We can potentially be (become?) friends! Since New Avengers is not a thing that happened to us?? As far as I can tell, I'm not 100% sure if they actually were bros before that? He was never a Defender pre-Fraction right? Canon notwithstanding, would these guys have some reason to know each other before now?
Wanda can know who he is! Good to know, otherwise he would have a really different perception of her. Did she keep in touch?
