Uh, well... that's definitely a... Reaction. One that leaves David just staring at her for a long moment. Which is impressive. When one knows, regularly hangs out with, and is kinda sorta dating a speedster not to mention now living with Daken even though he made sure his room was far away from said man's, getting this level of shocked and confused is a very special thing. Especially for a psychomimetic.
But hey, he's clearly got to deal with this, starting with the hug, which he returns. Awkwardly. This was not what he'd expected.
"Why wouldn't I know you? I mean, I know we haven't really hung out since you moved to Krakoa, but I had heard you had shown up. And when I told America and Kate they told me that I should keep an eye out for you."
After all, Gwen might have been a West Coast Avenger, and he might have been a Young Avenger, but really, it was that last word that connected them. Even if he was a mutant and the proper Avengers wasn't aware of his tenure with the younger branch, the rule still applied to them. Once an Avenger, always an Avenger.
"I'm sorry you've been alone. And now you've got to sit me down and tell me who to expect from home."
Because David? Totally doesn't flinch at the use of a multiversal designation. He knows he's a 616'er, Noh-Varr had been happy to provide that label. And if Gwen was applying it to others, that meant there were people from home.
