An Outcast (Steven Universe x Male Gem Reader x MCU)

The Contract

He sighed. He didn't want to do this, but he didn't had other option. He knew he needed those units to survive, "Fine. I'll do it."

The Collector clapped his hands, as a smile grew on his face, "Wonderful! I'm glad you decided to do this!"

"Whatever." Azurite said, as he turned towards the exit, "I should get going on."

"What about my other contract? Did you reconsidered it?" The Collector wanted to know.

"No and I won't. Good luck finding a moron who will do it." Azurite answered.

"You know, I've been having The Reality Stone for a while now. I bought it from someone." The Collector revealed something that Azurite was unaware of.

"What?" Azurite asked, suprised by what he just heard. Who was that stupid to give him one of the most powerful objects in the universe?!

"Life is full of suprises, dear Azurite." The Collector told him, as Azurite, was still not believing that someone sold him one of the Infinity Stones.

Azurite whispered, "Bastard." to himself, as he started to make his way towards his ship. As was walking through the streets of Knowhere, he came across a young girl, who was holding her arm out towards him.

"Here you go, kid. You need it more than me." He said to the girl, giving her some of his money. He knew he was in a need of units, but there were people who needed it more than he did. And that little girl was one of those people.

"Thank you." The girl said in a very grateful tone.

"There's no need to thank me." Azurite said with a wave of his hand, as the girl smiled at him, and gave him a quick hug, before running off, probably to get some food for herself.

He smiled to himself. At least he brought a smile to this girls face as he proceeded to walk towards his ship. A few minutes later he arrived on his ship, and walked inside of it. One of the first things he saw upon entering it, he saw something what he called "Memorial Wall" of the people he met, and came to care about in his years of exploration of the universe.

He stopped himself in front of it and stared at the photos, as he began thinking about the people he cared about in his life.

The first photo on this wall was the photo of a man who's name was Freddy. He actually knew him for only a few hours, but he took a liking in him during them.

The second photo showed Darnel. The man who was Freddy's companion when he met them. They were the first people he talked with since his banishment from Homeworld, because he came across them on the first day he came out of his ship, which also happened to one of the scariest days of his life. While he and Darnel made it out of the situation they found themselves in alive, Freddy was killed in action. That's why he knew him for such a short amount of time. As for Darnel, he and Azurite became really good friends, and stayed with each other until Darnel passed out his bed.

The third photo was showing a man who taught him how fight hand-hand-in combat, and made him prefer this style of fighting instead of using guns, or swords, or knives. His name was Dragan.

The fourth photo was showing a huntresses that upgraded his ship that it could turn invisible any moment Azurite wanted. He could actually relate to her, because they both were banished by their people for being different. The reason why was she banished was because she was born with a rare sickness that made her shorter than most of women from her people. She and him actually remain in contact with each other, the only difference being that she was much older than she was the moment they met each other.

The fifth photo was showing a family that took him in as if he was one of their own. This was actually one of not many times in his life when he felt like he actually belonged somewhere, but all good things must've come to an end. One day, The Dark Lord of the Universe invaded this planet and killed half of it's population, this family being one of the victims. The head of the family, Rin held his daughter Aleena in his arms, while his wife, and Aleena's mother Karolyn had her arm wrapped around him.

"I wish I could've saved you from them... Save you from him..." Azurite thought to himself.

And finally the last picture was showing the poeple who were one of not many people he could call a friend these days. These people were a crew who called themselves "The Guardians of the Galaxy". They met with each other when they were ordered by The High Priestess Ayesha of Sovereign to take him, and Nebula otherwise known as "The Biggest Sadist in the Galaxy" to the prison on Xandar, but fortunely for them, Rocket, a talking raccoon stole some of their batteries, which lead to the series of interesting events. They even offered him a place in their crew, but he politely declined their offer, but they still remain in contact with each other.

He only wished he had the picture of Nebula alongside theirs, but he couldn't blame her for not wanting him to take her a picture. After everything she's been through...

How did he found himself in the Soverign captivity? Because he agreed to do a job for the Whitebound brother to steal some of their batteries.

"New contract, new contract, new contract..." He heard his computer say as it took him away from his thoughts. It was repeating those words over and over again, as Azurite made his way towards it, and eyed what was written on the screen,

New Contract

The Task: Bring a Pearl to The Collector

The Person That Ordered it: The Collector

Payment: 1 000 000 Units

Do you accept it?

Yes No

Azurite sighed as accepted the contract, by pressing yes on the screen.

This was going to be a long contract, and probably the most dangerous one he had in a while.

He knew that if they caught him, they most likely were going to shatter him, or banish him, one more time.

He was worried about the first part that much, because he didn't had anything to lose. As for the second part, he wasn't going to not stay with them, anyway. So the option of getting banished once again wasn't that scary to him.

One day later

Azurite sighed to himself, as he thought to himself, "This is it. I'm here."

It took him only one day for his ship to take himto Earth, thanks to the upgrade which increased his ship's speed. He was still working on making it faster, but for now, it was better than nothing.

As for now, he was preparing himself to step outside out of his ship, making sure to hide every trace of him being a gem, or for what he came here for.

He stopped what he was doing the moment he heard someone banging on his ship.

"Hello? Are you a gem from Homeworld? If, yes. I'd like to meet you if you allow us to talk to you."

Azurite immediately recognized that the voice. It was Steven, the kid from the massage.

"I'm a gem, however, I wish I wasn't." Azurite thought to himself, as he made sure that his machete was on his back, even though he was barely using it because he prefered to use his hands and that his chains with a hooks were hid in the back of his red jacket. He also made sure that his headscarf was wrapped tightly around his forehead, he didn't want them to discover what he really was.

"Here we go. Relax, Azurite, you just take one of the pearls with you without anyone noticing and leave." He actually couldn't remember the last time when he was that nervous about a contract.

With that, he hit the control panel, which lowered hatch down.

The moment after, a daylight shone into his face...

Hope it wasn't that bad.
