Maya quirked a brow, "Really?" She asked.

"I'm not allowed any strong emotions," Michael replied. "Ever since I was a kid, I've learned to avoid them."

"Why's that?" Maya asked, her brow furrowed with curiosity.

"Heart condition," Michael replied, automatically indicating at his heart with his hand. "Not allowed to get the heart rate up, or I get a heart attack."

Maya's eyes widen, "A heart condition?" She asked.

Michael nodded. "Simply speaking, a very weak heart."

"So, you can never feel any strong emotions, because it could cause you to have a heart attack?" She asked her eyes still a bit wide, and she started to feel a little worried for him.

"I can't say about 'never'," Michael replied. "There might be a slim one out of thousand chance that one particular case of getting emotional won't kill me. But would I really want to take that chance?"

Maya shook her head, "No, and I wouldn't want you to..." She told him, "If something did ever happen, though, I'd bring you back."

"My mutation." Maya told him, "I heal the dead."

Smiler was as much surprised as he could afford. "Wow," he said, not hiding his amazement. "Does this... ability of yours have any limitations?"

"I can't bring back a person if they've been dead for year, I can try and try, but..." She trailed off, "...sometimes if my emotions aren't in control it won't work." She said remembering her mother, "...but I've healed people with my emotions being all over the place, before."

"Well, what if they've died a horrible death, blown into pieces or something?" Michael asked. Not too pleasant a subject, but too interesting to drop that soon.

"Well..." Maya started, "...I haven't healed anyone blown into pieces, but I can heal a person by thought if I concentrate really hard. So..." She said with a small shrug.
