Water Explosion Experiments (OTA)

Out on a patch a grass, far enough away from the Inn to be safe, but close enough so she wouldn't get any surprises - hopefully - from wildlife that might like her for a snack, Liz had set up an experiment. There were several large containers, some glass, other plastic, all with water inside of them and spaced out from one another. She had a big bag of salt and a small portable stove that she had, with the help of Alec and his strength, enclosed to create more of an oven. She wore gloves, had an apron on, and she had safety goggles on too. She sat near the oven waiting for the salt to melt - the temperature it needed to get to was high.

After some time, she took a long pair of tongs and pulled out a red hot cup. Carefully she walked over to the first basin of water and poured the liquid salt into it. The water exploded and she jumped back a little, then she laughed.

“Uh huh. Try one with frozen peas sometime, then. Bunch’em up around the outside if you don’t wanna adulterate the water or whatever.” If it was for fun, making it explodier would make it more fun.

"There was that time I shot up a lab to see if everybody'd die." It wasn't a joke. "An' one time I tricked Quill into buying some loser's prosthetic leg. But other than that, mostly just bombs."

"Nope! Cookin's not really my thing." He ate whatever was available, mooched Emma's work, and occasionally stole jars of peanut butter. It seemed to work out fine.

“I know how science works, kid. Physics, chemistry, I got skills. Usually there’s a point to this stuff is all.” Rocket’s tail puffed a little bit in annoyance, but that was it.
