Things could be called equalised in this realm, those that arrive without powers are granted them or discover them shortly after arrival, but that's not true. It isn't equal. Nowhere is, really. No newcomer is ever going to be as strong as, say, an Asgardian.

... I propose a match. A game of Bifrost in Central City park at [ insert midday on some weekend ic-ly, ]. Two teams, red and green. A smaller bunch of people are picked to be the Bifrost Guardians and they stand in the middle of the playing field, the other team has to make it across to the other side without being caught, if they do they have to join the Guardians and be absorbed into the other team. That makes it tougher for the remaining folks on their next run to the opposite side. The game ends when everyone is one colour, then everyone swaps roles.

No magic allowed in order to level the playing-field, so to speak, but natural strength is of course going to be a big factor so those with superhuman strength will be divided.

Sign ups here! I am the captain of green. The winning team gets a free brunch together, paid for by me.

I am preparing you for your opponent. I have fought beside her before; I thought I might offer you some insight.

[ikols]

Goatshit, you want to throwdown and play too. I know you do.

[hevenly]

Ah, but perhaps I prefer taking a page out of your book and denying you that pleasure out of spite.

[ikols]

You are too good to pretend to do anything I would.

[hevenly]

No, the Odinson is too good. I am simply too concerned with reciprocity.

[ She tilts her head casually. ]

What will you give me, if I play?

[ikols]

My respect.

[hevenly]

Have I not already earned this?

[ikols]

It would go up.

[hevenly]

[ Her realized eyebrow shows what she thinks of that offer. ]

If I play your game, you will owe me a favor of my choosing.

[ikols]

[ That sounds like a terrible idea. ]

... Very well.

[ He's in. ]
