Omg it couldn't all fit in one post Nick What he's doing: Hanging out with Wick and her kids, dealing with a lot of political bullshit, delegating a lot of tasks because he's starting to just get tired of all this even though he won't admit it to himself.
What he'd like to be doing: I'd been thinking about the plague thing recently so HECK YES. All of that going down might just kinda get Nick really sick and tired of all this bullshit (I mean he had a break but he was forced from the job then and that's different~) and maybe eventually there's a Cap 2 kinda thing where an assassination attempt happens and Nick can 'die' but go work for the Secret Avengers or something if they want him and maybe Coulson can take over SHIELD if he wants to. Also speaking of SHIELD, we've been watching Portlandia a lot and Chloe Sevigny makes me miss Bobbi, damn. Also Nick wants to like rebuild relationships with Tony and Jess and spend time with Jasper and Coulson and just, you know, people and stuff.
Cassie What she's doing: Nothing yet. She's still a reboot and belongs in this universe (old Cassie didn't exist). I think I'm going to like go even further 'back' with her to like origin~. She's about fifteen (like whatever time and age are not as important so she can be a teenager for a long while), her Dad is one of the missing from Earth, and she's pretty just teen angsty about life and stuff.
What she'd like to be doing: I'm thinking she hasn't discovered her powers so that'll happen and probably she'll vigilante clumsily around the Sphere. She'll want to like reconnect with her Dad's Avenger pals and stuff and will probably run away~ from home at some point.
Other Stuff So potential widely-effect plots that could happen post-plague: Mags & Co attacking the Sphere and kidnapping mutants (which actually could even happen during plague like lol, perfect opportunity), Demons terrorizing space
Also like I know I have Starlord held but I'm waffling about it (I need to rewatch the movie probably), so if anyone else has a burning desire to be him I will be fine with relinquishing.
