When Worlds Collide

With new heroes come new powers - but none so dark as the black tears of Maya. Emitting a black poison that kills all around her, Maya's power is a burden, as unwelcome to her as to those around her. With her twin brother Alejandro as her antidote, the siblings are on the run, leaving a wake of death and destruction in their path.

Matt really is having a nightmare, in more ways than one.
