	One way or another, Barbara Larkin came in contact with [[Cobra]] and made a deal with them. She would have a [[Power Station Alpha\|new type of power station]] designed and built. Though the power station would inherently not be a good idea because of the destructive potential it would have if it would make its way into the wrong hands, the project would get money to Larkin's home state and generate a good number of jobs. Cobra's task then was to steal and destroy the power station, covering Larkin's tracks. What Cobra would get out of this is unknown, but because the power station had always been intended to be destroyed, the architects, in league with Larkin, had not taken proper fail-safes or substantial precautions in the design, leaving Power Station Alpha with considerable weaknesses. {{storylink\|Ashes, Ashes...}}		One way or another, Barbara Larkin came in contact with [[Cobra]] and made a deal with them.

	Though many opposed the project, Larkin's insistence managed to convince the necessary majority of the project's benefits. Alpha was assembled at [[Fort Lewis]], in the later stages under protection of [[G.I. Joe (team)\|G.I. Joe]]. A day before the power station's first test launch, Larkin and three congressmen were escorted to Fort Lewis by [[Hawk (G.I. Joe)\|Hawk]]. Larkin and Hawk hit it off well, with Hawk complimenting her on her achievement and taking her side when two of the congressmen expressed their continued skepticism regarding the safety of Alpha. Not long thereafter, the [[Dreadnok]]s Ripper, Torch and Buzzer broke into the facility to steal Power Station Alpha on their own, having tired of waiting for [[Cobra Commander]]'s order for an organized theft. Larkin was personally brought to safety by Hawk, who along with the rest of G.I. Joe then chased off the Dreadnoks.

	Barbara Larkin returned to [[Washington, D.C.]] to attend a hearing regarding investigations into the actual safety of the Power Station Alpha project. When it was over, she was accosted by the press, but left them with the remark that she had an important appointment. Larkin had [[Terence]] drive her to [[The Cavalier]] to meet with the [[Baroness]], her liaison with Cobra. Larkin expressed her anger over Cobra's failure to destroy Alpha, but Baroness calmly pointed out that the whole operation had always been a risk, that she had known that from the start and that G.I.

Merely an hour or so later, he presented the evidence at a meeting at the [[Pentagon]] that Hawk was attending too, definitely proving the claims that Larkin was in on Power Station Alpha's faulty design. Still, Hawk wanted to hear it from her personally, so he went to Larkin's hotel room, demanding the truth.

	Brought to safety with Hawk and the congressmen somewhere in Fort Lewis, Larkin saw off Hawk when he returned to lead the Joes against Superion. She returned to her room inside the military base, where she was later visited by Hawk. She practically dragged him in for a makeout session, which he certainly didn't object to. Whatever they had in mind for the afternoon, it stayed at first base because Power Station Alpha got stolen. Fortunately for Larkin, Hawk at least stayed at Fort Lewis to coordinate the retrieval mission. The G.I. Joe aircraft came to a clash with the [[Cobra]] fleet that had comes to escort Alpha, coincidentally nearby a cruise ship. The Cobra pilots threatened to destroy the ship if they weren't allowed to leave, giving Larkin again an opportunity to try to get the Joes to destroy Power Station Alpha. She insisted the lives of those civilians were more important, but that they also couldn't let Cobra take Alpha with them. Hawk disagreed with her solution, stating that destroying Alpha meant exposing those same civilians to the radioactive plutonium fallout and that since it was his primary task to ensure the safety of the power station, he wouldn't give up Alpha so easily. Therefore, he agreed to let Cobra take Alpha with them for the time being. {{storylink\|Power Struggle}}		Brought to safety with Hawk and the congressmen somewhere in Fort Lewis, Larkin saw off Hawk when he returned to lead the Joes against Superion.
