Synopsis for "Payment on Demand"
After saving him covertly from a knife-wielding thug employed by a gangster named Sal, Linda Danvers discovers that Greg Gilbert owes Sal $30,000 in gambling debts. Later, Blackrock cuts a deal with Gilbert to get him into the Galaxy Broadcasting Company building in return for taking care of Sal. Since that sounds like murder to Gilbert, he gets in touch with Lena Thorul, who has been having strange headaches lately, and Lena gets in touch with Supergirl, who has already had an encounter with the new Blackrock. Supergirl tracks Blackrock down when the villain attacks Sal's casino, but is beaten in a fight with him and rendered unconscious. At the same moment, Val Colby and his grandmother enter Lena's apartment and find Lena also unconscious, sprawled on the floor.
