A/N: Hi guys! This is the first drabble, hopefully of many, revolving around our favorite scientists! I hope you like it. If you have ideas you want me to write, post them in a review or private message. I'll write some ideas of my own, but I really want you guys to submit ideas. Anyway, enjoy!

Drabble 1: Lab Partners

Leo hated it when the teachers chose lab partners for the students. If he was lucky then they would let him lead the experiments. If he wasn't (as it usually turned out), his partner contradicted everything he said and did and cost him precious time, not to mention wore down his patience. He preferred it when he could work alone. No one seemed to think like he did.

So high school wasn't the best time for him socially. He spent all the time he could in the science lab, studying and coming up with new ideas. It was when he discovered that he wanted to work in a science-related field. His teachers gave him worried looks when they noticed how secluded he kept himself. They thought he couldn't possibly be happy being alone so often.

But he was as happy as he thought he could be. The only downside he could see was how he had no one to explain his breakthroughs to. He had tried talking with the science teacher once, but she was always too busy to listen for long. He also suspected she didn't like knowing he was smarter than her. His binder was soon overflowing with pages of his studies, and he moved to a computer to store the data.

By high school's end he was extremely confident in his abilities, though he was always careful not to boast. It was then that he got a letter from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, asking him to study there. He accepted it in a heartbeat, eager to finally be in a place where he could talk with people.

His first day of chemistry the professor assigned lab partners for the next three weeks; his was a girl named Jemma Simmons.

At first he was apprehensive. He knew the students here were bright enough, but would they get along? He had never had a good lab partner before. Why should he have one now?

But ten minutes after starting working together he could tell this girl was different. She was extremely passionate about her work, and they got along faster than Leo had with anyone. As soon as she started talking he knew he would love this lab partner.

After the three weeks, the professor allowed the students to choose their own partners. Leo and Jemma looked at each other and smiled, and went right back to work together. It was one of the best times Leo had ever had in a school course. They got the best grades in the class. He had finally found someone who understood what he loved, and more importantly, understood him.

Jemma Simmons was the perfect lab partner.
