At first, Ro thought Virgil was an okay guy, sort of a geek but not as much as some she'd run into. But... something was kind of off about him. She wasn't sure what. A little bit of it had to do with the fact that he's a nice guy (and she tends to be initially suspicious of unwarranted niceness which is why I hope Chuck asks for an impression), some of it had to do with the confusion over identities, and some of it had to do with the fact that he seemed bizarrely familiar, more so in costume. I doubt Ro is all that well versed in superheroes of her time, but I'd wager she's heard of Static, and while she didn't consciously connect the two then it was still kind of weird talking to a teenage superhero who's NOT a teenager when you come from.
Now that Zeta's spilled the beans, Ro is probably going to be a little more comfortable around Virgil-- because that explained pretty much most of the weirdness, and her limited experiences with superheroes (Batman) have been pretty good. I'm not so sure how she's going to handle knowing the secret (part of me thinks it'd be hilarious if she tried to pretend she didn't know only to get caught out anyway, but I'm not sure if that's IC). Pretty sure it won't make her treat him any differently if the way she snarked at Terry in "Countdown" was any indication, but it's pushed Virgil over into the trustworthy category. Which maybe less than half a dozen people in camp fall into at this point.
tl;dr Virgil is cool in Ro's book. Still a bit of a geek, though. wow I need caffeine.
