[ooc: Annnnnd now I'm just gonna BS, because apparently handmade explosives can just go off by themselves from time to time.]
Heero crouched besides the boxes and began intently looking them over, studying the make and whether any immediately appeared similar to the ones he preferred to use. The second to last box seemed the most promising, and he carefully pushed the others away to sit down by it. He picked the safest looking one up and scrutinized it, testing how it felt in his hand.
"I like this one," he said to Mello, holding it up where the other could see before putting it back in the box. "Do you have any more like it?" He absently checked in the box again, and it was then that he noticed something blinking.
The smallest explosive in the box was blinking. Heero inhaled sharply before grabbing for the largest bombs, hauling them out and putting them on the floor. He could hear Mello asking what was wrong, and ignored him as the blinking started to increase, setting the last of the large bombs aside and grabbing the small one. He ran to the farthest wall in the store and frantically tried to find a kill switch, dimly aware that there was no way he could figure out Mello's system in time.
It began beeping rapidly, and Heero took that as his cue to drop the thing and throw himself as far away as he could, throwing his arms up in front of his face.
There was a loud boom, and as Heero heard the wall going down he tensed, bracing himself.
