Azurite couldn't remember the last time when he was that nervous as he walked through the streets of Little Homeworld, walking closely behind Steven and Spinel who he assumed were taking him to the gems he fought with just not that long ago. He could the eyes of the gems on him and he had to admit that it made him really uncomfortable since he wouldn't call himself a gem that likes to be in center of attention.

When they finally made their way to Steven's friends,  he heard one of them say to Steven that he managed to convice Azurite to return, to which he told them that he'll explain them everythying. Azurite assumed that he was going to tell them everything he told him about Thanos. After that, he turned to him and Spinel, and told them that they'll be back in a few minutes.

Azurite just watched them leave, before looking for a place where he could sit, because he didn't want to stand for the whole time Steven was talking with them. He spotted a house that was nearby, and made his way towards it, before sitting down on the  ground, leaning against the wall.

He just sat there, not paying attention to anything around him for a few moments, before Spinel walked over to him, and sat down, next to him.

"You know what was on my mind, Spinel?" He asked her after a moment, trying to start a conversation with her as Spinel hummed, showing him that she was listening to him, "If Steven was not there at the moment when It was revealed that I'm on one of you, after you made me unable to continue the fight, they'd all let me leave and never look back, not that I blame them for doing so." 

"Because, you were hurting, and I know how it feels. I know how it is to be alone." Spinel explained.

"What?" Azurite asked, suprised by the answer, "What happened to you?"

Spinel sighed, "You really want to know?"

"Well, I did told you my story, even though I didn't wanted to do it." Azurite pointed out.

Spinel nodded her head, as she began explaining everything to him. Starting with how Pink Diamond abandoned her for 6 thousand years, making her think that it was just a game, how she saw her Steven's message, how she went to Earth to take out her anger, and how it ended up with the Diamonds taking her to Homeworld, and when it seemed like she was doing much better now, they gave me an option. if she wanted to stay with them on Homeworld, or go and try to have a like on Earth. He already guessed that she choose the latter one.

Azurite, clearly suprised by what he just heard, debated what to say to her for a moment, before saying, "You know. Pink Diamond was the only Diamond that I respected, but I think that the respect I had her just became much lower. I rob, and kill people for money but leaving someone in a place for a thousands of years, telling her it just a game, makes me look a damn saint." He said as his mind was trying to process what he just heard. Was she really left alone in the garden for a few thousand years, and no one even bothered to take her from there?, "I'm sorry that it happened to you."

"That's why, If you're going to need a friend. You can count on me." Spinel said, giving him a pat on his back.

Azurite allowed himself to smile, which was something he wasn't doing often these days. It wasn't forced, it was just a genuine smile, of gratefulness "Thanks."

Spinel smiled back at him, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she paused for a moment when she saw Steven and the other gems heading their way, "Look. They're back."

Azurite turned towards the direction Spinel was gesturing to, and saw Steven, walking towards them with the gems by his side, "I think I should apologize to them for you know what." he stated.

"It's going to be a good start." Spinel said with a nod of her head, giving him an encouraging smile, as they stood up from the ground, and made their way over to Steven.

"I'm sorry for fighting with you. I hope we'll be able to forget that it ever happened." was the first Azurite said to Steven's friends. 

"As long as you don't try to do this again, we're going to be okay with you staying here." Pearl said. It was going to take a while for her to trust Azurite, especially that the main reason for him to come here was to take her, or one of the other Pearls to this collector guy.

"But if try to do this, again, we will fight with you again." Lapis added.

"I won't. I don't consider myself the smartest gem in history of our kind, but that I would have to be an idiot if I decided to try to do this contract again." Azurite stated.

"And, there's something else we want to know." Peridot asked, as they now focused their attention on Spinel, instead of Azurite.

"Spinel. What are you doing here? You didn't had time to tell us because of one incident." Pearl asked Spinel, sending a quick look to Azurite, which he didn't failed to notice.

"I wanted to try life on this planet. When the Diamonds saw that I was doing much better now, they gave me an two options, If want to stay on Homeworld, or if I want go to Earth. I choose the latter one." Spinel explained.

"The same goes for you Spinel. We trust you more than Azurite." Pearl said as Azurite just rolled his eyes at the last part, "But it doesn't mean that we're not going to be watchful of you."

"So, that means, we can stay, both of us?" Spinel asked, in a very hopeful tone. She understood why they were watchful of her, after everything she did two months ago. She'd do the same in their place.

"You can, both of you." Garnet answered, adjusting her visiors.

"So, what now? Should I get my ship from the forest, and place it somewhere closer to this place?" Azurite asked.

"I think there's someone you should talk with it." Steven answered, walking up to Azurite.

"Who?" Azurite asked him.

"I think you may already know who." Steven answered.

After a moment of trying to realize who Steven meant, and if he really should come there, Azurite answered, "Fine, but don't except me to call them "My Diamond" or show that I have a sheer of respect towards them." 

"Just don't do anything to anger them, okay?" Steven told him, noticing that Azurite was already regretting accepting to come to Homeworld.

"I'll do my best." Azurite said with a nod of his head, then thought to himself.

-------

"Why did I agreed to come here?" Azurite thought to himself, immediately regretting his decision to come here the moment they warped themselves to Homeworld.

He could feel getting more nervous as Spinel and Steven began to lead him towards the throne room of the Diamonds. Normally, they would warp themselves immediately to their throne room, but Azurite insisted to warp them to some place, from which would they would take a walk to the Diamonds throne room, so he could prepare himself mentally for the talk with the Diamonds. 

As they continued walking, with him walking closely behind Spinel and Steven, Azurite could feel how some unpleasant memories he had from this place went through his mind.

"Why are you so confused, defect?"

"Because, I don't understand. I don't understand why everyone is so mean..."

Azurite just shook his head at this memories, causing Spinel and Steven to look at him, before Spinel spoke up, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. Don't worry." Azurite said with a wave of his hand, doing his best not to think about the memories he had from this place.

A moment later, they arrived at the doors which as Azurite assumed to be the doors which were leading them straight to the throne room of the Diamonds.

"Just remember what I said, Azurite. Just don't do anything to anger them." Steven reminded him, knowing that there is a possibility that Azurite may let out his everything he's been having inside of him, just like he did when they found out about his real identify in Little Homeworld, but this time, it could be much more, considering that the Diamonds were the ones who banished him.

"I already told you that I'll do my best." Azurite assured him.

Steven nodded his head as he swung the door open, and when they were shut open, all of them could see the Diamonds, someone Azurite despised the most, at least until Thanos cleansed Konoritos. Yellow Pearl, Pink Pearl and Blue Pearl were also there, but Azurite didn't paid much attention to them.

"Steven! Spinel! It's great to see you two again." The voice who as Azurite recognized belonged to Yellow Diamond said as they walked into the room. She was clearly happy to see them again.

"Have you two decided to stay here with us?" Now this voice belonged to Blue Diamond. She was happy to see them as well. 

"No." Steven answered, as Spinel nodded her head, showing the Diamonds that it wasn't the reason she came here as well.

"There's someone we want you to meet." She added, as they both stepped aside, revealing Azurite who stood behind them..

"Ain't that the Azurite we banished?" Yellow Diamond asked.

"Yeah. That's me. I'm actually suprised that you remember me." Azurite stated, noticing that all of the Diamonds were clearly suprised to see him again.

"What is he doing here?" White Diamond asked after a moment of silence.

"He came to Earth, at first he was hiding from us what he truly was, but we eventually found out about his real identify with Spinel's help. We offered him a place in Little Homeworld, and after some convicing he decided to try a life on Earth." Steven explained. Azurite noticed that this kid completely cut out the part where he fought with them and the fact that he came to Earth to kidnap one of the Pearls.

"Steven, Spinel. Do you know what he is?" White Diamond asked them both, as Azurite clenched his fists in anger.

"I know. I don't care what he is. He is a gem as much as Spinel and your Pearls are, and he shouldn't be treated differently than the rest of them only because he is different." Steven told them.

"I'm really suprised to see him here with you." Yellow Diamond stated, after a moment of thinking what to say next.

"Why?" Spinel asked.

"It just, we weren't excepting to see him again." Blue Diamond explained.

"Because you excepted me to shatter myself?" Azurite asked. He knew that he promised Steven to keep his cool, but he couldn't hold that inside of himself any minute longer. He knew that it may end up with him getting shattered but he didn't care about that at this moment. He wanted them to know what he had to say about all of the years of banishment. He wanted to get that out of his chest.

"Azurite..." Steven tried to say something but was interrupted by Azurite.

"No. I've been holding it inside my chest for a few thousand of years now. If they really have changed, just like everyone have been told, then they're going to listen what a gem that they banished only because he was made the way they didn't like has to say to them." Azurite cut him off, then he sighed, before turning his attention to the Diamonds, ''You three have no idea how I felt for all those years. I hated myself for the way I made, because everyone else did. I cried to myself. You have no idea how much time I spent debating if I should just shatter myself. There was even time when I even wanted to make all of you feel how I felt during all of these years, but that phase is long gone. But you know something? I may despise all three of you, but I don't hate you. You want to know why? Because I met someone far worse than all of you, and you may already know him. His name is Thanos." 

The Diamonds suddenly seemed to be taken aback in the moment he mentioned Thanos. All of them  suprised by the fact that Azurite knew about Thanos.

"...Thanos?" Blue was the first Diamond to say something after a moment of silence. She seemed to be... afraid of him? At least one of the Diamonds was afraid of him? That was something Azurite wasn't excepting to see.

"That brute." Yellow said after her. Her calling someone a brute? Talk about hypocrisy...

"How do you know about him?" White Diamond asked what was on their minds.

"Let's just say that I had a close encounter with his troops on the planet that I used to live on when they cleansed it. Almost twenty years ago." Azurite answered.

"You had an ecounter with his troops when they cleansed a planet and survived?" Blue Diamond asked.

"I was put in the crowd that survived." Azurite answered, as Steven and Spinel looked down sadly, already knowing it from the story Azurite told them. He sighed, before thinking to himself, "But if I was able to switch places with Aleena, which would result in her surviving, and me dying in the process. I would do it, gladly."

Azurite's response, didn't got much answer from the Diamonds. White and Yellow just remained silent, as Blue let out an "Oh".

Azurite sighed before he continued, "After I left my planet, I isolated myself from everyone else, but at the same time, I tried to find out who was leading this invasion, it was when I found out who he was, but it raised even more questions, but I got an answer to all of them, after I came across Gamora and Nebula."

Steven and Spinel were listening carefully to everything Azurite was saying. They were aware that Azurite didn't told them everything, and they could learn something more about him, now.

"Gamora? Nebula?" Blue Diamond asked, already knowing who these two were.

"You mean his daughters?" Yellow Diamond asked, even though the answer was quite obvious to her. She just wanted to be sure.

"Yes. They're not as bad as people say they are when you get to know them." Azurite said, then added, "And If you knew about Thanos, then did you knew about Ego as well?"

"Ego? The Celestial?" White Diamond asked. That was the only Ego that came into her mind. She was really suprised that when Yellow and Blue informed him that he was destroyed a few years ago, but they all never really got the answer who was responsible for it.

"That one." Azurite confirmed it with a nod of his head.

"We were aware of his existance." Yellow Diamond said.

"Why are you asking us about him?" White Diamond wanted to know.

"Because I helped Quill's and his crew destroy him." Azurite's answer was short and quick, "And I don't regret being a part of it. He deserved that, after everything he's done."

"I guess that explains to us the mystery of Ego's death." Blue Diamond stated, after a moment.

Azurite then turned back to Spinel and Steven, "Alright. That's all I had to say. If you want to talk with them, go ahead. I'll be waiting for you by the warp."

"Azurite. There's warp here." Spinel told him, pointing at the warp in this room.

"I'll take a walk." Azurite answered, as he came out of the room.

"Steven. Spinel. Are you sure that?" Yellow Diamond asked them, once Azurite was out of their sight.

"Yes. I know he may not give you the best impression now, but he just wants to belong me somewhere. He just wants to be accepted for what he is." Steven explained.

"Alright. We'll trust you on this." Blue Diamond told them both.

"But if he causes you two some trouble, just inform us about it." White Diamond added.

Steven and Spinel just nodded their heads at them, before Steven turned towards the exit, "We should probably head out now. We just came here so to let you know that Azurite is going to be living with us on Earth, so you would knew about him."

The Diamonds nodded their heads in understanding, before Steven and Spinel said their goodbyes to them, before they went out of the room, a moment after, they eventually catched up to him.

 All three of them made their way back to the warp, where they saw someone Steven knew very well. This someone was a familiar orange gem.

"Jasper?" He  asked, clearly suprised to see her there, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm going with you. I'm going to be living on Earth." She said, quickly, it sounded really, really forced, which they didn't fail to notice.

"What?" Steven asked.

"Let's just go and don't talk about it." Jasper told him, before sending a quick look at Azurite, noticing a gem on his forehead. 

Steven said nothing in response. This was very suprising to him, because Jasper was one of the gems he never excepted to see go to Earth, again. Then,  they all got into the warp, before they warped themselves back to Earth.

"Let me guess, they made you go to Earth?" Azurite asked Jasper, a moment after they warped themselves back to Earth, trying to be friendly, even though his experience with Jaspers wasn't a good one.

After all, if he was really going o start a new life on this planet, he should start by making some friends, right?

"Something like that. I've been on Earth before, but now I want to see what can be so special in this planet, that makes so many gems leave Homeworld, so they could live on it." Jasper responded with a shrug of her shoulders. Her experiences with this planet weren't the best, but she could finally give it a shot, even though she was practically forcing herself to do that.

"I guess, we're going to be trying a life on that planet at the same time." Azurite told her.

"Oh, great. Now I'm going to be living on it with a defect." Jasper said, gesturing towards Azurite's gem on his forehead.

"...Call me a defect one more time and I'll shatter you." Azurite said, his tone changing into a more and threating one. He was trying to be friendly to her!

"I'd like to see you try." Jasper said back.

"Jasper. Don't call Azurite a defect. He is a gem as much you, or Spinel are. And you Azurite, I know you're not a fan of this name, but you shouldn't threaten anyone who calls you like that." Steven lectured them both.

Jasper rolled her eyes, as Azurite said, "Fine, but don't except to be nice to anyone who call me defective or corrupted."

Steven sighed, before the four of them began to make their way towards Little Homeworld.

A Spinel who was been abandoned by his mom, which made her take out her anger and him and his friends, once she found out about that.

A Jasper that is one of the gems that aren't a fan of him.

And a Azurite, who happens to be the only male gem in existance, who was banished from Homeworld, for being different from the others.

All of them were going to be learning how to live on Earth at the same time. 

This was going to be interesting...

-------

I'm sorry if the confrotation between you and the Diamonds after all these years wasn't the best.

And yeah, Jasper also made an appearence, and she actually is going to be a positive character in this story. I know that she is going to be one of the villains in SU Future, but the events of SU Future won't happen in this story, because of Infinity War.

As for the intro for SU Future, just imagine it being almost the same. Just add yourself with the other characters at the start, and when it shows off the villains, just imagine it shows Thanos, with Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive standing on his right side, and with Cull Obsidian and Ebony Maw standing on his left side, as Sanctuary 2 with Thanos' forces slowly departing from it flies above them.

FunFact: If Azurite declined Steven's offer to start a new life on Earth in Little Homeworld, second time. Azurite along with Spinel who decided to go with him, would head to Sakaar, where they would eventually met Valkyrie, and eventually formed a friendship with her, which would lead to them both being a part of the events of Thor Ragnarok. And when Thanos would attack the Asgardians to get the Space Stone, Azurite would get shattered by Proxima Midnight, after he and Spinel tried to attack Thanos, right after Thor and the Hulk did. While Azurite wouldn't survive Thanos attack on the Asgardians, Spinel would end up sent to Little Homeworld by Heimdall, where she would inform Steven and the rest about Thanos' being after Infinity Stones, and Azurite's death, which she would take really bad, because these two formed a very close bond over the months they spent together.
