Diamond AU: Steven Universe

Jailbreak

Steven helps the Diamonds escape the hand ship.

Steven woke up slowly, the world around him blurry. His head hurt. Everything hurt.

He felt his face, realizing he had a black eye. He then stood, looking around. "Yellow? Blue? White?"

He looked at the force field holding him prisoner. He walked over to it, sticking his finger through it as yellow currents ran through his arm.

"Woah..."

He managed to push himself through the force field, the electricity running through his body. Once he was out, he shivered, then collected himself. "I'm out. Woohoo! Okay, where is everybody?"

He began running through the hallway before running past a very familiar figure. "WHITE!!" He gasped.

"Huh?" She looked up. "STEVEN!! Oh dear, you have a black eye." She reached out, worried.

"It's fine, really.." Steven said sheepishly.

"Wait, how did you get out?" White asked.

"Oh, I just kinda-" Steven stuck his hand towards the force field.

"Steven, no!!" White cried.

Steven's hand then passed the force field.

"...Incredible," White stared for a moment. "Wait, does that hurt?"

"Only a little," Steven said. "Wait!!" He then stepped into the force field, holding his arm out. White immediately slid under his arm, escaping the cell. She then pulled Steven out of the current.

"We need to find Yellow and Blue!!" Steven said urgently. "Do you know where they are?"

"I don't," White said. "But we'll find them."

They began to walk through the corridors, White keeping a watchful eye as they did.

"So... you would ride around in ships like this?" Steven asked.

"No, I only used my own," White said. "This ship was too small for me when I was in my original form."

"Y'know, you keep talking about how big you once were. Exactly how tall were you?" Steven asked.

"What measurement system do humans use again...?" She thought for a moment. "Oh right!! Around 80 feet tall."

"WOAH!!" Steven gasped. "That's HUGE!!"

White chuckled. "Yes, yes it is."

As they walked, Steven noticed a window. He peered out and saw the Earth in all its glory. They kept walking until they came across another gem; Lapis.

"Oh, it's you," White frowned.

"Lapis!!" Steven gasped.

Lapis turned around, looking at Steven.

"Lapis, I can get you out." Steven said, reaching for the force field.

"Stop!" Lapis cried.

"It's okay. I can—"

"No! I don't want your help. Things are bad enough as it is. I've already made too much trouble. Once we get back to Homeworld, they're going to decide what to do with us." Lapis explained.

White sighed in annoyance. "Of course."

"Steven, whatever you're doing just stop. If we do everything they say they might go easy on us." Lapis said.

"But they're... mean! They hurt my friends, they hurt my face! They've got you here in prison!" Steven said.

"And she isn't?" Lapis pointed around White, who gave Lapis a nasty glare, then looked back at Steven. "I'm not dealing with her. Come." White grabbed Steven's hand and they continued walking.
