We all need a friend (StevenxSpinel)<Discontinued, remake in process>

Recover

Hello all, heres another chapter, maybe a little later than I would've preferred, but at least I got it out I guess, as well as a thousand word head start on my next chapter. Anyway tonight I will be going through and editing many if not all of my chapters, I don't know if it will notify those of you of that follow the story or not so I thought it would be better if I just told you in advance.

After Steven fell into Spinel's arms all three Pearls rushed over to the two of them. "What happened to him?!" She shouted to no one in particular. "Someone help me with him!" She cried out, holding the unconscious hybrid against her chest.

"Spinel, please calm down. You have to let us see him so we can help, we can't do anything if you're holding him like that, ok?" Pinkie requested, gently placing a hand on her shoulder.

The younger Gem was very hesitant, but never the less did as she was asked, moving him away slightly, though still refusing to let him go. Blue and Pink got approached him, inspecting the boy closely while Yellow seemed to be worried for his wellbeing as well, though unable to really do anything.

"I'm not seeing any openings in the skin, how about you?" Blue Pearl asked, looking over the exposed skin she could see.

"No, though his skin seems to have turned darker in some spots on his body, and some of his clothes are torn." Pink said, her voice heavy with worry as she inspected him.

"I think the renegade Pearl explained those to be bruises; results from human skin being hit with a great amount of force." The blue Gem explained, this time not even bothering to show her distaste for the Gem.

"That's right, Pink's other Pearl, maybe she can help with this." Yellow Pearl offered up her suggestion, knowing that they couldn't do anything about this themselves.

Blue looked over to Pink who then looked down to Steven and Spinel. "It's ok, I don't mind, we just need to get him some help right away." She said with a serious look and a nod.

"If you're sure, I mean you can stay here if you like." The blue Pearl offered as she stood back up, turning to her Pink friend completely.

"No, I need to see that he will be ok." She responded without hesitation as she too stood up. "Come on Spinel, you can carry him there if you'd like, just try to keep his body straight."

The aforementioned Gem just responded with a nod as she coiled her arms around him gently. The four of them huddling close together on the warp pad before heading off for earth.

Steven opened his eyes slowly only to realize that he was in a void-like place. "Where am I?..." He asked as he stood up and began looking around.

"Subconscious has awoken." The familiar voice from in his head announced.

"Where am I now? What's going on?" Steven asked it, becoming slightly frustrated already.

"You are in our gem, to repair our body with what little energy you are able to generate from being unconscious, I need your mind to be less active, therefore I cannot allow you to dream, as that would take more focus off of healing you." It explained calmly.

"Alright I guess,...can you explain what happened to me? I'm so confused, and now that I'm not running for my life and we have time, I think I would like to ask you a few questions." Steven requested, feeling a bit more relaxed knowing he was just in his own head.

It seemed to take a moment to think. "Very well. Moving repairs to secondary urgency level, current repairs at 22%."

Steven waited until it seemed less busy than it currently was, but what he didn't expect was to turn around and see the nearly transparent pink version of himself from the cellar standing behind him. He looked it up and down, realizing how it was almost like starring into a pink tented mirror; if not for its empty and emotionless stare, it would be too eerie, or maybe that's part of what made it as eerie as it was.
