Personally I would watch 90 minutes of Nick Fury and his dog, on a boat, in the middle of nowhere, fishing. Just Nick, drinking beer and catching the occasional fish and talking to his dog

Maybe bitching about people who use too many commas

I want the dog to be a Scottish Terrier wearing a tartan hat to keep the sun out of its eyes

He and McGuffin (the dog) spend many a day on that boat and in the cabin near the dock on the lake. The fish are good and cook up beautifully. It’s quiet. No silly superheroes demanding his attention. No idiotic, apparently at least partially fascist security council getting in his face about NOT blowing up civilians.

He gets the occasional note from Rhodey on his recovery and subtle comments on how Secretary Ross (Lord, is Nick happy he wasn’t heading SHIELD for THAT mess) is fucking everything up. He gets texts from a burner phone he knows is Sam’s letting him know that the underground folks are safe and sound… well as sound as they ever are.

He hears from Laura and the kids, safe in their newest safe house since the cat got let out of the bag. There are pictures from Lila (he still can’t get over her middle name being Nicole) and some pictures of Cooper’s last hockey game. Apparently the kid takes after his dad and can’t seem to miss. There’s the baby pictures too, of course.

He keeps tabs on Phil’s protege in the news and he smiles because the
girl’s got style and he LIKES it. Quake’s got a good ring to it.

But he doesn’t deal with that anymore.

Nope. It’s just him and McGuffin.

And a small satellite phone just in case the world goes to hell and they can’t fix it without him.

Again.
