all i want to be is someone who gets to see

Who: Steven Universe and YOU.
Where: Various places.
When: June 16th and onward.
What: Steven Universe has been left in LA while his assorted moms save the universe or something. He brought a lion.
Warnings: TOO CUTE TO LIVE.

[FIRST DAY: ALPHA FORCE TOWER]

He's already said his goodbyes. A few times, in fact. In between the crying and the pleading. He'd initially insisted that it was no big deal and that he was a big kid who could handle himself just fine, but being actually faced with the Gems just vanishing for who knows how long...well, Steven had always been an emotional kid.

His tears have dried by now, and he is finally certain that he's been left to his own devices. The Gems had to talk to some of the Alpha Force before leaving, but Steven had scarcely participated, feeling uncomfortable and wary of the whole thing. His natural sense of curiousity and wonder at being in a new place could only do so much in the face of such a totally drastic change in circumstances.

He wanders around the tower, prodding at things that he probably shouldn't, and generally moping in all the expected ways. His tummy hurts, and it's not because he's hungry.

[ON THE TOWN: AND ON A LION!]

As expected, Lion deigns to show himself a day or so after Steven arrives, and he immediately takes the opportunity to frolic with all his might. Staying still is making Steven feel nervous and worried, and so he decides what he really need to do is give himself a tour of the city. You know, without really telling anyone. He never had to in Beach City, so why should he here?

Especially when he is literally riding around a massive pink lion bareback.

He can be found in various parts of the city with a ukulele strapped to his back, and some kind of map he has probably picked up from a gas station. Unfortunately he has no idea how to read it, and despite spending quite a bit of time discussing it with Lion, his mount appears to have few answers for the boy.

[AUTOBOT CENTRAL: THE SMALLEST HUMAN EVER]

It doesn't take long for someone to let the fact slip that CONDOR is also hosting a selection of giant robots, and once Steven knows about it, it is impossible to stop him. It takes some doing to beg and nag the information out of people, but eventually someone caves and escorts him there, if only to make him stop asking.

Steven sneaks into the massive botcave, looking positively astonished, even before he sees any aliens. He stands somewhere near the entrance, gawking shamelessly.

"Whoaaa..."

"Really now. Hate to break it to you, kid, but you're clearly either mistaken or delusional." He shoves his hands back in his pockets and takes a step back, glaring down at the ground and adjusting his sunglasses with one hand in an awkward effort to cover his face without looking like he's covering his face. "I've never seen you before."

“That’s incredible. Honestly. You must be gifted to have powers like those. I don’t think even our best medics would be able to work that fast.”

Drift’s almost tempted to introduce Steven to Rachet, except…who knows how well that’d go over. Probably not very. But chances are, they’d meet at up some point anyway.

Well, Miko sure isn't going to question the connection between holograms and laser beams. "Oh man that would be so cool. You gotta look into that, maybe the other Gems know more about it!"

"Why would I tell you that?" He glowers suspiciously at Steven. What is this kid planning? Is he planning anything?

"...Of course you could," Lina mutters, giving Steven a nonplussed, almost resigned stare, her mouth pinched. Then she sighs and gives him a closer look, giving him a good once-over.

"What were you doing down there? If you're looking for spare change, you can forget it -- they keep the place pretty clean."

That, and if there's any spare change to be found, you can bet Lina's already spotted it and nabbed it. Granted, she hasn't snuck a look under the couches lately, but still...

All Rodimus needs to hear is 'I like your colours' and he's sold. This kid is okay in his book.

"Your colours aren't so bad either." Could use more red. Like, maybe a red hat. "And of course I can do flips," Rodimus sounds genuinely insulted by that fact that this is even a question. "...what're you doing?"
positiveenergy: (Stop right there)

“Hmm…Guess that’s a good point.” Drift doesn’t seem too bothered by this though, and he flashes Steven a grin. “But if you think I’m big? You must not’ve met everyone here.”

That was not exceptionally informative. Magnus had to stop and remind himself that Steven's (ridiculously) young age meant he wouldn't know as much about the world as would be expected.

"Is it because you are half Gem that you possess abilities outside the norm for humans?"

"Nah, I'm just looking for a mate." He squints right back at Steven. He looks way too young to be on Alpha Force but honestly you never know with heroes these days, "are you?"

Kids who want to be heroes is something Chris (thinks he) has experience with now, at least. He grins down at Steven, "bet you could be though, yeah?"

"Maybe I don't want to be polite." He crosses his arms, too, setting his shoulders back and generally trying to make up for the extra height Steven's gained by riding on a lion. It's actually a very similar stance to how he stood the first time they met.
pullingamiko: (whoa)

She frowns, brow furrowing. "Really? Why not, are they missing?" Wow, that would really suck for him.

"Can't say that I've ever had that experience, but no, probably not," Rodimus replies crossing his arms. "D'you even know how to drive? Don't humans have some sort of age limit on that?" Rodimus saw this on theNetflix.
positiveenergy: (Waitin for it)

Drift’s surprised to hear that Steven’s met some of the other Autobots, who then apparently proceeded to just leave him here, on his own. Seems a little rude, seeing how Steven’s a guest here, and a new one at that.

No need to worry, you’re with the hospitable robot now.

“Hmmm guess you’re right. People on earth are mostly the same size as each other, from what I’ve seen.” At least, compared to how things are with Cybertronians. “So who’s Garnet, anyway?”
