History

(Impulse #9) - XS contacted her cousin Impulse and asked if he could help her return to her own time. He told her her best hope was his guardian Max Mercury, but Max was missing. XS tried to blend in as Bart Allen's cousin, but ticked him off by nearly giving away his secret identity to his neighbor Helen Caldicott. He forgave her because she helped him defeat a biker terrorizing Manchester. XS and Impulse lost their powers and were attacked by Savitar's avatars.

(Flash II #109) -

(Impulse #10, 11) - XS, Jay Garrick, Johnny Quick, Iris Allen and Linda park visited Max Mercury in the hospital. Savitar's avatars attacked them, but the speedsters powers returned thanks to the actions of Flash and Jesse Quick. They defeated the avatars, and all the speedster except XS went to confront Savitar. XS was wounded during the fight with the avatars and was left behind to protect Iris and Linda.

(Impulse #12) - XS and Impulse spent time together, playing video games and visiting the Rock and Roll Music Museum. Impulse told her she could stay with him as long as she wanted. They went to a school dance, but when Lonnie Beale of the band Generation Why was a no-show they went to go find him. His old manager the Colonel and some thugs were threatening him, and after Impulse and XS defeated the criminals they rushed Lonnie to the dance. Lonnie was knocked out by an overzealous female fan, so Bart and XS borrowed instruments from the Rock and Roll Museum and got up on stage and played. They were a hit, but after their performance XS told him she really had to get back home to the 30th Century. Before she ran through time she told Bart to stay in touch if he could.
