In "Tithing," Gambit is pulled from the X-Mansion when his stepbrother Henri arrives with a dire warning: the Assassins Guild is threatening the ancient pacts, and the time of tithing has returned. Before he can explain further, Henri is slain by an assassin’s arrow—revealing the killer to be Julien, the brother of Gambit’s presumed-dead wife, Bella Donna. With Bella Donna’s survival confirmed and the stakes rising, Gambit and Rogue prepare to journey to New Orleans, where old debts and dangerous secrets await.

As tensions rise, Gambit faces a choice that could redefine his place among thieves.

In "The Benefactress," Gambit finds himself caught between loyalty and desperation when he seeks the Thieves Guild’s legendary Elixir of Life for Bella Donna—only to be forced to choose between saving her and betraying his father. With Candra, the enigmatic benefactress, watching from the shadows, Gambit’s mission takes a deadly turn when Julien’s assassins strike, testing his courage and cunning in a high-stakes confrontation. As secrets unfold and loyalties blur, a single touch from Rogue unlocks a hidden truth about Gambit’s past, leaving his future uncertain.

In "Thief of Time," Gambit races against time and treachery to save Bella Donna, wielding the Elixir of Life amid the warring guilds of New Orleans. With the vial shattered and loyalty tested, he must confront the cost of redemption—only to find that some gifts come with a price no hero can fully pay.
