Brain, something caught her eye. It looked kind of weird, but she went to check it out. Whatever she saw, she was really interested in because she had never seen anything like it before- she didn’t recognize it. She stood there, thought about it, and realized that they were viruses.

With both Key and Beesul working together, the two viruses shriveled up and died and the clean up crew had to come pick them up and throw them in the body fill.

This outbreak was responsible for taking away ten years from the average life expectancy of a person, kept people in a constant panic, and “In its wake, the pandemic would leave about twenty million dead across the world. In America alone, about 675,000 people in a population of 105 million would die from the disease.3” Governments and private organizations both scrambled to find a cure and in 1918 they believed they might have found the source of the virus to be a bacteria rather than a virus. They operated under that assumption until
