Try writing a Stagger anyway, Bluemage - you might discover that you have a talent, or at least can churn out prose that's as good as a dime-novel romance. At the worst, you've wasted a few hours and discovered you don't like writing, and can bury the manuscript somewhere.
As for settings, there seems to be an abundance of places Doug has/will/might go where he's the setting's last, best hope. There's a dearth of places where he can relax and unwind. Even the official list is tilted toward world-saving - on the "responsibility" side, there's Steps II, IV, VII, VIII, X, XII, and XIII (and maybe I, V, VI and IX), while the "relax" side is limited to Steps III and XI.
We're running the poor metahuman ragged. No wonder he's upset about being on the Walk...

the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
