Or what if IMPULSE is really a bad guy, who was pretending to help Neutron because the Reach couldn't invent a time machine for some reason. Remember, as far as we know, Neutron only sent him back to stop Flash's death, and thought that Impulse would want to return to the future afterwards (remember his warning that it would only work once). Impulse didn't seem worried, so maybe Neutron didn't know about his agenda to stop (as far as we know) Blue Beetle. Maybe Impulse was pissed because silencing the scarab is going to make HIS secret mission to put Blue back on mode (or maybe just get Blue out of the picture by scaring Blue with a fake story about how Blue enslaved humaninty, so that Blue wouldn't want to use his scarab at all. The scarab is the best weapon the JL has against the Reach, so if Blue didn't really get back on mode, he could have caused big problems for the Reach.)
