[Pink Diamond POV.]
Pink Diamond was sitting on a side of the round table of the meeting room of the Justice League, her hands patting the head of Lion as he forced his head in her lap and simply enjoyed the petting.
'At least Lion is alright….This eases much of my worries…Although,'
'This is really awkward.'
Behind her stood the ten Kryptonites in a straight line with their hands in a diamond shape as they seemed content to just stand there…
'Seriously, I appreciate the support, but can we be a little discreet about this?!…Oh, who am I lying to, this is a disaster!'
But she can feel it, the amount of gazes she is feeling is simply too much…'Yeah…There is no running out of this one…'
'Curse it all…Let's ball.'
Every single hero that was present was looking at her in the same way that a parent would look at their child in a universal, 'I know what you did' gaze….
Thankfully, the rest of the heroes were dispatched to find the Kryptonites on Earth to guide them to a single point for extraction…by the ships.
Ships…..She didn't see them yet, but oh boy was she getting restless just thinking about it.
White or Yellow gave her ships! Oh, she would hug their Diamonds to death if she could! All her problems and all her concerns are almost all gone!..
Okay, maybe half gone…But the point stands!
Earth!? She already had so much trouble by just being here…She was going to move to another celestial body in this solar system, and she would get rid of almost half the worries that came with this planet!
No humans, no politics, no heroes, no villains on her every step…She can start building her own home!
'Space travel! Where do I sign!'
And...Space ships! Do you know how cool that is? And according to the Kryptonite, it is something brand new! Oh boy!….And something White made!
Now, respect to Yellow, she is very efficient, but she lacks a little flare…And White does nothing unless it is perfect for its job…That means my ship has passed White's assessment…
'Even Pink didn't pass that assessment….Okay, that thought is a little depressing.'
She glanced to the side at Wonder Woman, who was still inspecting the Lasso of Truth, or whatever happened to it…
Pink literally just handed it over, it was just not worth it….If it was a Lantern Ring, she might have refused, since it can serve many other things..
And she could just give it to any Gem to make a top-tier Gem/subordinate fighter with minimal effort.
So she decided to break up the awkward atmosphere and just be done with it, because she would really rather be questioned than whatever this was..She wanted to be done with it and leave already.
"So? Beautiful weather we are having, yes?"
Literal metaphorical sweat started rolling on Pink's face, while she could swear every hero gave her the most dry looks possible, with Superman's palm slamming his face as Wonder Woman looked like she wanted to strangle her.
'Real smooth.'
'Alright, this is just sad…When did my social abilities become like this?'
'Is this from Pink's depression side, or my human side who worked nonstop with no social interactions?….Hmmmm..probably both..But I will blame it on Pink.'
But thankfully, she was not alone; she had her own homies now.
"Yes, my Diamond, the weather is perfect."
She turned to the Kryptonites, who seemed just content to boost her ego…Which she didn't mind.
One of the Kryptonites, thinking it was sneaky, simply leaned slightly to its fellow Gem, saying, "Does weather happen in space?" but it shut down after its companion Kryptonite gave it a kick to the knees…
'Being subtle is really not their strong suit…But so what? They are my Gems and they are adorable!'
A small sound cut through the atmosphere as Batman's hands landed on the table with just enough force to draw attention.
"So? Are you going to act clueless again, or will this conversation be fruitful?"
"What did you—" To the side, one of the Kryptonites got held down by her fellow Kryptonites as she almost jumped at what she saw as disrespect from a worthless organic.
Pink, on the other hand, sighed heavily as she said, "Firstly, I have to apologize for what I did…I was angry, and I lost myself…My temper has always been a problem, but it never got this far before….I am not trying to make an excuse for a fault I made. I apologize and hope you forgive me…But since I will leave this planet soon, then yes, I suppose I can be more honest."
Pink unconsciously puffed her chest as she straightened her posture, an unconscious behavior that was drilled into Pink during the lessons from White. "I am Pink Diamond..I am one of the rulers of the Gem Empire, and the fourth member of the Diamond Authority….There is White, Yellow, Blue, and then me."
The meeting hall fell silent for a long few minutes, as then Aquaman from the side leaned against the table as he said, "Those are your family?"
At that, Pink's face turned thoughtful as she said, "Gems don't do families. We don't function in the same way as organics do…We are Diamonds, and we always stick together."
"Are the rest of the Diamonds as strong as you?..What can they do?" Naturally, the question was raised from one beloved paranoid detective.
I turned to Batman as my face unconsciously frowned, and I said, "I am not answering that."
Before the conversation could continue, I said, "I can explain general things, but I will not answer anything that concerns private information or the kind that can be used against my fellow Diamonds."
"But I can explain many other things…"
I moved my hand forward slightly as my form started glowing before four small figures formed on the table.
All four figures were transparent pink in color as they formed in the center of the meeting room.
In the middle stood White Diamond, her form obviously taller than the rest and carrying a bright, but very empty smile.
On the right side stood a replica of Yellow Diamond, her hands crossed with a frown on her face, projecting strict discipline.
On the left stood Blue, her construct standing with the same calm, kind nature that she always had…At least kind to her fellow Diamonds.
Meanwhile, a very, very small copy of Pink was sitting on White's exposed palm.
'Being able to make structures from nothing is super useful….Totally worth my anger period.'
"I could have made one with our real sizes, but the room is too small for that…." I stood up as I pointed at each figure, introducing them by name as I then looked around waiting for a new question, but was met with silence.
I was about to continue my explanation, but even I, the social disaster, noticed that the silence was heavy and awkward, the kind that made me feel like I said or did something wrong…..
Thankfully, Canary, who was sitting beside Green Arrow, decided to cut the silence as she pointed a finger at the constructs with a very awkward smile…saying:
"Pink, if I may ask…Compared to the other Diamonds…How old are you?"
I stared at her in confusion, saying, "I don't see how that is important, but I don't really remember a specific number…"
I tapped my chin thoughtfully while continuing, ".Hmmmmm, but I am probably a few thousand years younger at the very least…Or maybe more, especially if we compare me to White, but I am the youngest."
The silence stretched as Canary's voice carried a certain disbelief that I thought was about the Diamonds being thousands of years old. "Oh, I see…..And is the height of the other Diamonds compared to you accurate? Like….Do you really fit in their palm like that?"
At this point, I was staring around in increased confusion. "Yes….? It is really terrible to try talking when they are so much taller…So I just…You know…So I can talk to them eye to eye."
I heard a small crack as I turned to see Wonder Woman, whose hand cracked the table slightly while her grip tightened around the table as she stood from her chair, looking like something inside her just shattered.
Her gaze at me, which was filled with anger until now, was filled with shock, refusal, pity, and a terrible realization.
'Okay…..Creepy…I already have given her the lasso back, what is it with her now?'
'Prideful much? Like seriously, warrior princess, whatever you are, tone it down a little…'
And unfortunately, when I looked around, there was only more confusion waiting for me. Superman looked at me with so much understanding, like he had finally solved a puzzle that eluded him…
'For some reason, I feel slightly offended.'
The Flash looked like he was so guilty that he wanted the ground to swallow him. On the other hand, Canary and Green Arrow simply looked like they heard one of the worst jokes, in complete shock..
Even Batman simply sat there, staring at me with a Bat-gaze that was enough to melt ice while he seemed to struggle internally with something..
'Ehhh?'
Pink's face was looking like she had question marks floating above her head. 'Am I missing something here?…I feel like I was the guy who sat in the classroom while being the only one that forgot about the test.'
'What happened? Why are they acting so differently now?!'
Seeing that I was not gonna figure it out, I turned to the Kryptonites, who were just as clueless. Although, after seeing me looking at them for a while, they glanced at each other in confusion before Kryptonite-100 just gave me a thumbs up as if it answered my question, so I just gave up and asked:
"Am I missing something?"
Superman simply coughed into his hand, which seemed to snap them out of whatever thought they were having…'Weird.'
"Sorry, Pink, pay it no mind. Continue with what you were saying."
I did another quick glance, feeling slightly disrespected for some reason, as I then moved a hand to my Diamond while I pulled out an empty bottle…I placed my finger over it as my hand started glowing slightly, while small drops of pink liquid started forming…A few seconds later, I showed the bottle, saying, "This is….Diamond essence."
I gestured to the Gems behind me as I continued, "The process to make Gems is very complicated and very simple on many levels, but in short?….Not a single Gem can hatch or incubate successfully without Diamond essence."
I didn't bother explaining anymore, they were not idiots that I had to spell it out for them…Batman's gaze locked with Superman as I watched the rest of the heroes.
Flash, from the side, said, "So…..Without you Diamonds…The rest of your kind just dies?"
"Well, Gems don't die from age, so yeah…It will be a very slow path to extinction unless they find an alternative, but I am quite sure there isn't." And just like that, another silence took the meeting room.
Unnoticed by Pink, her face pouted as she started tapping her feet impatiently. 'What did I say now?…Come on, I mean, they deal with Darkseid and they get shocked by me twice?'
'I really want to go see my ship….'
[15 minutes later]
[Kryptonite-80]
The ten Kryptonites that landed in Star City were having a boring time….They were supposed to face a very fast organic, but apparently the negotiations worked..
Don't get them wrong, the Kryptonites were happy that their Diamond was saved and all, but they hoped some fighting would be involved..
After all, it was what they were made to do, and they liked it..
Kryptonite-80 glanced around, seeing the rest of her fellow Kryptonites all looking happy but bored..
They received orders to simply wait for extraction, so they simply gathered and waited..A few Kryptonites were standing while looking curiously around..While a few others simply sat down on a few cars, treating them like seats.
While a few feet away, two Kryptonites were brawling on the ground with grins, as the bored ones were watching.
"Yeah, hit harder, 85!"
"Stop being so defensive! Slam her down already, 83!"
Things were boring…Sure, but at least the mission was a success.
Kryptonite-80 stopped moving as she stared at a certain alley, her eyes narrowing….Her Gem glowed slightly in small unease as a spear formed in her right hand…
She glanced at the rooftops of the buildings with narrowed eyes as her suspicion became true..
She slammed her spear into the ground a few times while her spear started glowing with green energy, as the other Kryptonites stopped and glanced at Kryptonite-80, who said with a very excited smile:
"It seems we get to fight after all." As countless figures moved from the darkness, surrounding the now-standing Kryptonites who stood with grins as they cracked their knuckles.
Kryptonite-80 turned her head to a figure in half-orange, half-metallic armor as she pointed her spear while saying, "You know? I am loving where this is going."
Deathstroke didn't answer as he moved his hands to his weapon, saying, "The Pink one heals others. I wonder….What can your tears do?"
[Kryptonite-70]
In Gotham City…Currently, ten Kryptonites, including 70, were sitting around a red heroic figure as he kept telling them stories.
Shazam, who arrived at the place after watching the news, ended up meeting the ten Kryptonites as they waited in the city.
And after a small, honest talk, he told them he was a friend of Pink Diamond…And that is how he is currently surrounded by ten alien warriors as he told them about all the things he did with Pink, from the Cadmus facility to everything else.
And the Kryptonites, who were dying from boredom, had sparkling eyes while listening..
Things were going beautifully, until ten dark cars surrounded the area with SWAT teams moving to surround them.
Shazam stood up, trying to inform them that there was no reason to worry about anything of the sort.
But unfortunately for him, the greed of certain figures was already in place…
The last thing Shazam heard before getting hit in the face and sent flying to the wall was, "King Shark…Is a shark."
Meanwhile, similar issues were happening for all Kryptonites that landed on Earth…
