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

The Decimation

----

Tony was now sitting on the floor of the Guardians ship, being now more skinner and and weaker with malnutrition. He looked down at Iron Man's busted helmet. His  hand reached forward to turn on the helmet. 

"This thing on?" He asked himself as the helmet scanned him. The Avenger leaned against the wall while taking deep breaths, "...Hey, Miss Potts... Pep. If you find this recording, don't post it on social media. It's gonna be a real tear-jerker. I don't know if you're ever going to see these. I don't even know if you're... if you're still... Oh god, I hope so. Today is day 21, uh 22..."

Tony was standing at a window to gaze out into space, waiting for his impending doom to arrive.

"You know, if it wasn't for the existential terror of staring into a void of space, I'd say I'm feeling better today. The infection's run its course, Thanks to the blue meanie the green dorito and the orange hulk back there. You'd like all of them. Very practical. The meanie being only a tiny bit sadistic, the dorito being a small nerd or the orange hulk being like... I actually can't find words how to describe, she is determined that's for sure. Some fuel cells were cracked during battle, along with the other ship, but we figured out a way to reverse the ion charge to buy ourselves about 48 hours of time..."

Tony, Nebula, Peridot and Jasper were working tirelessly on the fuel cells of the ship.

"But it's now dead in the water. We're 1000 light years from the nearest 7-11. Oxygen will run out tomorrow. And that'll be it, at least for me and meanie, the dorito and the orange hulk don't need to breathe, but they're not fan of being here with our bodies... And Pep, I ... I know I said no more surprises, but I was really hoping to pull off one last one. But it looks like... well you know what it looks like. Don't feel bad about this. I mean, if you grovel for a couple of weeks, and then move on with enormous guilt. I should probably lie down. Please know that... when I drift off, I will think about you. Because it's always you..."

With that, Tony turned the helmet off. He rubbed his thumb over the left eye, and then leaned down, to what would be his last sleep. Nebula, Jasper and peridot walked over to him, and carried him to Drax's seat, and laid  him there. They walked away dejected, the two gems realizng that soon enough they would be the only ones left alone in this ship.

Suddenly, a vast bluish light illuminated the space surrounding them. There was a light on his face, which grew brighter and brighter until he was to open his eyes. He finally caught the glimpse of what, or rather who was the source of this light. He saw a blond-haired woman, who was wearing a suit with mixed colors of red, blue and gold. It was Carol Danvers, a woman known as Captain Marvel.

Back in the Avengers headquarters. Steve Rogers was holding a blade, having just shaved off his beard. He sighed and looked into a side mirror, before it suddenly started shaking, slowly at first, and then severely. Everyone who were in that bulding at this time heard that, and quickly ran out towards the exit to see what was going on outside. Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Bruce Banner, and James Rhodes , Garnet, Amethyst, Azurite, Rocket and Shi'ra walked out of the Avengers headquarters, and looked at something. A spark of hope grew inside of Shi'ra, Rocket and Azurite as they recognized this ship. Their friends could have been there! Carol landed the ship ont he ground as the landing gears deployed as they touch the ground. The entry hatch opened, and Tony, Nebula, Jasper and Peridot walked out, with Tony being supported by Nebula and Jasper.

Steven ran up to Tony and helped him to stand as everyone else that just arrived in this ship split up to talk with everyone they know. Peridot slowly walked over to Garnet and Amethyst, a small sigh of relief leaving her mouth as she was happy that they were okay. 

"We couldn't stop him." She spoke up to them, her eyes changing directions between Garnet and Amethyst.

The small green gem could feel Amethyst giving her a small pat on her shoulder, as Garnet said to her, "Neither could we."
