Steven Universe- Lapis Lazuli X Male Reader

What the Hell is a Rejuvenator?! / Getting Everyone's Memories Back

(Atop the tower in the center of Little Homeworld, Peridot inspects the Injector with a pair of binoculars, while You, Steven, Lapis and Bismuth look on.)

Peridot: She rode in on that?!

Steven: Yeah. She said my "human half" wouldn't stand a chance against her Injector.

Lapis: What does that mean?

Peridot: Why don't we just ask her?

Y/N: I don't think she would be too much help

Lapis: What do you mean?

(Bismuth splits off from the group to think, accidentally overstepping her boundaries and coming a little too close to Sapphire; enough to trigger a growling Ruby.)

Y/N: Well-

(Spinel creeps up from behind Steven and pokes at his shoulders.)

Steven: Hmm? What? Where'd she-

(Spinel pops up from behind Steven, startling him.)

Steven: Aah!

Spinel: Surprise! *laughs*

Y/N: That's why

Steven: Here she is... My new best friend, Spinel.

(Spinel bows dramatically and speaks in a faux-posh accent.)

Spinel: A pleasure to meet you all.

Bismuth: I thought you said she was just trying to kill you.

Y/N: Well see she was, But now she's like uh, This

Lapis: Wow. Quick turnaround.

Peridot: No kidding. It took me months to stop trying to kill Steven.

Bismuth: I say it took me a day- day and a half?

Lapis: I'm still on the fence.

(The three Gems all share a laugh.)

Peridot: Alright, let's see this thing she hit you with.

Y/N: Steven, You still got that trinket with you?

Steven: Y-Yeah, I do

(Steven pulls out the deactivated scythe and hands it to Peridot, who begins to examine it in the least safe way possible.

Peridot: Whoa. Was there, like, uh, a laser or-

(Bismuth hurriedly snatches the weapon from Peridot's hands before she could activate it.)

Bismuth: Be careful with that! It's a Rejuvenator. *reluctantly activates the weapon* 

Y/N: And A Rejuvinator is, What exactly?

Bismuth: Homeworld used to use these things on Gems that started steppin' out of line. One hit with this... *deactivates the Rejuvenator* You're back to how they made you.

Y/N: So, that's why the gems are like this?

Bismuth: 'Fraid so

(Bismuth sadly looks at Ruby and Sapphire, as the former assumes a defensive stance to protect the latter.)

Ruby: What are you lookin' at?

Peridot: Oh my stars, I touched it! I could have lost all my character development! Wait, how did you survive being hit by that thing, Steven?

Steven: I- I think I didn't. My human half kept me from poofing, but- but my Gem half, it took the hit! She sent me back; it's like I'm a kid again! I can barely control my powers! How do we reverse this? Oh no... Do I need to get the Diamonds?
