      You know what? Most of Laura's history has already been covered under Goblyn. I think in the interest of bandwidth I'll refer you to her entry.
      There are a few additional matters to clear up, though. Laura Dean was severely wounded by the mutant named Wild Child and this led to Alpha Flight meeting her parents. At this time Heather Hudson stated her intention for the team to gain legal guardianship of Laura and Goblyn; whether this was ever followed up is not known.
      Upon waking from her coma Dean accidentally transported herself, Goblyn, Persuasion, Witchfire and her parents to the dimensional backwater where she had banished the Dreamqueen. Upon the group's return from that dimension, and after an adventure vs. the Master, Dean joined the new Beta Flight as Pathway. Laura has not appeared since that version of Beta was disbanded after Alpha Flight v1 #130.
      Laura Dean is a mutant capable of opening passageways to different dimensions. She can also make passageways to different locales on Earth, as she did when she sent China Force home to China.
