I'm back! I hope you're happy about that! Here's chapter 2! Okay, so I just published a new one shot called I Love Me Too, and I encourage you to check it out! I recommend the song Numb: by...someone. I don't know who. (grins awkwardly) Now to respond to reviews!

Writer207: Thanks! I was hoping it was good! Sorry Writer, but Blue Tornado is gone. Too bad...I'll try to make this chapter good and, I don't know, maybe a little funny. You judge!

DragoKing999: Glad to hear it! I hope you like this chapter too!

TakeThePRNDL: No. I only ship Skoliver, and honestly I kind of resent Skaz. Sorry to disappoint you, but there's other writers who'll do that kind of stuff.

BeautifulSupernova: I don't know, some of the crazies might...You know what, sometimes life doesn't go the way we want it to. We're just going to need to pray for those heroes. But you'll know why soon. Yeah, unfortunately, some people will go. :(.

saamie: Well, it isn't exactly creative since it's based off a book, but I liked tagging it to Mighty Med! Glad you liked it!

DisneyChannelLover: I'm glad you liked it! I know, it'll be sad, but it has to be done. Let's hope Skylar doesn't die. I'm trying to update regularly, but I'm a professional procrastinator. XD! You'll find out in the next chapter! I'm glad you liked!

I got nothing more to say! I hope you like this!

Oliver's POV:

It was already midnight and we'd only been able to help twenty heroes. Twenty out of thousands. I was almost sure it was hopeless. Many heroes, including Blue Tornado, had already died, and we were all afraid of what might come next. I was about ready to throw in the towel, when I heard an excited yap come from down the hall. Next thing I knew, Boji was charging at me.

"Oliver!" she cried, "The results of Tecton's blood test has come back! We have a cure!"

"Where is it?!" I cried. Maybe we had some hope after all.

"The labs are trying to make as much as they can, and we should have a few gallons by tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?!" I cried, "We need that stuff today!"

"It's either tomorrow, or never. What do you want?" asked Boji.

I sighed. "Okay, I'll wait and continue to try to help heroes."

"Okay." said Boji, "I'll try to deliver some of the cure here, but I won't be able to carry much."

"Good luck." I said.

"I'll need it." said Boji.

2 hours later

I was giving Solar Flare a shot that'd hopefully help numb the odd pain, when Boji ran up to me. She waited until I'd finished my work, before grabbing my sleeve in her teeth, and dragging me off. "Follow." she whispered, through the cloth.

We were both in the hallway, along with Kaz, who Fang had dragged there before racing off to help Alley Cat. "What's going on? Boji…" I asked, my words trailing off when I got a look at Boji's face.

Despite her white fur, she looked almost paler. "What's wrong?" asked Kaz.

"I have the serum." whispered Boji, as she removed a package from her back, where it was strapped.

"That's great!" I cried, "Why do you look scared?"

"Guys," said Boji, softly, "The serum could take a month or so to cure them. There's no telling how many deaths could happen between the healing time. Only the strong will make it."

My eyes widened in horror. "But, there has to be another way!" I cried. "Isn't there something else they can do to make a serum?"

Boji shook her head. "This is like no disease ever seen. There's no convenient way to cure it."

I wanted to protest, but Kaz, knowing Boji was telling the truth, said, "Then we'll just have to use it."

Boji nodded, tears in her big blue eyes. We each grabbed a bottle of the serum and began rushing to every hero.

"Okay," I said through a walkie-talkie we'd passed out to each other. "I'll take the heroes on Mighty Med's west end, (I knew Skylar was there) Boji will take the heroes on the east wing, Kaz, you take the heroes on the north side, and Fang will work on the heroes on the south side."

"What?!" cried Kaz, "But the north side is where Spark is!"

"What's the bigger issue here?" I asked, "Your 'love life' or the disease!"

It actually took Kaz a moment to respond, finally saying, "Fine, but you owe me."

I sighed. "Whatever. I owe you."

We both turned off the walkie talkies and went to tend to patients.

Kaz's POV:

Oh boy. Here I was. Hand on the knob, standing outside her door. I slowly opened it, and said "Hey." It came out awkwardly.

"Hey...oh." said Spark. She squinted her eyes at me. "What do you want?"

"Just came to give you the cure." I said.

"So I'll be able to fight again?" asked Spark, hopefully, forgetting her hostility.

"Um, actually." I said, "You will need to take the serum for a long time before you'll actually be completely healed."

"Oh." said Spark, "Then how are you useful?"

"Nice to see you, too." I said, sarcastically.

"Seriously." said Spark, "Like this I'm weaker than a normo."

"Really feeling the love." I grumbled.

Spark started coughing hard, and I helped her take the medicine. She might have been hostile, but she wasn't strong. She had powers, so that helped her, but even powers couldn't fight the illness.

I turned to leave, because Spark looked very tired after taking the medicine. As I turned to leave, a heard her say, in a voice much weaker than the one she'd used when I first walked in, "I'm sorry, Kaz. Thanks for helping me."

I turned and smiled. "Anytime." She sank into her pillow, and I figured she was asleep, so I crept out, trying not to wake her.

Oliver's POV:

I went over to Skylar's room, after giving a few other heroes the serum, and was shocked at what I saw. Skylar had gone completely pale, and looked like she was about to pass out.

"Skylar!" I cried, running over to her.

She flinched at my voice, and whispered, hoarsely, "Y-yes?"

"You look terrible!" I cried, "Why didn't you call me?"

"Oliver, you're busy." Skylar rasped, "So many heroes are sick. They need you."

"But they have powers." I persisted, "They can take care of themselves easier."

She gave me a sad look. "You're a doctor, and you guys have the cure. Don't waste it."

I didn't know what she meant at the time, but I'd find out later. "Here." I said, giving the medicine to her. Her hands shook as she held it, and put it in her mouth. She looked like she was going to spit it out in disgust, so I whispered, "Please swallow it."

She looked like she was struggling, but eventually forced it down. "Are you okay?" I asked.

She looked a little tired, but nodded. "Y-yeah. I'm f-fine."

I grabbed a blanket from a drawer nearby and wrapped it around her. "You don't need to pretend like everything's alright." I said, softly, "I know this isn't ideal, but something's come over Mighty Med."

"I know." murmured Skylar, her teeth no longer chattering, "But I'm really not used to this. I've never felt so...weak."

I sighed. "It happens to all of us. Expect in the normo world, we usually know what's going on."

She nodded.

"Do you want some water?" I asked.

"No." said Skylar.

"Come on." I said, "It'll help moisten your throat."

"I can't." said Skylar.

Skylar's POV:

I knew drinking water would help, but I suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of nausea spread over me. I couldn't bring myself to drink the water, for some reason. Something was discouraging me.

Oliver gave me a nervous look. "Skylar, are you alright?"

"Just go." I choked. "GO!"

Oliver darted out of the room fast. Why did I feel so angry?! For some reason, I didn't want to see anyone. Not even Oliver.

I looked around the room, and it appeared to be spinning. There was a glass of water on the bed side table, and it caused me to vomit in my mouth. "What is wrong with you?" I asked myself.

Before I could think of an answer, I passed out.

Nobody's POV:

The next few days were rough for Skylar. She refused all food and drinks, and Oliver had to practically force her to take the medicine. But medicine or not, she wasn't getting proper nutrition, and it showed. It was almost impossible to tell if the medicine was helping her, because if the sickness wasn't making her look and act strange, it was the lack of food. She was very dehydrated, but refused all efforts of help.

After this had gone on for a week, Oliver came in, and said, "Look, I know you don't want to hear this, but you have to let others help."

"No." said Skylar, "There's nothing they can do."

"Skylar, people are dying." said Oliver, "And I can tell that not eating is taking a toll on you." It was true. Oliver could tell her cheeks were thinner, and sunken in, and her eyes were dull.

"I know." said Skylar, softly, "But I just can't."

"You have to!" cried Oliver, suddenly.

"Please, just go!" shrieked Skylar, her voice scratchy. She was once again shocked by the wave of anger.

"If you don't eat," said Oliver, "You're more likely to die. Please, Skylar. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for me. I don't know what I'd do without you." He leaned over and wrapped his arms around Skylar.

Skylar could feel her back wet with his tears, and suddenly realized how much this meant to him. As a hero, duty was always very important to her. And if her duty to her friends was staying alive, she'd have to do her best, whether she wanted to or not. "Give me the glass." she said, softly.

Skylar wasn't strong enough to hold it, so Oliver held it up to her lips so she could drink. Once the cool liquid hit her tongue, she realized just how thirsty she was, and how dry her throat was. She quickly gulped down all the water, and asked for more and more. Oliver knew what was coming, but he didn't stop her. She also ate a little, though she didn't have the strength to take in much, but she looked grateful.

When she finished, Oliver checked to make sure a trash can was nearby. Hey, he was a doctor, and he knew these things. Right on cue, she threw up everything she took in. "What just happened?" she asked.

"When you don't eat much for a long time," started Oliver, "You aren't able to hold much down. You need to eat only a little each day, and gradually eat more."

Skylar blushed, probably embarrassed about throwing up in front of Oliver. Then the pink drained out of her cheeks, and she suddenly fainted into Oliver's arms.

Okay, I will say what happens next isn't good. You'll find out what happened to the heroes, though! I've got to apologize for taking so long with the update. Well, it's here now! I hope you liked, and are maybe a little concerned about the disease. Bye!
