"(Y/n)."
(Y/n)'s surroundings changed. She was in the Asgard throne room, Loki in front of her.
"(Y/n) you must leave Thor, so that you may come home." Loki begged.
"I can not leave Thor. He must return home. Odin must allow him to return home."
"Fa...

It was a short process to place the five retrieved stones on a new version of the gauntlet. No one questioned why Thor and Loki returned without the Aether. Because of that, it was obvious who would be snapping again.
"No arguments?" (Y/n) asked as she stared down the displayed gauntlet the group was standing around.
"You're our best bet. You've been living with one of the damn things for years, and the Guardians were almost killed by one of them," Rocket shrugged.
"Just be careful, darling," Loki implored.
Without further ado, (Y/n) stuck her right hand into the gauntlet. Gasping, she felt the full force of all six Infinity Stones overcome her. It was indescribable. The universe was in her hands. No. That was too detached. It was more than that. Like the days she'd return to New Asgard after a trip abroad as the ambassador. Beneath the tingling in her veins was Loki's kisses, and Thor's hugs, and her girls laughter, and Avenger's game nights.
A family reunited.
Everyone else didn't seem to have clued in to (Y/n)'s intense inner monologue. All of them seemed vaguely concerned, but besides her initial gasp, (Y/n) had shown no obvious signs of pain. If the smile on her face was anything to go by, she was ready to go.
"Okay, remember, everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago, you're just bringing them back to today. Don't change anything from the last five years. Got it?" Tony ordered.
"Of course."
The Avengers prepared themselves for whatever was to come after the snap. Seeming ready for war, Tony activated the Barn Door Protocol, and (Y/n) looked down at the gauntlet.
Bring them back. Reverse the wrong that you were forced to commit.
(Y/n) snapped her fingers.
It hurt. Body screaming in agony, (Y/n) fell to her knees. Loki took a step forward but Thor held him back. All that came from the gauntlet was a short blast of light. But it was enough, (Y/n) could feel it as the pain faded. A wrong was righted and things were okay again.
"Are you alright?" Loki stepped out of Thor's hold and kneeled next to his wife, "Darling, your arm."
The skin had changed, showing what seemed to be a fully healed burn scar peeking out from the edge of the gauntlet. Shuddering, (Y/n) didn't dare to think of what would have happened if someone else used it. She was The Original, but she was safer than any other being when handling the stones.
