Premise
Before the Knights of Rao were introduced to the people of Argo and Kandor by the Blue Lantern Corps, Static, Gear and Catgirl, the last three members recruited by Terra, trained to prove themselves ready to help expose and humiliate tyrants. At the same time, Jaimie Reyes was found by Batman and Black Canary bonded with the fugitive Reach Scarab while Jason Rusch was chosen to become Professor Martin Stein's new partner as Firestorm and, under the two heroes’ mentorship, trained to become the new Blue Beetle following his old mentors and heroes Ted Kord and Ronnie Raymond.

Plot
It starts with Jason Rusch in a S.T.A.R. Labs facility having become Professor Martin Stein's new merging partner as the superhero Firestorm. As Jason practices his new abilities under Batman and Black Canary's instructions, he properly thinks about the things Ronnie Raymond previously accomplished as the first Firestorm before his death while vowing to do what it takes to become just like him... no matter what it will cost him.

Meanwhile, Static, Gear and Catgirl, who joined Terra's team after the end of the gangwar between the Royal Flush Gang and Ebon's crew of Bang Babies, train under the instructions of the King and Queen of the Royal Guard Patrol. Each of the three is trained alongside a partner; Static trains alongside the Emerald, Gear trains alongside Galaxor and Catgirl trains alongside Black Owl.

In Metropolis, Jaimie Reyes is attending to a field trip in Kord Enterprises. He gets separated from the group and sneaks into a lab he is attracted to. Just then, Jaimie finds out a unbelievable secret about who the company's CEO Ted Kord once was: the retired superhero Blue Beetle, who fought against the Reach threat for years alongside Booster Gold. Jaimie vows to keep this secret before leaving the lab. Unknown to him, a mysterious creature sneaks into his schoolbag as he leaves the area.
