[Laura quietly focuses on her memory of what had happened in Las Vegas — her memory is very good anyway, something she prides herself on — and immediately recollects the reavers in Las Vegas. How she'd been there with Xavier, looking out the window and enjoying the view of the city life down below. Charles had started telling her about the strange games downstairs that involved 'gambling' when the Reavers had broken into the room. Had drawn their guns prepared to kill them.
And, well. That's when Charles tried to save them. She's not sure if it was a seizure to start, or if he'd attempted to use his powers before the dam fell through once more — either way, she'd been hit with it just the same as the men with guns. It brought her straight to the ground and took the air out of her lungs.
All in their heads, and yet it felt so utterly real. Being unable to move, unable to walk, unable to breathe. Frozen in body, frozen through the mind.
It had been pure relief when Logan had forced his way into that room, had released them from that insanely powerful psychic attack. It had taught her just how to feel it, that sensation of another mind digging their heels down into your own.]
