"A little bit...maybe. But I haven't exactly seen you go all out." Who knew what kind of powers these people possessed. He'd learned some, but there had been a lot of new Transports lately so he hadn't gotten around to investigating everyone's powers or seeing them fight.
He shrugged, "More or less. It was called New Rome. It may be hard to believe but Rome didn't completely vanish after its fall. Some members of the legion survived and carried on Jupiter's will to continue the legacy. Right now there's a small encampment and city in California called Camp Jupiter...that's where I'm from. I was a soldier, the praetor of the legion actually." He wasn't sure how easily Raven would accept it, but he was being truthful. It wasn't like he could MAKE this stuff up.
Raven had a point. Wars were not always won with brute force or even numbers. He nodded, "I was thinking of something along those lines. I have the mark of Rome," he held out his arm and showed her the tattoo there: SPQR, 12 lines, and the eagle, "Not to mention I might carry some weight if I can get them to accept that I am the son of Jupiter." That wouldn't be difficult either, given that he WAS the son of Jupiter and had the abilities to prove it. "It's just a matter of getting enough people to AGREE to this plan. I don't want to let the transports down either."
He nodded, "I hope I've made enough allies here. Although a few more never hurt." He smiled at Raven. He knew where she was going with this.
