Evolved Human Abilities
In Four Months Later..., there are hints that if Maya is upset or separated from her brother, something bad will happen. 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.
When Alejandro finds Maya after she is kidnapped by some "Coyotes", everyone else in the truck has died; their eyes have spilt black tears.
In Lizards, Maya's virulent ability is confirmed 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 returns to Alejandro's eyes.
Her power manifests once again in The Kindness of Strangers, this time while she is crying. It also affects Sylar, making his eyes turn black, before Alejandro reverses it.
In Truth & Consequences, Maya manages to reverse the effects of her ability without Alejandro's ability.
