Who: Steven and Pinkie!
What: Steven jumps into the ocean.
When: Backdated to like...the 8th? I have failed.
Where: The water surrounding Virgo HQ.
Warnings: Nothing immediately comes to mind.
He tries to hold on for as long as he can, but in the end the fear is too much for her to stand. He wishes his dad would come back - he wishes he could tell him, or explain some of this before he goes. But he can't risk letting this happen, for both of their sakes.
Not if what that person told him was true.
He hides out in the Defying Atmosphere, shooting off texts to Pinkie, until he hears someone approaching. He sneaks out to the balcony, then, waiting to see what he can hear. He catches sight of a group of three guards rifling through the interior of the penthouse, obviously looking for something.
He swallows, his head swimming with dread and terror. They're going to take him back. They're going to wreck him again. He can't take it.
He practiced the bubble earlier - doing it feels so natural now. Trying to forget his fear of heights, he makes a dash for the ledge, just as a guard hears him moving and starts to pursue. He leaps.
The light of his gems envelopes him in a protective pink bubble. Then, all he can hear is the sound of air whizzing by, and eventually, the shocking slap of the water as the bubble strikes it. He sinks beneath the waves, the impact not having harmed him at all.
He tries to text Pinkie before he gets too deep for the text to go through. He's stolen Greg's phone.

Pinkie shrieks a little and ducks down into her boat. It wasn't all that close, though, and she only gets a little bit wet from it. When no more explosions are imminent, she ventures to sit up again and lean over to see what that was all about. For a few moments, nothing is really obvious. Then, kicking and splashing, Tiger surfaces.
"Tiger!" Luckily, Pinkie planned on more or less this scenario. She's expected a lot worse, honestly; at least he doesn't look hurt except for the drowning thing. She scoops up one of the extra life preservers she got from the dock and throws it. "Tiger, catch!" Part of her wants to jump in after him, but swimming with a flailing person must be pretty hard even when you have a good handle on how your body works. She doesn't entirely trust her grip that far.

"Pinkie!" he sobs, trying to get his hair out of his eyes long enough to actually see what's going on. If he could just calm down for a second, this really wouldn't be that hard.
no subject
Pinkie wraps the rope around her hands and pulls. You don't have to grip if it's just like that. It's easier to drag him through the water than she suspected, though the water stings where the rope is rubbing her skin. "Hold on!" As soon as he's close enough, or possibly a little before, she drops the rope in a coil on the floor and leans over the side to reach for him.

He flops into the boat, wet and startled. He's succeeded in his plan, at least for now. He takes in shaking, gasping breaths for a few moments, before managing.
"We gotta go, okay? They...I don't know if they'll follow us..."
no subject
"What - " She isn't used to this much arm exercise, and she's a little out of breath. "Are you hurt?" He looks WAY better than he did, but that doesn't mean he isn't.
no subject
"...N-No. I jumped before they could grab me. I...I heard them come in and I just...I ran to the balcony and jumped."
no subject
She'd like to check him over herself, but she's a little busy with the rowing. Instead, she nods to her bag sitting in the bottom of the boat. "I brought you some clean clothes, you should put them on. I dunno if we can really get you back in the penthouse without anybody seeing, but maybe if we go quick?" If she'd had time she might have been able to plan something. They did, after all, break into Lesedi's office; that's a lot harder than their own penthouse. But as it is, she's just going to wing it and hope for the best.
