Chris came in from the outside's harsh November air, wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt. Miss K came running towards him in a frantic.

"Chris it's November, you need to bundle up," she scolded him.

"Miss K, I'm okay, we live in Alabama, it doesn't even..." he retaliated. "I'm... I'm... AH-CHOO!" he sneezed loudly but then his body erupted into flames that died down.

Miss K stared him down, "Chris you caught a cold. It must be messing with your powers."

He waved her off, "Ah Miss K, I'm fine."

"Go to your room before everyone else catches it and you mess up their powers."

"What did you say Miss K?" Jack asked walking into the room followed by everyone else.

"Chris caught a cold. Now every time he sneezes, some element will erupt somewhere near him," Miss K explained. "If y'all get near him you're most likely to catch something, so stay away."

"Miss K, you gotta stop worrying I haven't gotten sick in... in... AH-CHOO!" Violet sneezed, and then turned into a baby.

"Oh crap," Miss K slapped her head.

"I'll go put Violet up in her room," Rebecca said scooping her up, "Then we can all sort this out- oh no... I'm... sneeze... take...Vi,"
she gave her to Jack before sneezing herself out of her body.

"Great, now we have to get everyone to bed before we all get too sick to handle ourselves," Jack groaned.

"Miss K, you're the only one without powers, so even if you get sick you'll have to watch us until we get better," Joe told her.

"Okay, well let me have the baby," Miss K grabbed baby Violet from Jack.

"Thank you, now we have to get to our... rooms... AH-CHOO!" Jack teleported with a blue flash.

Joe's phone buzzed and he opened it up to read a text, "Jack sent me a text saying he teleported to his room."

"Thank goodness," Rebecca sighed going back into her body.

"We all have to go to our rooms quickly," Chris yelled running "Before we... AH-CHOO!" He got launched into the air by a sudden gust of wind.

"I got him," Joe yelled flying after the now falling Chris.
He caught him but then he scrunched up his face for a sneeze.
Chris saw this and started to say "Put me down," but then Joe sneezed.

"AH-CHOO!"

Chris suddenly shot out of Joe's hands and flew into the wall.

"Sorry," Joe apologized as he flew to his room.

Baby Violet sneezed and turned back into normal teenager Violet, falling out of Miss K's arms.

"I have to go to my room," she raced out of the room.

"Us too," Rebecca and Chris said together.

With Miss K alone in the training room she grabbed her shield and started practicing. In her head she thought about how the flu caught on so fast to everyone except her. She stopped in the middle of target practice, after throwing her shield. She turned around to walk to her phone, when her shield ricocheted off the wall heading straight towards the back of her head, when suddenly she caught it mid-flight.
