two mini essays
Right, two issues that I kinda need to address here.
1. Brainiac
Virgil's run in with Evil!Brainiac was anything but pleasant. Brainiac tried to kill Static and Gear, then mind-controlled Gear, set the League on Static, tried to kill them again, tried to destroy the world and nearly caused the League to kill Richie. The last bit was the biggest issue with Virgil. He takes any attack on his friends very seriously, so seriously that sometimes even when it's not that said person's fault, Virgil will refuse to listen. (Not that he'll attack Brainiac Five. He's pretty sure that they're not the same person now). BUT should Evil!Brainiac somehow turn up in camp and suddenly become a good guy, Virgil wouldn't give a damn. He would go after Brainiac and MAKE HIM PAY.
Virgil can be very unforgiving when it comes to Richie and his family.
2. Bang Babies in Dakota
Ever since the Big Bang, Dakota was forever changed. Meta-human attacks are incredibly common. Criminals, runaways are either reported or ignored. The Big Bang affected all of Dakota. Often it's the kids who run away, unsure of their new powers and changes that either turn criminal or just hide away from family and friends. Virgil wants to help all of them. He understands that he was one of the lucky ones and some of the kids are having a harder time than he is. Unfortunately, most of them don't want Static's help. This bugs Virgil a lot. He wants to help, but can't. Which is why he was so insistent in helping Shin with his ability.
