=== Serving Lifeforce ===
Wingflare was specifically sought out by Lifeforce, granted immortality in exchange for keeping the city of Lux in the air. Wingflare participated in many raids on towns, using her powers to fly [[Ravens]] down from Lux to attack. At Arlington, Wingflare was hunting [[Zeff]] and [[Jax]]. When Jax escaped, she turned on Zeff. She told Zeff to run, saying if he ran fast enough he could live. When he refused to play her game, her weakness was triggered and she accidentally dropped a building on him. Later, she participated in the attack on [[Galveston]], where Jax attacked her and stole some of her hair without her knowledge. Jax managed to escape after [[Abigail Casey|Abigail]] distracted her.{{book ref|lux|2}}
After Jax and [[Briggen]] attached a motivator made from her DNA to the city’s power grid and turned it on, Wingflare was able to sense the motivator being used and determine where it was. This allowed the Ravens to remove the motivator from the power grid, unbeknownst to the Reckoners.{{cite}}
After Languish was captured, Wingflare and Lifeforce thought him to be a traitor. When Languish escaped and ran out into the open, Wingflare attacked him, holding him in her grasp and stretching his limbs. Languish unexpectedly dampened Wingflare’s powers, causing her to drop him. In addition, Lux began to fall as it was free from her control.{{book ref|lux|34}} When Jax punched Languish in the face and knocks him to the ground, it broke his concentration. Wingflare’s powers were restored, and she fled and stopped Lux’s fall.{{book ref|lux|35}}
=== A Final Game ===
Wingflare fled to her floating compound, and Lux and Paige followed her there. They made it to the Arkansas capitol, and were preparing to move to the White House, but Wingflare knew their location and made a straight path to the White House, removing all other bridges. Jax tried to shot the shockwave motivator at her, but she used her powers to pin his arms in place. Paige tried to attack her, but to no avail. Wingflare toyed with them, disappearing from sight and keeping them in suspense. She separated the two of them, leading Jax on a chase through the rooms of the White House, which Wingflare constantly moved around with her powers.{{book ref|lux|38}}
Wingflare led him to the old Oval Office, where three platters sat on the table, each one with a cover. Wingflare announced that they were going to play a game. Wingflare told them that she is deathly allergic to pine nuts, and that it’s her weakness. Wingflare told Jax that each plate contains a piece of licorice. One piece was ordinary licorice, one was laced with pine sap, and one was laced with a lethal poison. She said that each of them must eat one of the pieces of licorice, and that Jax could choose who gets which. Jax thought that her weakness was broken bones, and so used the shockwave guns to shatter her bones. It didn’t work however, and her bones healed. She took back control of Jax, then demanded that he picks a platter. Jax realized that Wingflare was hiding something, and figured out her weakness. Jax doesn’t pick a platter, refusing to play her game. Wingflare became enraged, and her weakness activated. Jax shot Wingflare in the head, and it killed her.{{book ref|Lux|38}}
