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

The Real Hero

Stephen Strange and Benedict Wong stood with each other, their expressions set in the stone as they gazed forward each other into the lake.

Outside of the dock, on the grassy hills in front of the Stark residence, many others stood in silence, watching the flowers and Arc Reactor floating over a lake. Scott Lang stood with his daughter Cassie in front of him and his best friend Luis standing next to him. Hope van Dyne stood on his right with her mother Janet and father Hank. Even Hank Pym came, despise being not a fan of Tony for the last few years.

Behind them stood Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems. Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst, Connie, Lapis and Bismuth all stood next to him, with their heads low and their eyes looking at the lake. Greg stood behind him, rubbing his hand against his sons shoulder while Doug and Priyanka Maheswaran stood behind their daughter.

Azurite, Spinel, Orange Pearl, Jasper and Centi stood along with Peter Quill, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Nebula, Mantis and Kraglin Obfonteri. They all wore some form of black clothing very similar to the clothes they wore everyday. Even Drax wore a shirt to honor the Iron Avenger.

T'Challa, Shuri and Okoye stood behind the Guardians of the Galaxy. Their hardened expressions looking at the Arc Reactor on the lake. Next to them stood the three leaders of the Whitebound tribe. The Whitebound brothers hung their heads low, paying their respects for someone who saved all of them in silence.

The Barton family stood behind them, overlooking the lake. Clint stared at the Arc Reactor of his fellow Avenger, and a friend swimming away and his family stood with him. His hands rested on Lila's and Cooper's shoulder while his wife Laura stroked their youngest child, Nathaniel hair who was leaning against his mother.

Yellow Pearl, Blue Pearl and Pink Pearl stood next to each other. Neither of them did or said anything. They stared at the lake, at the flowers, and the Arc Reactor. Next to them stood Wanda Maximoff, Bucky Barnes and Samuel Wilson. Wanda and Bucky had a really troubled past with Tony Stark, but they decided to bury the hatchet and arrived to honor him and his sacrifice.

Harley Keener stood alone behind them. His hands were in his pockets as he stared forward, paying his respects for someone who changed his life for the better. Maria Hill and Thaddeus Ross stood behind the young man, gazing together towards one direction. Carol Danvers stood on the steps of the Stark residence, gripping her hands and gazing into the scene in front of her.

Right behind the Stark residence stood three massive figures. All three Diamonds came to honor the passing of the human who did something even they couldn't. The human who saved the universe.

Nick Fury stood alone on the porch, as he placed his hands on the wooden railing, watching over everything before him, everyone who came here to honor the life and legacy of Tony Stark.

Many gave Morgan and Pepper their condolences for their loss, before saying their goodbyes. Morgan was getting tired and Happy offered to take her on the bench in front of the house so she could rest a bit.

He sat down next to her her, wrapping his hand around her, asking, "How you doing, Squirt?" 

Morgan's answer was short and quick, "Good."

"You good? Okay. You hungry?" Happy asked her another question.

"Mm-hmm." Morgan nodded her head.

"What do you want?" Happy wanted to do know what she wanted to eat.

"Cheeseburgers." Morgan answered.

Happy smiled to that, recalling a certain memory with her father, "You know your dad liked cheeseburgers?" He gazed to the sky, his smile still on his face, "I'm gonna get you all the cheeseburgers you want."
