Summary

  The Dark Sisterhood is a worldwide network of criminal psychics, and now they hunt Cable, who is on to them. Blaquesmith wants to abandon the safehouse, but the self-destruct system is damaged. He gives Irene a telepathic shield, and they leave through the sewers while Cable faces 20 sisters.

  The Sisterhood break into the building and search for Cable, who attacks them one by one while setting up detonators. Blaquesmith and Irene catch Bonita, who was following them and now asks for sanctuary. She says the Sisterhood began long ago by women with unusual powers who were being executed as witches. Its goal is world-domination. Bonita was a runaway whom they recruited. The Dark Mother pops in long enough to telekinetically stop Bonita's heart, for failing in her mission and turning traitor.

  Aliya reappears to Cable and says, "the Fifth Force." He battles one of the Seven in hand-to-hand, kicks her, and reads her mind. He blows up his safe house and plans war on the Sisterhood.
