So, she’s forced to face her own worst fear: a memory of fire and mayhem.
What’s up, doc?
Bedtime scares

Young love

Roberto’s sin?
I burned her.”
As his preppy clothes hint, this mutant came from an affluent family.

Perhaps these are part of Illyana’s past that have come back to haunt her.
Haunted house
Is this all real?
