   Summary

   It's not everyday that a younger version of your father inadvertently blows up the time machine you and your partner have spent years building together— but hey, Rip Hunter's life is far from typical.

   The next step to rebuilding the Time Sphere on which the multiverse relies upon? Well, that's up to his partner, Jeff, now.

   Set after issues #13-16 of Booster Gold 1986 and before Time Masters 1990.
