Invincible walks out of the warp pad, feeling his stomach and his body, hoping nothing got lost, checking his pants.

"Oh thank god" Invincible said in relief as Lapis giggled at him.

"Sorry, it's always funny to see people's reactions" Lapis said giggling at Invincible checking himself.

"Yeah ha ha" Invincible said, looking around the place he teleported in.

The wrap pad shows a crystal like temple, with glass all over in a beautifully display, Invincible follows Lapis through a doorway, into another home all together.

"Wow" Invincible said, seeing into a now more human-looking home compared to the crystal like temple.

The house was a modest-sized dwelling with one large interior room and an upper level. The upper level served as a bedroom while the main interior contained a lounge with a fireplace and a kitchen/bar. The door to the bathroom was located on the back left, past the fireplace, while the bathroom itself was built directly below the upper level. Outside was a balcony with further seating and an umbrella. Hanging inside, a picture of a pink woman was above the door. The far side of the house's interior opened into the foyer of the Crystal room. Just outside the Temple Gate was a Warp Pad where Invincible and Lapis came in.

"Welcome to the beach house" Lapis welcomes the superhero, Invincible looks around the nice place.

"Wow, this is a nice place, who lives here?" Invincible asked. Looking to see someone at the door, looking to see Peal walk forward with a broom in hand.

"Another day, another clean home, ohhh hello" Peal said, noticing people in the beach house.

"You're Peal" Invincible pointed out, seeing one of the Crystal gems.

"Yes and you are?" Peal asked, using the boom and pointing it at the intruder.

"It's Invincible, the one Cecil said to send back up for" Lapis said, Peal looks surprised at her.

"Oh, and you brought him here" Peal asked, Lapis shrugs.

"I figure he comes for a visit, takes the shortcut to earth, Steven talks about him" Lapis said as Invincible waves his hand.

"I'm sorry for intruding, I can leave if you want" Invincible said, willing to leave if he was causing a bother but Peal waves it off.

"It's fine, just a little warning would be nice, and I have to clean the place up a little" Peal said looking around; the place looks clean as far as Invincible is concerned.

"Peal likes to keep everything tidy" Lapis said to him, Peal began to put away her broom in the closet.

"Where are Steve and the others?" Lapis asked, Peal turned to them.

"Steven went to Connie for training, Amethyst went to get pizza with Jasper, Peridots in the lab, but I'm not sure where Garnet is" Peal tells them, just when she said that Garnet comes in through the door.

"You took longer than I thought" Garnet said, walking though the place as Invincible looks at Garnet in awe and is thankful for the mask to hide his face.

"Holy shit, your Garnet, I'm…you…wow" Invincible tires to say, Garnet is the most powerful Gem on the planet, leader of the Crystal Gems, so powerful she was offer a place on the Guardians of the Globe, even got a temporary membership until she turn it down but still helped out everyone who asked for it.

And a crush from Invincible as well, him having a few wet dreams every now and then.

Even a sexy photo of her in his room.

"Invincible, Steven told me all so much about you" Garnet said, giving a hand to shake.

"All good things I hope" Invincible said sheepish, shaping her hand.

"Good enough to see you already shooting for the moon" Garnet pun as Invincible laugh lightly.

"ha yeah moon, flying" Invincible said to her, Lapis groaned at her.

"That a bad joke Garnet" Lapis said, shaking her head, Peal starts cutting up food for dinner later.

"I thought it was funny hahahaha" Peal said, trying to laugh at Garnet pun but it looks forced as everyone looks at her, Peal quits down and starts getting the food ready.

"Guess Cecil and I were both wrong to send backup, you proving to be a capable hero" Garnet said to him, Invincible is thankful for his mask to hide his blush.

"Yeah thank you, wait you send Lapis?" Invincible asked, looking at her.

"Garnet said you may need help against a very powerful alien from space" Lapis said, giving the reason why she was sent to the moon as well.

"How did you…? Oh right your future vision" Invincible snaps his fingers in realisation, one of Garnet's infamous powers is seeing the future, not many people know this.

The only reason Invincible knows is because his Dad works with Garnet a few times, and told him a few times.

"Seem Nolan told you that" Garnet said to him, Invincible nods.

"Yeah my dad, wait you know he is my dad?" Invincible said, Garnet nodding.

"Cecil and I work closely together, what he knows I know and vice versa" Garnet explains to him.

"Cecil does help us when we ask, when he is not teleporting in the kitchen," Peal said to them, putting food on the stove.

"He does get annoying half the time," Lapis said, not liking Cecil.

"Don't be hard on him, he has more weight on his shoulder then anyone I know" Garnet said, defending Cecil to her teammates, Garnet respects Cecil too much and doesn't like people insulting her friend.

"Well he could at least use the warp pad instead of teleporting uninvited" Peal grumbles, Cecil using his own teleporting tech then the warp pad the Gems gave him, it is rude for him to teleport without knocking.

"So I always wonder, do your future powers work like, "this is going to happen" see the future or "this is what's probably going to happen" see the future?" Invincible asked, wanting to clarify it for a while.

"More the second one, sort of. Time is like a river, which splits to various paths, and I see all the paths it could possibly take" Garnet explains her future vision.

"Right, so is this power always on? Can you tell what ones are most likely? What can you see about the future?" Invincible asked her, wanting to know more.

"I have to actively look into possible futures, and I have to pick what I'm looking into the future of. I also have to judge for myself which future is the most likely." Garnet sighs, having given his explanation more than once.

"That's amazing, so you thought I needed help?" Invincible asked, with Garnet nodding.

"When Cecil informs me of something attacking the earth, I get more than a few future visions of each monster only Omni-man could take on, please forgive me for doubting you" Garnet bows her head apologising, Invincible shakes her hands.

"No no, it's fine, it was my first time in space and Allen didn't hold his punches" Invincible admits to her.

"Allen?" Lapis said, getting Invincible attention.

"Yeah his name is Allen, works for an alien alliance and thought he was testing the planet against invaders but it was the wrong planet, Uarth instead" Invincible explains, but Lapis looks confused.

"How did he tell you?" Lapis asked, she saw the fight and they didn't talk, they stare at each other whenever they stop fighting but no words between them. Lapis watches the fight without telepathy.

All she saw was Invincible fighting this Allen until he stopped, then they sat down until he flew away.

"Allen has telepathy" Invincible said, thought that would explain everything.

"Gems don't have organic brains" Peal mentions the fact, telepathy doesn't work on gem-like bodies.

"Really?" Invincible asked, as Garnet shakes her head.

"Why don't you head out to find Steven, he outside training with Conner, maybe stay for dinner" Garnet said to him, an Invincible nods his head.

"Sure Steven said he would give me a tour" Invincible flies through the door outside to find Steven, leaving the Gems to watch him go.

"So that the half viltrumite" Peal whispers, aware of the Omni-man's powers and Invincible gaining all of them slowly.

"Correct, he has a big destiny ahead of him" Garnet said, looking in Invincible directions, seeing many futures with him, some good, bad and all in between.

"Shouldn't we do something" Lapis said, aware of viltrumite and their powers.

"Nothing we can do, but to prepare for the time" Garnet said, knowing things are going to be more dangerous now that the Guardians now pass.

"But Omni-man knows about us, he always gets nervous about us" Lapis said, the Crystal Gems have an interesting relationship with Omni-man, while they work together when the people are at stake he always keeps his distance from them.

Even Garnet, when she helps the Guardians and Omni-man doing the same, Omni-man keeps his distance and speaks short whenever they talk, like he is expecting them to attack.

Omni-man knows something about where the Gems come from and what their leader Rose Quartz was leading them against.

"Omni-man fears us, whatever it is? We need to know" Garnet said, knowning about the Omni-man planet of Viltrumite, that is going around helping planets.

Yet he killed the Guardians, earth's greatest protectors, Cecil's knows and is preparing when they get ready to take him out. Garnet hasn't told the team about the Guardian's death, they know Omni-man is acting suspicious whenever the Gems are mentioned.

"But what about Invincible" Lapis said, not wanting Invincible to be hurt involving his father.

"Time will tell for Mark, but I have faith in him," Garnet said, getting Peal and Lapis's attention.

"Why's that?" Peal said, if Omni-man feels threaten by the Gems then Invincible could be influenced by his father.

"Because Steven is his friend" Garnet smiles, knowing Steven bring the best out of everyone he meets.

LINE

Invincible flies around the beach, seeing the beautiful ocean water surrounding the place.

"Steven lives in a beach house, lucky" Invincible said, a bit jealous of Steven, looking around he heard weapon fighting from a distance.

(Connie as a teenager in her fighting outfit)

Flying around to where he heard the fighting.

Invincible looks to find Steven fighting with a pretty black girl with a pink sword, both are wearing training gear. But what got Invincible attention was the pink lion sleeping on the side of them.

"Is that lion pink?" Invincible asked, never seeing a pink lion before, getting the attention of Steven and the black girl. But the lion just sleeps.

"Oh wow, Invincible is here, Connie you're seeing him right" Steven points at Invincible to the now name Connie.

"Yes Steven I see him" Connie said looking at the flying Hero, as Invincible flies down.

"Steven it me" Invincible said, Steven gasping in surprise.

"Oh my god, Connie, Invincible knows my name" Steven smiles while nudging Connie, she gives a smile back.

"Yeah Steven I said your name" Connie said, Invincible hear her saying his name.

"No Steven, it's me, Mark, we go to high school together" Invincible said, lifting up his mask to reveal he was Mark.

"Oh my god, Mark you're Invincible, that's so cool, Connie, Mark's Invincible" Steven said in excitement, Mark was Invincible, his new friends a superhero.

"Yeah I know Steven, sorry about him, I'm Connie by the way" Connie introduces herself with a handshake to Mark.

"Mark, nice to meet you" Mark said, as Steven got over the fact Mark is Invincible.

"Surprise you'd fly here Mark, I could have teleported you here" Steven said, willing to give Mark a ride.

"Oh that's fine, Lapis teleported with me" Mark explained to them, telling them about the moon mission and fighting Allen the alien.

"Wow you can fight in space" Conner said in awe, Mark fighting aliens in space now.

"That's cool, and you found the gems moon base" Steven said as well.

"Yeah it awesome" Mark said, happy to talk about his powers,

"What about you, what's your power?" Mark asked Connie, but he shook her head.

"Oh I don't have powers, I mean I'm pretty good with a sword but nothing much" Connie said, compared to Steven and Mark, she is underpowered.

"What no way, Connie amazing, she so smart, she going to College despite be our age, amazing fighter and can beat anyone, she was trained by Peal and even she said Connie is strong for a human, plus she way more stronger than an average human" Steven praise Connie as she blush from Steven praise, Mark looks impressed as well.

"That high praise coming from Steven" Mark smiles, seeing the obvious affection Steven has.

"Please he praises everyone" Connie said humble as Steven smiles at her.

"No way Connie, you could take on anyone" Steven said as Connie smiled at him.

"Well if you didn't heal my eyesight by accident I would still be blind" Connie said as Steven laughed.

"Oh yeah, that helps me more than you would believe," Steven said, Mark looked curious.

"You healed her eye-sight?" Mark asked, aware of Rosé's healing spit.

"Oh right Steven spit healed my poor eyesight, now I have 20 20 vision" Connie explains to him.

"My Mother had healing tears, the gems said I inherited her powers with her gem" Steven lifts his shirt to show Mark's his gem.

Mark looks at the pink gem on Steven belly button.

"Your power comes from your Mom, and you took her gem" Mark said but then remembered something about the Gems.

"Wait, aren't Gems bodies holograms or something" Mark asked, remembering watching a video of Amethyst getting hurt and then proofing to dust, but was seen recovering later, people online say as long as the Crystal Gem's main gems are intact they can reform later.

"Yeah my dad had a kid with my mum, Rose Quartz" Steven explains to him, as Mark thinks about this.

"So gems can have…well do things with humans" Mark said to himself as both Steven and Connie blushed at that.

They are not kids anymore and are aware of the birds and bees but still.

"Can we please not talk about this" Steven said, not very comfortable about talking about his birth.

"Right sorry, but if your mom has healing tears why do you have healing spit" Mark asked, seeing why Steven got healing spit instead of tears.

"That's just how he inherited his powers, my theory is cause he has more liquid in his body compared to gems" Connie tries to explain her theory on gems and Steven herself.

"Yeah I'm just weird that way, but it's cool" Steven said, not caring about what others think of him, he is happy to be himself.

"Don't know how you do Steven" Mark said, seeing Steven be so cheerful despite going to high school and being a superhero, teleporting from here to his school as well.

"Well I have great friends Mark, and I have accepted I have an alien gem in my belly" Steven said to him, giving his gem a wipe.

"That it? Just accepting it" Mark said looking at him.

"Yeah as long as you're happy with what you're doing, that's all you need to do" Steven said to him as Mark smiled.

"I guess I should try to be happy I guess" Mark said to him, both Steven and Connie smiled at him.

"It's getting late, want to come for dinner Connie?" Steven asked, but Connie checked her watch.

"Sorry Steven I got an assignment due soon, maybe I'll come by tonight, I'll call you" Connie said grabbing her sword and bag, giving the two a wave.

"Bye Steven, nice meeting you Mark" Connie waves them off as does Steven and Mark.

"So where did she get the sword?" Mark asks, seeing a girl carrying a big sword like it is nothing.

"That my mum's sword, found it in Lion here" Steven gave the sleeping lion a pat, said lion began to wake up, letting out a yawn with his big teeth.

The lion opens his eyes to see Steven and another unknown, growling at the unknown superhero.

GRRRRRR

Mark flown away from the lion,

"Woooh ,Woohh, Lion it ok, this is my friend, Lion meet Mark, Mark meet lion" Steven calms down Lion as before introducing the too.

"How is that lion pink?" Mark asked, forgetting about the pink lion sleeping in the side.

"Lion was with my Mother's, we're not sure how pink he is but he is awesome" Steven said, giving the lion a pet and Lion purrs from getting scratches.

Mark is amazed seeing Steven petting a fully grown Lion like it a little cat, Mark smiles as he lowers to the ground.

"He also has cool tricks" Steven said, reaching to the lion mane his hand disappeared into a pink glow and pulled out a bag of chips, to Mark's surprise.

"You keep chips in its mane" Mark said, looking at the bag of chips in Steven's hand.

"He, and yes, he has a Pocket Dimension in his mane that only I can access to" Steven said, opening that bag of chips, and eating some.

"You want one?" Steven asked, offering one bag to him, Mark looked at the bag of chips and the pink lion.

"Ok" Mark said, taking the bag of chips and opening them up to eat.

Steven and Mark sit on the beach eating chips while sitting next to a pink lion.

"You got handy powers" Mark can't help but say, healing spit, shield and now a pet lion that can store things into.

"I make the best of them, but you're cool too, flying, fighting and moving in space, I need a bubble to go to space but I can't move or anything" Steven said his own experience in going to space, only having a pink bubble for air.

"Still more useful than mine," Mark said, eating the chips.

"Maybe but we make the most with what he got, I have to imagine different ways for my shield to be more than a shield, Atom Eve needs to know about all that elementary and science stuff, your superhuman everything and can fly, your could do more with less" Steven said to him, with Mark thinking on it.

"Never thought of it that way" Mark said, Steven nods.

"The more you do it, the better you get, no one is perfect on the first few tries" Steven said to him with Mark nodding.

Until both hearing someone falling, looking up they see a familiar orange figure coming down.

"Oh shit" Mark said, Steven, Mark and Lion jumped out of the way as the figure landed on the ground, sand covering the area clear to reveal Jasper.

"Durable, you made it" Jasper smiles, see Mark here.

"Jasper!" Mark said, before flying up to avoid Jasper trying to grab him.

"Come on Durable, don't be a pussy, get down here and fight me like a man" Jasper yelled, trying to get Mark to fight her.

"Calm down Jasper Mark just came for a visit" Steven tries to calm her down but she is not having it.

"OH no little man, you're not stopping me from fighting, come on Durable, show me what you're made of!" Jasper shouted, Mark looked at her and smiled.

"It's Invincible" Invincible said, putting his mask back on, seeing Jasper wanted to fight, he gave her one.

"Come on!" Jasper shouted, Invincible dives her into the ground, launching into some rocks.

"I have plenty more than that," Invincible said, looking to see Jasper laughing.

"That more like it" Jasper charges at Invincible who returns it, charging forward both smash into each other, both trying to push the other.

"Here we go" Steven said, getting ready to heal them if they push it too far, Lion watches near him.

"It takes more than strength to stop me, durable" Jasper grins, throws Invincible over her shoulder and into a rock wall, Invincible smashes into it.

"Oww '' Invincible said, not really hurt but getting through into a wall isn't pleasant.

"Flying won't help if you don't know how to fight, you can fight in any direction" Jasper advises charging at him, Invincible gets up and flies to her, ready a right hook.

Invincible swings his arm but Jasper grabs it, pulling him down and into the ground.

"You need to fight like you're in space when you're flying, flying opponents fight better in the air" Jasper said, throwing Invincible in the air then jumping to him, Invincible got his bearings to avoid another punch from Jasper.

Taking her advice, Invincible, flying around, using his speed and flying to fight around Jasper, punching her back, then her side and again on the other side.

Flying around Jasper who laughs the whole time she is getting a beating in the air.

"Now your getting it" Jasper laughs, grabbing Invincible from another hit, holding him close to her Jasper begins to fall while holding Invincible.

"Let go of me" Invincible tires to break free but Jasper is holding him with her strength.

"Come on, fight dirty, fight clever, just fight" Jasper yells falling to the ground while holding him tight, Invincible looks around, using his flying he turns Jasper around, falling backward Invincible propels himself straight to the ground at fast speed.

CRAAAASSSSSHHHHHHHH

A giant crash is heard as Steven and Lion run up to the crater to see Jasper laughing and Invincible taking a breath, exhausted from the fight.

"You alright guys?" Steven asked, but Jasper just kept laughing.

"Hell yeah I'm alright, hahahaha, that was fun durable" Jasper said, letting go of Invincible as he takes a deep breath.

"Yeah, never thought I would have fun" Invincible said, he was always fighting either to save the world or training with his dad, he never fought for the sack of it, for fun even.

"You guys need healing?" Steven asked, seeing that everyone who fights with Jasper always needs healing.

"I'm good, just need dry cleaning" Invincible said, seeing his costume now has sand in it.

Jasper gives him a slap on the back sending him down on the ground.

"Pretty good, durable, come over anytime for more lessons" Jasper said with a grin, jumping out of the crater to head off somewhere.

"You sure you don't want healing?" Steven asked, seeing Mark groan as he got up.

"Maybe just a little" Mark said, rubbing his back, Steven licks his hand and puts it on Mark's back, healing the injured.

"Come on let go, dinner should be ready by now" Steven said, with Mark nodding, both boys head for the beach house.

Mark's flying there while Steven runs next to him.

"You're pretty fast," Mark said, never noticing how fast Steven was.

"Thank you, wish I could fly though" Steven said, looking at a flying Mark, both chuckling as they walked into the house.

But they stop; see all the Gem inside, from Garnet, Peal, Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Jasper and Peridot all stare in shock at the TV.

Steven and Mark look confused at what is happening.

"What's wrong, did Jasper break something?" Steven asks, but Mark looks at the TV, Steven turns as well, Mark looks down as Steven looks shocked.

On screen was Breaking News, Guardians of the Globe dead, all members were attacked and killed.

"It is unknown who killed them, but with the Guardians now past, the globe will moan for them" The new reporter said as Pearl mutes the TV.

"Oh my god, someone killed the Guardians!" Amethyst said, holding her hair in shock and fear, the Guardians were the world's strongest team, now dead.

"This is bad, this is bad, really bad" Peal said, freaking out as she tried to calm herself.

"Oh no, Aquarus, I'm so sorry, oh Aquaria, this shouldn't have happened" Lapis Lazuli cries for her friend, she knew the Atlantians, they were there for her when Lapis needed help, from Aquarus and his wife, becoming great friends, there were even going to make her Godmother to their children.

"No no no, it's a trick, they're alive doing a secret mission, or trap in the future or something" Peridot denies their death, trying to figure out where they could be.

"Who did this!?" Jasper said, looking at the TV screen, not seeing information on who killed the Guardians, Jasper growled in frustration.

"Oh god, I can't believe it" Steven said, not believing his heroes have been killed, turning to Mark he looks down as well.

"When were you going to tell us!?" Jasper asked, turning to the leader of the Crystal gems, Garnet looked down with a frown.

"Wait Garnet knows before the news knows" Amethyst points at her.

"Garnet does speak to that arrogant human more often than not" Peridot said, as everyone looks at Garnet.

"I couldn't find a good time to tell, best you find out yourselves" Garnet said, finding it hard to tell everyone the bad news.

"What your future vision didn't find a good future to tell us" Jasper said, getting in Garnet's face.

"Jasper that enough" Peal tries to say but Jasper doesn't back down.

"You know they were killed, so tell me, who killed them?" Jasper asked her, knowing her Future sight can see who killed them. This got everyone's attention, Garnet signs before looking at all of them, from the gems to the half humans.

Garnet's eyes linger on Mark, but no one could see it because of her glasses.

"I already told Ceil all the futures of their death, he is watching many suspects" Garnet said neutrally but it didn't work for Jasper.

"So much for your future vision" Jasper scoffs at her, Garnet narrows her eyes at her.

"I've seen more than one version of their death every time I see their faces, I know them longer than you Jasper" Garnet said, not going to take Jasper crap.

Jasper grit her teeth, as she was about to start a fight.

"OK guys, this is very bad, the guardians have moved on, we have to get ready for the funeral" Steven said, getting in between them, stopping them from fighting.

Everyone just sits down, Jasper growls walking out of the house, the mood now down.

"I need to go to Atlantis, I'm sorry" Lapis said, tears in her eyes as she ran out to the ocean.

"Does that mean we're the strongest Superhero team in the world now?" Amethyst said, checking her social media and seeing all the tweets about the Guardians death and who will replace them. Peridot looks on the screen, seeing her going to be working around the clock with the Guardian's death.

The Crystal Gems are the second most powerful team on Earth, just behind the Guardians, but now.

"I doubt we'll take their place, are we?" Peal said, looking at Garnet but she shakes her head.

"Cecil asks me to supervise members who wish to join the new Guardians of the Globe, Robot will be leading but I will advise them" Garnet said, Cecil asked her to help Robot out in recruiting for the New Guardians of the Globe.

"In the meantime will have to pull out weight until the new guardians are ready" Garnet tells them, every other superhero team will be doing more work now that the Guardians have kicked the bucket.

"I think I'll head off, thanks for everything" Mark said, seeing this should be the time to leave as Steven nods.

"You don't seem surprised" Steven notes, not seeing a look of despair on Mark's face.

"My dad was attacked with the Guardians, he is recovering" Mark said, Steven looks sad.

"Well if he needs more healing let me know" Steven offers, Mark nods to him, taking off to head home.

"It's going to be hard," Steven said, knowing the Guardians are dead and now things are going to get worse, Garnet comforts him.

"As long as we're together will be ok" Garnet said, giving Steven a hug as they embrace each other.
