Synopsis:

Huntress and Vixen find themselves up against a number of super-heroes and villains under the control of cult leader Sovereign Brusaw, and must fight them without injuring them too badly, and all before the children of the cult commit mass suicide. Meanwhile, Oracle is battling Brainiac inside her mind, and is given valuable assistance by Black Canary, who is able to remind her of the people and things important to her, emotional things which Brainiac does not understand. Both victories are won, but at a cost. The meta-humans can not be snapped out of their current state yet, and Oracle is left with a physical reminder of her battle with Brainiac, a cybernetic scar which appears to be growing.
