That's EXACTLY what it was, they were not originally intended to be merged. When Hopeless ended his All-New X-Men run by showing a duplicate O5 in the past, it was intended that this would reveal that the time displaced O5 were AU all along. That's also why they allowed Cyclops to join the Champions (he left that team when it had a creative team change, as by that point Bunn had already started resolving the problem revealed in ANXM's finale). Bunn originally planned to end Blue by having them become the new Exiles (the Cross Time Capers arc is probably a remnant of that), but editorial made two decisions which thwarted that. Firstly, they commissioned a different Exiles series, controlled by the Avengers office. And then, they took the O5 off Bunn and had Brisson write them out in Extermination.

Pretty sure a rich boy like Warren lost his virginity before his wings grew out.
"Cable was right!"
Don't see a problem with the O5 memory comments. The way memory works, it's possible that it can feel both recent and a long time past at the same time.
That's not the problem. In Zub's interpretation Warren broke up with teenaged Laura a few months ago, and he remembers dating this teenager as if it were yesterday.
He suddenly remembers having an intimate relationship with this girl and probably still has romantic feelings for her and she is much younger than him now.
Context is king.
X-23's most basic surface level characteristic that any idiot should grasp: Stoicism.
I don't demand that her every minor appearance be a nuance in-depth examination of her character, but is it to much to ask she be written in Archetype?! This is storytelling 101! If you want people to stay invested in a character, you need to, at the bare minimum, write them such a way that they can plausibly be believed to be the same character!
"Wow. You made Spider-Man sad, congratulations. I stabbed The Hulk last week"

That's probably because of the changeover from All-New X-Men to X-Men Blue. Blue pretty much ignored the relationship but All-New Wolverine carried on as it was. Maybe Laura found out about Warren flirting with that cop, and dumped him? I guess with the creative teams having since shuffled again, we'll never know.
