Some time later, Carol Danvers developed a brain lesion that worsened every time she used her powers to fly. To help her remain healthy and mobile, her friend Wendy Kawasaki modified one of Captain America's old Sky-Cycles and Carol hired Dakota to teach her how to fly it. Dakota additionally helped Carol track down the new Deathbird and, along with her other friends and the Avengers, supported Carol in her pursuit to identify and beat her enemy Yon-Rogg (going by the new name Magnitron).
