Description
Alpha Flight prepare for a relaxing night at home in their mansion on Tamarind Island, with the usual bickering and personal problems going on – Northstar doesn’t approve of his sister Aurora being romantically involved with the paraplegic Bochs, while Snowbird has developed a death wish. Shaman has grown removed from humanity, and Vindicator tries to keep her “family” together. However, someone else is roaming Mansion Alpha, its former owner Lillian von Loont, a.k.a. Gilded Lily, who is shocked to learn that she is only a spirit after her previous encounter with two of Alpha Flight, and sets out to get herself a new body – namely Aurora’s. Gilded Lily uses her alchemical powers to free her former lover, fellow alchemist Diablo, from prison, while she attacks Alpha Flight, as she is intertwined with the mansion, in the process she kidnaps Aurora. Diablo and Gilded Lily are reunited, at first he wants nothing to do with her, but when he sees that she will get Aurora’s body provided their potion works, he agrees. However, Alpha Flight track them to a secret cavern beneath the mansion and together with Aurora they thwart the alchemists’ plan, in the process, Gilded Lily’s spirit is destroyed. Afterwards, Diablo is returned to prison and Alpha Flight are left alone in their home.
