After an encounter with the Black Beetle at Vanishing Point, Rip decides that Booster needs to do a better job of covering his tracks. He sends Booster to the Batcave to retrieve the file on Booster kept by the Batman, the only person who knows that Booster protects the timeline. But there, Booster encounters the new Batman, Dick Grayson. While Booster tries to explain the situation to Grayson, the Black Beetle appears. Deciding he would rather there not be a Batman, the Black Beetle leaves, and suddenly Grayson is gone and a second memorial Robin costume is on display in the Batcave.

Booster Gold; Skeets; Rip Hunter; Ravager [Grant Wilson]; Black Beetle; Batman; Batgirl; Justice League of America [Hawkman; Wonder Woman; Superman; Atom [Ray Palmer]; Flash [Barry Allen]; Green Lantern [Sinestro]]; Blue Beetle [Ted Kord]; New Teen Titans [Cyborg [Victor Stone]; Starfire [Koriand'r]; Robin [Dick Grayson]; Changeling [Gar Logan]; Wonder Girl [Donna Troy]; Kid Flash [Wally West]]; Silas Stone; Deathstroke the Terminator
Booster heads to the past, soon after the New Teen Titans formed, to prevent Ravager and Deathstroke from killing Dick Grayson, while Rip Hunter heads to Vanishing Point to get information about Black Beetle. Back in the past, Booster and the Titans face not only Ravager and Deathstroke, but Black Beetle, and Booster seemingly fails in his mission at the cost of his own life.

Booster Gold; Skeets; Rip Hunter; Black Beetle; Trigon; New Teen Titans [Changeling; Starfire [Koriand'r]; Kid Flash [Wally West]; Robin [Dick Grayson]; Wonder Girl [Donna Troy]; Cyborg [Vic Stone]; Raven]; Justice League of America [Superman; Green Lantern; Aquaman; Hawkman; Black Lightning; Flash; Wonder Woman]; Lex Luthor; Zatanna; Kyle Rayner
Raven arrives at Steve Dayton's mansion to find all of the Teen Titans dead. As Booster explains the situation, Rip arrives, and the three, along with Skeets, travel to 2020 where the death of the Titans led to Trigon destroying the JLA and conquering the Earth. The heroes encounter Zatanna and Kyle Rayner (who in this timeline never became a Green Lantern) who lead an underground movement against Trigon. But the time travelers' presence has been detected, so Booster allows himself to be taken away by Trigon's sentries to protect the underground, and is dropped at the feet of Trigon himself.
