Thunderbolts Vol 1 4 - Who am I?

Mystique Thoughts: "Am I nothing? Do I even exist? Am I really even Raven Darkholme? These are questions I ask my self every night, while I lay awake in my bed. Is Raven Darkholme my real name or is it another identity I took, another life I took? Am I really even a person, or am I just some reflection of life? Who or what is Mystique in the end?"

(Location: "The Ghost's Bazaar" back room; People: Mystique, Sabretooth, Tombstone (Lonnie Lincoln))

(Tombstone removes a sheet over some crates and opens them to reveal some Kree Ion weapons.)

Tombstone: "Ok, heres the shipment you ordered from Mr. Ghost. Now wheres the cash?"

(Sabretooth opens up the bag he was carrying and hands it to Tombstone.)

Sabretooth: "There you go. That should be all of it."

Tombstone: "Pleasure doing business with you again. Hope to see you again."

Sabretooth: "You too Stone."

(Sabretooth and Mystique leave the room and then the bazaar.)

Mystique: "Are you ready to talk now."

Sabretooth: "Fine, what do you want to talk about."

Mystique: "I want to talk about us Victor. What has happened between us recently with the Thunderbolts and Ross."

Sabretooth: "Whats wrong with what were doing, babe? I thought you liked being a member of the Bolts and beating the Smurfs heads in?"

Mystique: "Victor, I don't know who I am any more. I don't even recognize myself when I look in the mirror."

Sabretooth: "Babe, maybe your just changing yourself in your sleep?"

Mystique: "Victor, I'm being serious. If your no going to listen I don't know what I will do?"

Sabretooth: "Babe, its nothing your just stressed relax.

Mystique: "I won't relax Victor. I'm going to get a drink alone."

(Mystique walks away from Sabretooth with a scowl on here face.)

Sabretooth: "Have it your way! Maybe you can blow off some steam there!

(Location: The Green Emperor bar; People: Mystique (disguised), The Bartender.)

(A drunken Mystique sits at the bar drink beer, while talking to the bartender.)

Mystique: "Why is it always the same... why do men always have to be so oblivious? Why can't they think of anyone, but themselves?"

Bartender: "Yep."

Mystique: "Why do they always... always have to be so..."

(Mystique's vision starts to blur and her head body begins to shake.)

Mystique's Thoughts: "What's happening? I didn't drink that much beer. Did someone spike my drink?"

Bartender: "Well it looks like its finally taken effect."

Mystique: "What... has taken... effect."

Bartender: "Why the tranquilizer I put in your drink."

Mystique: "Who... who are you?"

(The Bartender begins to change his body into that of Mystique.)

Bartender (Mystique): "Why I'm Raven Darkholme, Code-name Mystique."

(Mystique looses consciousness and all the other patrons transformer into Skrulls."

Bartender (Mystique): "Take to the ship and make sure she says asleep."

Skrulls: "Yes Sir."

(Location: Stark Hotel, Room 306; People: Sabretooth, Mystique (Skrull).)

(Sabretooth and Mystique (Skrull) in the bed together.)

Sabretooth: "Glad, your feeling better babe."

Mystique: "Sorry about early Victor I was just being emotional."

Sabretooth: "Don't worry babe. All is forgiven."

Mystique's Thoughts: "Who is Mystique? The only answer I can think of is that Mystique is anyone who wants to be Mystique and right now Mystique is not me."
