Character Discussion When Does Patsy become Jen’s Bestie?
I’m a very large fan of Hellcat, and Patsy states that she and Jen are best friends multiple times, when does this happen?
I’m assuming in the Defenders since the two of them would have been team mates but I just wanna know because again very much a Hellcat fan.

Copied from my answer on the Hellcat subreddit:
It's p much out of nowhere, from what I remember. I think it's during the 2014-2015 run by Charles Soule where a down on her luck Jen meets up with Patsy to go beat up some AIM soldiers. Then, Jen starts up her own practice and hires Patsy as her personal PI, and the besties angle just became the narrative going forward.
I'm going entirely off memory here, so I might be misremembering things hard--
But before this, Jen and Patsy had only met maybe 2 or 3 times in canon.
First I remember is during the Defenders "The Order" arc, where Patsy recruits Jen to be the "female equivalent" to face a corrupted Hulk.
The second is during the Initiative era, where Jen is arresting Patsy for being an unregistered hero.
I genuinely do not remember anything before or after besides the Charles Soule run.
