Steven Universe: The Good, The Bad, The Destiny

I Can Show You The Light.

Steven blinked his eyes and looked around the white space he was stuck in again. He narrowed his eyes as he floated there. "Pink! Show yourself right now!"

Pink Diamond walked up to Steven frowning lightly. "I k-"

"You want to tell me what the hell that was about?!!" Steven floats up to her face glaring into her eyes.

Pink gulps lightly. "I... I'm sorry. I don't know what got over me."

"Oh, I can tell you exactly what got over you. You blew it and I want my body back." Steven folds his arms.

"But you're in so much pain. Your mind won't be able to tolerate it. Please just let me stay in control." Pink begged.

"No, you blew your chances. I told you that you could take over if it means that I would be able to live. I'm alive, so you're done." Steven slowly floats down to the invisible ground and started to walk away. "And don't think I didn't see what you did with Pearl! That's... That's... Ngh." He yelled out in frustration. "I feel violated. You know I love Connie."

"I wasn't thinking straight Steven. I'm sorry." Pink tried to reach out to him.

"I don't want to hear it..." Steven closed his eyes tearing up. "I trusted you." He opened them up and gasps lightly looking around his room. He pushed himself up using his right arm. A wave of pain shot through his body. "AHHH!!" He clenched his arm tightly.

"Steven?!" Connie sat up hearing the yell. Everyone rushed up the stairs to see what was wrong.

Bismuth pushed pass everyone gently to get to Steven's side. "Are you okay?"

Steven shakes his head. "No." He grunts. "It feels like my arm was cut off!"

"Steven??" Bismuth stood up. "Connie we're going to need your mom."

Connie sighs and pulled out her phone since Greg had left to take her mother him. "I'll be right back." She walked back downstairs.

Steven whines holding his arm tighter. "Make it stop!"

Garnet walked over slowly. "Bismuth, help me get his shirt off."

Bismuth nods holding Steven still as Garnet takes his shirt off.

Garnet looks at the wound. "Some of the stitching came loose."

Bismuth moved over to look at the wound as well. "It's only around his shoulder. Everything else seems to have already closed up. That's strange...."

Garnet slowly moved Steven's arm back to a more comfortable position. "Just keep it still like this and help will arrive soon."

Steven nods his head slowly trying to relax and ignore the pain. He slowly goes into deep thought, canceling out any noise around him. He couldn't get out of his mind what Pink did with his body with Pearl. He felt betrayed and used but knew that it wasn't her fault. Pearl was the one who kissed him first. So was it the Gems fault for kissing him because it wasn't him? Could he actually be upset with this situation? It wasn't his mind in control at the time but he still felt a little used. Pearl did apologize to him... Should he forgive her?

".....ven?.... Steven?" Connie called his name softly, kneeling in front of him.

Steven blinked a few times looking up at her. "Hey." He smiled.

"Hey." Connie laughs nervously. "You kinda went blank on us. My mom should be here soon."

Steven nods his head again. "Good, cause I don't think I can take this pain anymore." He just wanted to lay down and forget about today.

"What's bothering you the most right now?" Connie asked.
