** The Avengers as a whole qualify. They have no problem working as a team in canon, but are only able to do so when there's a bigger threat happening and while they are a tight-knit group of friends in their own right, they tend to gravitate towards one specific person or another, contributing to them being fragmented. In this timeline, the Avengers are ''more'' united than in canon, as they all help Bucky get acclimated into a life of normality, with everyone frequently living in the Compound as a byproduct of helping him out and even developing growing friendships with each other as a result. Even during the Accords situation, both Tony and Steve have grown to trust each other to the point that their disagreement over it didn't escalate into a full-on fight.
