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

The Decimation

Peridot looked around her surroudings, to see the woman who she assumed to be Pepper Potts she heard so much about during all these days she spent with Tony inside of the Guardians ship, hugging Tony, as these two were sharing a tearful reunion with each other. Her eyes then went to Nebula to see the daughter of Thanos sitting on the hatch of the ship, holding hands with Rocket as they were mourning for the family they lost, and at last, her eyes finally went to Jasper who went over to Shi'ra and Azurite, clearly relieved that they were okay. The large orange gem offered them a sad smile, which faded just a moment later.

"Where's Bismuth?" Peridot asked, just a second after she was done with looking around herself, noticing that some of them were missing. Amethyst and Garnet didn't said anything, "Pearl?" Again, silence, "...Steven?"

"...They're all gone. Connie is gone too." Garnet's reply only confirmed Peridot's suspicion, the fusion normally stoic expression showing pain of all of the loved ones they lost.

"What about Lapis? Where is she?" Amethyst then asked her about whereabouts of Lapis Lazuli, even though the answer seemed to be pretty obvious to her. She just wanted to be sure.

"She fell apart into ash and there was nothing I could to stop it. She and all of the Guardians that were with us after Thanos snapped did." Peridot explained, her eyes going down on the ground, staring down at it, sadly.

Jasper approached two of her roommates, offering them a quick, and a rather sad smile which faded a moment after. Azurite was staring at her for a good moment, happy that she was okay. Happy that at least one more of his firneds made it out alive, after losing so many people and gems he cared about in the decimation. The large orange gem could feel her eyes shooting open in suprise as Azurite embraced her, holding her as tightly as he could, but he wasn't the only one, a second later, Shi'ra embraced her as well. The suprise from the sudden hug from them eventually wore off and she hugged them back, wrapping her hands around them. The three friends shared a hug with each other, being happy that they're okay, simply being there for each other.

The hug lasted a few more seconds until they released each other from the hug, as Azurite spoke up to her, "We're so happy to see that you're okay." 

"I'm happy too. You have no idea how worried I was that you may end up fading away." Jasper told them as her eyes went to the ground at what she was going to say, "Guys. I know that you may have to deal with a lot of bad news in the last days, but you need to know that Quill, Mantis, Drax and Gamora are..."

"We know. We realized that when we saw you, Peridot, Nebula and this guy who I assume to be Stark step out of their ship, and they weren't with you." Shi'ra told her.

"Rocket..." Azurite casted a quick glance at Rocket to see him, still holding hands with Nebula as they still sat on the hatch of the Guardians' ship.

"What's about Rocket?" Jasper wanted to know.

Azurite bit his lips, Jasper could see a small tear sliding down his cheek. He wiped it from his face as he said, "He's all alone. Groot is gone too."

"Good thing Nebula is here." Shi'ra said, gesturing towards the cyborg. Rocket and Nebula wouldn't call themselves best friends, but they were going to need each other.

"Yeah..." Azurite agreed with his sister.

"And Shi'ra, there's one more thing I need to tell you..." Jasper was interrupted by the Kratai.

"My ship is gone." Shi'ra said what Jasper was going to say, "I know, otherwise you wouldn't come here in the Guardians' ship."

Jasper nodded her head as she was about to ask another question, "Guys, if you two are here, then what about Orange?" Silence was the only answer she had to receive to realize that Orange Pearl wasn't spared from Thanos' snap, so she asked about another one of her friends, "Centi?"

"She survived but most of her crew didn't. Terra was the only one who survived. They went back to Little Homeworld along with other survivors while all four of us decided to stay here with the Avengers." Shi'ra explained.

Jasper sighed, having no idea for who it was going harder to take, for Centi who lost almost her entire crew, or Terra who lost not only her fellow crewmates but also her beloved one, and she honestly didn't wanna know. Another sigh escaped her mouth as she asked another question, "What about Spinel?''

Again, silence was the only answer she had to receive to know that Spinel, just like Orange wasn't spared from Thanos' snap. It became even more clear for her when she saw Spinel's necklace coming out from Azurite's pocket, "I'm sorry about it, Azurite. I know how much you cared about her."

Azurite said nothing to her in response, just nodded his head to show her that he heard her.

"...Hey, sis." Amethyst voice suddenly came from behind Jasper as the said gem turned around to see the small purple gem looking up at her.

"Hey." Jasper said, looking down at her.

"I'm glad you made it out of it okay." Amethyst said to her.

Jasper nodded her head at Amethyst, thinking what to say to her, "Same to you."

"We let you two catch up." Shi'ra said, as she turned towards Nebula who was leaving the hatch, "I and Azurite are going to talk with Nebula."

Shi'ra did as she told them to. She and Azurite made their way over to the daughter of Thanos to talk with her, "Nebula." she said to her, once they approached her.

''Shi'ra." Nebula said to him as she turned to Azurite, "Azurite."

"It's good to see you again." Azurite was the next to say something, rubbing the back of his head, thinking what to say next, "...We're glad to see you made it out alive."

Nebula just nodded her head at his words.

"We're sorry... about Gamora." Shi'ra added. She considered Nebula a friend of hers, even though they only met two or three times.

"I will kill my father and I won't rest until I'm dead to reverse the horror that he has done. It's what....It's what Gamora would do...and even if." Azurite and Shi'ra could see her struggling to get the words out as the tone of her voice was full of hatred at the mention of her father, a lone tear falling from her eyes, trailing over the metal plate on her cheek, "Even if she can't be brought back...I would rest easy knowing that I brought justice to her killer. To the man who dared call himself our father."

Even though he was hesitating at first, Azurite placed his hand on her shoulder, and said, "Get in the line. We all want to get him."

Nebula just gave him another silent nod in response.

It was just a moment before everyone made their way back into the Avengers headquarters.
