By the Dallas fight in #227, Dazzler is one of the X-Men willing to sacrifice herself to stop the Adversary. Roma brings them back, and Alison goes with the group to Australia while the world believes they're dead. That's a long way from turning down membership because she wanted to concentrate on singing. She has people she's fighting for now, even if the life she wanted hasn't just stopped mattering. Longshot becomes part of that life too. They get involved while they're on the team together. There's attraction, but he's also somebody with huge gaps in his memory who doesn't understand his own history. In #247, Alison comes up with the plan to send the combined Master Mold and Nimrod through the Siege Perilous. The thing keeps rebuilding itself, so she gives the team somewhere to send it instead of trying to keep destroying it. Rogue tries to push it through and gets trapped in its grip. She tells Alison to blast them both into the portal. Alison wants to free her, but Rogue insists. Alison takes the shot and then runs toward the portal after her. She's too late. That's a brutal thing to ask of someone she once fought as an enemy. Rogue is trusting her to finish the job even if it takes her too. Then the Australian team keeps coming apart. Longshot leaves to look for answers about himself. Other people disappear or leave, and eventually Alison is one of the four remaining X-Men who go through the Siege Perilous in #251. She and Longshot don't leave together. They take different routes out of that period of the team.
