Gay would work. For me it would also work if she came out as asexual.
I'm expecting good action scenes from Duggan. I'm more skeptical with her interactions. There are quite a few team members. I'm concerned that most of her alloted panels will be spent on her and Synch. A plot who will probably go: Laura has no interest - >a turning point(either an conversation or grand gesture from Synch will spark this) - >Laura gets interested->they become a couple.
