Author's Notes: Still waiting on Steven Universe to come back :'( Till then Time for me to catch up on my Story.


Chapter 16: Following Mica

He approached the end of the wall as he heard cries of terror from around the corner.

"Help!" the elderly woman yelled, hoping for someone to come and save her. "Shut up! Give me your gold!" The masked man pointed a gun at the women. She complied with the thief's orders and handed him her golden necklace and bracelets. "Give me more!" he shouted stuffing his new items in his back pocket. "I don't have any more! I swear just let me go, I won't tell anyone!" She pleaded. . "Shut up! I know you won't tell anyone... *He pulls the hammer on the gun* I'll make sure of that.


Mica listened from around the corner, deciding what he should do. Help the lady or stay out of it. "Shut up! I know you won't tell anyone... *the hammer of the gun clicked* I'll make sure of that."


Garnet observed from above. Gauntlets summoned, ready to jump in. Her weapons faded away.


The gun Released a stream of smoke from its barrel into the night sky. The gunshot roared throughout the away to silence. Garnet couldn't believe it...

" 'Tsk,' Well that stung." Mica stood before the mugger with his hand placed a few inches in front of the guns barrel. The mugger jumped back in shock "Where did you come from?!" The mugger asked, surprised. "I don't know." He responded shrugging his shoulders Taking the question literal. The man Growled before firing more rounds at him. Mica's hand was a blur as it moved to a different position 5 times. "You know, it stings but I like catching these." He turned his hand over and opened it, 6 bullets were in his hands. "Here *Mica tossed the used bullets at the mugger* Shoot some more. I wanna see how many I can catch before I get bored." He said sounding cocky. The man threw the gun at Mica and ran. Mica turned to the elderly woman, and helped her up. When the woman stood on her feet and blinked, Mica had disappeared. She looked around and did not find him.

*Crash*

Trashcans bumped into each other and knocked over. The woman turned behind her to see the strange man again, towering over the mugger. "You have something that doesn't belong to you." Mica said in a low and threatening voice. " The mugger that laid in the trash quickly reached into his pocket and threw the jewelry at Mica. It collided with his face and fell, he caught it with his hands but did not break his gaze towards the man. "Get out of my face…" he said lowly "W-What?" the man muttered. "GO!" Mica yelled. The man stumbled from the trash, bits, and pieces of garbage fell from the man as he ran for his life.


The man rushed out of the alley and ran down the block, he turned a corner and ran into what felt like a brick wall. He fell, and looked up to see women standing in his path with a large afro. The man gulped at the intimidating women.


Mica was handing the elder her possessions. "OH thank you. Thank you so much, you saved my life!" Tears ran down her face as she spoke with joy. "Mica held the gold necklaces and bracelets in hand waiting for the granny to take them. As she took them she noticed the forearm of the hand he caught the bullets with was cracked as if it was made of glass. "You're hurt let me help you.", "No-no I'm fine, really."," Nonsense! It's the least I can do after everything you've done." She pulled on his arm as they walked out of the alley. Both of them picked up the spilled groceries. "At Least the canned food is still good." the elder commented. Mica followed the small human, carrying all the bags. After a couple of minutes of a silent walk they stopped infront of 'Fish Stew Pizza.' "Why did we stop here?" Mica asked. "I live here, with my family." She searched for her keys to unlock the front door. Suddenly the lights to the restaurant turned on.

A tall middle-aged man frantically rushed to the door. opening it and hugging the woman. He pulled away and spoke "What have I told you about sneaking out to get groceries. You know it's dangerous at night! Especially during this time around, You could've been mugged!" The woman had a guilty expression on her face. "Are you hurt?! 'bah' it doesn't matter as long as you are safe.", "This man here saved my life, and I think he is just like the Crystal Gems." The woman walked past the middle aged man. He approached Mica and held out his hand. "I am Kofi Pizza, and I thank you for saving my mother." Mica grasped Kofi's hand, his hand was then shook up and down before Kofi released his hand. "Will you come inside and accompany us?" Mica nodded and entered the restaurant. Following Kofi's mother they headed up a flight of stairs and entered the apartment that was above the restaurant. "Nana is that you?" a voice called out it seemed familiar to Mica.

"Nana?" Mica said, The woman Chuckled "That's what my grandkids call me. You may call me Gunga." the voice came from what seemed to be from a hallway, it was Kiki.

"OH, it's you. Didn't' you come by earlier with Steven?", "Yeah, and the pizza was delicious by the way." Mica responded. "Here let me take these off you" Kiki took the bags from Mica and placed them in the kitchen. What sounded like a briefcase being placed on a table made Micas head turn. "You know I didn't catch your name." Gunga said as she sat in chair patting the seat next to her."it's Mica" He said walking and sitting in the chair besides her. "Mica? That's an unusual name.","And Gunga isn't?" he responded as she searched for some gauze in the first-aid kit. "Haha, I suppose it's not. Now let me see your arm. He complied with her demand and raised his arm. She wrapped his arm tightly with gauze. "There, That should keep it from falling apart." He raised an eyebrow as he fumbled with the cloth on his cloth. "You look like a child picking at the gauze, haha.", "Well, it's just… I've never seen this stuff before.".

"Do you know what Tea is?", "No…" Mica quickly responded looking up from picking at the gauze. "Kiki, can you bring me and our guest some tea?" "Okay!" Kiki called out. Foot steps came from the stairs and Kofi emerged from the dark stairwell. and marched past kiki and started to yell as he entered a room and shut the door. "Don't mind them, Jenny was out partying way too long and she's getting 'the talk' from our dad." She said placing the cups of tea on the table. "So, tell me *Gunga sips from her tea* did you really mean it back there when you said you don't know where you're from?" Mica stopped fumbled with the gauze and replied "Yea, I don't really know where I came from, Unless you count waking up inside a lab with people ready to fight to the death." Gunga and Kiki Looked wide eyed and interesting in his story.

"Uhhh, why are you looking at me like that." He asked. Kiki spoke "Well it's just, it sounds interesting would you mind if you told us your story?", "Sure, I got nothing else to do *He sips from his tea while also chewing on the bag that was inside the cup* This tastes terrible." He said continuing to chew on the teabag. "You're not suppose to eat that, it's meant to make the water into tea."Kiki stated holding back her laughter. Mica swallowed the tea bag as he said "Oh, I guess that explains why the liquid tasted better." He placed the cup back onto it's plate, and started his story.


Garnet peered through the window as she watched Mica have a conversation with the pizzas. She leaped off of the streetlight across from the apartment towards the temple. She saw Amber sitting in a chair staring at the night sky fading away as light appeared turnin night into dawn. Landing on the porch Garnet walked into the temple. Granite was still sitting in front of the tv watching it like a zombie. Steven was still asleep his blanket hanging off his bed. Garnet placed her hand on her temple as she focused. She stepped on the warp pad and vanished. The Gem door opened revealing Pearl. She would always be the first gem to greet Steven in the morning.

She was startled by a large shadow from the corner of her eye, turns out it was Granite who was still watching tv. Amber walked into the temple. and greeted Pearl with a simple wave. and "Hey." He sat on the Sofa and spoke "Oh Pearl, Steven wanted to tell you, if you could sew Granite some clothes, because they didn't have any in his size." She glanced at Granite. "What's wrong with the clothes he has on now?" "I don't think he likes them." He replied looking at Granite. "Yeah... " He closed his eyes getting lost in his mind. Pearl began to take out some pans and ingredients to make waffles, just then the warp pad activated. Amber, Granite, and Pearl turned to the sudden sound of the warp pad. Garnet appeared from the beam of light, clothes ripped and shades shattered She spoke in a serious tone. "We have a problem…".
