A/N: Written for .com Challenge #873 "Combust"
Ace laid her materials on the counter, carefully put on goggles and a pair of gloves, and mixed her liquid ingredients. She electrified them for five minutes then stirred in powder. Then she waited. When the mixture had turned creamy and had gotten hard to stir, Ace carefully scooped out some of the compound and put it in a bottle. Then she got a metal container and put scrap paper and the bottle in it. She tossed in a lit match and ran. Bang! The bottle and paper had combusted. Ace smilied. She'd just made another successful batch of Nitro-9.
