The scene opens with the chemists, Alex and Chris, meeting for the first time in their private lab. They exchange nervous glances as their hazmat suits hiss and clank, and the thick scent of chemicals fills the air. As they begin mixing volatile compounds, excitement builds between them.
Chris, the more assertive of the two, turns to Alex and suggestively bites his gloved finger. The gesture sends a jolt of electricity through both of them. Alex uncharacteristically loses control, grabbing a beaker of liquid nitrogen and holding it dangerously close to Chris's exposed skin.
"Are you really willing to risk this?" Alex asks, a mix of fear and arousal in his voice.
"Absolutely," Chris responds, mirroring Alex's aggression. He grabs another beaker and slams it down onto the lab table, causing a loud crash that echoes through the room.
