Character History

Graphic Novel:Maya y Alejandro

While riding with his sister on the back of a flatbed pickup truck, Alejandro explains to their driver that his sister is sick, and that he and his sister want to go to Brooklyn to get help. However, he learns the truck driver can only take them as far as San Cristobal.

Four Months Later

Alejandro and Maya are running from border patrol in a Honduran town. They finally lose them in a small home. Maya admits that she is too tired to keep running, but Alejandro reminds her that them stopping means people will die. He then says they will be in America soon and they will find the answers they need there.

After running a little more, the twins fix a deal with a man who will drive them close to the American border. The coyote says that Maya has to sit up front with him, but Alejandro demands that Maya stay next to him. Eventually, the coyote stops the car, gets out, and tells Alejandro to get out. He says that the deal was Maya sits up front and Alejandro in back, but Alejandro says that wasn't the deal and punches the driver. He then points a gun at Alejandro and then punches him back. Maya is taken with the others as Alejandro is left behind. He begins running after the truck to catch up with them.

Later, Alejandro finds the truck is stopped in the middle of the road. Everyone is dead with their eyes bleeding black. He finds Maya crying on the side of the truck and tells her that they'll come back later to bury everyone.

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, 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 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.

Notes

• Press releases have placed Maya and Alejandro in their mid-20s.
• In Kindred, Alejandro responded "no english" when Derek attempted to speak to him in english while incarcerated. However, after Maya freed him, Derek mentioned he had a car and either Alejandro or Maya seemed to know enough english to understand that.
