Character History

Graphic Novel:Maya y Alejandro

On the back of a truck taking Alejandro and Maya north, Maya reads chapter 5 of Chandra Suresh's book, Activating Evolution. While their desired destination is Brooklyn, the truck driver says he can only go as far as San Cristobal.

Four Months Later

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 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 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 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.

Powers

Throughout the episode it is hinted that you do not want to get Maya mad or she will "do" something. Later, when Alejandro finds Maya, a whole truck of people have been killed and "petrified." Their eyes have bled and turned black.
