I agree, it's stupid, and from what we know of virgil's character, he'd more likely say "screw you, I don't need a mentor" than partner up with black lightning. And we don't know for sure that they will be partnered up. they could just meet up and virgil regects him, or something else. that picture doesn't show definitively that they are partners.
