Yeah, but the rule in this particular universe is that "magic" is done through what Thor's race, the Asgardians, left behind when they left Earth. So is Thor, who is not exactly an intellectual giant, still more experienced with magic than humans who don't understand the underlying principles but have been studying the devices for generations?

[protective_logic]

Well... Underlying principles are important...

[baruthumos]

Yes, but I'm not sure Thor understands them either.

[protective_logic]

Then we're agreed?

[Please?]

[baruthumos]

Yes. They should invite Dr. Strange onto the team. Even if it might get confusing.

[protective_logic]

What team? Who is Dr. Strange?

[baruthumos]

Dr. Strange is the Supreme Sorcerer. But it might be confusing because he looks like Tony Stark, he's a doctor like Bruce Banner, and he's a Stephan like Steve Rogers.

That's not entirely true. Dr. Banner has a Ph.D. and Dr. Strange is a neurosurgeon.

[protective_logic]

Well that does sound problematic.

[Is it though?]

[baruthumos]

You can't call him Steve and you can't call him Doctor and you can't even call him Strange because the stuff they get into is so bizarre. It would be like Maine calling me Bullet.

[protective_logic]

Is there a reason to call you Bullet?

[baruthumos]

Nope. He doesn't really call me anything.

[protective_logic]

Don't mercs have names or something?

[baruthumos]

Yes. I don't really have one yet. Think I can convince them to call me the Incredible Hulk?

[protective_logic]

I don't think so at all.

[baruthumos]

What about Xena, Warrior Princess?

[protective_logic]

How about a name that is only yours?

[baruthumos]

Got any suggestions?

[protective_logic]

Well, you're a medic who also fights, right?

[baruthumos]

Right...

[protective_logic]

Paean was an ancient Greek god who was the physician to the gods. Maybe make something based on that?

[baruthumos]

Nobody else has the name of a deity. And now both you and Sigma are trying to get me to take one. What's up with that?

[protective_logic]

Do you know that no one has that kind of name? But okay, never mind. Just looking for meaning.

[baruthumos]

Well, Tex isn't Pallas Athena or The Morrigan. She's just the Soldier. Because she's good enough that she doesn't need an epic namesake.

[protective_logic]

Pretty sure from what she says that the name came from whoever trained her.

[baruthumos]

Oh. Think she'd give me another name?
