Synopsis:

Kyle experiences his first day as Ion, with more power than he'd ever dreamed possible. The creative part of his brain has been unlocked and he is producing so much work that his assistant Terry can barely keep up, and he's able to be in many different places at one. He delivers food to the starving in Africa, he foils bank robbers in England, and he brings peace to the troubled planet of Tendax by ensuring that no weapons there work at all.

Jade is troubled by these changes, but then she realises that the first thing Kyle did with his power was to give himself a hair cut - he's definitely still human. The one thing Kyle doesn't feel able to do is to sleep.
