Overview
"Blue and Gold" part 3! Booster and Beetle come face-to-face with the all-new, all-different Freedom Fighters as time continues to crash down around them. Can a makeshift super-team really stop Maxwell Lord and his O.M.A.C.s? Plus, the continuing evil machinations of Supernova and Black Beetle!
Plot Summary
• Booster and Beetle are taken to the base of the Freedom Fighters, led by Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) and Hawkman (Carter Hall). However, their hopes of a A-list team up are dashed upon discovering the rest of the team consists of Pantha, Wild Dog and Anthro.• Meanwhile, Max tries to use his mind powers to force Superman to kill a captive Wildcat. But the one thing Max can't force Kal-El to do is kill. At least, not yet...
• In the time stream Rip and Skeets, along with former Supernova Daniel Carter and reporter Rose Levin (who are destined to be the ancestors of Michael), are trying to follow the chronal trail left by the Black Beetle. And it's leading them to the end of time...
• At Vanishing Point, the end of time, Black Beetle, Despero and Per Degaton decide to ignore Rip, as their true enemy appears to be Booster Gold himself. To that end, Supernova and Ultra-Humanite have traveled to Rip's time lab and proceed to destroy his last Time Sphere.
• The Freedom Fighters decide to confront Max head on, using Beetle's O.M.A.C.-invisible Bug to fly to Switzerland. Their plans (and the Bug) take a hit though, when Superman smashes through the ship and flies away with Anthro. The rest of the team manages to make it to Max's castle.
• The remaining Freedom Fighters try the stealth approach, taking out several Checkmate guards and Sasha Bordeaux, who in this time is still Max's subordinate.
• One by one the remaining Fighters fall. Green Arrow is infected with the nano-virus, turns into an O.M.A.C, and immediately vaporizes Hawkman. Pantha is gunned down by Wild Dog's friendly fire, who's then forced to shoot himself by Max.Booster and Blue Beetle use a mother box to escape the castle and realize the only way to beat Max and Superman is to reform the Justice League Internatial.

Volume Description
Booster Gold (Volume 2)
Starring: Booster Gold, Skeets, and Rip Hunter.
Second Feature: Blue Beetle (#21-25, 28-29).
Spinning off of 52, Booster Gold's second series opens with Booster trying to join the Justice League of America. Most of the members mock him as he makes his pleas. Batman cites Booster's help with Brother Eye as a reason he should be given a chance and says if he can go a week without publicity stunts, grandstanding, or press conferences that Booster would be inducted as a member. Rip Hunter shows up at Booster's ancestor Daniel Carter's house and tries to recruit Booster and task him with "fixing time" by closing temporal anomalies. But Booster's accomplishments must remain a secret to everyone for if anyone knew they could easily kill him in his crib. So Booster Gold must become The Greatest Hero The World Has Never Known! Rip upgrades Booster's and Skeets' tech and then takes them on a jaunt through time. Once they complete the mission, Booster asks Rip to just drop him off where he picked them up and goes to the Hall of Justice. Superman and the rest of the League hand him a certificate that soon becomes a death certificate for Green Lantern. He lies to the League saying he just wanted an opportunity to turn them down. Booster finds Rip at his time lab and tells him that he's in under one condition: They have to save his best friend, Ted Kord.
After that Rip takes Booster on a series of anomaly fixing, but when he won't help him save Ted a future Blue Beetle shows up along with Dan Garret and Jaime Reyes whom he had recruited. Booster and the Beetles leave to save Ted while Rip and a wounded Skeets stay behind. Once Ted is rescued he talks with Dan and Jaime. Jaime is thrilled to meet him and has so many questions, but the future Blue Beetle says that for Ted to live no one must know that he is alive and that he would have to erase Dan and Jaime's memory of the past 48 hours. With everyone back in their respective time, Ted and Booster head off for more exciting adventures.
