"I used to." Maya said smiling, "My mom used to always buy them for me." She told him her smile faultering a bit. "Ever since the...accident. I kind of stopped."

"The accident?" Michael asked. He could sense it wasn't a good memory, so he added, "you don't have to tell me if you don't feel good about it."

Maya shook her head, "It's alright." She told him, "The accident was caused by my evil twin."

Michael remembered her mentioning this mysterious 'evil twin' when they had only just met, but he also remembered she hadn't elaborated on that back then. But if the professor was going to work with her, it meant the problem lay within her - it was something psychological, or something else hidden in her head. He decided to be straightforward about it for a moment, just to make sure, "Do you have a split personality?"

Maya gave a small nod, "Yeah." She said softly. Remembering all her other side had done. "Her names Ava. She killed my mom." Maya told him, staring down at the comic book.

"I'm sorry," Michael said sincerely. Without noticing it, he sent some of his emotions her way, letting her know that he sympathized. "Has she always been a part of you?"

Maya shook her head slighty and looked up at him with the smallest of smiles, as some emotions started to run throughout her, knowing that he sympathized her, "No, I was ten when she came along."

"An unusual kind of mutant ability, or not related to that?" Michael asked.

"I don't know." Maya said with a shrug, "I was six when my mutation started...And she has her own...power..."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Michael asked cautiously. It seemed like a really unusual story - and if she needed emotional support, that was something he could offer in large amounts.

"It might help that you know what I can turn into..." Maya told him, "...If she were to ever...you know...make her presence known."

"Okay," Michael agreed. "Also, from what you told me, I begin to guess that I would notice her presence even by the change in your emotions."

Maya nodded, "I'd still look like me, only...I guess you could say my style changes..."

"Your style?" Michael asked. "What do you mean? Your behavior?"

"Everything..." Maya told him, "Behavior, mannerisms, she's a goth..."
