The Shadow feels very protective and possessive towards Myra, as he does all his agents. It's not precisely father/daughter, no, but I'm at a loss for any other terms to describe it. She has reminded him that he felt perhaps something more for the Myra closer to his age, once upon a time. He dismissed all possibility of a relationship, and he doesn't regret that even now, but he had managed to all but forget it until recently. On the other hand he doesn't feel that way towards her at all, in part because of the extreme age difference. I suppose she's a friend, and that's rare enough for him to be important. It's also extremely awkward for him, even if he tries not to show that.
He would, in a heartbeat, recruit her away from his alternate. He hasn't because he feels that would be wrong of him for several reasons, but if the situation ever changes to where that feels like an option, he wouldn't hesitate.
For the Shadow... it would very greatly depend on what was going on in his life. If he were healthy and his work in his own world was somehow on hold, or he'd be removed from time passing there, then yes he'd be interested. It's very much the obligation of his work that makes that tricky.
Aloysius disapproves. That shouldn't be taken personally, because Aloysius disapproves of nearly everything in the Nexus and usually won't touch the place with a ten foot pole. He also doesn't like Courtney getting herself into violence, but she does, often, and manages to pull herself through and occasionally even enjoy the battle. You must remember this is the same man who grounded Courtney over her birthday for running off to battle Khan's minions without permission.
