"I don't care for the difference in semantics. Self pity is still just weakness marinated the witless."

"No whining here, just sulking. There's a difference."

[imperialpraetor]

"I've unfortunately had the displeasure of familiarizing myself with your worlds slang. However, that does not leave my threat any less real." Largely to the credit of his son after attending Professor Xavier's school.

"Woah, dude! I'm just joshing with you. Aaand I'm now realizing that you probably have no idea what the hell that means.."

[imperialpraetor]

"I am Gladiator, Super Guardian of the Shi'ar Empire, and I am not to be trifled with by some cheap imitation of a Summers."

"... who the hell are you?"

[imperialpraetor]

"I'll allow you to keep your throat this time, but don't suggest such a thing again."

[imperialpraetor]

"If all you intend to do is whine, do it away from me."

"Oh, yeah. It's real nice that we get to stay in this creepily abandoned complex until everything's sorted out. It's like a frickin' vacation if you ask me."

[imperialpraetor]

"Let me rephrase. Without myself and Deathbird by her side the fate of Majestrix Lilandra is at risk. So do not let this enigma stop you and put that mutated lump of electrically charged gelatin like tissue to work or donate it to someone who can use it."

"I understand that this has been a... difficult adjustment for us all. I can't answer as to why reality has wreaked this havoc, but I'd be happy to answer any questions related to my— to the X-Men."

"Uncultured? That's almost amusing." He was part of the greatest culture in all of existence. There could not be a people more cultured.

"I don't see how you not knowing who I am is my problem. It's not my fault if you're uncultured, is it?"

[imperialpraetor]

"No. I assume mine to be just as impressive of me. Should he display greater ability I will know just how much more I'm capable of."

"This variant thing is... a lot. Don't get me wrong: I'm decently self-confident. My variant just may be cooler? I don't know. Is anyone else having this experience? I'm still processing."

[imperialpraetor]

"Who are you?"

"Should I be offended that I don't exist in this reality? I feel a little offended."

[imperialpraetor]

"I don't feel the need to amaze and astonish." His abilities could do those on their own. "Rumors have told that you can create portals to other dimensions. I am here to confirm if these stories have been exaggerated."

"When you spend a decent chunk of your life surrounded by demons it becomes hard to be fazed. But please, do your best."

[imperialpraetor]

"Disappointing." Kallark replied as he looked her up and down before looking past her. "I had hoped you'd be of assistance to the Shi'ar Empire after hearing of your abilities."

"I used to believe that we stood at the beginning of the end. Now everything is new and uncharted." Although Irene was reluctant to admit it, her visions hadn't exactly been steady since they had arrived on Earth-Prime. There was a pause before her head titled to the side. "The question on your lips? Don't ask it. I see far, but I make no guarantees. Not right now."

[imperialpraetor]

"I'm the very same Gladiator that you and your X-Men know." He said with a slight scoff, almost offended that he couldn't be discerned.

"Last Ah checked, there wasn't a welcomin' committee for this reality. The best Ah can offer is some moonshine — or whatever your poison of choice is."

"I don't concern myself with such inconsequential matters." While his words were rude his tone wasn't. Vampires didn't matter to him know did he much know what they were. They were simply inconsequential to himself and the empire."

"Last I checked, I had signed up to hunt monsters, not traverse the bloody multiverse. Pardon me for not being super chuffed right now. Does anyone even know where the vamps hang out in this godforsaken reality?"

[imperialpraetor]

"You have my patience but not for long." Kallark replied arms crossed. "You're intelligent. You understand my being here risks the balance of galactic peace and the lives over hundreds of billions. Time is of the essence, Dr. Storm."

"Of course we're looking into it. Unfortunately, looking doesn't always mean finding. I know it's a lot to ask people to be patient, but there's not much else we can do. Think you can hang on for a little longer?"
