8	!!Tropes:
9
10	* AndIMustScream: Remy is utterly panicked when he's put in a tube and drugged into unconsciousness, fearing he will never wake up again.
11	* TheBadGuyWins: Even if his diary was destroyed, Essex still managed to get a hold of Remy's genetic material.
12	* BreakTheHaughty: Gambit's narration makes no mystery of the fact he tends to be a cocky little shit. Then he's scared out of his mind by a feral mutant, captured, brutally interrogated, pumped full of drugs making him sick and locked within a glass tank. When his papa comes to retrieve him and keeps him close, he kinda needs it.
13	* CruelToBeKind: When she sees how feverish Remy is, [[TheMedic Mattie]] orders a cold bath for him. The teen does not appreciate.
14	* ElectricTorture: The facility's director interrogates Gambit with a cattle prod. The kid quickly breaks.
15	* EveryoneHasStandards:
16	** At least one researcher is startled when the director starts to torture Remy with a cattle prod.
17	** The Thieves are unanimously disgusted by Bio-Storage.
18	* FanDisservice: No matter how much you squint, a terrified and sobbing fifteen-years-old teen being forcibly stripped naked to be prodded and shocked is ''not'' sexy. Even when it's [[PrettyBoy Gambit]].
19	* HumanPopsicle: When he finally wakes up in safety, Remy frets about the possibility he spent months or ''years'' sleeping in his tank. Jean-Luc reassures him it was only two weeks.
20	* IWantMyMommy: After being captured, drugged, put into a humiliating position and facing electrical torture, Remy loses any pretence to dignity and screams for his papa to save him. It took him a couple of weeks, but Jean-Luc came.
21	* NobodyPoops: Averted. Before putting Remy in a tube, the researchers take care of cleaning his bowels and bladder and fitting him with a urinary catheter.
22	* NoNameGiven: The researchers and any thief who's not a [=LeBeau=].
23	* NotSoStoic: For all his smugness, Gambit is barely fifteen year old. When he's seriously roughed up, he crumbles and starts babbling and calling for help.
24	* PapaWolf: Breaking into a top-secret facility to steal his kid back? Not a problem for Jean-Luc [=LeBeau=].
25	* PeopleJars: What "Bio-Storage" is all about. Remy himself suffers this for two weeks.
26	* PullTheIV: Downplayed, but Remy is put on a respirator and IV lines when he goes into storage. When everything is pulled off, there's mention of blood and retching.
27	* ShamefulStrip: Waking up naked does not help Remy feel safe.
28	* StrappedToAnOperatingTable: How Remy wakes up after being captured. This is in this position that he's interrogated and prepped for storage.
29	* TearsOfFear: Remy weeps a ''lot'' here, especially when threatened with a cattle prod and dunked into a glass tank.
