In Blake's hideout, the Monster's sanctum....

Blake places the cube containing the trapped Scorn-Squidon on the table, turning to grab a couple of things out of the vault, Barbi was in the dressing room to change for her training. Blake was already dressed in a black shirt, pants and bandages wrapped around his hands and bare feet.

Getting the item needed, Blake approaches the center of the sanctum with a bottle of golden yellow powder and a steel bo staff in both hands, waiting for Barbi, who came out of the dressing room wearing a stretchy, long sleeve black leotard and black thigh length leggings.

Blake: Let us begin.

Barbi: Alright, I'm ready.

Blake: For the first step... In order to control the Cheetah's power is to face the Cheetah herself.

Barbi raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Blake: Now I know what you're thinking, how can you fight yourself? You and the Cheetah are one in the same with the curse placed on you, triggered by anger. Well this is where this (holds up the bottle of golden yellow powder) comes in.

Pouring some golden yellow powder in his hand, Blake raises it up and blows the powder in Barbi's face, causing her to cough.

Barbi: (coughing roughly) Hey! What's the meaning of this?!

Then Barbi started to feel... off.

Barbi: What the...? What's going on here? The room's spinning...

Through Barbi's eyes, the room was indeed spinning with the shapes of the area distorting and contorting into bizarre shapes and sizes. Barbi felt like her heart was beating awfully fast with her body on fire, she slowly begins to back away but falls on her butt.

Barbi: (breathing rapidly) W-What.... What did y-you do to me...?!

Blake: (distorted voice) In order to control the Cheetah's power, you must face the Cheetah herself... within your mind and soul, only then you will tame it's power and gain more out of it, she'll be waiting for you on her turf... good luck Barbi...

Barbi was breathing hysterically, her hand on her chest as her heart felt like it was about to explode. She fell flat on her back, twitching for a while before she collapsed and lost consciousness.

At downtown metropolis, Kara was seen stomping through the sidewalk, causing the ground to shake with a silent look of anger on her face with Diana, Jessica, Zee, Babs and Karen running after her to calm her down and talk her out of her pursuit.

Who she was pursuing? Blake. After Babs and Karen told the other girls what they saw during the encounter with Doris, questions were brewing in their minds about new monsters, demonic looking assassins, the cloaked figure and now Blake himself with the wounds healing after the fight against assailants and Doris.

Perhaps their so called new friend wasn't completely honest with them, Zee herself could already tell something wasn't right about Blake, feeling a dark and cold presence in him and Kara had her own suspicions but after what Babs and Karen just told her... Kara immediately put two and two together with Blake and the cloaked figure, she was about to find him and give him a piece of her mind.

Diana caught up with Kara, tackling her into an alleyway with the others in tow. Diana held Kara against the wall as she struggles to get free, the Kryptonian glaring at the Amazon princess.

Diana: Kara, please keep your anger under control!

Jessica: She's right. Let's not jump to conclusions and assume-!
