>> I think she was referring to this series' Bucky, who's cleaving to Steve and Natasha. <<
That's part of it. However, I was also referring to the Bucky fanfic written prior to The Winter Soldier movie. He is almost always paired with Steve and/or Natasha if someone is helping him break free or recover his memories. Post-movie, Sam Wilson becomes not just a plausible addition, but a skilled one. That's awesome.
>> Nick is a spy, and he's imbibed the kool-aid. He'd have sided with the Registration side of Civil War, not getting why Steve knows it is wrong. <<
The Civil War creeps me the fuck out. It's something I've hinted at, very obliquely, in this series, but it would play out totally different than in canon because it would never get that far. A better-meshed team, and especially Steve and Tony talking to each other, would kill it early.
>> "I'm not doing this for myself. I'm known, you already have plans in place should you decide to take me down. But there are citizens that stand no chance, that are no threat, and you want to inventory them. I just came from another war started just the same way and not here, not while I've breath and blood." <<
Exactly.
One thing I love about Magneto is that he's right. Somebody's always going to pick a fight over differences, and in certain cases it's very predictable and very bloody. His methods are deplorable, but his willingness to fight for species survival is perfectly justified.
His ubermensch attitude I chalk up to Shaw chopping him to dogmeat. Nobody's walking away from that fight intact, even if they walk away breathing. Erik knew better than to believe one group of people was inherently better than others, until he got into a mindfight that hosed him with someone else's insanity. Tch. Heartbreaking casualty, that one.
