Maya and [[Alejandro]] are running from border patrol and they finally lose them in a small home. Maya admits that she is too tired from running and if they get caught people will [[death|die]]. Alejandro replies by saying that people will only die if they stop running. He then says they will be in America soon and they will find the answers they need there. The siblings continue to run. Maya and Alejandro fix a deal with a [[Coyote|man]] who drives people close to the American border. They argue over whether Maya sits in the front with the driver scum or with Alejandro. Eventually the car stops and the driver scams Alejandro and twists his deal. Alejandro then punches the driver but the driver points a gun and then punches him back. Maya is taken by the driver and [[Hulk|his friend]] and Maya screams that they have no idea what they're doing. Later when Alejandro finds the truck everyone is dead with black eyes that bled at one point. Maya is crying on the side of the truck. |

===[[Lizards]]=== |
|||
Alejandro and [[Maya]] arrive at the home of [[Nidia]], a family friend in Guatemala who also helps people cross the border into Mexico. While waiting for night to make the crossing, [[curandera|another woman]] waiting there claims to be a healer and tries to cure Maya. She appears to sense a terrible blackness inside Maya, pronounces her cursed, and refuses to be in a group with her crossing the border. |
|||
That night, they attempt the crossing into Mexico. When border guards start searching in the area, Maya and Nidia become separated from Alejandro. Distressed by the situation, Maya's eyes start to [[Maya's ability|leak black fluid]]. She tells Nidia to run, but the border guide soon sheds black tears of her own and collapses. Alejandro catches up and comforts his sister. He holds Maya's hands, and the black tears on her face become clear, his own eyes becoming dark. His power also revives Nidia, who declares that Alejandro and Maya are evil and runs away. |

===[[Kindred]]=== |
|||
Maya and [[Alejandro]] are still in [[Mexico]], only a few days from the border. Alejandro is worried for Maya so he tries to get them a car by breaking open the window of a Cadillac. [[Garcia|A cop]] sees them and chases them. Eventually, Maya and Alejandro try to jump a fence, but Alejandro is caught and arrested. |
|||
Later, Maya tries to get Alejandro from the [[Mexican police station|police station]] by pleading and trying to make the cop feel guilty. After failed attempts, she explains that she is a murderer. She then uses [[Maya's ability|her power]] and causes the two cops and [[Derek]] to collapse. Maya breaks Alejandro out and he uses his power to heal her and everyone else. Derek asks to go with them because he has a car. The three run to his [[Nissan Rogue|car]], and drive away. |
|||
===[[The Kindness of Strangers]]=== |
|||
Maya and [[Alejandro]] are driving through the Mexican desert when they spot a body on the road in front of them. Rushing out of their car, they turn the body over, presuming it is dead--it is [[Sylar]], and when they see he is alive, they take him with them on their journey. |
|||
Maya shows Sylar [[Activating Evolution|Chandra's book]], and Sylar tells her that he too is on his way to [[New York City, NY|New York]]. Sylar tells Maya that he has read the book, knows Suresh, and can take them to him. When Sylar introduces himself as "Gabriel Gray", Maya remarks that it is "like the angel", believing that this is a sign from God that they are on the right path. |
|||
They stop to buy a newspaper, and Sylar asks Maya if the mugshot on the front of the paper is them, and despite being told by [[Alejandro|her brother]] not to tell the truth, she does, but says that she did not mean it to happen. Crying, [[Maya's ability|her power]] manifests again, also affecting Sylar. Alejandro uses [[Alejandro's ability|his ability]] to heal her. Sylar then drives away, using the keys he has stolen from [[Derek]] (whom he has killed). |
|||
===[[The Line]]=== |
|||
Maya, [[Alejandro]], and [[Sylar]] continue towards America. Sylar comments on [[Maya's ability|her ability]], but Maya tells him she has [[Maya's victims|killed many people]] because of it. Sylar tells her of some of his previously working abilities like [[telekinesis]] and [[enhanced hearing]], and claims he needs [[Chandra|Dr. Suresh]]'s help to get them back. When she asks why he wants his abilities, he tells her that he wants to be special. [[Alejandro]] wakes up and tells Maya to stop at the next gas station to find a coyote, but Maya tells him that they cannot leave Sylar behind. She tells Sylar that they will not leave him, and tells him that she is glad they found him. |
|||
When they finally get to the border, they find an opening. When the trio pass through, they are surrounded by a [[Citizen's Border Patrol]]. Sylar tells Maya to drive around. While the Border Patrol harasses the twins and Sylar, Alejandro and Sylar begin to yell at Maya, which upsets her. Her eyes turn black and the men fall down as Sylar holds Alejandro back from using [[Alejandro's ability|his ability]], allowing them to escape. |
|||
Safely within the U.S., Alejandro and Sylar fight, and Maya separates the two. Maya tells her brother she had to do what she did because it was necessary. Alejandro calls her a killer, blaming Sylar. Alejandro then tells Maya that she needs to pick between him and Sylar. She tells him that she needs both of them. Alejandro says he will stay, but he will not save Sylar again. |

===[[Four Months Ago...]]=== |

[[Image:Powers maya first black tear.jpg|thumb|right|Maya cries her first [[Poison emission|black tear]].]] |
|||
In [[Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic]], [[Alejandro]] marries [[Gloria]]. Maya discovers the bride making love with her [[Gilberto|ex-boyfriend]] from two years prior. Maya wishes the girl dead and, as her [[Maya's ability|powers]] first manifest, kills everyone at the wedding except for Alejandro. |
|||
Months later, Alejandro tracks Maya to a [[Venezuelan convent|convent]] in [[Zulia, Venezuela]]. He turns her over to the [[Sheriff Gonzalez|sheriff]], but her power manifests again and the policeman falls to the ground. Alejandro holds her tight and discovers that he can [[Alejandro's ability|reverse the effects of her power]]. Alejandro notices the policeman stirring and they escape from the town together. |
|||
===[[Truth & Consequences]]=== |
|||
[[Sylar]] and Maya sit by [[Cook Lake, VA]]. Sylar tries to get Maya to learn how to control her [[power]]. He starts to make Maya angry by telling her how much her brother, [[Alejandro]], hates her because Maya killed [[Gloria]] and Alejandro gave up his life for Maya. Even though Maya claims it was an accident, she gets emotional, and begins to [[Maya's ability|cry black tears]]. However, at Sylar's urging, Maya manages to take control of her ability. |
|||
Maya rushes into the house to inform Alejandro of what she just did. However, Alejandro tells Maya that he found out that Sylar is actually a murderer who killed [[Virginia Gray|his own mother]]. Maya is at first in denial about it until Sylar admits it. He spins Maya a story about his mother disowning him because of his abilities, and how he was forced to defend himself against her. Maya believes it and moves closer to Sylar. Frustrated, Alejandro leaves the room, returning later to confront Sylar. |
|||
Sylar knocks Alejandro to the ground before stabbing him several times in the chest, killing him. Sylar lets Maya think Alejandro has gone off alone. Maya then leaves to [[New York, NY|New York]] with Sylar to find [[Mohinder|Suresh]]. Maya stands with Sylar in [[Mohinder's apartment]] as Sylar talks on the phone with the geneticist. |

===[[Powerless]]=== |
|||
Maya is cooking breakfast for [[Sylar]] when [[Mohinder]] arrives at his home. When Mohinder tells Maya that Sylar is a killer, she misunderstands, thinking that Mohinder is referring to the accidental death of Sylar's [[Virginia Gray|mother]]. When Sylar takes Mohinder at gunpoint, Mohinder tells Maya that Sylar is a "monster." Distressed, Maya activates her [[Maya's ability|ability]], which affects Mohinder, Sylar, and [[Molly]]. Unwilling to kill the man who could cure her and an innocent girl, Maya deactivates her ability. Sylar forces them all to [[Isaac's loft|Mohinder's lab]] at gunpoint, making Maya and Molly sit down on a bed while Mohinder treats him. Maya tells Molly about her brother [[Alejandro]]. When Molly offers to [[clairvoyance|find]] him, she says that he "isn't anywhere," meaning that he is dead. Enraged, she tries to attack Sylar, only to be shot. To make sure that it works, Sylar has Mohinder use [[rapid cell regeneration|Claire's blood]] on Maya, successfully reviving her. |

Maya doesn't believe that [[Mohinder Suresh]] can take away her [[Poison emission|ability]], but he takes a sample of her blood. When she returns, he has made something that he believes will give people abilities. She tells him not to use it on himself and storms away. The next day, he has given himself abilities and they kiss after he says that he can take away abilities too. Maya is concerned that the serum Mohinder took has negative side effects. Maya shows him a flier saying that his neighbor, [[Mark Spatney]], is missing. She sees a trail of blood on the floor and leaves. She later returns when he is gone and sees Mark cocooned to the wall. She tries to free him but Mohinder comes back but Mohinder finds her there and cocoons her to the wall also. Later, Mohinder takes her to [[Pinehearst Headquarters]], where [[Arthur Petrelli]] [[Ability theft|takes her ability]]. She tells Mohinder that she wants to her start her life and never to talk to her again. Mohinder finds her new adress and goes there, but realizes that it was a mistake, so he left. The [[Kill Squad]]'s next target is Maya, but Pinehearst and [[The Company|Primatech]] stop them from killing Maya. [[Red Eye]] also plays a big part in saving her life. [[Rebel]] tells Maya to look for a new identity at the [[Angry Skunk Bar]]. [[Danko's team|Armed men]] attacks her and others there, but she escapes and parts on her own journey. After "[[James Martin|Sylar]]"'s [[Sylar's funeral|funeral]], Mohinder remembers that Maya was there when his [[Mohinder's ability|mutations]] were happening. |

Evolved Human Abilities
Maya and Alejandro both seem to believe that Maya is responsible for causing the deaths of people around them. They believe that they need to get to New York, where there is a doctor who can help her. Since they have been reading a copy of Activating Evolution, they are presumably seeking Chandra Suresh. (Four Months Later...)
When Alejandro finds Maya after she is kidnapped by some "coyotes", everyone else in the truck has died; their eyes have spilled black tears.
Maya's virulent ability manifests when she begins leaking black liquid from the eyes. Then, her guide to cross the border dies just like the coyotes. However, Alejandro is somehow able to reverse the condition, by gripping Maya's hands tight and praying. The guide comes back to life and flees, and all the black liquid is absorbed into Alejandro's eyes (Lizards). Maya later learns to reverse the effects of her ability without Alejandro's ability. (Truth & Consequences)
At long last, Maya's ability is taken away by Arthur Petrelli. (Eris Quod Sum)
