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..."

[Autobot Central]

Magnus had been working in one of the side rooms from the main space, but hearing something that was certainly not one of his teammates brought him out to investigate. Seeing a human he didn't recognized caused him to take a slow indrawn breath of irritation, steeling himself for another unproductive conversation. The fact that CONDOR still hadn't done anything about their request to screen visitors was starting to get extremely annoying. He would probably have to send them another request that something be done. This was getting unacceptable.

"You there. What do you think you are doing here?" He crossed the room slowly, expression bordering somewhere suspicion and concern as he noticed the size of their unexpected guest.

"That is not entirely accurate, we are Cybertronian."

Magnus had no problem ignoring Steven's awestruck demeanor. As Optimus Prime's Second in Command he had plenty of rookie Autobots address him with a similar manner in the past.

He got down on one knee to engage Steven more directly. He still wanted answers.
"I will ask again, what is your purpose for entering this facility?"

[AUTOBOT CENTRAL]

Drift had been out driving around the perimeter of the base, getting a better scope of the area, and he’s still in his alt. mode when he heads back towards the botcave. He almost misses Steven entirely on his way in, but manages to catch sight of him by the front entrance and moves to pull up beside him.

“Oh, hello! Are you, umm…are you looking for something?”

Ever since they’d moved here, humans sure have been showing up a lot. Drift actually finds himself looking forward to the visits, unlike some of his teammates, and he sounds cheerful as he speaks. If anything, it was nice to finally talk openly with a few humans, and not have to worry about hiding behind an avatar.

ON THE TOWN

Miko has seen enough weird stuff here to have gotten somewhat more selective about what she pays attention to (somewhat, not very), but this definitely seems worth paying attention to.

She half-jogs up to Steven and Lion, a delighted grin spread across her face. "Dude, is that a lion? How d'you even find a pink lion?"

Whoever he is, he’s sure excitable. Drift finds himself taking a liking to this human already, even if he doesn’t seem to know much about personal space.

“Yeah, I guess I am a car, but not like the one’s you’re used to! Not even including the talking. Back up a bit and I can show you.”

Jon is walking Ghost, in that Jon is walking next to Ghost, who more or less goes where he wants. Where he wants to go is currently, towards the magical lion, who he sniffs curiously. Jon follows along behind him, giving Steven and Lion a faint, apologetic smile.

Ghost backs away, faintly offended. Jon raises his eyebrows.

"That's a big cat."

So. In addition to being a car…”

He waits until Steven’s put a decent amount of distance between them before he starts switching out of vehicle mode. As soon as the transformation’s finished, Drift gets to his feet and gestures down at himself, grinning as he talks. “This is what I normally look like.”

Steven’s winning him over pretty quickly. The excitement’s contagious and Drift finds his smile widening as he sits back down and crosses his legs – leaning forward so that they’re closer to being at eye-level.

“Yeah, that’s right! Every one of my teammates can change into some sort of vehicle or another. It's pretty normal where we come from."

"Important superhero stuff, huh?" She looks pretty incredulous, but it's the kind of amused, good-natured incredulity of someone who isn't quite sure she actually believes what she's hearing, but doesn't see any real need to question it. "Mind if I ask what kind, or is that confidential?"

Magnus didn't miss a beat responding to the deluge of questions.

"I am Ultra Magnus, Second in Command of the Autobots and Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord. I personally have been on this planet approximately 3 months, and I do not believe I have ever encountered a gem, at least not in the nature you are referring."

He looked around the entrance for any other humans. "Are you here alone? Shouldn't you be accompanied by a guardian or supervisor?"

"Jon Stark. This is Ghost." he inclines his head in Ghost's direction, who moves slightly forward. He doesn't appreciate being bapped by strangers but his magic wolf instincts are telling him this lion is all right. "What's yours?"
hellacold: (check u out)

[personal profile] hellacold 2014-11-05 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds pretty familiar. Jon assumes from the magic pink lion that this is a superhero team and not some kind of west coast band.

"I think I've heard of them," he says. "Are you hee on a mission?"
