Synopsis:

Terry Berg is still in a coma, and his situation has attracted considerable media attention. Kyle is devastated by the situation, and asks the Flash to take a trip back in time to rectify the situation for him - Flash refuses, and Batman agrees with him, pointing out that Kyle has been acting somewhat violently already. After leaving the JLA watchtower to destroy a few asteroids, Kyle is contacted by the Spectre, who is well aware of the dangers of playing god. He returns Kyle to the hospital, where he learns that Terry has woken up. He is delighted, but is somewhat soured by the experience, and goes off with Jade to explore other worlds and do some good there for a while, leaving John Stewart to fill in for him while he is away.
