[Oh hey it's shakycam time. Though whether it's because the Gear is being held by a rather small creature finding it hard to stabilize the camera or because of the GROUND SHAKING, well, you'll have to decide for yourself.

The tail end of an Onix falls into view, slamming into the ground and causing another jolt in the camera, which pans up to the giant rock snake's equally giant head--all 22 feet of somehow living stone rearing up and staring down at...

Thor. Who's grinning madly, hair wild around his head, bracing himself for...oh shit the Onix is lunging is he not going to move?

Nope. Instead of splatting, or even screaming in terror, Thor's hands meet the Onix's face--he twists and forces the snout to the ground. And then he laughs.]

I have bested you again, my friend, though I fear tis only because you allow it.

[There's some good-natured grumbling from the Onix as Thor rubs one of the ridges above its eyes.]

Perhaps someday I will be able to offer more of a challenge for you.

[The camera falls, landing on its side half-propped up in the grass, as an enthusiastic Pichu wearing a red bandana cape leaps out from behind it, squeaking and attaching itself to the Onix's horn, then a blue paw covers the video before it cuts out.]

I am led to believe it is not an entirely uncommon circumstance. For instance, one of my companions has lost a great measure of his strength as well.

[Laughter.]

No, tis my nature, and that of all Asgardians.

["No, he's a Breeder, so it'd be a Breeder Cape. I think."]

I suppose it is. And what of Calvin? How did you come by that name?

[Conversations with little kids = fun, right?]

In time, I may do just that.

[...not that grappling a giant monster isn't an every-other-Tuesday occurrence for him.]

My own has been well worth the investment. He is quite STRONG.

[Silly Thor, you don't grapple the GIANT monsters, you just punch their heads off.]

May I inquire where you encountered your own beast?

Asgardian? ...What is that?

I'm just...trying to grasp the fact that someone that strong can exist...

[Steve wants to help him, but he can only slightly understand, he's not lost nearly as much as Thor by coming here]

What you are has been changed, it would be hard to adjust, but maybe look at it not as what you lost but what of your limits have changed. Relearn them and challenge them as you would have before. Not as if this is something to just get used to, but just another challenge to overcome.

[he has no idea if that helps, it's how he's been gong about what he's lost, so he hopes it will help, oh but an idea strikes him, and he smiles]

Would you like to train with me? I've been working on increasing my stamina and strength since arriving. We could spar, even go full on fight. I know it's not a solution, but I won't go easy on you.

[...don't ever tell Ishimaru this, he'll have a coronary. As it is, he's honestly kind of fascinated with this entire display despite himself.]

So you...fight with your Pokémon often? Just directly, like that?

We're gonna have to agree to disagree there.

Right, battling the forces of evil. That's another standard one. Like what, the antichrist?

[he makes an encouraging gesture] All right, go ahead. Show me some lightning magic.

Giants, mainly, and the odd dark elf raiding party. Those who did not understand that Midgard was under Asgardian protection.

[Oh, would that he could.]

I cannot. Those abilities, along with a great measure of my strength and stamina. Were I in full posession of my abilities, it would be I restraining my strength in this bout.

We haven't gone too far with those yet. No one really bothers traveling beyong the Mars colonies, and that only takes a few weeks.

[And it's not like many people travel to the Mars colonies in the first place, other than Vagan.]

But what if he broke a nail? Or a horn, or whatever it has? Would you dare be responsible for such an uncouth blemish on his beauty?

Just as I am sure he dare be responsible for the possibility of breaking one of my limbs.

[...pretty sure the giant rock snake just snorted.]

They are more intelligent than mere beasts, are they not? He is capable of informing me when he has had enough.

[flatly] Elves.

You are way too old for Dungeons and Dragons.

Convenient coincidence there, just happening to not have any proof.

[He still was strong enough not to get crushed by a rocksnake, though...]

Not particularly, though I did have to weaken him enough to catch myself.

[Thor scratches the Onix's head affectionately.]

The bulk of my team consists of the type they refer to as 'electric', they were not effective.

[Also REALLY SMALL.]

[Where's the sport in that :I]

In the area of this realm known as Union Cave.

[Weird name but hey he ain't gonna judge.]

My people. Those of the realm of Asgard. Tis another world, removed from Earth.

[be prepared for more brain breakage.]

I may rank among the strongest of Asgardians, however my people as a whole are far and away stronger than the people of Earth.

[Yes, he's implying there's a whole race of guys like him.]

You speak truly.

[He's still not used to actually...needing to stop and rest.]

It would be beneficial to both of us. We cannot afford to let our training lapse, after all.

[Not after the Chitauri mess. Hogod. Thor grins.]

Though judging from the reactions I have received to this display thus far, perhaps we should not make it known. I have never been scolded for fighting before.

[Oh Rarity, he still Does Not Get It.]

One is never 'too old' to do battle with a dragon.

[...yep he has totally taken you literally.]

Not a lucky one, mind.

Well, you're in a hell of a lot better shape than the standard nerd with all the weird-shaped dice, that's for sure.

Funny how the magic powers always go away when you look at them too long, or the aliens packed up all the evidence. Or God doesn't like to talk when anybody's listening.

Or, perhaps, it is a peculiar aspect of this realm that not even the strongest man can escape.

Truly, I do not understand your skepticism. Surely you have seen many strange things since your arrival here. What is one more taken on faith until such time as it can be proved?

[Jane and Darcy took him mostly at his word, and Erik had eventually accepted the truth of things, though admittedly Thor didn't think he truly believed until Sif and the Warriors Three came knocking. Are all Midgardian men so stubborn?]

That's...if I hadn't just seen what you did there with that Onix, I'd call you insane.

!!! You're an alien?
