Synopsis for "Dreams Die Hard..."

Heather and Wolverine reminisce about the past, in particular the recently departed James Hudson, Heather’s husband, Wolverines best friend, the man called Guardian! They go over the events leading up to Mac’s attempt to capture Wolverine from the X-Men, from both sides of the story. Logan learns of all the bureaucracy and things Mac had to deal with after his sudden departure from Department H, while Heather learns that alongside the X-Men, Logan saved the universe! Wolverine describes the battle that went on between Mac and he, and eventually the other X-Men he was with, until Mac retreated, and Heather tells Logan of what happened when Mac returned to Canada. Logan tries to convince Heather that she is not responsible for Mac’s death and that sometimes dreamers die, but the dream lives on. Puck joins the two and together with Logan, they convince Heather that she can lead Alpha Flight, to carry on Mac’s dream, which she accepts. Meanwhile, with the aim of severing ties to her brother Northstar, Aurora has her teammate and lover, Walter Langkowski experiment on her, using molecular realignment to change the structure of her DNA.
