3rd Person P.O.V.

(Pink Diamond) What?! 

(Batman) You're going back to Homeworld.

(Pink Diamond) Now?!

(Batman) No. But you will in time. But first, you need to make things right on Earth first. You can start by telling the gems about your true identity. 

She looked scared to do so. Only Pearl knows who she really is, but Garnet, Amethyst and Lapis doesn't. She had told them lies after lies and if the truth would be revealed, it could ruin their friendship.

Garnet was believed she was right for her fusion, Amethyst looked up to Rose Quartz and Lapis is currently getting used to work with others and trusted Rose Quartz. Knowing Rose Quartz is Pink Diamond all along would make them question whether they should even trust her anymore or even be on this planet any more. Batman can tell she's having a hard time considering it.

(Batman) I know it would be hard, but it's better to get it over with. I'll be there to help you atone for your wrongdoings. 

(Pink Diamond) How do I know you aren't just saying that and you'll just leave me to deal with it alone?

She crossed her arms and looked at him with a displeased look. She sounded like she had an encounter like this before, perhaps the same situation with others she knows.

(Batman) I'm a man of my word. If that isn't enough to prove my word, then this will.

He took the cowl off to reveal his true face.

(Pink Diamond) B-Bruce?!

(Bruce) I figured it would be fair since I revealed your identity. Is it good enough for you?

(Pink Diamond) Y-Yes... I suppose...

Bruce puts his mask back on.

(Pink Diamond) I suggest you would want me to keep it quiet?

(Batman) Yes.

She exhaled, despite not needing to breathe. 

(Pink Diamond) All right... Let's do it...

She returns to her default form as Rose Quartz since she chose to look like a rose quartz when she reformed last time she was poofed. She'll shapeshift into Pink Diamond when she steps inside the house to reveal her true self when she gathers everyone. Since she's coming clean, she also has to be poofed again so she'll reform as the Diamond she is. 

She opens the door and walks inside the house with Batman right behind her. Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst and Lapis were in the main room and their attention was brought to the door when they heard it open. They were a little surprised to see Batman.

(Amethyst) Oh, hey Batman. What brings you by?

(Rose Quartz) He's just here to help me tell you all something.

(Lapis) What is it?

(Rose Quartz) Well... It's more like show, rather than tell, but I guess I have to show and tell you.

(Amethyst) Show and tell? Isn't that something kids do?

(Garnet) We're not children, though. No one in the room is.
