Hmmmm, I may've been in error
My last post here I was kinda defending Hawkeye because he once had a relationship with the Scarlet Witch way back when. The memory gets fuzzy on points and I think I misremembered due to the fact there's been commentary on such over the years in the comics and other little continuity sanfus. So, I decided to take a peek at Wikipedia:
After Magneto's abduction by the alien Stranger effectively broke up the Brotherhood, the twins relocated back to Europe but quickly returned to America with the intention of becoming Avengers and redeeming themselves for their actions while part of the Brotherhood. They were accepted by Captain America and became part of the team alongside Hawkeye, who would become Wanda's closest friend inside the team.

Art by Richard Howell.The Scarlet Witch has become one of the team's mainstays since then and one of the most popular Avengers in the title's run. When Roy Thomas took over the book in the late 1960s, Wanda's courtship with the synthoid Vision would become one of the book's main plotlines and become one of the most beloved romance stories of the book's franchise. The relationship was filled with turmoil though, from Vision's feelings that Wanda deserved a lover who was human and not an android to both Quicksilver and Hawkeye's objections to the relationship (Quicksilver's due to his disdain for his sister loving a robot while Hawkeye's objections came due to his own feelings of love for Wanda). While Hawkeye quickly got over his jealousy and gave Wanda and Vision his blessing, Quicksilver disowned his sister for her love and only relented when the telepath Moondragon telepathically erased Quicksilver's disdain for Vision from his mind, after Moondragon walked into a room and caught Quicksilver's bigotry in full display during an argument between Quicksilver and Hawkeye.
Close enough. I'd known for a long time that Hawkeye had had feelings for Wanda strongly, and she for him, and given his relationship patterns it kinda just got set in my head that they'd been together, however briefly, prior to her love with the Vision.
My bad.
Still don't see what went down between them in the last New Avengers as a bad thing or Hawkeye taking advantage of a situation but I suspect I may just have to accept I'm alone in that.
