It is still unknown whether Nemesis helped Kyle to get some treatment or if he returned to Department H on his own, but he was exposed to a new experimental drug and psych therapy. It 
was an overall success as not only did it cure Kyle of his bestial urges but also it reversed his mutation, transforming him back to his fully human, rather handsome appearance. Still, he possessed his agility, fighting experience and healing factor, which is why the Department decided to once more use Kyle as a field operative. Dubbed Weapon Omega and given a mask to hide his identity, he was ordered to join Alpha Flight. After his first mission, Kyle revealed his face to his teammates, which led to some commotion at first, but before long the other Alphans were convinced that he had really changed and wanted to atone for his past. [Alpha Flight (1st series) #102-104]
Weapon Omega accompanied Alpha Flight on their World Tour and got to meet other heroes like the American X-Factor and some super-powered individuals in Europe. The tour was cut short, 
however, when the Infinity War occurred. Alpha Flight returned to the North American continent to meet up with some other hero teams, as evil duplicates of them were causing destruction all over. Face to face with his own evil self, actually a simulacrum of him from his Wild Child days, Kyle questioned if he could really ever be fully cured, or if there was some remnant of the beast buried deep inside himself. [Alpha Flight (1st series) #111-112]
Questioning himself, Wild Child temporarily left Alpha Flight to find some answers about himself. It was right then that he found himself targeted by Wyre, who had learned that one of the people 
who had been modified with his DNA was still alive. Wyre drugged Kyle and overpowered him but, instead of killing him right away, he teased and taunted him about his past, trying to get Kyle to snap into his killer mood, which would have proven him right in slaughtering him. However, Kyle did not and was ready to accept his fate, in return for some answers about his past. Before the situation could be solved either way, Alpha Flight intervened, as they had searched for their missing teammate, concerned about his state of mind. [Alpha Flight (1st series) #114-115]
Back at Department H, Kyle realized that rather dying than fighting back was just another way of running away from his problems. In order to become whole and to be his own man, he needed to find out about his past and to learn who he was. Kyle thought the best place to start was with his old pal, Nemesis. Wyre and several others had the same idea, though, and when all involved parties met in the sewers beneath Montreal another battle erupted. During the fight, Wyre gave away his reasoning for wanting to kill Kyle. He couldn’t stand what the Secret Empire had turned him into and was ashamed by the part he had in it. Kyle, however, proved that he had overcome the Empire’s manipulation. Though he was modified to think like an animal, he found it within him to be able to forgive Wyre, something a mere animal would not be capable of. Now once more assure of himself, Kyle talked about his position with team leader Heather Hudson and General Clarke, the head of Department H. He now longer felt like Wild Child or Weapon Omega, but wanted to be his own man and symbolically took on a new moniker - Wildheart. [Alpha Flight (1st series) #116-118]
Kyle continued to serve Alpha Flight until Canada experienced its own wave of anti-mutant / superhero hysteria. Thinking this to be a too hot topic, Department H decided to temporarily shut down the Flight programs and lay low for a while. [Alpha Flight (1st series) #130] It was just the team’s official status as a group that was affected, though, and several of the Alphans remained at Department H and served as individual operatives. Kyle and Aurora started a brief relationship. For once in his life, everything was perfect but it soon all came crashing down. Out of the blue, Kyle’s body betrayed him, as he mutated back into his former look, his face sporting animalistic features. Fearing the effects his changed looks would have on Aurora’s fragile psyche, he jumped the first chance to leave Canada, which presented itself in Valeria Cooper, asking for assistance in retrieving X-Factor’s kidnapped leader, Havok. [X-Factor (1st series) #116]
Fully joining the team after the successful rescue mission, Kyle returned to the name Wild Child, as it was more fitting with his looks. He also tried to talk to Val 
Cooper about their shared history, but she acted rather distant and showed him the cold shoulder. Val didn't like being reminded of her failures, and was more busy with trying to keep the team’s resilient criminal, Mystique, under control. [X-Factor (1st series) #112-115]
Before long, Aurora hunted down Wild Child and it became painfully clear that his sudden departure had done more harm than facing his ugliness would have done. Not knowing why her lover had abandoned her, Jeanne-Marie had blamed her sanity problems to be the cause for the break-up. Now once more over the edge, she arrived with a bad temper, declaring that if she couldn’t have Kyle, no one could. She was soothed by 
Mystique shapeshifting into the handsome Kyle, but Wild Child refused to see her being lied to again and told Aurora that it was yet another trick. This was too much for her to handle and, after she released her light powers in a rather explosive way, she fainted and was picked up by Northstar and Puck, who took her back to Canada. Wild Child stayed with X-Factor, feeling guilty and ashamed. [X-Factor (1st series) #116]
Kyle found comfort in a rather unusual pair of arms - those of Bishop’s sister, Shard, or actually 
her holographic projection. When the experimental holographic projector that was working with downloads of Shard’s mental engrams had started to malfunction, the X-Man had given it to Forge for repair and improvement. Shard gained sentience and, getting bored in Forge’s lab, she started to spend time with Kyle, whom she made feel not as ugly as he thought. She told him that an obvious mutant as he would be considered a good mate in her future timeline. Wild Child wondered if he was still sane as he started to develop a crush on the hologram, which was even further complicated by her still fizzling out from time to time. [X-Factor (1st series) #117, 119]
Kyle returned the favor of her friendship by arranging a meeting with Bishop, who could not accept the hologram as his lost sister. To him, she was only a copy of a fading memory. However, when a governmental agency stole the holoprojector for the future data stored inside, Bishop realized that she meant quite a lot to him and he, Wild Child and Storm tried to get Shard back. Somehow, the agency’s probing interacted with the future technology and, though the projector was destroyed, Shard survived and found herself transformed into a photon based lifeform, completely independent from any outside source. [Uncanny X-Men Annual ‘96] Despite this turn of events, she and Kyle remained very close friends but did not progress towards a more intimate relationship.
