Oh I hadn't thought about those two... Either option is gross for different reasons. That conversation Cassie has with Vision back in issue 2 comes to mind. Scott's back. I mean, it wasn't Wanda's magic that brought him back from the dead so much as time hopping out of harms way, but... Is there still a "cost?" And if so, is Cassie the one who pays the price? Killing Eli would not only be cheap, but totally disgusting and playing into the time old "let's kill the black man" trope.

I'm thinking Kate is safe, for the most part. She's the only one I'm pretty confident about not getting killed. Losing her title as Hawkeye, however... That would just make me so angry. But it is a very real possibility, at this point. As far as deaath goes, I'm not worried about her at this point. Her and Tommy are the only ones not really getting all this build up. We'll have to see.

I honestly think they were setting up Eli to leave at the end, I think we heard something about the guys at Young Allies wanting to poach him but they were canceled so maybe he's just going to leave and can then come back later. After they lock Heinberg in a room and make him get on that ongoing.

Yeah I wouldn't have minded so much if he had wound up with Rikki and Anya and all. It would have been a team with possibly even more yelling than he and Kate usually had but heck, it might have been good for their relationship too.

Dying is a different hurdle for them, and that would upset me a lot more. :(

Steve Rogers disagrees! Captain Marvel... does not. Damnit.

That's my worry, that whatever blows up at the end will just be left to smolder. Hopefully the numbers will be good enough for them to think about an ongoing and we can get more.

This. Eli is pretty much at odds with them throwing in their lot with Magneto, and that situation between Kate and himself is pretty awkward. In addition, he's left the team before, so yeah. I'd see him ankling.
