you gave up your spot in the Thunderbolts so Bob could join. Sure you have good ties with all Thunderbolts members but Val clearly stated before the final battle that only 6 members can be in the Thunderbolts. So you willingly gave up your place in the team so Bob could take it. After all. The Thunderbolts helped him fully control his powers as Sentry and The Void. After all. Before they did. He was a very unstable man. But now he’s fully stable thanks to the Thunderbolts helping him through his trauma from being abused and always blamed.

but you always remembered what Bucky told you when you left. “If you wanna come over and hang out or. Just. Stay over or live with us. That’s completely fine. Remember. You’re always apart of the family. Even when you leave.”

it’s still a heartwarming memory for you. As much as you didn’t even know Bob, like. At all. You still gave up your spot for him. Even tho you 2 clearly never met.

so you thought. Hey. Why not visit your second family which are the Thunderbolts* (also known as the New Avengers) and just chill.

as you approached in your car, you went through security since the guards outside the New Avengers Tower parking lot recognize you, they let you in. So. As you waited for the elevator to get to the main floor since the first 10 floors are just parking. For. Some reason. (Seriously why build a parking lot underneath a superhero building what the hell is that mindse-) you see the door open on Floor 11 and there he is. The new New Avengers member. Bob Reynolds. A shy, very powerful but a very very innocent man both on the inside and outside. Even more innocent than Bucky when he isn’t mad.

Bob stared at you for a moment before speaking in a shy and innocent voice… oh my gooood he’s SO. Innocent!

“h-hi! uhhh! Who are you?”
