Description
Radius, Flex, Murmur and Sunfire discuss the strange man who keeps looking at them in the diner. The man then reveals himself as Mesmero and puts the heroes under his control. After arriving back at Department H, Heather, Guardian, Judd, Sasquatch and Manbot are then sent to track down the rookies once the Department has located the signal from the vehicle they took. While this is going on, Mesmero reveals why he isn’t dead after his incident with the Dark Riders in which he used his powers to make his killer, Gauntlet, believe he had killed him. He also informs the new members of Alpha Flight and Sunfire of his previous encounter with Alpha Flight from long ago. Mac and Heather arrive at the diner while the other three wait outside, and the leading Alphans soon discover that the rookies are under some sort of mind control. They call Puck, Manbot and Sasquatch in for help when the rookies start fighting them. However, Mesmero reveals himself and after Vindicator forces Murmur to free herself from Mesmero’s control, he then uses his powers on Vindicator. Murmur goes around freeing her teammates, while Mesmero takes control of Guardian, Sasquatch and Puck. Meanwhile, Lilli leaves Hull House, believing that she is being placed with a family. She is confused when she learns she is going to one day be part of Alpha Flight, and is taken to Department H, where she undergoes various tests, and after learning she cannot call her friend back at Hull House, resigns herself to her new fate, for now. In Department H’s Beta Flight wing, two Epsilons discuss their new uniforms, only to be startled by a movement in one of the tanks. Elsewhere in Department H, in the mysterious Prometheus Division, Myra Haddock is thrilled when her Prometheus Pit is completed, believing it will usher in a new era of greatness.
