(Because NOBODY brings this up.)
Danny, digging in his pockets and backpack, looking for money, food, scraps of tech, a thermos, ect.
D: oh, a nasty sauce packet. Now if I can get another burger I can make a nasty burger. Hell yeah!?
Condiment King, running by and grabbing a weird sauce he's never seen from a kid. : oh a new condiment to add to my arsenal.
Danny with his gun drawn: give back the nasty sauce and nobody gets hurt.
Ck: oh, and what's that going to do, give me a sun burn.
Danny, deadpanned, twist the flash light to focus it into a pinprick: I'll shoot it, and then we will both be disappointed.
Meanwhile. (SpongeBob SquarePants narrator voice)
Barbara, watching this going down: what is nasty sauce, and why is shooting it a threat?
Looks up nasty sauce, sees 👀 the VERY BIG warning of explosion yeld is per oz if hot enough. Somewhere inthe 1000+*. (Simular to a pound of C4) and a slogan "the taste comes from the explosive potential! 😁"
Barbara: Jason hurry the fuck up. Your kid has explosive sauce, and Condiment King is holding it.
Jason: what sauce is explosive?!
Barbara: that doesn't matter! Hurry up before .... WAIT KID NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Ck: you will not and I will have more weapons for my condiment arsenal.
Danny: "if I can't have a nasty burger, you can't have the sauce."
Condiment King ony gets to say "I'm sorry a nasty WHAT?" Before the kid before him shoots the packet.
Mitchell Mayo is a lot of things. Thief, villian, obsessed with condiments and, more importantly (for this situation), an expert in weaponizing condiments. So, when he heard this kid say "nasty burger", 3 very urgent red alrams started to going off in his head. The first one was basically "RUN YOU ABSOLUTE MORON!!!!", which makes sense. Because the other two come from the boxes of "sauces I want see/eat" and "sauces I NEVER want be near".
From the box, "archive of cool sauce facts" comes the file of "nasty sauce". Basic facts are:
1) It's illegal to have, own, or collect more than 1/16th of an oz. And considering the now glowing packet in his hands is about 2 ish oz of it. He should be very happy to be arrested instead of what's about to happen.
2) the original recipe was lost, on purpose, to a fire, the ashes pressed into a diamond, and lost again into a volcano. In 1999, so that one of the most dangerous sauces could never be made again. Production was stopped earlier that year, and all pieces of equipment used in the creation of the sauce was committed to the same volcano.
3) the last know packet was eaten in 2005 by a sauce collector, who promptly had a heart attack, saying it was "so good." Sadly, he was cremated in death, and blew up the crematory and the building it was in. Luckily, the fire minder was not in the building at the time.
4) all of this because the sauce has a better explosive yeld than most explosives at its time. Even today it would be better than most.
5) it only needs to get to about 1018* F to explode, and the packet glowing cherry red is definitely quickly approaching that temp..
Danny: "You should run." While also 🏃♀️.
Condiment King's next 2 milliseconds consist of:
Seeing the sauce packet start to glow cherry red. Dropping the packet as it starts to expand. Seeing the explosion warning on the back. Sees the packet explode. Gets thrown from his spot. And blacks out.
The next time Mayo opens his eyes, he sees an upside-down Red Hood, Nightwing, and Batman, staring at him. He is also suck to a wall with, what he can only assume is a mix of all of his condiments, flash fried, and crystallized, into a cement/super glue like mix. Wait a minute, they're standing on a road. And why is there a crater into park? Oh, right. Nasty sauce explosion.
The older Bats are staring at Condiment King, suck about three floors up, upside-down, missing most of his hair, a really bad sunburn, covered in ash, and in a weird pose.
NW: is that the family guy dead body pose?
RH: that's what it looks like from the front?
RH: Don't just hum, that's weird.
NW: definitely not what I would have thought.
RH: Want to watch, (side eye bruce) study the video feed?
