Black beetle vs kaldur,DUN DUN DUN.......crossing my fingers that we get some answers with this timeskip thing We have no idea whether virgil and Jaime are getting mentors. Green isn't necessarily his mentor (and Blue actually has more experience working with his scarab that green does, green was never off line), and that one image of Virgil with Black Lightning could mean anything. I personally think that they're throwing us a red herring and that Virgil is going to tell Black Lightning where he can shove his offer. And I'm speculating that green dies (see the giant decomposing head image, which is probably green) and that blue gets put back on mode (we see black tampering with his scarab in one image, and in another, is armor is darker than normal, closer to the color in the future). And I'm pretty sure that the events during the timeskip were partially covered by the comics, and are going to be futher covered by the video game. Don't quote me on this, but I think that Greg said that they were going to leave the events of the timeskip ambiguous in the show/not cover them here.

You're applying way more strength to Virgil's independance then has actually been shown. Arsenal, Asami, Tye, Eduardo, they've all demonstrated a lack of interest or gratification from the hero life or manipulation. Virgil has practically been desperately clammering to get into it.

Virgil's the weakest member of the runaways ultimately. I'm unsurprised given the character he was based on.
