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

The Real Hero

Many people have already left the lake side, except for three of them. Clint Barton, Wanda Maximoff and Azurite still gazed into the waves of the river, thinking about people they loved that lost their lives to put an end to the Mad Titan's reign.

"You know, I wish there was a way that I could let her know." Clint spoke up to them, as he turned towards Azurite and Wanda with grief stricken expression at the memories of what happened on Vormir, "...That we won. We did it."

"She knows." Wanda stated, as she gave Clint a nod. She then turned to look at Azurite. She and Azurite didn't interacted much, but she remembered how she and Shi'ra fought off hordes of Outriders in Wakanda. She gave him a comforting nod, saying, "They all do."

Azurite and Clint  just smiled at her words and all continued to gaze into the lake.

Thor stood on the hill, overlooking recently repopulated kingdom of New Asgard while wearing a pair of shades over his eye, listening to the sounds around him, like the wind blowing in the air or birds flying in the air.

Valkyrie approached him, asking, "So, when can we expect you back?"

Thor turned to her, "Um, about that..."

"Thor. Your people need a king." Valkyrie smiled at him.

"No, they already have one." Thor stated.

"That's funny." Valkyrie chuckled, before turning to look at Thor who instead of laughing had a serious expression on his face. Seconds later, she realized what he meant by that, "You're being serious?"

Thor nodded his head, as he looked at New Asgard, "It's time for me to be who I am rather than who I'm supposed to be. But you, you're a leader. That's who you are."

"You know I'd make a lot of changes around here." Valkyrie stated, turning to look at New Asgard.

"I'm counting on it." Thor said, extendind his hand for a handshake, "Your Majesty."

Valkyrie stared at him for a second, before accepting his handskake, "What will you do?"

"I'm not sure. For the first time in a thousand years, I– I have no path. I do have a ride, though." Thor turned around to look at the Guardians ship, which was sitting on top of the of a cliff while Rocket was standing outside, waiting for him.

The talking raccoon spoke up to the God of Thunder,  gesturing for him to follow, "Move it or lose it, hairbag."

Thor nodded as he turned to Valkyrie, giving her a nod, "I'll be seeing you around."

Valkyrie responded with a nod of her own, "Yeah, I'll see you."

They both moved separate ways and Rocket took Thor inside of the Guardians ship. Peter Quill was looking any clues to where Gamora went after the defeat of Thanos as he stood in front of the map.

He swiped the picture of Gamora away when he heard Thor come inside, "Well, here we are... Tree, good to see you. Well..." He stopped next to Quill. He put his things on the table and removed his shades, patting Quill on his shoulder, "The Asgardians of the Galaxy, back together again. Where to first?..."

Quill looked at Thor touching the map screen without his permission. He gave Thor a stern look, swaping the map to where he left of, "Hey, just so you know, this is my ship still. I'm in charge."

Thor turned to Quill, "I know. I know. Of course, you are. Of course."

Just seconds after saying those words, he touched the map again, which didn't failed notice it, "See, you say of course, but then you touch the map. It makes you think that maybe you didn't realize I was in charge."
