Rose Mary's power sometimes had a hard time distinguishing her nightmares from reality, especially nightmares that involved her being attacked, the more intense the nightmare the more likely her powers would respond. She hadn't had one like that since moving to Charles' school. Her paranoia eroded away at the safety she felt there. She was having a nightmare of being hunted like a dog for being a sick, evil, unnatural mutant freak. In her nightmare she was being physically attacked from all directions, in her dream she hated those humans, she wanted them to die, she felt the best way to do that was to create an explosion. Her power manifested for real as the explosion she wanted to unleash on those humans, the very real explosion woke her up. The first thing she saw was one of the squirrels she was so fond of laying dead clearly another victim of her power. She held its lifeless corpse to her chest and sobbed. She ran as far and fast as she could. She wasn't paying attention to where she was running. She only stopped because she was hit by a tractor trailer, without paying attention to her surroundings her power didn't manifest to protect her until it was nearly to late.
