Disclaimer: I don't own anything. This is just a story for fun.
At Growth Industries, the CEO, Ma Bagge was putting a couple of aspirins in a glass before she poured some water in it to dissolve the medicine. She pulled out a spoon and swirled the medicine around as she looked at two nervous scientists sitting in front of her desk.
"Alright so tell me exactly what was stolen from our weapons vault and how much trouble we could be in." Said Ma Bagge.
"We'll all that was stolen was a couple of bottles of Hair Growth Formula." Said one scientist.
"Ok that doesn't sound too bad. Does the formula actually grow hair?" Said Ma Bagge.
"It does, but there are some dangerous side affects from using it." Said the second scientist.
"What kind of side affects?" Asked Ma Bagge.
The first scientist pulled out a remote and pointed it at a tv on the wall. The tv came on displaying footage of a bald man putting a few drops of the Hair Growth Formula on his head. The man was then told by someone off screen to go wash and dry his hands. The test subject walked over to a nearby sink and a paper towel dispenser to wash and dry his hands. He washed his hands, but there was only a tiny paper towel from the dispenser that did very little to dry his wet hands. The man began to look very annoyed at the paper towel dispenser and then his eyes began to bulge and turn red, as his skin turned red, and his veins bulged and became visible. The paper towel dispenser began to shake violently along with the room and then their was a loud explosion that covered the area in smoke and dust. When the dust cleared the paper towel dispenser was gone along with the sink and the wall. The man was back to normal and he stared at the destruction he caused in shock. The footage ended.
"What the heck was that?!" Asked Ma Bagge in shock.
"Apparently the Hair Growth Formula gives the user the ability to create explosions with their mind, whenever they experience negative emotions like anger." Said the first scientist.
"So the user has a hair trigger power." Said Ma Bagge.
"Correct. The power is dangerous to everyone including the user. One test subject apparently had a lot of anger towards themselves and ended up blowing themselves up." Said the second scientist.
The first scientist pushed a button on the remote and a different bald guy appeared on the tv. This man seemed particularly mad about something as he just sat in a chair and the mad transformation took over.
"I hate myself!" Roared the man before he exploded leaving nothing behind but a crater and some scorch marks.
"Yikes! I don't think we could even convince the military to buy that stuff." Said Ma Bagge.
"On the plus side it does give the user hairs and once the user stops using the formula it leaves their body soon after." Said the second scientist as he handed Ma Bagge a picture of the bald guy from the first video with a full head of beautiful long hair.
"We're getting close of making the formula safe and we're also making it so a person could use the explosive powers at will." Said the first scientist.
"The robbers took a prototype of the formula we were working on. It would give the users some control of the explosive power, but it's still highly dangerous." Said the second scientist.
"Alright then, send a call to our military contacts telling them to be on the lookout for any unusual explosions. Have our security teams on standby and ready to strike." Said Ma Bagge drinking the water with the medicine.
"Yes ma'am!" Said the two scientists as they quickly left the office.
