Steven x Pink Steven

Chapter 14...We Need You

Three weeks ago,

Stan grunted as he sat down on his chair, his back against the kitchen chair. He pulled out a cigarette and swung open the kitchen window feeling a light breeze graze his skin. He sighed, satisfied with another day's pay. Wendy had left for the day, Soos went home and the twins were asleep. He planned to finish counting the cash and go to bed until he felt a buzz on the table. He looked over towards his phone and slowly picked it up, surprised he would be receiving a call at all, especially at night.

"Huh, no name."

He narrowed his eyes towards the phone thinking it was a scammer calling making him think about placing it back on the table and letting it ring. But something nagged at him to answer. With his stomach turning he answered and held it up with his shoulder so he could finish counting.

"Hello?"

"Stan?" The older male ceased his counting and sat there in complete silence. "Stan? It's me...Greg." He gritted his teeth and placed the cash on the table before standing up.

"What do you want Greg? I thought you made it very clear when you said you didn't want anything to do with me." The older male sighed on the phone before tapping what Stan thought was the male's chin.

"Listen, Stan, I know we had a rough patch in the past but I really really need your help." Stan sighed and grabbed the cigarette from his mouth and blew it out before rubbing his head.

"What happened Greg?" The older male sighed and started to stutter.

"I-It's my son Stan, M-My son Steven he...he..." Stan frowned but allowed his brother to compose himself. "It's my son Stan. I feel like I'm doing this parenting this all wrong, he's hurt, he's scared, he's been through so much that it's fiscally killing me to see him like this."

"What happened to him?" The man stayed silent on the phone before covering his mouth and crying.

"H-He just needs to leave beach city, he needs to leave me, I-I did this to him! I LET THIS HAPPEN!"

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Both brothers remained silent before Greg sighed.

"Steven was sexually assaulted, shit he's almost died a few times over here." Stan rose an eyebrow in confusion.

"Wait wait wait, almost died a few times? sexually assaulted? what kind of place are you guys living in?" Greg sighed and explained to him about rose and the gems and the diamond authority with Stan not believing in any of it. "Greg now I want you to answer this truthfully, are you taking any drugs?" Greg scoffed and started to grow angry.

"No, you idiot I'm not taking any drugs! I'm telling you the truth. Want me to prove it to you? Agree to take Steven under your wing for a while. When he comes there will be a pink guy that looks almost identical to him." Stan chuckled and rubbed his tired eyes.

"Pink man? Are you hearing yourself, Greg?"

"Dammit, Stan just listen to me! Promise me you'll take Steven away from here. You'll see the truth with your own eyes." Stan frowned and looked up to the starry sky before taking another puff of smoke, sighing for the tenth time that night.

"Alright bring the kid over, I'll take him for a while." Greg sighed with relief and thanked him over the phone again and again.

"Just remember Stan, he's different."

That sentence rang through Stan's mind over and over again as he watched Steven conjure up a shield to block the orange woman's spinning attack.

"My Diamond! You must calm down!" She yelled before picking him up and throwing him threw the wall and jumping out after him.

"GRUNKLE STAN WHAT DO WE DO?!" Mabel called out but Stan remained unmoving as he watched his nephew. Hell he will admit when he first arrived with the pink guy he believed Greg, but only for a second but then when he brought over a PINK lion and sword he started questioning his sanity.

"GET TO SOMEWHERE SAFE!" Rouge called out before taking off outside. Stan quickly snapped out of his trance and grabbed the kids and making his way upstairs. He threw them into Gideons room and looked at them sternly.

"Stay here until i say it's safe!"

"Wait Grunkle Stan!" Dipper cried out as he made his way towards the door but Stan immediately closed it and blocked it off and making his way downstairs. He watched as the older male groaned and slowly tried to get up causing the anger to bubble in his chest.

"You piece of shit!" He ran over and grabbed the male by his collar before slamming him against the wall. "I should fucking kill you!"

"W-Wait Stan! It-It was a m-m-mistake! I think-" after hearing enough, Stan loaded back his fist and K.O'd the man to the floor. He took in a breath before making his way outside and watched as the orange lady tossed Steven into the air before jumping herself. She did a spinning move kick to his stomach causing him to gasp and fall toward the ground creating a crater around him.

The lady softly landed onto her feet and slowly walked down. Rouge stood next to Stan and both watched as she walked back up with an unconscious Steven on her back.

The rest of the night went by in a blur, the police came and arrested Gideons dad and deemed his mother unable to watch over him due to her mental state. He would have gone to a foster home if not for Stan stepping up and saying he would take care of him. Steven was given a blanket before they all piled up into the car and took off back to the mystery shack. Rouge carried Steven to his room with Jasper following behind and closed the door behind them.

Stan sighed and made his way to the kitchen and slowly pulled out a cigarette not aware of his hands shaking.

"G-Grunkle Stan?"He paused and slowly looked up and saw Dipper standing in front of him with Gideon and Mabel behind him. "You knew about Steven...didn't you?" The older male sighed and raised his arms onto the table and lowered his head.

"Yes, but I didn't believe it until tonight." Dipper frowned and looked down towards the ground in anger.

"Back when I told you about him being able to jump high, create a shield! I TOLD YOU HE HAD POWERS AND YOU MADE ME THINK I WAS CRAZY!" Stan didn't reply furthering Dippers anger. "Grunkle Stan he has to leave."

"What?" Stan rose up his head and looked towards his grand nephew shocked. "What did you say?"

"Steven needs to leave Grunkle Stan! He's dangerous!"

"HE'S FAMILY!" He barked before slamming his fists onto the table causing the three to flinch. "He's family Dipper, he's been through a lot worse than this. He needs us more than ever now."

"ARE YOU EVEN HEARING YOURSELF STAN?! HE COULD KILL ANYONE OF US!"

"Don't you think he would have done so already?! Have you even spent time with him? Steven would never do anything like that to us!" The older male sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Kids go to your room, I can't deal with any of this right now." He exhaled from his nose and slowly sat back down on the chair and laid his head on the table. "We'll sort this out in the morning." Dipper huffed and stormed up the stairs with Gideon an Mabel following close behind.

Stan waited a few minutes until he heard the door upstairs shut before sitting up and pulling out his phone. He placed the cigarette back into his mouth and dialed his brothers number and waited.

"Sunnuva bitch."
