It's been over six months since then.  Well over, but by how much exactly is hard to say.

But what is easy to say is that therapy is going well for Steven. As he leaves his session down in Echo Creek he talks on the phone with Lapis, "Yes mom I'm eating my greens."

"Yeah remember to eat enough fruit too and stay hydrated," Lapis adds, "Water is very important for you humans."

"Yeah it is," Steven replies with a soft chuckle, "Anyways I gotta go. Love you."

"Love you too kiddo," Lapis replies, "And don't forget to call Jasper later too. You know she gets antsy when she doesn't hear from you."

"Yeah yeah," Steven replies, "I'll he sure to do so. Talk to you later. Live you."

"Love you too," Lapis responds happily before hanging up.

Steven takes a deep breath and continues walking down the street, thinking about every thing, in his own head one could say.

Echo Creek.

To some that may sound familiar.

That is because in this town another story has occured. A story of a princess stopping a tyrant. Of self identity and monarchy.

Steven bumps into another, who was of said story. A young woman by now, a woman with grey skin and white hair. Green eyes, a black dress, and those signature hearts on her cheeks

She was named Star at some point.

But herbname, much like Steven's true name being Steven Beta Universe, hers...

Is not Star, but Comet.

"Comet," the girl replies, "Comet Butterfly. You are?'

"Steven," Steven replies as Comet helps him to his feet, "Steven Beta Universe."

"Steven?" Comet inquires, "Where have I heard that name? Oh! You fought that space God! Right?"

"The Diamonds are demigods at best," Steven chuckles, "But are you the Comet? The Mewmen turned monster who killed Moon? The genocidal tyrant?"

"It was kill or be killed OK?" Comet sighs looking away in shame, "I know what I did and if you're gonna label me a murderer go ahead."

"Why would I judge you for something like that?" Steven inquires, "Yes murder is wrong but killing in self defense is fine. You don't judge a solider for killing to survive in war. If you mean in a religious sense, then I'm agnostic but if I may play Devil's advocate, or I guess angel's advocate."

"I mean sure go ahead," Comet nods.

"Doesn't David kill Goliath on the Bible?" Steven inquires, "If God didn't care then then even by the Bible wouldn't you be fine?"

Comet thinks for a moment, contemplating this line of thought before nodding, "Yeah. Yeah that tracks. Thanks Steven."

"No problem," Steven replies with a smile.

"Oh by the way," Comet replies, "You read that new novel that came out? Sights Set on Perfection?"

"Oh isn't that about the tragedy about the guy who lost everything and then lost himself trying to make a perfect world or something?" Steven replies, "Very interesting story. Kinda shocked the author of it brought in old characters."

"Well he introduced the villains of Sights Set on Perfection way back in an epilouge for his second novel and had him be a minor character in the third so I wasn't shocked." Comet replies, "Anyways, it's getting made into a show. My boyfriend Marco and I are hosting a watch party for the premiere. Wanna come over? You seem cool so..."

"Oh totally," Steven replies happily, "I'll gladly be there! Sounds fun!"

"Great!" Comet responds happily, "As much as I would love to keep talking Steven, I do have an appointment to get to. Cya later?"

"Totally," Steven responds before high fiving Comet.

"Oh one last thing," Comet adds turning around, "Do be careful. Some cloaked criminal was spotted around here. Black cloak, fangs, Gem in the center of his spine."

"A half Gem?" Steven mutters to himself.

"Well cya!" Comet adds waving goodbye, "Have a good one!"

Steven waves farewell as well. He thinks aloud as he walks, "Eh I'm sure it's fine what are the odds I'll bump into a famous princess and a murderer in one day anywa-"

A man in a black cloak bumps into Steven apologizing, "Terribly sorry sir. In a bit of a rush."

Steven replies, "No worries man... in a black cloak... wait!"

The man turns around, "Yeah hold on you're Steven aren't you? You actually ended the corrupt monarchy you fought unlike some others I've heard of."

"And you killed people haven't you?" Steven demands.

The man turns away, "I'm just a traveler, Steven. I'm not looking for any trouble."

"Traveler," Steven explains, "If I may call ya that, I can't just let you walk away. You know that."

The Traveler sighs, pulling his hood over his face, "I understand Mr. Universe. Whatever happens, know I hold only kindness towards you. I will leave now, and if you try to stop me you'll have trouble."

The Traveler begins to walk away only to notice a shield being thrown at him. He catches it, glaring at Steven who summons another.

"Well if that's truly the only option..." the Traveler sighs summoning short sword from his Gem, "I would like to test my Gem powers against the mightiest Gem in the universe. The son of Pink Diamond."

"Pink Diamond is not my mother," Steven growls, "And my powers are my own. This fighting style I've developed is based on those of my mothers. The grace of a Lapis and ferocity of a Jasper. That is my power. I've heard some are calling it a "hero style." What was it? Oh yeah!"

Steven's Hero Style: Born of Diamond, Son of Quartz.

"Mine isn't so fancy," the Traveler chuckles, "Just something I picked up on the job. Half Gem and all that. Mine is more that of the judge, with the half baked Gemstone. Let's test it."

Half Baked: Judge Style.

VS

Steven's Hero Style: Born of Diamond, Son of Quartz.

The Traveler charges, with his blade aimed right at Steven's heart, frighteningly precise and quick. However, Steven flows like water, using his shield to parry the attack. He glows pink and summons a pink hexagon of energy, which grows a spike.

He sends this hexagon flying towards the Traveler. The Traveler blocks it with his forearm, blood dripping from the wound.

"You can do more than summon weapons?" The Traveler asks. "Hmmm... I have an idea!"

The Traveler concentrates, his Gem glowing with a purple light until suddenly a shadowy orb falls over the battlefield. Steven finds himself blinded by this mystical power. He hears laughter from all directions.

"Man if only my mother had more time in the ground," a voice echos, "I would have had so much more cool stuff! Thanks for the pointer Steven!"

Steven hears the sound of a sword being unsheathed behind him and quickly turns, again graceful and quick like a river. He blocks the sneak attack from the Traveler with a pink hexagon of energy before striking with the ferocity or a quartz, shield bashing the Traveler. The Traveler flies backwards, skidding across the sidewalk badly scraping his whole body and cracking his arm.

The orb fades away, allowing Steven to continue the assault. He lunges the man, striking with a punch to the face which causes the Traveler to stagger back. Contining with a ferocity echoing that of Jasper, Steven drop kicks the Traveler, causing him to fall to his knees, coughing up blood due to the blow to his stomach.

"I'm better off sleeping in the forests of that accursed isle..." the Traveler mutters to himself before addressing Steven, "Its been fun dude, but imma go."

With a pair of odd scissors the Traveler opens a portal to an unknown place and comments, "I'll see you later Steven. All the best."

"Wait!" Steven demands, but before he can protest the Traveler is gone. Steven sighs, unsure what to do as he walks away.

Another half Gem? Where could he be from? Plus that mysterious power, it was unlike any Gem Steven knew. Stronger than most to be sure. Who is this Traveler and what is he after? Who did he kill and why?

Maybe these questions have more than one answer, but for now Steven if focusing on healing and getting better, so he concedes to victory in combat but failure in his goal to capture the murderer, takes a deep breath, smiles happily at his new life, and goes to see Connie...

The End.

But...

Steven Beta Universe and Comet Butterfly will return in "Dreams of Utopia", coming eventually.

Comet Butterfly's can be seen in Star Vs the Forces of Evil: Monster Star AU (otherwise known as Comet VS The Forces of Mewni.

The Traveler can be seen in The Owl House: Owl Sees All. Posted now.

Author's Notes

There were set up for a future sequel story, Dreams of Utopia. As mentioned before imma hire an editor to turn these into novels later for easy money so to me these 3 AUs are more first drafts of novels to hire someone to edit and work with em on improving than anything else. You know? Dreams of Utopia is the apex of them thematically. As while each of the 3 protags gets over one major flaw the Traveler has all 3 flaws and succumbs to them, a foil to all 3 heroes.

I hope you'll read it when it comes out I've been planning it since I started Owl Sees All and can't start it until that's done.

Thanks for reading and I wish you all the best.

Have a wonderful day friends.
