"Largely because of distrust. I had a very bad encounter with Osborn's Thunderbolts back when I first returned to Earth after the war. I was attacked before my 24 hour grace period for registering was up and Iron Man had to call off the attack. At the time, Moonstone stated that the Thunderbolts had greater authority than SHIELD over the situation but Mr. Stark got her to back off and promised a sternly worded phone call to Mr. Osborn."
He went on, "Considering that fight happened in an area teeming with civilians I've been a little...nervous around his teams since. I figured I'd go back with the Defenders since they had the facilities and medical staff to check me out as well. In fact, I'm fairly certain Mr. Osborn doesn't even have any psychics as powerful as J'onn in his employ."
