Title:
Mutant X (1998) Annual
Synopsis:
A Sinister Thread, Part 1: Thieves in the Night
Bloodstorm and her new friend, Gambit, break into a building. Both do not know whose building it is or who it is they are robbing from. After opening a mysterious door, Bloodstorm’s former teammate from her X-Men days, Warren Worthington III, comes falling out, nearly fainting! Warren, now calling himself Death, recognizes Bloodstorm. Both former friends and teammates are obviously not pleased to see each other. They were apparently once much more than just friends, until Bloodstorm noticed that Warren was keeping secrets from her and the team. Death’s fellow Horsemen, War, comes to his aid. Together, they attack Gambit and Bloodstorm. Bloodstorm summons up the Creatures of the Night so that she and Gambit can continue their job and keep running.
After Bloodstorm reveals how she was bitten by Dracula, they enter a huge lab and rescue two babies. Death slashes Gambit in his back, but Bloodstorm saves his life by turning Gambit into a vampire!
After defeating Death and War, Gambit thanks Bloodstorm for saving his life, but Bloodstorm believes that she only took it.
========================
A Sinister Thread, Part 2: First Blood
Gambit struggles with the fact that he is turning into a vampire and hates Bloodstorm for doing this to him. Scared, he runs away and has a run-in with the rival Assassins Guild, who have killed near every one of Gambit’s former Thieves Guild family. Gambit takes revenge by killing them all, using their blood to feed on. Realizing the potential of his new vampire powers, Gambit returns to Bloodstorm and orders her to leave, as he can’t bear to be with her right now. Bloodstorm does as asked and leaves Gambit alone with the two babies they rescued.
A short time later, Mr. Sinister appears in front of Gambit, congratulating him on a job well done and Sinister takes the baby boy (whom he dubs X-Man) with him and orders Gambit to desposit the useless baby girl. Gambit can’t allow that to happen and protects her with his life. Sinister allows Gambit to have her but warns that one day he will come back, or someone even worse than he, and reclaim her.
Sinister goes back to his lab, making several clones of X-Man, and, as the clones age, Sinister can only smile about the results.
