[Yuri has fully recovered his memory of the use of his powers, but there's something off, unsettling him, though he can't say what it is. He has only remembered small things lately, brief glimpses from his childhood: his parents' faces, a trip to the seashore, playing on the lawn outside the house, winning an essay competition at school.

None of these things are what has made him restless. He feels as if he's being pulled by an invisible force, like the ocean when the tide comes in.

That's why, tonight, for the first time, he's used his fire power to fly into the city. He is dressed rather differently than he usually is, his face fully covered by the mask he wears. One might see him flying, very quickly, propelled by bursts of blue fire.

At last, he comes to rest on the roof of one of the taller buildings and stands looking out over the city, wondering why he felt compelled to come here. The moon is waxing, and its light is bright.

You need not give me any name.

[He holds out a hand and fire blooms there suddenly, although it stays there, above his palm. He regards it thoughtfully, as if it might bring back his memories.]

I am... Justice.

[For a long moment, Keith seems mesmerized by the fire.]
Justice--

who do you give justice to?

To the unjust, who else?

[The fire burns without stopping. It will never cease, unless he wills it.]

Yes-- but how?
[The the flames bend and flow, like underwater plants caught in a current. The sound they make is like the steady rush of wind past his face when he's in flight. They are like-- so many things, some he can't recall.]

[Suddenly, the fire goes out. Yuri doesn't really know the answer to that question. He doesn't remember. It's as a judge that he does such things normally.

So what does he do with the fire?]

I stop those who need to be stopped. I protect those who need protection.
