was going to squat down in a provocative manner but stopped herself to fix the posture by quickly closing her legs. Rolling his eyes Steven jumped up and gave a peck to White's forehead where her gem is. Though her arm was reattached her mind was shutdown from the overwhelmingly positive stimuli. Figures that she was the most sensitive of the three (CONTEXT!)

"You know what Pearl...let's drop this conversation."

"I agree, we both said what we had to say. I may not agree with your decision to protect a mass murdering maniac gem but I'll accept it for now."

"Hmm?"

There was some strange whistling in the wind that seems to be getting closer and closer. Wait a sec it was coming from above him.

"STEEEEVEEEEEN!!"

Oh shit it was Spinel. Steven forgot all about her and the closet. Hold up that doesn't sound like a happy, lusty tone at all. How Spinel was yelling out his name was more angry and-

BOOM!!

Spinel landed right at her intended target right in front of the others. Despite the crash Steven was unharmed but not for long.

"Heeeyyyy Spinel, you found m-"

"Zip it bitch!"

"Okay."

"You...youuuuuuu."

"Spinel we can talk this out. There's really no need for any violen-"

"SHUT IT!"

Steven could see the blood boil up in her face though she has no blood. Anyway her big hands was tightly gripped his collar. Her teeth were grinding which was clearly to anyone a bad sign.

"(Those eyes smell trouble. Wait the heart prints are not there anymore?...Could it be that when a gem is affected by anger it disappears? Why didn't I think of that earlier?)"

Before Steven thought any further he was hit by a hard open handed slap to the cheek by Spinel.

"Okay oww!"

Another slap came at Steven except it was backhanded this time. Then another, then another as a consecutive string of fast hitting slaps impacted him. What did he do to deserve this bullshit? After what seemed like 100 slaps in 30 seconds Spinel stopped her forehand midway by grasping her slapping wrist.

Steven only felt dazed than swollen in the face. Interestingly there were injuries on him, not even a welt.

"Spine-"

Suddenly Steven heard sniffling coming from Spinel, her head was looking down yet he can see the tears that were dripping onto the sand. She looked back up to Steven, giving confirmation that she was indeed, crying. Meanwhile Pearl tapped on Garmet's shoulder.

"Ah Garnet, shouldn't we intervene before things get out of hand?"

"Nope, just let them talk it out amongst themselves. Meanwhile I'm going to need your help."

"With what?"

"With Lapis and Peridot. I would ask for Amethyst but she's not going to be much of help."

The reason for that was Amethyst is currently relieving her boredom by watching the two animalistic lesbians eating eachother out as if they were munching on a hot meal. She was doing that with a big bag of popcorn by her side.

"Whaaat? C'mon Gar I am helping. I'm making sure those two don't go into a frenzy and try to rip us in two. God damn I know my mouth would get sore as shit if I was sucking dick for half an hour non-stop."

"Of course you are. C'mon Pearl."

"Right behind you. Okay you two, it's time to break it up!"

As the two gems ran off to assist their two other friends Steven was left with three mentally shutdown Diamonds and one emotional Spinel. Slowly but carefully he put his hands on her shoulders. She didn't attack him so that's a good sign he suppossed.

"Spinel...talk to me. If it's about the whole closet thing then I'm sorry about that. I had no choice."

"...It's not about the stupid closet. Didn't you think it was strange about us coming to Earth?"

What kind of question is that? Why would it be strange for Spinel and the Diamonds to come to Earth? It was until something popped in Steven's head that helped him remember something important, today's date.

"(Wait a sec, today is September 3rd. Then that means?)"

"By the look on your face you already figured it out...It's not January. I tricked the Diamonds to come here early...I really wanted to come back."

"Aww Spinel, you know that you can come visit whenever you want."

"If I did then I would've done so earlier!...*Sniff* Sorry I'm just so..so frustrated right now. All this shenanigans got in the way of why I came here in the first place? Worst of all the Diamonds never let me leave Homeworld."

"Which now explains the every two year January visits. Look you're here now so you don't have to die of bored-"

"It wasn't about boredom either you fucking idiot! Damnit I wanted to see you!"

Ehh? Spinel wanted to come to Earth just for Steven? Also by her tone this visit seemed like a cry for help. She was right though, all the schenanigans that all happened in one day did cause her to forget, understandable. Technically it was thanks to Spinel that the "cure" to this miasma was found.

"Okay but why me?"

"I-I need your help."

"With wh- oh shit!"

"Ahh! Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry, I just remembered something. Connie!"

Spinel tilted her head in confusion.

"What about her? Isn't she...uh well she's-"

"No no I get it, it's fine. S- oh right you didn't experience it. So it's like this."

Steven explained a bit to Spinel about what happened to him a few moments ago that involved Quantum. Though she had a pissed off look on her face she still listened despite hearing that bastard's name. Thank goodness Spinel didn't explode into a rage when she did.

"...Didn't think the whole wish thing was legit. If you did wish for Connie to come back we would need to see the results."

"Um sorry, I promise I'll hear you out later okay?"

"Sigh I'm holding you up for that Universe. What are you waiting for?"

"Right."

Steven along with Spinel dashed past Garnet and the others who were having some issue trying to break apart the two mooses in heat. Kneeling down his eyes were wide with shock when he saw that the hole that was blasted through Connie's body was sealed up. Her shirt from the front that was barely covering her chest and the back was singed. Shockingly nothing changed about her skin, still silky smooth and all. Impossible, it was as if the wound was never there.

Except there was a large gash like scar that travels in a diagonal manner from under her left breast to the right side almost next to her belly button. But for some reason Steven didn't see Connie's chest inflating. Shit, no good.

"Holy shit. That asshole wasn't bullshitting after all."

"Connie?...Connie please wake up."

Steven scooped his hand underneath Connie's head, his other wrapped around her body. He raised her head close to his ear, no breath.

"Connie please wake up...Connie I'm sorry. It's because of me that all this happened. If only I saw my weakness sooner, maybe just maybe that I would've saved you. If Quantum really did give me this second chance then I promise that I will never abandon my responsibility ever again."

"Steven..."

...There was still no breath coming from Connie. Steven feared that though her body was repaired quickly amd left a scar maybe the rest of her isn't coming back...unless. Thinking a little more clearly Steven felt that Quantum wouldn't break his promise and so far he has given him pieces to solve certain issues. It's not obviously clear of course since it took him a couple of hours now to realise his flaws and mistakes.

That's when he looked at the scar and an idea popped into his head.

"What? Did you think of something?...Wait what are you doing?"

"Trust me on this, it has to work."

Using his hand Steven pressed it onto the scar and pushed down with enough pressure to not damage the body any further. Suddenly after a few seconds Connie's eyes shot open while she started to vomit, a mix of her own bile and the white substance was being released from her stomach.

Steven knew how dangerous Connie's position was so he quickly flipped her so she was on her knees. Thank goodness, now she doesn't have to choke on her own vomit.

"That's it, that's it, let it all out."

After some coughing Connie managed to breathe normally. Just what the hell happened? One minute everything was dark, the next something forced her eyes open and then she started to throw out something that tasted metallicy. She turned her head to see Steven or what she thought was Steven. For some reason this pink haired weirdo with pink eyes reminded her of him. Wait, it is Steven!

"Steven?"

In response to Connie saying his name Steven couldn't hold back the floodgates as some of his tears escaped the corners of his eyes. He never felt this happy in his life.

"CONNIE!!"

Steven pulled Connie into a tight hug, crying hysterically into her shoulder. It took a little time for Connie to process what was going on? When she remembered what happened to her this time she was the crying except it was not only bevause of Steven. It was also from that scary feeling of death and darkness, she felt so alone until that light reached her but even that filled her with loneliness. That was until she got back to her own body.


The next day arrived, 10:00am

Ever since last night Steven didn't remember what happened after he was reunited with a not so dead Connie. Now he finds himself waking up in Connie's bed...again. He must've passed out from all that fatigue that was building up throughout the entire day. Now that all this shite was over his body definetely burned out.

"(Really? No shirt again.)"

"Glad to see that you are awake."

Steven got surprised by Connie's voice, she was standing against the doorway to her own room. The idiot tried to convince himself that this was all a dream so he pinched his cheek...yeah, the pain was real.

"By god...it's a goddamn miracle."

"Seems like it. Honestly I don't know how I came back? When I pushed you out of the way of that blast I didn't feel anything and everything went black."

"It was Quantum who did this. He has power I wouldn't be able to ever dream of having, one of them was wish granting. I wished for you back and by the looks of you standing here in front of me it worked like a charm."

Connie entered through the doorway and sat right on the bed next to Steven.

"Yeah, a pretty damn good good luck charm."

"Right? Say what happened to me afterward?"

"Welllll you passed out while hugging me so Spinel and I had to drag your heavy butt back to my place. Pearl and everyone else went to New Homeworld."

"What about Green Pearl?"

Steven caught himself quickly by how he asked that question. He can visibly see Connie's uncomfortable body language sign. I mean shit who would blame her? That genocidal psycho killed her and now Steven is concerned with her well being?

"...Sorry I-"

"No, it's okay. I don't understand why you didn't bubble her...after all she did. Sigh but you have your reasons and you wouldn't be this risky if you weren't confidant in your choices. Just so you know she hasn't moved from the garage."

"Thanks...I should go and check on New Homewo- Uh Connie, you're a bit on top of me."

Before Steven got the chance to get out of bed Connie shifted her body so she was on top of him. It was then she started unbuttoning her shirt and her jeans.

"Steven...please don't leave. Let me be selfish for a bit."

"But isn't selfishness the reason we got here in the fi- mmm."

Connie cut Steven's sentence when she connected her lips to his. He didn't even bother to push her off since he wanted the same thing as much as she did. By god did he miss this, the sweet taste of Connie's tongue intertwining with his own. It didn't take long until Steven went on the attack and was now the one on top.

Connie let out a playful giggle as she peppered kisses on Steven's face while he cupped her breasts. Taking a bit of a nibble from her nipple he got the exact reaction from Connie that he wanted. At this point she will definetely cause him to become an addict not to drugs but to the sultry tones of her moaning.

Slowly lowering his head down her stomach Steven traced the tip of his tongue along the lining and passed the belly button. He was about to bite into her plump leg until-

"Hmm so this is what the human procreation process is like? Very interesting."

What the heck? That was a random thing to come out of Connie's mouth.

"Huh? Connie what are you talking abo-"

The moment Steven tilted his head up to look into Connie's eyes his mouth froze in place unexpectedly, even his voice got "stuck". Those irises were not Connies at all. They both had the bright colors of a tinted glass mural at a church house with the reds, greens, and a little yellow.

"Hello my Diamond, it's been far too long since we last seen eachother. How are you? Well, I might imagine since you have a hybrid son as powerful as he is."

"Guh ah ah."

"Don't try to speak. I just wanted to see how you for myself."

Connie (?) slid her body down so she was underneath Steven while looking him in the eye. She stroked his face.

"I'm sure we'll meet again. Not now but soon, my Diamond."


The next day arrived, 10:00am

"Gasp! Haah haah haah."

Steven woke up in a cold sweat. What a strange dream that was, he could barely remember the last thing that happened before he and Connie was about to have sex. Speaking of Connie she jumped up at the same time Steven did, she was right beside him the entire time.

"Jesus Steven! You scared the daylights out of me."

"Connie?"

Steven gently carressed Connie's face. That wasn't enough to confirm that this wasn't just another dream.

"Heph, shoph pinphing muh cheefs! (Hey, stop pinching my cheeks!)"

"Oh sorry, I just had this realistic dream."

Rubbing her slightly sore cheeks Connie tilted her head in confusion.

"About what?"

"Uhhhh nothing too important, just that I woke up and you were by the door."

"And then what?"

"What do you mean?"

"There has to have been something else to that dream."

"What makes you say that?"

Connie cleared her throat while looking down at Steven's leg.

"You had this stupid looking grin while you were sleeping. Not only that your boner has been up for a while."

"Oh shit!"

Steven tried to cover his covers covered erection but Connie grabbed his hands away. That smug look on her face spoke volumes on what she wanted right this minute.

"But Connie your scar, doesn't it...hurt?"

"Surprisingly no. This scar was pretty scary to look at at first. Even my parents were scared, mostly mom."

"I'm glad."

"I understand that you're worried, I just wanted to be a little selfish for once."

Steven thought about it for a moment. After a few moments his resolve was locked in.

"You know what? Screw this scared crap, c'mere."

Pulling Connie right on top of him they both didn't waste any time with their intensely passionate kissing. For now Steven can figure out the other crap later, right now that booty was his!
