That doesn't happen to Blackfire's hair because she has to use a machine to fly.
Hurts, doesn't it?!
Burns, doesn't it?!

Her bad behavior is therefore probably due to deep seated hairfire insecurity issues.

Immediately I shift position, moving behind her, pressing myself against her back and placing my arms under hers. I can't see her, but I can feel her both by the pressure on my skin and by my awareness of the orange light. She doesn't appear to be changing herself in the way I did when I first got hold of the ring. Better self image I suppose. Internally… She looks more or less the same, though the orange light pouring through her is reinforcing her desire structures.
I feel her grab onto my wrists as the lights begin to fade away. She hasn't changed her body but -pfff!- her hair is back to its puffed-up Cheshire mode. The green of her coat has been replaced with dull orange, decorative stitching glowing bright orange to match the sigil in the centre of her chest. Her face is covered in a glowing construct mask.
"H-aaah."
"How do you feel, Lantern Nguyen?"
Still holding onto my wrists, she pulls her arms into her stomach. "Strange. I... No, that's not important. You gave me this ring to do a job. How do I do it?"
"To complete the task, you need precise information on the physical state of those beneath us. Don't try taking it all at once, that will just overwhelm you. Pick a single individual-"
"Uncle Hien."
"-and have the ring show you his body in detail. You don't need to focus on every individual change you need to make, the ring can handle that far better than you can. Focus instead on the objective you wish to achieve. The ring knows what a fully healthy-."
The orange light around Jade flares and a tight bundle of orange cables extrudes rapidly downwards, shooting towards the hospital. I.. suppose that.. would be a bit more instinctive than the filament and orange light pulses I use.
"Do you have a clear idea of what you're doing?"
She pushes gently back into me, leaning a little to the left and turning her head right so she can look me in the face. "Is it like this for you all the time?"
"I imagine in my case it's rather stronger. Can you create a construct to show me what's happening?"
"Can't you see for yourself?"
"I can do lots of things. I want to see what you can do."
An image of Mister Nguyen's room appears in front of us as the cables shoot through the open windows and latch onto him. He struggles for a moment and then a cable attaches itself to his forehead. "Sleep." He relaxes. "I can see everything wrong. It's…"
"Then you know what you have to do, don't you?"
"Skin." The image shows his skin smoothing, though the effect is probably more obvious in colour. "Arms." Bone, muscle, fat and skin flow out of the unfinished end of his right arm, creating a forearm and a hand. Both arms swell as more muscle tissue is added to them and I'm sure other minor defects are being corrected as well. "Legs." The legs are as thin as the arms, joints malformed in a way that makes me wince to examine it. They swell with new muscle and straighten out as Jade fixes them. "Head." His features shift as she goes to complete-. "His brain. Parts just.. aren't there. How-?"
"Don't worry about it. When I healed Mister Huang in Taiwan I didn't have a prior scan of his brain to work from. Add the bits that are missing, the ring can work out what they should look like from his DNA."
"You improved his brain."
"If you don't know exactly what it should look like, why not make it as good as it can be?"
"Then Uncle Hien gets the best brain." He's still unconscious as the cables deposit him back on his chair. "That wasn't so hard."
"You haven't finished the assignment yet, have you?"
"No, I haven't." The image explodes, the light reforming as a three dimensional model of the hospital. I see the cables extend out through the doors of her uncle's room and spread out up and down the corridor. Staff dive out of the way and the cables begin branching and pushing their way into the rooms of the other patients. "Fixed." A girl child with a head that looks like someone squeezed and then twisted it. "Fixed." A youth with no eyes or eye sockets seeing for the first time. "Fixed." Cancerous growths to match any Argonate user, gone. "Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. Fixed. Fixedfixedfixedfixedfixed…"
I have the other ring check her work. Aside from the slightly odd way her orange light is pulsing, she's doing a great job. Clearly she's got a much better sense of professionalism than I have.
"…fixedfixedfixedfixedfixed…"
Shame I can't compare this to Richard's situation. I just didn't have the same awareness back then.
"Aaaaagh!"
I glance down to see several members of staff fleeing the building. Didn't want to get their hopes up by warning them, though I did notify someone from the Central Commission of Internal Affairs that I intended to operate in the area. They appeared to still be pretty grateful for all the construction work I did last time so I don't think this will be a problem.
"Fixedfixed… All done." Jade closes her left fist, deleting the cables and the image of the hospital. She's glowing quite brightly. "I want more! What'snext!"
Ah yes, the old crazy/power balancing act. I haven't lost control of the situation yet and this situation does require more power… "Next, is the soil. We need all the residual herbicide gone in order to prevent another generation of cripples being born. Can you do that for me?"
Her grip on my hands tightens. "Yes."
Orange shifts inside her as conflicting desire strains are discontinued-. That actually might be a bad idea. Hm. The glow around us intensifies as the ring feeds her data on the magnitude of the task. One hundred and twenty eight thousand square miles. Goodness knows how many tonnes of the stuff. If I was properly invested, I could probably do it but I've got no idea what the peak output of a rookie Orange Lantern is.
"Hrwaaaagh!"
A translucent orange column blasts downwards, passing through solid objects to get at the ground. I keep watching as the energy radiates out across the province and further, out across the country. Marvelo-. Oh dear, Jade's breathing hard and the activity in her brain-.
"Jade, you've done a good job. You can stop now."
"I'm nearly..! Nearly there!"
No, this is getting to the point where she risks harming herself. I extend my own aura into her and press against the orange strands.
Still.
The blazing orange light dims and disintegrates. She gasps for air, mask construct disintegrating as her grip on my hands loosens. I pull my arms free and drift around to her front. "How was it?"
She bends over slightly in the air, still breathing hard. "That was… I-. I wanted…"
"Yes." I generate constructs, showing before and after images of the people she just healed. "You did a very good job." She straightens up slightly, looking at the images. I hold out my right hand. "Will you please return that ring to-?"
She pulls it off her finger and tosses it back before I can finish asking, and I attach a filament to her before she can plummet to the ground. "I-. That was… Overwhelming. I don't think I'm ready for that."
"I wasn't expecting you to be." I return it to my right forefinger. "But if you do decide to take the training, that's what you'd be letting yourself in for. Now: time for you to take the credit."

That was fun! I touch D/s-y, but that could be my shipping goggles talking.

Imagine how much self discipline it must take to let go of that kind of power, especially considering that the ring is powered by avarice of all things.
Also, I find the idea of her taking off the ring while still unsupported in mid air to be very amusing for some reason.

Thank you, corrected.
No, that's how we say it.
Four sections for this episode, six for the next one. And no, it isn't just going to be four more sections.
