Following the defeat of the alien alliance, the Atom is invited to New York by the Justice League. Both the Martian Manhunter and Batman try to recruit Ray for the new League. He declines the offer. He then assists police in calming a riot on the New York City streets.

The Atom then returns to Ivy Town where Professor Hyatt and Enrica Negrini throw a party in Ray's honor. At the party, Ray sees Jean Loring which brings back old feelings. When the two meet in the kitchen, they share a moment of grief over the death of Laethwen. Jean's new husband Paul Hoben sees them embrace.
