Helena was informed that the man responsible for her father's death was none other than Solid Snake, the mercenary allegedly responsible for sinking the tanker. In her search for vengeance, she joined the armed forces and found out that she is impervious to bullets. Because of this mysterious power, she was deemed Lady Luck by her comrades. She was quickly assigned to her husband's former unit, Dead Cell, and was welcomed with open arms by the team, especially Vamp, who was rumored to be her father's former bisexual lover. She was assigned the codename of Fortune and quickly gained leader status.

Fortune was one of the Dead Cell members who survived its liquidation, and six months later, on April 29, 2009, Dead Cell was involved in the Big Shell . Dead Cell confronted alleged FOXHOUND member Raiden a few times, before confronting Snake personally within Arsenal Gear. Instead of killing Snake, Fortune took him prisoner and delivered him to Solidus Snake, leader of the Sons of Liberty (the terrorist group that seized the Big Shell). Shortly after, Revolver Ocelot revealed that the Big Shell takover was nothing more than a simulated version of the Shadow Moses incident and that Fortune's role in it was not coincidential. The deaths of her family members were planned by The Patriots and her invulnerability to bullets was simply the result of an electro-magnetic force field which surrounded her body; Ocelot confirmed the latter revelation by shooting Fortune in her chest. However, Ocelot missed her heart (as Fortune was born with dextrocardia) and the fatally-wounded Fortune stood up against him. When Ocelot launched missiles directed at her and the others with Metal Gear RAY, she managed to deflect them telepathically, implying that her powers and luck in the battlefield might not have been entirely due to the Patriots after all. Fortune died from her gunshot wound shortly afterwards.
