Rachel stayed with the Richards enough that her and Franklin played together a lot as children, and Franklin was 4 years older than Rachel in the 811 universe.
In a way, I actually wouldn't mind it if Rachel left the X-books for a little bit and joined the FF books for a little while, perhaps looking for familiar faces who she relates to. Obviously she is too old for 616 Franklin, but it would be interesting to see Rachel interacting with Susan and Reed and to explore what her relationship was with them in the 811 universe before everyone was attacked by the Sentinels.
