[Instead of showing Kevin, the screen reveals a paper mache volcano. But, while most model volcanoes use baking soda and vinegar, this one appears to be actually smoking.]

Superboy, Dean, check this out!

[The smoke erupted into actual flame, blowing the carefully constructed cover off. The flames make the model look surprisingly real.]

[The kid looks up at the question and blinks.]

I'm making it erupt. I just wish I could make lava to go with it.

[yeahscience]

Can you maybe not burn the place down? [He gets up, reaching for the leftover water from the paper mache.]

[fire_punk]

It won't. I won't let it. [As if to prove his point, the flames start dying down.]

[yeahscience]

[Christ, you kids and your super powers. He eyes the fire cautiously, sets the water back down, although he's keeping the bowl at hand.]

...Okay. Cool.

[fire_punk]

Is there anything that could make it look like lava, too?

[yeahscience]

Well... yeah, that's how you usually do it. Baking soda and vinegar makes it explode. Not, like, pyromania.

[fire_punk]

But they just fizzed. They didn't explode. I want it to do both.

[yeahscience]

Lava don't explode, yo. It runs down the sides.

[fire_punk]

No, lava doesn't. But volcanoes do. And it's coolest with both.
