I can't do anything right now. I don't want to just wait for it to get better. What else can I do that isn't regular training????
Infectia's gift to Hank proved to be more of a problem than just to Marius, when Terry began experiencing strange powers symptoms as well.

Plot Summary
Infected with the same biological contaminant that heightened and changed Marius' powers in October, Terry's own powers issues took longer to surface. It began with her hearing becoming increasingly sensitive, leading to several complaints from her on the journals about her fellow-residents being too loud; and a sore throat. Then, at a jazz performance in a local club in New York, her voice gave out entirely, losing her the gig. She also realised then that she could hear individual heartbeats, her already sensitive hearing having sharpened dramatically.
After speaking with Scott and being taken off training, Terry managed as best she could with little to no voice, the diagnosis being a mundane sore throat. Then she awakened completely deaf as well, and was taken in a panic to see Amelia. With Charles providing a psychic link so she could communicate and reassuring her, blood tests were taken to determined what was going on.
Terry was distraught over what she perceived as the loss of her future. In an effort to provide her with distraction and validation, it was arranged that she go with Haller to bring back a new student - the very same Miriam Cross who, six months previously, had attempted suicide shortly before Scott and Terry's arrival to bring her to the school. The two girls were able to communicate via Haller's telepathy, and Miriam agreed to come to the school as a student.
Upon returning, Terry was hustled down to medlab, where she was treated for the same spore contamination Marius had suffered, Amelia having determined the source of her problems. Terry recovered in a matter of days.
