2) Um, vague spoilers for JL: Generation Lost. Haven't been paying attention to the current Booster Gold arc, so probably not compliant with that. Nobody cares about this but me:
They throw a we-won-and-no-one-died-(not-even-Max) party, after. The Reyes offer up their backyard and there's food and drink and shocky laughter everywhere. Booster lays claim to a swing on the swing-set and watches Jaime with his friends, trying to ignore the ache in his chest. He doesn't hear Traci 13 until she's standing next to him, holding out a can of ginger ale. They've never formally met, but Jaime talks about her all the time and she doesn't seem the type to go around poisoning strangers, so he takes it with a smile and a thank you.
"I've been meaning to talk to you," she says. "You were Ted Kord's closest friend, right? And you've been trying to bring him back. If you're serious about it - really serious - there are some people I think you should meet." She smiles down at him and, for a second, she doesn't look anywhere near seventeen.
And that's how Booster meets Detective Chimp and Doctor Fate and John Constantine and finally Death herself, who gives him three tasks to complete in exchange for the chance of getting Ted back. That's about the point Jaime and the other nu!JLI-ers (+ Guy) catch up with him (Traci totally snitched) and insist on assisting, you don't need to do this alone, he was our friend too.
So they blow through the tasks - where Booster proves he is steadfast, brave of heart, and utterly, irrevocably in love - and end up at a plain wooden door floating in Death's realm. It opens under Booster's touch and they catch a glimpse of a messy living room and a TV showing their surprised faces before Booster's yanked inside.

"Took you long enough," Ted says, and kisses him.
