After helping Rip Hunter save the multiverse at the end of 52, Booster Gold sets out to regain his standing as a hero and defeats the Royal Flush Gang as the Justice League arrive. They think he is merely grandstanding but, due to the help he gave Batman during Infinite Crisis, he is given a week's opportunity to prove himself before the League will tell him if they'll admit him. A week later, Booster is staying with his ancestor, Daniel, who still wears the Supernova costume he donned at the end of 52. He has not been out of the house since that event, though. They are interrupted by the arrival of Rip Hunter who enlists Booster's help in repairing temporal anomalies, leaving Daniel behind. He is attacked by a mysterious figure who steals the Supernova costume.Booster and Rip travel back in time to World War III and save a plane damaged by Black Adam before Booster meets Rose Levin, the woman destined - with Daniel - to start the line that ends with Booster.Arriving for his appointment with the League, he is stunned to be given membership but his certificate becomes the death notice of Green Lantern before his eyes. Realising that Rip Hunter was right and that he has to help him, Booster turns down the League membership, claiming it was all a ploy to allow him to grandstand, though Batman does not believe him.As Booster joins Rip and agrees to work with him for a price - that of saving Blue Beetle from Maxwell Lord - the mysterious stranger, now wearing the Supernova costume, goes back in time to meet Sinestro when he was still a Green Lantern.
