Two weeks after it all happened, Bobby has a dream where he freezes the water in the dam, he saves everybody and Jean by freezing all the water. It wakes him up and he cries in the empty room for a long time before he falls back asleep.

It isn't until the next morning, over breakfast, that he realizes how impossible that would've been-- even years from now, when he knows exactly how to control his powers to their utmost effect, he won't ever be able to freeze miles of water in minutes-- but knowing that doesn't change the bruising guilt rattling around in his chest. And anyway, Bobby's used to the feeling. This is the way he thinks about things. Keeping who he is from his parents forever; touching Rogue; talking to John about anything serious. None of these is possible, but not doing them is still his fault.
