It's really a matter of survival. He joins the team during the attack and the Avengers feel like it's their last resort to win.

Or is he just using them? – Josh

In our story, Black Bolt has taken over after the Avengers lost the war during the Infinity event, so the world is in ruins. He's trying to rebuild civilization, but it doesn't feel like Earth anymore. Black Bolt has always been a king, but a whole planet is a lot more to deal with than he expected. Being king comes with a great cost, and Black Bolt is having troubles dealing with it all. No one really knows what happened to the Avengers, so the remaining Inhumans and citizens of Earth are holding out hope that the Avengers will return.- Josh
