Takes place somewhere between chapters 3 and 4.

I turned on the TV, hoping to watch Star Trek. Nope. Just the news.

"A mandatory quarantine has been put in effect by the mayor of Central City...." The reporter rambled.

"This is not happening!" I yelped.

"What is it, Sivonne?" Esme asked.

"We're on quarantine!"

"This is awful!" Esme whined. "Now there's nothing to do."

"Esme, I'm going to the library- oh wait! It's closed." I grumbled. "The mall? Also closed." I turned upside down on the couch. "I'm bored....."

"You speedsters and your short attention spans." Esme grumbled.

"Hey! Not my fault!" I bickered.

"Yeah, but who's the one who keeps losing the remote!?" Esme argued.

"Well, you ate all my Starburst!"

"GIRLS!!!" Dad yelled. "Stop bickering or I swear to whatever's out there, you'll be banned from S.T.A.R. Labs for a year!"

"Wait what?" Esme yelped. She then raised an eyebrow as the house suddenly became very clean.

"Dad... I cleaned the whole house... Now what do I do?" I whined.

"Stop whining, go take a jog."

So, I took a few laps around the country at about Mach 10 and then came home. "How long has it been since they said we were quarantined?"

"Three minutes."

"UGH!!!!"
