Alright (hopefully) last headcanon idea for the upcoming Alpha Flight limited series today!
Claire Hudson and Akihiro.
Like, I’m pretty sure Logan knows by now that he and Mac and are like first cousins once-removed or some shit like that. But does Akihiro know that he and Claire are like second-cousins?
Because I also think that has potential for some interesting dynamics. Akihiro is used to be alone. He spent most of his life surviving solo. Having siblings is already a pretty big step for him. Now add in a big extended family, like second cousins! What would he do?
Like Gabby is a bit older and already has a fairly independent personality and a strong relationship with Laura. But Claire is much younger (she was basically a toddler last time she appeared) and probably a lot more impressionable, so how is big-cousin Akihiro going to respond to her?
I personally imagine he’ll be soooo out of his element, but he’ll try really damn hard to be nice to her (he does have a soft spot for small children after all) and also a bit on the over-protective side. Like:
Clarie: Come to my tea party! Here is your dress
Aki: In just a moment sweetie, cousin Aki has to go stab the big robot, okay?
Then the rest of the team finds a massacre of robots/bad guys scattered outside while Aki is hanging out with Claire in her playroom, attending her tea party in a ballgown and princess make-up.
Like, he’d be happy be happy to have lots of extended family but doesn’t know how to deal with it because it’s such a foreign concept to him. But he’ll try. I don’t know if I’m making sense

Watched Glass onion and here are my prevailing thoughts
Claire Debella is gay (her exact label idk)
She and Birdie happened once and they both remember it fondly
She and Lionel are a thing, either as FWB/old lovers or just to release stress from working with Miles on the daily.
Birdie is closest to Claire and Duke, like her older sibling energy
Peg and Birdie…? Maybe.
Whiskey did care for Duke. Love? Idk tho.
Birdie is sort of threatened by Whiskey replacing her as the apple of Miles’ eyes
Andi is the mom friend. When she got kicked off the group, Claire took that position.
Duke is actually protective of the women of their group despite being who he is
Miles’ own hubris (and habit of using people) is his downfall. He propped up his disruptors in positions of power and influence. Come trial time, their testimonies will have merit due to their achieved credibility.
