{Enter Strange from Sanctum Sanctorum}
"Well, well, well," said a tired voice from just to the left of where the King of the Vampires lay, "What do we have here? A tragic victim of unfortunate circumstance?"

Dracula could sense the immense magic power of this individual, and now that he was close up, he recognised the unique energy signature of the sorcerer supreme... Strange. He thought Damn that b*****d wizard and all his family! Then psychically, he sent out a distress call. "Please! you must aid me! I'm under attack by a wicked sorcerer! I think he means to kill me! You must help me NOW!" Dracula pleaded.

Alcina giggled and made her way into the room towards him. "It's alright. You didn't stumble upon anything you weren't supposed to." she said, giving him a smile. "My friend could probably care less if anyone else watched. He has his mind on other things and usually won't bother with such details. He was just having a conversation." she continued, then paused in front of him to look him up and down. "I must say your 'suit' is quite interesting. I'm Alcina, by the way."

Strange's eyebrows went up. "Oh, my. That's a bit insulting, actually. My family? That was uncalled for." He yawned, not so much an insulting gesture as an honest to goodness expression of exhaustion. What to do... Probably easiest to just burn him to a crisp. Suddenly he blinked and turned toward a strange power signature. Who on earth...

"Oh good, we don't like fighting uninteresting fights that don't have an emotional or dramatic build up, then they're just boring! We're Greed, but alone one of us is Aleksei and the other has no name without Aleksei, but we call that one Symbiote by itself. Our suit is combined with very tough polymers, multiplied by one of our abilities to increase strength and toughen material, that being Symbiote. Before, one of us was Rhino, but now we're Greed! You need something for Greed to do or are you just interested in us? We like fans, though we don't make many due to our annoying nature and our tendency to eat civilians occasionally...We hope Spiderman doesn't grudge against us for this human remains we regurgitated...Speaking of which, watch your step downstairs."
Greed liked this one since Pixie didn't have an interest in him at all, just a disgust, but he liked being disgusted too since it was funny to annoy Pixie. This woman was hopefully not disgusted by what Greed did since Greed did do a lot of disgusting things that involved gluttony and occasionally greed. Greed had to make room downstairs for all this loot he was acquiring and it was just bones by now; Greed had absorbed what nutrition was left in those remains awhile after he re-devoured them.

Alcina gave him another smile. "Oh, no. At the moment I'm just interested. Though if I do need anything, I'll be sure to find you again. I'm used to seeing the, I believe they call it 'Blood', and your symbiote is similar to it. Yet very different. Your habbits are a bit interesting as well." she said.
And she was rather amused with this creature. Her son was safe for the moment, and X was doing his thing so she didn't have much to do other than meet some people before things got ugly. If she found anyone she liked, she would usually try and spare them from the usual outcome, or make what time was left for them worthwhile.

Dracula thought desperately "Please! Your fondest wishes! They could be reality! I can bestow eternal life!"

"Oh, cut it out," Strange said irritably. "You got staked, and then you were foolish enough to bring yourself to my attention-- quite loudly, I might add. It is an unfortunate truth that dumb often equates with dead." He raised his hands and opened his mouth to burn the vampire to a crisp.

Dracula had one last card to play. "Look me in the eye then, coward." Dracula taunted, "Can you look another man in the eye and take his life? I don't think you have the stomach for it..."

Strange actually laughed. "Spare me the theatrics, please. You're already dead for all intents and purposes, and we both know it." Still... he had stopped, even if it was only to address the statement.

"Oh yes, those things...We don't like them; it was bad enough Venom and his seeds are hanging around, but we don't like others like us around; we are very territorial when it comes to Earth...You like our habits? That's a first, everyone is disgusted with our apparent tendencies to eat anything we can take a bite or swallow whole...Don't take that in a wrong way...This world is at least PG-16...Ow, head hurts...That happens occasionally too, no clue why...What do you do? Play with mortal views and opinions to make interesting events? Like a web spinner of darkness?"
Greed just had a feeling anyone tied with Reaper that was pretty had to be some deceitful witch, which Greed would love to have as a friend since that would be the best kind to have. She would include him in all of her cool schemes and maybe Greed could finish off loose ends that didn’t contribute to the web of lies; that was Greed's idea of awesome. Though that would only be in dreams; the friends he had now were often disgusted with him and probably didn't view him as a friend. Just then, Greed realized how kind of alnoe he was; he did have two creatures as one as his personality.

"Look me in the eye..." Dracula repeated "Watch the light fade from my eyes, and ask yourself, who is the monster? Who murders out of neccesity to feed and who does so simply because the other is nailed to the ground? We both know I'm twice the warrior you are, were I not staked, you would not dare confront me."

"That's a ploy to get me to pull out the pencil and have a fair fight, right?" Strange asked dully, "Clever. We both also know that I would win in a fair fight as well; you'd take off like a bat out of hell.... Possibly literally. By the way... A pencil? How the hell did that happen?"

"Let me up and I'll tell you." Dracula said drylly.

"Right," Strange said darkly, "That's going to happen. Farewell, King of the Undead; I wish you eternal peace." Again, he prepared to set the vampire on fire. He wanted to sleep, dammit!
