Description
Concerned about his sister’s personality switches, Northstar takes his sister Jeanne-Marie to a psychologists’ office, but the doctor doesn’t find anything odd wrong with her. Quite on the contrary, the doctor accuses Northstar of being unable to accept that they grew up under different circumstances. Jean-Paul realizes that he can’t convince the doctor of Aurora’s mood swings without jeopardize their secret identities and positions in Alpha Flight. Shortly after leaving the office, a thief tries to steal Jeanne-Marie’s purse, causing her to revert to her Aurora persona again. The thief is easily caught and turned in, but his bail is by someone called Earnest St. Ives, or Deadly Earnest. The twins meet with an old friend of Northstar, Raymonde Belmonde, a man who helped young Jean-Paul through different times of his life. Raymonde reveals that his restaurant is having problems with St. Ives too, which is when his daughter Danielle arrives. Northstar is rather startled by his friend having an adult daughter, but he has not much time to wonder, as soon operatives of St. Ives arrive. They knock Jean-Paul and Danielle to the ground and abduct Raymonde and Aurora, thinking her to be his daughter. They are led to St. Ives, who asks Raymonde for the last time to sell him his restaurant. As Raymonde refuses the “offer“, Deadly Earnest touches his face, killing him. Jean-Paul and Danielle are both shocked, and helplessly watch as St.Ives’s car drives away with Aurora inside. Elsewhere, the former Gamma Flight member Smart Alec is recruited for a secret project by a mysterious woman known as Delphine Courtney.
