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

The Real Hero

"Quail you that's your own..." Thor began.

Quill tried to cut him off, "Quail?"

Thor ignored his question and continued, "...Insecurities in there. Okay? I'm merely trying to be of service and assisting.

"It's Quill." Quill corrected Thor about his name.

"That's what I said." Thor stated.

Drax looked at these two, "You should fight one another for the honor of leadership."

"Sound fair." Nebula stated.

Quill looked around him, "It's not necessary."

"It's not." Thor agreed with him.

"I got some blasters, unless you guys wanna use knives." Rocket offered.

Mantis clapped her hands enthusiastically, "Oh, yes. Please, use knives."

"Yeah, knives." Drax seemed to like this idea too.

Groot smiled, nodding his head, "I am Groot."

Thor and Quill looked at each other, hearing their team encouraging them to fight over the leadership, making them both laugh, but the latter's was clearly more forced.

"Not necessary." Quill stated.

"There shall be no knifing one another." Thor declared, "Everybody knows who's in charge."

"Me." Quill looked at Thor, wanting to be sure, "Right?"

"Yes, you. Of course." Thor gave a short laugh, "Of course. Of course."

Quill just gave a quick nod in response, still not exactly sure if Thor was serious or not. He turned to his crew, saying, "I think we should head there now if we don't want to be late."

"Where are we going?" Thor asked.

Quill's response was, "Little Homeworld. There's something we need to attend."

Steve, Bruce, Peridot, Garnet, Sam and Bucky were all standing in front of the ruins of the Avengers headquarters, preparing themselves for the last part of their mission which was returning the Infinity Stones back to their rightful points in time. Bruce and Peridot worked together to build new time machine, and once it was ready, it was time to return the stones to prevent everything the Ancient One told them would happen if they didn't returned them.

Garnet and Steve stood together, wearing Time Travel GPSes on their wrists, waiting for Bruce to hand the briefaces over to them. They divided their work in two halfs. Steve would be sent to return the Time Stone, the Mind Stone and the Space Stone,while Garnet would return the Reality Stone, the Power Stone and the Soul Stone

Bruce shut the briefcaces, saying to them, "Now, remember– You have to return the stones to the exact moment you got them. Or you're gonna open up a bunch of nasty alternative realities.

"Don't worry, Bruce. We'll return them without any problems." Garnet assured him with a nod of her head, with Steve nodding his head in agreement.

She and Steve picked up their half of work, before Bruce whispered something to Steve, "You know, I tried. When I had the gauntlet, the stones, I really tried to bring her back... I really miss her."

Steve gave him a comforting nod in response, "I know."

"Garnet." Peridot stopped Garnet for a second, "You better return. I'm going to have bad time explaining to everyone why you haven't returned."

The fusion just gave her a smile, which Peridot returned, giving her one too.

Sam Wilson walked with Steve Rogers towards the platform, offering, "You know, if you want, I can come with you."
