Joseph and Lillie were having a private conversation on the rooftop.

"Joseph we have a situation in our home world." Lillie said.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Asked Joseph.

"A new Virus started to spread, originating from China," Lillie said.

"What is it called?" Asked Joseph

"Coronavirus, or Covid-19. It causes respiratory illnesses. Symptoms can be from a simple cough, fever, even difficulty breathing." Lillie explains.

"Shit, do we need the Division in our home world now?" Joseph asked.

"Joseph! Time and place please! This is serious!" Lillie scolded.

"Sorry sorry, anyhow, how's it lookin?" Joseph asked.

"Not very good, panic started to spread, schools are closing down, people hoarding groceries such as toilet paper. Even POTUS made a state of emergency." Lillie explained.

"Yeah not looking very good. How many are infected? What's the death toll?" Asked Joseph.

"Around 1.3 million are infected and around 70 thousand are dead. The worst part, it mainly affects young children, the elderly, and those who have a weak immune system." Lillie explained.

"Shit, will she be alright?" Joseph asked

"I don't know, she does have a weak immune system, but she's a fighter." Lillie said.

"I ain't riskin it, we should send her to the World of the Traveler!" Joseph said.

"Yeah, good idea." Lillie said. "Anyhow, scientists are trying to make a vaccine even a cure to stop this virus. In the meantime, people are to be quarantined in their house to reduce the spreading. If people were to go outside, they will need to wear a mask that covers the mouth and nose. People will also wash their hands constantly to make sure they or others won't get the virus." Lillie explained.

"Well, let's hope that they are able to find a cure, there are many people I care about there." Joseph said

"Me too honey, but all we can do is stay away from our hometown and pray that everything is going to be alright." Lillie said.

Ruby opened the door from the rooftops, "Hey guys what's wrong?" Asked Ruby

"Oh nothing. Just discussing what we should teach you guys next Friday." Joseph said.

"How about a sparring session? We can learn things as we fight one another." Ruby suggests.

"Yeah sure why not? Go, Lillie and I will discuss how this sparring session will play out." Joseph said.

"Okay!" Ruby said. She left the rooftop as Joseph and Lillie sat in silence.

"We should discuss that sparring session we are going to have next Friday." Lillie says to try to get their minds off of their hometown.

"Yeah, yeah sure." Joseph said worryingly.
