After the destructive attack on the Calvin City Historical Society Museum (as portrayed in DC Universe Team-Up #1), Tien Shi elects to help guard his ruined workplace against looters. In order to protect his new “secret identity," he has donned a simple costume and resolves to continue operating under the name Red Phoenix, a nickname the O-Sensei had given him.
The museum contains relics from the city’s superheroic history including items once possessed by the Crime Champions, a group of villains fought by Al Pratt and the JSA after Al had come out of retirement to become The Atom once again. The museum has an early version of the Flying Sundial, a conveyance used by the time-traveling villain Chronos. Red Phoenix wanders through this part of the museum reading about the bizarre details of decades of superhero history.
Small time hoods under orders from the Sazias infiltrate the museum looking for valuable artifacts. After a short fight, they flee from Red Phoenix and try to make their escape aboard the Flying Sundial which is not as decommissioned as everyone thought. The hoods trigger a time-traveling escape device left behind by Chronos, that fractures surrounding spacetime.
Red Phoenix falls as he finds himself in the distant past, when the ground level was different. Something stirs in the dark woods around him.
