The past week had been a rough one for Gambit, to say the very least.
First there was the fact that damn near everyone tells him about Rogue making out with Deadpool, then he had to deal a Mystique related attack, then there was some breakup drama that pretty much engulfed the students leading to him being stuck with a group of students more interested in gossip over sex ed and finally he found himself in the grasp of a new villain, one who never actually revealed their name to him, nor did they ever explain their motives.
The person had to power to control Gambit's body which kept him from escaping.
He'd been tortured and kept awake for a little over 72 hours before he blacked out.
When he woke up he was in the med bay with no memory of how he got there.
No one would say much other than they found his kidnapper completely dismembered and Remy passed out.
It seemed like almost everyone was walking on egg shells when he was around.
Something had happened but he wasn't sure what.
In truth, no one did, but they were all sure Gambit had something to do with it.
Remy hated the way they were acting around him and that compounded another problem.
He could feel that darkness in him rising again.
Death.
Remy had once been Death, Apocalypse most feared Horseman.
It had cost him everything and, in order to get rid of it, he sought out the help of Mister Sinister.
As it turned out, Sinister could only suppress the monster inside Gambit.
A trip to limbo brought it back out.
He thought that he'd been finished with Death after he'd been defeated in Limbo, but ever since his kidnapping, he could feel Death grow inside of him.
And he knew he couldn't stop it.
He had to get help fast, he wasn't sure who to go to, but he was sure there had to be someone that could help him without telling anyone else what was going on.
It was just a matter of finding that person.
Unbeknownst to him, Remy was already playing right into Death's hands.
