The little tubes of brightly colored liquids are set up orderly across the table. It seems everything is perfect. There are charts laid out behind the table with equations and a lot of side notes. Also a few self-deprecating messages written with the side notes help to keep Dr. Horrible in the right frame of mind.

The Doctor is standing before the table, flipping through pages in a book with one hand while the other holds a vial of cotton-candy-blue liquid. When his hand jerks, it fizzes like soda pop. He doesn't seem to notice or care so perhaps it is supposed to do that. He flips a few more pages and must have found what he is looking for. His face brightens up and he straightens his back. The smile that plays across his face makes him look younger.

He pushes the book up further on the table and grabs a second vial, one with apple green liquid. He slowly, carefully pours the blue liquid into the vial of the green liquid. The mixture is starting to fizz, it starts to bubble out of the tube and Dr. Horrible pulls them apart, watches carefully as they mix and react with one another.

The liquids in the mixed vial are slowing in their bubbly-fizzy process and Dr. Horrible is calming down. He sets the blue one back into the holder and holds the green-blue one up to his eyes, staring at it like he can see molecules or particles mixing and reacting with one another.

His brows furrow and he pulls the vial back a little. He passes the vial from that hand to the other and stares continually at the mixing reaction. His fingers feel warm as they grasp the little vial. "That can't be right…" he mutters and looks over at the book, skimming the pages looking for an answer to the heat he is suddenly feeling pouring off of the vial. There is nothing there to explain it, not that he can see. He eases the vial towards the board away from the other vials, wanting it out of his hands if this wasn't going to end well.

Before the vial touches the wood board a loud explosion and flash of green-blue light goes off. Doctor Horrible stands there, before it as the smoke starts to diminish. His eyebrows and tips of his hair are tinged in fire-streaks. He is coughing smoke from his lungs. His lab coat is a mess. "Damn it, I just washed this…"

A knock at the door is left unanswered mostly because it opens before Dr. Horrible can say one way or another about it. In waltzes Dead Bowie looking at the table before the Doctor and he laughs. "Oops, what did you boom?"
