Hard To Be A Virus

"Ozzy's doing what?" Maria asked Drix as they were at Immunity.

"I know but for some reason Osmosis thinks that vile monster Thrax deserves a second chance after everything he's done, trying to kill Frank, his son infecting Ozzy making him a virus and then trying to get him to help him in crimes.

There's something off about this." Drix said.

But the female officer wasn't sure.

"Drix I don't think he's much of a threat.

You saw how pale and weak Thrax was when we stopped those guys from beating on him.

He looked really scared." she answered as the cold pill sighed.

But he went to get Leah so they could go back to the apartment together but decided not to tell her about Thrax being there until they got there.


In Cerebullum Hall Leah was very quiet working but was wearing purple sunglasses over her glowing purple eyes so that others especially Mayor Spryman wouldn't know she was a virus but had hidden her claws by wearing gloves. But some of the other cells knew her secret and weren't so kind towards her because of it especially Chief Gluttonus.

After he found out the Mayor's aide was half virus, he was on full alert and making sure she wasn't trying to infect the city but she had her virus side under control because she and Ozzy took medicine Drix had made to keep the virus side at bay but he knew how hard Leah was having it and to deal with being a virus but he saw a police officer do a search on Gluttonus's orders as she was clocking out.

"What do you think you're doing?" he asked Gluttonus.

The police chief scowled seeing that Drix wanted to help Leah.

"I'm making sure this viral scum doesn't infect Hector!

Just stay out of it!" he answered which made Drix mad.

He knew Leah would never do it even with her being half virus but he watched as Gluttonus left her on the floor.

Drix saw her get to her feet slowly as he handed her the purple shades.

"T-Thanks Drix." she said shaking as her eyes glowed with fear.

"Let's get back to the apartment, okay?" he said as she nodded.


Ozzy watched as Thrax's yellow eyes opened.

The pale red skinned virus had been lying on the couch but had been asleep for a while but Ozzy felt his forehead but gasped.

The virus was burning up.

He hoped he'd be okay as he got him a drink.

"T-Thanks but why did you help me when that gang attacked me?

After everything I've done.

I'm nothing but a monster." Thrax said coughing slightly.

"No you're not.

I know you've done some terrible things but I can understand why you do those things not because you want to be in medical books but because you're lonely because nobody understands and were afraid of you like most of Hector with me because I'm half virus." Ozzy told him stroking his short purple dreads which were messy from neglect.

There was silence but Ozzy felt Thrax hug him.

"Thank you...... for wanting to give me a chance.

Nobody ever did that.

Not even my parents." the virus said softly as he fell asleep.

Ozzy smiled warmly watching Thrax sleep but he needed Drix's help to see what was making Thrax ill.


Drix was surprised as well as Leah when Ozzy had told them that Thrax was sick.

But the cold pill was surprised seeing Leah touch Thrax's hand in sympathy.

He remembered before she was half virus, she was totally afraid of Thrax after what happened in Frank but right now he saw their foe was in pain and needed help whether Drix liked it or not.

"What do you want me to do?" he said conceding defeat.

A smile crossed Ozzy's face at that.

"Thanks Drix.

First we need a blood sample so we can see what it is that's making him sick.

Then we can help him." Ozzy answered happily.

"Ozzy........ we have to talk later when Leah isn't around." the cold pill replied.

"About this?" he asked as Drix shook his head.

"No.

About her." Drix said as he got a syringe and prepared to collect some blood samples from Thrax.

Ozzy saw he was shaking as he put it in Thrax's arm after Ozzy rolled up his sleeve.

But Thrax's eyes opened with fear and pain which shocked them.

"P-Please don't hurt me!" he whimpered which made Drix afraid.

"It's okay Thrax.

We needed a sample so we can help you." Ozzy told him as Drix shot some ice on the virus's arm.

"Does that help?" Drix asked nervously.

Thrax nodded but Ozzy saw that Thrax was scared of Drix and his freeze gun.

But Drix then went into his room to examine the sample..........
