Maritza jumped when Lucy suddenly appeared outside of her own body. For a moment she believed herself to be insane, but then she realised how stupid that was. She was literally a fire wielding pyromaniac and Quinn was a psychic. Why was Lucy's ability so unrealistic?

Maritza very carefully got to her feet and made her way over to the two siblings. She first gently touched Lucy's ankle, the solid Lucy on the bed, just to see if she was physically there. She was. And then she reached out to brush the talking Lucy's shoulder, and like Quinn, she found that her hand just went straight through the girl. Okay. This was relatively odd.

"We won't tell anyone," Maritza assured the nervous girl. Having grown up with the background that she had, she understood the importance of secrecy and privacy so she was more than happy to keep this girl's abilities under wraps. Besides, she wanted Lucy to like her. That was important.

"What else have you been able to do?" she asked, sitting down just beside Quinn and taking his hand.
