Ship of Fools: A Taylor Varga Omake (Complete)

Thank you. Interesting progression.

Only found one possible mistake:

"With that, Thor and Dr. Strange too their leave" =>
"With that, Thor and Dr. Strange took their leave"
 
The chat with Q was a bit.. Cold? I know his chatting with big v as a higher powers deal. But wouldnt Taylor chime in that his opinion is both relevant and something they would be interested in?

I didn't think that was a chat with Varga, I thought it was a chat with the "higher power" that gave Varga to Taylor? Granted I mostly thought this because the text wasn't Varga's color, but I would think Varga would have been mentioned by name if he was the one talking?

Check out Chapter 1 of Taylor Varga. We've seen that text color before.
 
Suggests that they can grab Amanda after Ripley leaves, and bring her to her mother, without paradox problems.
Oooor they go to just before she dies of old age, replace her body with a clone like they did with sherrel, and then de-age her and bring her to Ellen.

Actually that sounds basically like what you're saying I think...

I don't think Q was talking to Varga. I think it was the being above Varga who's the reason Varga and Taylor were joined.
 
"That is guaranteed. You worry too much, Q. You should believe in your charges more, as do I."
Erwin needed an extra pint for that conversation. Wonder if he put it on Q's tab. :whistle:
You got also to remember that one of Loki's children was Sleipnir, which was a 7(?) footed horse, and Loki had turned into a mare to have him.
Sleipnir was 8-legged. Supposedly, it was the representation of the legs of the 4 traditional pall bearers that transported the deceased to their funeral pyre.
 
Taylor awoke from her catnap as the ship powered down from another dimensional jump. She'd slept through the last few jumps, the adrenaline from the previous hops tiring her out. Stepping into the refresher, Taylor quickly scrubbed the sleep from her eyes, then blinked a few times to make sure she wasn't imagining the image in the mirror. The first thing she noticed was that everything around her seemed to have shifted into new, more vibrant colors.
The second was that she too had changed appearances. Oh, she still looked like herself, but she now looked like someone had taken a bunch of pastel paints to her person. Even her new superhero uniform that Saurail had whipped up, had gone from it's dark grey color to something more... child friendly.
Taylor tapped the communicator, "Um, this is Taylor. Can anyone tell why my super-suit is now green, and animated?"
 
Also, Odin's eight legged horse, Sleipnir is the child of loki when he took the form of a mare, so in that case, loki is Sleipnir's mother.
 
A Protective Father
"now Thor, you don't mind me calling you Thor, I mean you ARE asking to date my daughter after all."

Thor nodded hastily , not wanting to offend the Padrone.. he had heard in the Meade halls of Asgard the power that this seemingly slight man held, with the backing of armies of warriors, all ..Unionized.. He had heard in his youth, his father Odin cursing over the losses that had been suffered at the hands of The Unions, and wanted nothing of that.. He stood silent in front of Danny Hebert's desk, wondering if he should sit or stand.. decided to stand..

"Well son, what are your intentions toward my daughter, what do you have to offer her?"

'Well, I'm very rich, she would never want for anything.."

Danny smiled 'she has matter creation ability, she can create anything she wants with a blink of an eye..

"I can provide her with a palace with hundreds of servants.."he trailed off as Danny quirked an eyebrow at him..

"have a seat, " he gestured as he smiled..
Thor sat and he placed Mjollnier on the floor between his feet.

"I am just being a father, Thor, I want my child to be safe and be happy...you probably know just as well as I do that Taylor is capable of protecting herself from anything short of a star going nova, and she would probably use the shock wave to surf across the universe.." Thor almost opened his mouth to speak of a certain Silver Surfer he had met once..but decided it wasn't relevant..

"Have you been married before? I know you are older than you look"
Thor sighed.."over the millennia I have had several
relationships, some I chose, some were thrust upon me.. Lady Jane Foster, Sif , a goddess of war.. which my father chose for me. others..." he sighed again. With Sif I was father to Modi, my son and Thrud , my daughter.."

"Why Taylor?" Danny interrupted, "she is a child next to you, on that basis alone I should say no.."

Thor sighed and took off his helmet, and sat it on the chair next to him.
he was quiet for a moment..and sat back. "The heart wants what it wants..it is not something one can control"

Danny sat quietly for a moment considering his next words..

" she is close to the Family ..They are very protective of Taylor, you know."
Thor nodded. "I have stood against Jörmungandr and survived.."
Danny shocked the thunder god when he leaned back in his chair and laughed.. "You actually think you could stand a chance against the Family? sure Kaiju is big, Imihebi is three times her size.. but even with your powers you wouldn't beat even Saurial.. if that girl got an idea you had hurt Taylor, she would make you eat your hammer.." and his face turned impassive

"And then it would be my turn.." he let that sink in for a moment..

"This is why I am going to ask you to leave Taylor alone..because you have children with multiple women
because there is too much age difference, and finally because as you said earlier, "the heart wants what it wants" and truthfully, based on that you are not good enough for my Daughter.."

Thor angrily stood, electric crackling off his fingers, his hammer flying to his hand.. was about to speak and froze, no movement at all, no breathing, the only thing he could do is move his eyes.. where in his peripheral vision saw Ianthe fade into view, a touch of her hand on his bare skin, using her particular power to disconnect most of his nervous system..

Danny stood and stepped out from behind his desk and faced up to the Norse deity.
"Son, the mistake you made here is this: 'you say the heart wants what it wants'..the truth is your heart must want for your heart to want what the others' heart wants.
"So if at some time in the future, you should want Taylor to be happy ahead of your own wants and needs. "
"Now, here take your hat" he lifted the helmet and plonked it on the taller man's head "and depart from here.. until you change your thinking she won't want to have anything to do with you. Sorry" Danny nodded to |Ianthe who released the Norseman's entrapment..and stepped aside. The electric snapping and popping subsided as he turned without a word and walked slowly past he three silent lizard girls and Taylor ..who had apparently been there the whole time.

he walked out the front door of the DWU offices and stood in the yard for a a moment while all around there were eyes looking..judging..
he lifted his hammer to the sky and a lightning strike and enormous clap of thunder, he was gone, a small whirlwind where he had stood, whisking a bit of dust away.


this Omake based on a comment I saw somewhere,.,
 
A Jealous Rival
I'm pretty sure it was the SG1 Thor interested in Saurial...

The throne room of Asgard was in Chaos. Guards ran hither and yon on various errands. Heimdall stood by the throne, discussing the defense of Asgard with Odin. Thor rushed to his father's side.

"Father, what is happening? What foe besieges us?"

Odin looked at Thor disapprovingly. "My son, what have you done?"

Thor looked in shock at his father. "I...I know not of what you speak?"

Just then, a hologram appeared in the midst of the room. A tall, gray figure cloaked in a long robe of a satin-like material stood there.

'People of the Asgard of this dimension. In my reality, I am Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet. These are our ships which surround your realm. Who among you claims my name?'

Thor strode forward until he was standing in front of the hologram. "I am Thor, son of Odin and Prince of Asgard. Why do you come here with bared weapons?"

The gray figure examined him closely, eyes narrowing over black irises. 'Son of Odin, tell me. Do you seek the hand of the Lady Saurial?'

"Nay, I say. I did speak to the father of the fair Taylor. He sent me from Midgard, claiming that I was unworthy of her. Never did I say anything about the warrior Saurial." Thor missed Heimdall and Odin glancing at each other. Heimdall rolled his eyes a little.

'He sent you from Midgard? You accepted this?' asked the holographic alien.

"I...had no choice in the matter," replied Thor ashamedly.

The alien turned to gaze at the one-eyed lord of Asgard. 'Lord Odin, I apologize for this misunderstanding. Our fleets shall leave you be.' With that, the hologram disappeared.

Thor turned to look at his father. "Father, what was this about?"

"Thor, I have a mission for you. I need you to track down Surtur. I have seen portents of Ragnarok!" Odin's face was stern.

"What? Now? How can that be?" asked Thor, confused.

"Do you refuse my bidding?" asked Thor's father.

Thor just stood for a moment, mouth agape. "No, of course not! I...I shall ready to leave at once!" With that, he turned and strode quickly from the throne room.

"Ragnarok?" asked Heimdall. "I have seen nothing of this."

Odin shook his head. "The best way to keep my son occupied is to send him off on an impossible quest. You remember his last girlfriend? The mortal infested with the Aether? Now he brings a battle fleet knocking on our door. And here I thought Loki had the strangest relationships. I swear one of those two boys will be the death of me..."
