While running for their lives from the remains of Clem Hootkins' gang, Booster Gold and Jonah Hex are forced to pilot their speeding cart toward a cliff while Hex uses a machine gun in the back to ward off their pursuers, much to Booster's distress. Unfortunately, Booster is not the best horse-driver, and in his confusion, sends the whole cart over the edge. Angrily, Hex launches himself at Booster, blaming him for their impending demise. Strangely, though, they are no longer plummeting toward the ground, but through time and space. Booster realizes this and warns Hex to keep holding onto him. Rather than cling to the agent of his dismay, Hex releases his grip, and curses Booster's name before making impact. Jonah wakes up at a train station, and is greeted by a number of strangely garbed individuals. After getting his bearings, he realizes with horror that he is no longer where or when he thought he was. Once again, he is in Gotham City, but this is not the Gotham he knew. This is that Gotham's future. The sound of screams draws Jonah's attention, and he seeks out its source, finding a family under attack by a gang of Mutants. He intervenes, and when the gang turns on him, he unloads his pistol into their heads. Before he can get the rescued family to answer any of his questions, though, he accosted by the Gotham City Police Department. The officers feel threatened by him, and his ignorance regarding the end of racial segregation does not endear him to them. However, he manages to fight them off, only to be attacked again by Batwing. During their fight, Jonah mentions Amadeus Arkham, and Batwing mistakes him for an escaped mental patient, knocking the bounty hunter unconscious. Jonah wakes in a padded cell, disturbed to discover that he has been labelled a lunatic.
