Fandom: Steven Universe
.......
Seeming so powerless and at her mercy, so easy to take out just by letting him fall. It was so much fun. His only real power right now was his words but Spinel already decided that she was done playing and listening to someone who was just faking to understand her to get what they wanted. Just as fake as Pink.
She didn't know too much about organic life, how the whole parent-children thing works, but she could clearly see their resemblances right now. It sure made her feel less guilty about taking her revenge over someone who had nothing to do with what happened to her. Now she had a easy way out, a easy blame to justify all her rage. It was just perfect. Almost as perfect as the show of him swinging over the void struggling not to fall and to understand what was he missing.
"This is the story of my life!"
Such a fun show, she had to laugh. What was he missing? Absolutely nothing, he got it all, everything that was taken away from her.
So she laughed in his face, a way easier action than actually listening to him, take the risk to be persuaded let her guard down again.
"This is how you started? The legend? Steven Universe?" How did such a loser become savior of the galaxy?
Sharing her thoughts just to mock him revealed to be the wrong move though. She inadvertently gave him the answer to unlock his powers back, power to fight and to talk through her again.
She couldn't let him.
But she couldn't stop him either. She didn't have the element of surprise this time and his powers, the way he changed, revealed to be tougher than she anticipated.
She could see now how he made it.
She could see his points...no. No, he couldn't understand!
No one can!
Her attacks became more frantic trying to shut him up for good. But that damn boy couldn't just shut his mouth. No, he kept giving her comebacks, finding new encouraging words that were slowly breaking through her walls again.
"We don't have to fight!"
But if she didn't fight... then what would she do? What could she do? Was it really possible for her to be fixed? To fix everything and feel okay?
"You can make a change."
Could she? How hard could it be?
...too much. No, she didn't want to listen, she didn't want to care. She didn't want to acknowledge what happened to her, how she already changed.
Silencing that sad hopeful little voice inside her head was easier. So, she prepared her fist.
She would've silenced the voice outside her head as well.
