Maybe I should clarify:
I wouldn't never have Euro bringing Eddie in one of the missions. I stated it somewhere above. If that's the case of the story concept, that they end stranded somewhere as the result of a mission away from the island, that's a matter of fact that Euro can't have Eddie with him.
But because NOW (I don't know if it will be the same even a month from now) I am interested into exploring the father aspect of Euro, if we are going to do this story, I would be able to have my character bringing Eddie with him. Especially because they are away from everything, and I will not have the excuse of having Eddie at a day nursery or with a nanny. Euro will have to face the fact of having always the kid with himself, and in dire situations. It's right the chance to have the kid in an adventure that interest me, just because I will never have him in one of the business missions.
In any case, I see Eddie as a part of the character concept of Euro, like Jym is for Adem.

Euro, I see Eddie as nothing but character baggage. Just like Tobias' cat. He adds nothing to progressing the main story, and is simply another consideration to be taken into account when trying to write any form of realism into a scene. In that, how can I realistically justify that Raptor brings a two-year-old into critically dangerous situations? Same problem I would have with Axel joining Vanguard (no offense, TTT. I mean, we've talked about this before)
As I said above, Euro would not bring Eddie on a mission on purpose. But still I would be jumping at the chance to have them being PUT in a dangerous situation by fate. I see this story as that one possibility.
But, like I said, I am interested into this NOW. Probably when I will have experimented this one or two time, I will be tired of it, so if the story come in three or four months, I will probably not at all interested into bringing Eddie. Who knows?

Euro: In my mind it is not only very possible to leave Eddie behind on the Vanguard Lost story, but also use it as a way to evoke that paternal instinct in Raptor. If Raptor is "lost in space" without his son and is any kind of father at all, his motivation for getting home would obviously be his clone moreso than anything else. A good chance for character development without including a fringe (not to be confused with FRINGE) character.
True. But still, I would like to have the time to create in the writing the relationship between Euro and Eddie, that for now has just been hinted at. Like I said, if the story comes a few moths from now, I would be glad to leave Eddie back. Now, seems to me that leaving Eddie back would be just continue the forced separation that lasted for too long.
Doc and Sammitch: it was a reference to Doctor Fate, back when Giffen did a miniseries about him, at the end of the eighties.

By Pro, again:
If it is THAT big of a deal, then, bring the kid. But, I probably won't even acknowledge his existence in the story posts.
That's fair. I have never ever written a line about the B team, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

By Pro, and then I will shut off my big mouth:
This was just a simple idea. If no one wants to do it, I'm fine with that. I think it's unfortunate. But, there's no point if no one would enjoy it.
I think it's a great idea. I want to do it. I would like to do with my character at his full development, but even if it will be not the case, I will be along for the ride, that's sure.
