"I haven't," he said carefully. "I...maybe I talked to Leo on the network, but I kind of try to keep away from heroes. I'm sure you can understand why. Romans...well, I haven't had a lot of contact with any of them, but I can't imagine they'd be any better. They're pretty violent, as things go."
If someone looked monstrous, then they needed to die. That was how heroes thought, and they acted on it whenever they could. They weren't the smartest creatures in the world, demigods. And Deuce definitely looked monstrous, even if he covered the snakes and his eyes to keep people from freaking out.
