So my front disk has a slight bend in it after Wires I think, Noobi said just bend it back, is there a better way?

lol, i didnt even notice the typo! lucky i quoted ay.
leave it if its only a little bent, if its kinda bent try straightening it, if that fails spend $65

You can straighten discs with careful whacking with a hammer, I've done it successfully on road bikes a few times and a couple of unsuccesfull ones...must stop crashing!
Locate the high point on the disk and mark it with a felt pen or something, take the disc off the hub and support it on two metal bars about 50mm apart. You need metal so they don't absorb any of the hammer force, wood won't do, I've used the top face of a large vise set 50mm open for this.
Whack the high point with a hammer.
Unless you have a surface table (highly unlikely) you will need to remount the disc and check for runout and then keep doing this until you either lose the plot or straighten the disc.
i did one once, i stuck the bike on the stand, spun the wheel, found the bit where it was bent, then hit it with a hammer. that fixed it mint.
if that doesnt work, id spend the $65
