She might have a physical attraction, since her alternate self obviously found him attractive--but the current circumstances in the story don't exactly seem conducive to building a romance, and its not like there is a lot of time left in the series anyway. I don't really see MacKay starting up a new romantic relationship for her with a character who is just entering the story now, just as the book is about to end. Especially when that character is tied to another book, given that Nighthawk has been an ongoing part of Jason Aaron's AVENGERS storylines.
The fact that they had a romantic history in another timeline which one of them remembers and the other doesn't will likely add an interesting wrinkle to their dynamic here, but I really doubt you need to worry about them actually starting a romantic relationship now.
