It's one year after the events of Infinite Crisis, and Firestorm is working with Lexcorp testing a new nuclear device. The test goes awry, and Firestorm saves the day. It's revealed that Martin Stein has gone missing and that Jason now merges with Lorraine Reilly to become Firestorm. While separated, Jason and Lorraine are attacked. Both are taken down and Jason explodes because he and Lorraine must remain within a mile of each other.

After exploding, Jason Rusch reconstitutes himself after Lorraine Reilly gets close to the detonation point. They then merge and head to Washington D.C. and then New York to take care of Lorraine's senate meeting, search Professor Stein's apartment, and take care of Jason's family matters. Killer Frost attacks which Lorraine handles as Firehawk so Jason can talk with his dad. Firehawk is losing, so Jason merges with her to continue the attack as Firestorm, who is then attacked by Mr. Freeze who has been hiding in the shadows.

Mr. Freeze uses Firestorm to help get Killer Frost to the sun, where she proceeds to absorb the sun's heat. Being near the sun causes Firestorm's powers to go slightly haywire, but allows Professor Stein to access the matrix to give Jason advise. Firestorm defeats Killer Frost and returns to Earth where Batman has already defeated Mr. Freeze.
