Disclaimer: I do NOT own Steven Universe.


Steven opened his eyes after waking up to find himself in his bed. He was glad he didn't have any nightmares or anyone else stalking him at night, but he would now feel uneasy sleeping period.

He now knew that he should tell the other Crystal Gem's about his other self. It would make them worry about him, but he just had to get it off his chest.

The warp pad activated and out came Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl.

Pearl walked over to Steven's bed while Garnet and Amethyst stayed near the warp pad.

"So, are you going to finally tell us what's going on now?" Pearl asked, wanting answers.

Steven just stayed silent. Pearl was getting irritated and was about to ask again until Garnet came.

"Steven, we know you're going through some tough times and don't want to talk to anyone, but you have to let us know what's going on." Said Garnet.

Steven kept his eyes down, not wanting to look at any of them. The young boy still didn't say anything.

"Steven, just tell us." Amethyst said.

"A-alright, fine." Steven stated with a pause. "I'll tell you."

The three of them nodded there heads for Steven to answer.

"Well, to tell you the truth...Th-that wasn't me..."

The three Gem's looked at each other." What do you mean, Steven?" Asked Pearl. "So are you saying there are two of you?" Amethyst asked, thinking she realized what was happening.

Steven just smiled at Amethyst's question." No, there's not two of me...but...it was my other side...my Gem side."

Pearl and Amethyst looked perplexed, while Garnet looked like she knew all along.

"Hmm, just as I thought." Garnet said.

Steven looked at Garnet. "You know?"

"Well, since you're half Human and half Gem, the other side would want to get out. But I don't know why you're Gem side would be evil. You're powers comes from Rose, and we all know Rose is fully pure and has no evil inside of her."

"Yeah, but, if he gains full control, it will be like I turn bad. And that's what worries me."

Amethyst and Pearl looked confused.

"Uh, do you mind telling us what you guys are talking about?" Amethyst asked. Pearl looked just as confused.

"You two still don't get it, do you?" Steven asked. Amethyst and Pearl shook there heads.

"It's basically what Garnet said. I'm half Human, half Gem. But for some reason my Gem side is evil and is trying to take control. You know how I always use my Gem powers in deadly situations, or when you guys are in danger? Well, apparently I get my Gem powers from him." Steven explained.

Pearl looked worried, Amethyst was shocked, and Garnet had a blank expression on her face.

"So, now you all know. Which is why I want you guys to stay away from me because if he takes over again, you guys won't get hurt. Each time I used my Gem powers he would get stronger and stronger, now he wants to take over my body, and I don't know how to stop him." Steven explained.

"Okay, so I have a question for you Steven. Did you ever let him out on you're account?" Pearl asked.

"No...and yes." Steven answered.

"What? Why?!" Amethyst asked.

"I didn't mean to, I just wanted to be able to protect you guys, so I used my Gem powers and apparently I got it from him. I totally wouldn't have done it if I would have known his planes before hand. I'm sorry guys. I didn't even know my Gem side was an actual person!" Steven admitted.

Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl looked at him with blank expressions.

"I wonder if I should tell them about the thing that's stalking me...No, they have to much to worry about as it is..." Steven thought.

"So now that we know what we're dealing with, what are we going to do with Steven's Gem side if it starts acting up?" Pearl asked Garnet and Amethyst.

"I think I can answer that." Steven said. "Maybe if I learn how to use my powers more, and begin training, I might be able to fight my Gem side."

"That's a great idea Steven! We can all train you! With Home world after us this is the perfect opportunity to get Steven into his Gem heritage! I'll train him first!" Pearl exclaimed in excitement.

"Not right now though please. Maybe next week." Steven said.

Pearl's happy expression soon faded to a disappointed look.

"Ugh, fine." Pearl stated.

Steven thought everything would be alright. The Gem's would help hi train and he would be able to fight his Gem side. Steven smiled.

Everything was going right now. He hoped it would stay like it was now.

From a distance, the shadow that stalked Steven while sleeping, hated that smile on Steven's face.

"He's smiling...not good. I'll have to wake up his other half again." The shadow stated.


Later that day...

The sun was going down and Steven was just walking in the work while everyone left. It was nice to have some alone time. It gave him some space to think.

Suddenly, a little headache formed in his head. At first, he thought it was just a headache, until he heard the replica's voice.

"Forget what I said about waiting a few months, I want you're body now!" The replica shouted, trying to gain control.

Steven clutched his head in pain. It was a good thing no one is in the park to see him.

"Why don't you just let him take over, Steven?" A voice came up from behind him.

Steven turned around and was now face to face with a fully cloaked figure.

"Who are you!?" Steven asked with a yell, in pain.

"I'm definitely not someone you know." The cloaked figure stated.

"What are you talking about?!" Steven exclaimed with another yell.

"Can you let me take control you ignorant kid!? I can shut this person up for you." The replica stated.

Steven was now on his knees. He screamed out loud trying to fight the unimaginable pain.

"No, I won't let you!" Steven yelled as his Gem started to glow.

Hehehe. Why won't you just let it happen? You can just give me you're body and you wouldn't feel a thing." The replica chuckled.

As Steven kept struggling to stay in control, the cloaked figure had big smile plastered on it's face.

"AAAAGHHH!" Steven continued yelling.

"Come on Steven, do you really think you can fight you're other side?" The cloaked figure said. "You can't. He's a part of you."

"No! Me and him are nothing alike. I don't have the urge to fight like he does!" Steven disagreed with a yell.

"That's what you'd like to think, wouldn't you? You can't defy what you feel inside. Deep down you know I'm right."

Steven continued to struggle."I might be part Gem, but don't forget I'm part human as well!"

"Hehe. Like that makes a difference." The cloaked figure chuckled.

It then began to walk up to Steven.

"I can help you, Steven..." The cloaked figure stated.

"Why should I believe you?" Asked Steven.

"I'll show you."

The figure bent down to Steven, and put its hand on Steven's head. With a yell, the hand began to glow and suddenly, the pain in Steven's head stopped.

"Wh-what did you do?" Steven asked, getting up.

"Nothing really. I just put you're other self to sleep. He'll wake up in a few weeks." The cloaked figure explained.

"O-okay, but why help me? You were talking as if you wanted my other self to take control." Steven pointed out. The figure remained silent.

"I'll tell you everything soon. But for now, you should know exactly who I am." The figure than took off its hood and it was revealed that the figure was a female. Steven already knew this though, thanks to the voice.

She had white hair with black irises and pupils. She also had a black Gem on her right shoulder.

Her expression was vague.

Steven was surprised at this new found Gem.

"My name is Cassiterite."
