I don't know why I agreed to go back to Homeworld.

Oh wait, yes I do.

It's because it took almost half an hour of convincing to make them agree that taking Steven to their fountain would have a higher success rate than blindly going to Homeworld. Especially since that they are almost certain that there is a coup going on. Why else would the communication go down. Why else would the injector go off without anyone in the ship actually employing it.

The worst feeling is being just as clueless as everyone else.

I was the one that brought all of this chaos upon them. I just wish I had something to offer them, some information, some help,anything at all. The constant reminder of my mistakes pulls weight onto my gem. The after math of being subjected to the poison is still causing it to burn.

"Okay so we are going to use the warp pad to get to Homeworld."

Garnet stands next to me, after helping Amethyst and Pearl get Steven in the car. I don't know how I feel about going back so soon. It hasn't even been a full day since I ran away. I don't even know how to explain why I had ran away in the first place.

Oh yeah I was just had to escape Homeworld on a ship cause I was feeling bad. I just had to hop on a high jacked plane ride half way across the universe to head to earth. No big deal, next time I'll leave a note.

I almost laugh at the sarcasm. But before I could do anything Garnet was already on the other side of the room. Making my way off the couch and over to the warp pad, I begin to truly realize the extent of the exhaustion caused by that poison.

It's more important for Steven to get help. I need to clear up all of this mess. Clearly, I'm not unconscious right now so I should be okay...at least for now.

I make a mental list of all the questions I have.

1) what the heck is going on?
2)who deployed the injector?
3) why was the injector detonated?
4) why was I the one tricked into landing it?
5) do the diamonds really know what's going on?

Yeah I think that's most of it. I take the steps going up onto the platform one at a time. I don't know why I am beginning to feel so anxious. We need to figure this out, and as soon as possible.

I don't want to think of what would happen if Steven wasn't able to get healed by the fountain. And if the Diamonds didn't have any solutions. Or worse. If they were overtaken by other rebelling gems.

I have only heard of the chaos caused by angry gems, wishing for conformity. The only time I had to deal with someone like that was when someone decided to land an injector into earth to destroy it of all life.

And that was me.
