Description
Alpha Flight are engaged in battle with the mind-controlled Big Hero Six, who are defeated and freed from the mind control by Alpha Flight when a former associate of the Flight’s - Flashback comes pleading for help. Major Mapleleaf gets a new costume after his was ripped to shreds by Honey Lemon’s creatures, before Flashback informs Alpha of his predicament, that he believes his past is about to catch up with him - meaning his past self is about to summon his current self to the past where he will be killed. He reveals that after witnessing his future self get killed, with the hope that he would end that future, he destroyed the costume, but it came back to him. Alpha Flight contemplate their first time travel mission with the hope that they can prevent both Flashback’s death and the first death of Guardian, but with little regard for the consequences. Nemesis uses her sword to send Major Mapleleaf to the past, where Mapleleaf comes to Guardian just before he was about to move to New York, and as Mac is easily convinced, he agrees not to move to New York, thus preventing deaths. Nemesis learns that Mapleleaf is haunted by his abusive failure of a father, the original Major Mapleleaf, before Alpha Flight witness dozens of Box robots approaching them, ready for battle.
