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

Final Preparations

"I'm game." A voice that was unknown for Jasper and Nebula, but known for Banner, Scott and Rhodey rang through the room as everyone turned in the direction of it and saw Clint Barton, "I'll do it."

Not long after Clint's arrival, a few minutes to be exact, Barton had switched places with Scott and was now standing in the middle of the room as Banner and Nebula started working on his suit. The work they had done on Scott had to be repeated but they didn't seem to mind it. Ant-Man stood in the back of the room, along with Jasper and Rhodes.

Nebula pressed something on Clint's shoulder, as a small control panel opened. She began pressing some buttons, as Banner spoke up to Barton, "Clint, now you're gonna feel a little discombobulated from the chronoshift. Don't worry about it."

''Wai-Wait a second, let me ask you something." Rhodey said as everyone except for Nebula looked at him, "If we can do this, you know, go back in time, why don't we just find baby Thanos, you know, and..." He made the motion with his pointing finger, wrapping an invisible rope around in front of him before tightening both of his fists outwards. It took a second for others to catch on.

"I'm in." Jasper said, raising her hand.

"First of all! That's horrible!" Banner stated in disgust.

"It's Thanos." Rhodes pointed out.

"If you can do it, then I can take care of baby Thanos. I was trying to kill Steven when he was younger." Jasper stated, as everyone, even Nebula gave up what they were doing and looked at her, "What? Don't look at me like that. Peridot tried to kill him too."

Bruce shook his head, "And secondly, time doesn't work that way. Changing the past doesn't change the future."

''Look, we go back, we get the stones before Thanos gets them..." Scott explained with a small pause in the middle, "Thanos doesn't have the stones. Problem solved."

"Bingo." Clint agreed with Scott.

''That's not how it works." Nebula pointed out, shaking her head.

"Well, that's what I heard." Clint explained, rolling his eyes.

"What? By who? Who told you that?" Bruce asked Clint, looking at him.

Rhodes started counting his fingers, "Star Trek, Terminator, TimeCop, Time After Time..."

"Quantum Leap." Scott cut in.

"A Wrinkle in Time, Somewhere in Time..." Rhodes continued.

"Hot Tub Time Machine." Scott added, jokingly.

"Hot Tub Time Machine. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.'' Rhodes agreed, though Scott looked him strangely because of him agreeing about Hot Tub Time Machine, "Basically, any movie that deals with time travel."

Jasper looked between these two, "There are that many movies about time travel on this planet?"

Her question went without answer as Scott said to himself, ''Die Hard? No, it's not one..." 

"This is known." Rhodes argued.

"I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true." Bruce sighed, looking down at Rhodes, "Think about it: If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future. And your former present becomes the past. Which can't now be changed by your new future..."

''Exactly." Nebula nodded her head in agreement.

''So... Back To The Future's a bunch of bullshit?" Scott stated, looking down.

Everyone in the entire facility, included them stopped when Tony Stark's voice rang out and declared, "Avengers to the armory. Got a surprise for you. And yeah, I'm referring to everyone when I'm saying that."
