Being one of Shield's scientists came with major responsibility and unpredictability. One second you could be doing an upgrade on Thor's phone, which to him was rocket science, or you could be doing actual rocket science. You worked with NASA for countless years, and when they teamed up for a task with Shield five years ago, Fury was captivated by your skills and got you on board right away. You took the job without a second of hesitation.
You got used to the insanity of this job fairly quickly with the help of Tony Stark, who happens to have become one of your best friends. He was there to help you when it came to stuff you didn't fully understand, like most extraterrestrial technology that came through the lab. You had become one of Shield's most trusted scientists, and you were always the go-to person when Stark was out of town. You did love your job, and working with some of the toughest people in the world really helped motivate you to be the best at everything you did.
"(Y/N)," your thoughts were cut off by Fury's voice, booming over the conference room, "Do you think you can handle this?"
Unfortunately, you had been paying no attention to what Fury had been saying, and you wanted nothing more than to sink back into the big black leather chair when everyone's eyes faced you.
"Of course," you gave Fury a forced smile, to which he nodded, telling the team you had it covered. Your face flushed as you felt the humiliation settling in of not paying attention to Fury and getting yourself roped into something.
"It's settled," Fury clapped his hands together, "Dr. (Y/L/N) will handle the Infinity Stones."
Oh, boy. You were screwed.

After accidentally agreeing to be the one to dissect the Infinity Stones, you found yourself in the lab, facing three glowing gems. One green, one purple, and one red. You were told they were the time stone, power stone, and reality stone. You were supposed to look into them to see what they possessed, what they could do, and how they worked. It was something you never expected to be doing. You had heard of the Infinity Stones in the past, having dealt with the tesseract and Loki's scepter during his 2012 attack, but you wanted nothing to do with them.
"Ouch, son of a bitch," you let out a small yelp when you lifted the time stone, a small burn mark left on your fingers. You turned around and grabbed a pair of gloves before turning back to the green gem. You placed it on a small stand, picking up a giant magnifying glass and letting it sit in front of your face as the gem showed up on the large screen.
"THE TIME STONE, ONE OF SIX INFINITY STONES" the file read as you zoomed in on the image of the stone, analyzing its structure. There was a microscopic bead of light on the outside of the stone that caught your attention, and you zoomed in on it to see what it was. A small hole on the side of the stone led straight to the middle, the natural light it was producing leaking out of the tiny hole.
"How's it going in here?" You jumped, facing a grinning Tony Stark who was munching away on a bag of raisins. You shot him a death glare for scaring you, turning back to face the green item.
"Not as bad as you'd think," you grinned, showing Tony the screen that sat in front of you, a close up shot of the Time Stone catching his attention.
