Poor Avengers Mansion. Whose going to find the money to repair it after Gravitron splits it to pieces? I'm not sure what Gravitron refers too about touching the Cosmic Cube for a second? Anybody know about this?
Rogue seems resigned to the UA remaining reformed, and she is outvoted in letting Wanda back in the team. Brother Voodoo makes the legitimate claim that his Spirit was taken over as well as Wandas in Secret Empire, so if he is forgiven, so should Wanda. But because Rogue has something lasting against Wanda, that hate isn't going anywhere fast. I liked Wandas comeback when Rogue asked Wanda what she came back to the team for, because Steve Rogers disbanded it. Wanda asked why Rogue came back too? That shut Rogue up. I think the answer is both women have an affinity to this team that was formed to heal the division between Avengers and Mutants, and Rogue and Wanda are the symbols of that division. Those two, together, constitute what is wrong between the Avengers and X-Men, so whenever they are together in one place, trying to help as a team, it's what Steve Rogers wanted to be played out - X-Men and Avengers being heroes and showing each other that fact, is a way to bring them closer, when they see the good they do in the one team. It's a groundbreaking development in the MU, the reality that mutants and super heroes can behave the same.
What is important here is the Unity team were disbanded. They couldn't let go of this reality where Avengers and Mutants work together. No matter how much Rogue hates Wanda, Rogue will swallow her pride for this, because it presents the most hope for going forward, and, is a precedent for all future associations that relate to Mutants and Avengers. The Avengers have had Mutants as members going back to Wanda, Pietro, and Beast. What the Unity Squad brings together is "adversity between the teams" in the same room, and asks it to get over itself to get the job done. What I didn't realise is it brings the FF, Mutants, and Avengers together for the first time in one team.
