Be quiet, Tom. I'm getting something... Wire...and sores and hunger and lice, Tom. My head's full of screaming people...and one of them's me!

I am Lady Mandarin. Yield, warrior -- or suffer the consequences!

Uncanny X-Men Vol 1 257

Here I go. Alone. Armed. Facing impossible odds. Crawling through a ventilation duct. As Jubilee would no doubt say: "... eat your heart out, Bruce Willis!"

X-Men Vol 2 78

Moments like this, I start to agree with Rogue. The world hates us so much, the hell with it. Who needs the X-Men, anyway?

This was my moment of ultimate truth, the final confrontation in the ring between matador and bull where both know that only one will survive. I knew that would be me... right up until the moment I died.

Looking for your teleporter? This challenge is to the death, remember? So how 'about we see just how good you really are?

X-Men: Sword of the Braddocks Vol 1 1

This is who I was. A last link to my life. Gone. A life that was ripped away from me a long time ago by one man. A man I thought I had made my peace with. I was wrong. Whatever mercy I had left in me burned away with that body. Whatever vestiges of Elizabeth Braddock that would spare him again are gone. Become now? Matsu'o Tsurayaba is going to die.

Psylocke Vol 1 1

Matsu'o!! I chided one of the X-Men's students for showing mercy to a foe. I did not tell her that I had made that mistake once. With you. You too me, body and soul, and I still forgave you. Despite everything you did, I let you live. Now I realize my mistake. Now I correct it. Face me!!

Psylocke Vol 1 2

It isn't the morality of the mission that frightens me.. it is my elation at the opportunity to repay these devils.

I tell myself that if I do it... If I do take lives in the course of doing what's right... Then at least it means other people won't have to. Like I'm... Like I'm saving innocent souls. But that's a lie. That's lazy guilt-dodging bollocks. The truth is this: I rejoined X-Force because I couldn't bear to stay away. My name is Elizabeth Braddock, and I'm an addict.

X-Force Vol 4 3

He's not mad, Ororo. He's infuriating and prideful and egomaniacal and secretive... but he's also right. We can't bury our heads in the sand and wait for this to be over.

Lord... blind me! N-No look at all of them! This is what Akkaba wants. They want me to be afraid... to call out to... Warren -- Warren... Archangel... I'm sorry... but I need you!

Uncanny X-Men Vol 4 8

You should have told me. You. I shouldn't have heard about this from anyone else.

Uncanny X-Men Vol 4 12

No, Warren! Don't you see? All of this would just have been the start if you hadn't saved me. And if he took me, he can take others. Jean, the Cuckoos, Quentin, Emma Frost. Any one of them is like a psychic nuke, and he's going after them right now. I saw what he's planning. If he gets any of them... if he gets out...

Astonishing X-Men Vol 4 1

It ends here, Sapphire! No more! No more souls!

Hunt for Wolverine: Mystery in Madripoor Vol 1 4

And I never felt that way toward Kwannon's body, only mine. It was so much easier to be kinder to myself... through her body. I did not struggle with my eating disorder when I looked like her. Because she is not me, and she is beautiful. ⚞SIGH⚟ Anyway, my point is that I don't miss anything about the old ways.

Are you through? Next time you're fearfully obsessing over me, save me a trip and just think your hateful thoughts. I can sense them from paradise, where I live. I serve the queen. And in times of crisis in the Otherworld, she trusts my judgment over her own.

Excalibur Vol 4 4

We are not his. We are our own, and I am Otherworld's true defender. Surrender, Morgan Le Fay.

Excalibur Vol 4 6

Well, the ritual is changed now. I'm not letting you kill it. Do what you do best. Adapt. You've been so eager to show all of Krakoa your virtues. Show us this one.

Excalibur Vol 4 8

I'm sorry to hear that, my lady -- because I'm the only Captain Britain you've got.

Excalibur Vol 4 11

I'm sorry-- Kwannon-- I--

Excalibur Vol 4 17

It's a fresh start. No one can promise it won't hurt like hell... but I've certainly had enough of my own. This one is yours.

Excalibur Vol 4 20

You're Arthur? King Arthur? How stupid the legends are. You're just a man. And you've forgotten why you fear my kind. I don't need this Citadel's power to stop you. I never have.

Excalibur Vol 4 25

The Corps are fighting for the unconquered Citadel and Lady Saturnyne, who stayed within. And that's what this blade is made of. All the power of the Citadel-- hngh-- And it's all that's left untouched by Merlyn. I was given it-- --to lead the Captain Britain Corps.

Though I should say, the quest will be deeply personal and test each of our souls.

They think they can spin it all from Downing Street. But they've forgotten that in politics... there are times one's called to knock on some doors. And the first door up is sure to get people's attention.

This pool is a dimensional nexus. Otherworld's magic—which I can still manipulate as Captain Britain—touches all nexus points.

X-Force Vol 7 4

Hello, #$@#. Remember what I said about my sword and your guts? I bloody meant it.

X-Force Vol 7 7

That's right. Because pain goes away. Just like this hurt will. So just remember -- all pain is only temporary, okay? No hurt lasts forever.

Elizabeth Braddock (Earth-616)

Sheriff Whitechapel. A pleasure. You'll forgive us--there isn't a place to check in.

Giada Whitechapel (Otherworld)

You're a poison. You wanted us to be X-Men... but you also wanted us to be the Hellfire Club and X-Force and the blasted Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. You wanted it all, and it cost those around you everything.

X-Men (Magneto) (Earth-616)

Braddock Manor, my ancestral home. We-we're in England.

Braddock Manor

I rummaged through your wardrobe – hope you don't mind. Now, what is this?

Don't tell me, several years as an X-Man can't have dulled your musical taste that much?

It's been fun, 'Von. Weird, but fun!

You've been great, Betsy. Both as a partner and as a friend!

Wow.

You were expecting a McDonald's, Ms. Braddock?

Who could have done something like that to us -- and why?!

The answer to that one darling Elisabeth, my old friend... is more than happy to extend a helping hand... or six!

Aren't we obligated to whine and fret and come up with one reason after another why we shouldn't be together?

Of course. And I should reveal I'm your uncle's clone from another reality... and you're supposed to die and come back to life a few dozen times.

Nicely done, Pixie. Now get out of here before someone sees--

Sihal novarum chinoth!

Right.

I'll let you keep your feelings, Freddy, if you answer one question for me.

Wh-whuh -- ⚞AHEM⚟ -- what?

Does it still hurt?

Sorry, are those... rainbow... butterflies?

Bit on the nose, Rach--
