Lessons Of A Pyromaniac

Chapter 1-Chemistry

Pyro sat in his chemistry bored out of his skull. Hank McCoy (a.k.a. Beast duh!) was at the front of the class droning on about catalysts. As Beast mentioned they were going to do a practical, Pyro's head shot up. When he heard it was going to involve a Bunsen burner, he became even more interested.

Beast set out manganese oxide and hydrogen peroxide at the front of the class and wrote up the method on the board. He lit a Bunsen burner at the front at let the class get on with it.

Pyro got out the necessary equipment. The practical required a Bunsen burner so…he chuckled evilly. He was so bored of being the good little boy and decided to have some fun.

He rigged up his Bunsen burner to the gas taps and took some of Bobby and Rogue's flame. That earned him a glare from the both of them. At that moment their Bunsen burner went crazy. Its flame shot up and made Bobby's sport top catch fire.

Pyro smirked and looked away trying not to laugh as Bobby didn't notice. He saw out of the corner of his eye that Rogue had and had begun to panic. She tried hitting the flame to put it out but Pyro made it keep burning. Bobby swore violently and ran over to the sink. He quickly doused hos arm in water.

Hank went over to Bobbu and inspected his arm. By this point, Pyro was dieing to laugh.

Pyro turned his attention back to the practical but he could feel the class' eyes were on him. He looked up at everyone staring at him.

"What?" he said." What are you looking at me for?"

"John is this you're doing?" Beast asked seriously.

"Hey, I'm innocent!"

"Pyro, if you're innocent, then ah'm the Queen of Sheba!" Rogue snarled.

Pyro shot her a glare and then said, "Hi, your Majesty." Pyro bowed and smirked at Rogue. Hank was trying to calm Bobby down so Pyro thought that it provided an excellent opportunity for even more fun.

Pyro placed the manganese oxide in with the hydrogen peroxide and quickly plugged the top. A grin was plastered to his face as he looked round to make sure no one was looking, and then he put the test tube into the flame. Beast had deliberately told everyone not to do this so it made him want to do it even more. He used his power to make sure the flames completely engulfed the tube. After that, he quickly dived under the desk.

The explosion was massive. Shards of glass went everywhere and people ducked to get out of the way. The bung that plugged the tube flew out from the flames and hit Bobby in between the eyes, making him fall to the floor.

Pyro was shaking from trying not to laugh as he saw what happened to Bobby. He emerged from under the table to see all the class shaking.

"That was funny," he mumbled.

Hank McCoy got up from the floor and his eyes went straight to Pyro.

"John what did you do?"

"What?" Pyro said innocently.
