The Language of Silence by thepaperwitch

Summary
Saoirse “Shay” Quinn never wanted the spotlight. Recruited from MIT into SHIELD’s R&D division, she built her life around equations, schematics, and propulsion systems. Her legacy is in steel and sky—the Quinjet, the Helicarrier—but her true inheritance is far older: a secret lineage of druidic magic she hides behind careful walls. To the world, she’s just an engineer. To herself, she’s something more dangerous.
When Loki’s army tears through Manhattan, Shay finds herself pulled out of the hangar and into the fight. When Captain America notices the quiet woman who holds her ground in the chaos, Shay finds a kind of recognition she didn’t expect. Steve Rogers sees through her careful distance, and his presence tests her resolve to remain hidden.
But SHIELD is never blind, and neither is Tony Stark—whose repulser technology Shay can’t resist unraveling. Between political pressure, dangerous secrets, and a world that suddenly expects her to be more than she ever signed up for, Shay must decide: stay the invisible engineer, or step fully into the new age of heroes.
Set between Avengers and Winter Soldier.
