What happen
s to you now?
What kill
s you? (i.e. fills you with strong emotion)
What harm
s you?
What bring
s you here?
Note, all the verbs end in -s.
Verbs ending in -s agree in number with 3rd person subjects. Our subject 'What' refers to a 3rd person pronoun (it):
I get fired is what happens to me now.
It is
what happens to me now. It = What
What happens to you now?
It kills you; It harms you; It brings you.
All the best,
