Description
At Roxxon, James MacDonald Hudson explains to Box, Lil, Windshear and Forge how he survived his battle suit exploding on him during the battle with Omega Flight, revealing that the story Delphine Courtney told was indeed true: that he was hurled through space-time and ended up thousands of years in the past on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, where the alien race the Qwrlln restored him, adapting cybernetic parts to his body, effectively transforming him into a cyborg, before putting him into a deep sleep until time caught up with his future. He explains that he crashed back on Earth and was found by Roxxon, and left in his current state he entered their cyber systems, until he was freed by Box and the others. Hudson tells Samuel Higgins the Roxxon facility coordinator that he is leaving, before Lil apologizes for taking part in his death, to which Hudson replies that if Alpha Flight can forgive her and let her work with them, then so can he. Windshear quits Roxxon and leaves with the Alphans, but not without Samuel Higgins swearing revenge. Sasquatch, Shaman, Aurora, Talisman and Puck are battling the Master’s Remnant Men, and trying to find a way to escape without harming them. Eventually, Talisman takes Shaman’s medicine pouch and puts it over her face so she can quickly search for the right spell to turn the Remnant Men back to their real selves. She manages to do so, and the Master teleports his complex away so he can bide his time elsewhere. The Alphans are returned to the Black Hills, only to discover that Talisman may be dead. Wolverine and Vindicator are still confronting Gamma Flight, and after subduing Wildchild, they try to get Gamma Flight to work with them through the problems. Silver and Auric take their leave, declaring that they can defend their own country, and return to China, while Witchfire takes Vindicator up on the offer to serve under Alpha Flight’s supervision. Nemesis debates with Wolverine about the fairness of her going to jail for trying to help Wildchild, her friend, and claims that all she wants for him is a chance to start over like other Alphans - Wolverine, Diamond Lil and Puck - have been given. Wolverine stands by his decree that Wildchild has no hope of being redeemed, to which Nemesis doesn’t take well and disappears with Wildchild, Wolverine and Heather unsure if she teleported away or killed them both. Heather is concerned now about not being able to use Wildchild’s blood to cure Wolverine’s healing factor, but Logan isn’t concerned, and takes his leave, convincing Heather that she has what it takes to lead Alpha Flight no matter what, and suggests she change her name to Guardian, which she does. Heather and Witchfire arrive at the hospital where Laura Dean and Talisman are both being taken care of, and she meets Laura Dean’s parents, telling them that they have a lot to answer for. Madison, Lil and Windshear arrive and Heather berates Jeffries for leaving without telling her where he was going. She stops however when Mac makes his presence known, and the two are reunited. Two days later, the parliamentary select committee readjourns to decide Alpha Flight’s future and the Prime Minister announces that a new headquarters is being built in Toronto for a re-established Department H, which is going to be a fully functioning organization to support Alpha Flight, that Gamma Flight will be an administrative service responsible for super human studies, while Beta Flight will be a training team to serve under Alpha Flight. Heather, making her debut as Guardian, announces that they can make the world a better place through loyalty, with trust, faith and strength and that Alpha Flight is here to serve Canada and the world. Meanwhile, in Latveria, Dr. Doom prepares to do what he must for his country, which involves something dubious with Canada!
