[...this...is bad. This conversation is so bad and the reason it's bad is because Luke doesn't seem to outwardly discount any of that. In fact, he almost appears thoughtful as he listens. Being a hero...Annabeth had said he'd died a hero. Annabeth said he'd go to Elysium. People here are saying he can be a hero and be good. But before that...he'd hurt a lot of people, too. He'd helped kill people. He'd done a lot of dirty work to get to where he is, and if he'd hesitated to kill Kronos (and himself, really), Olympus would have been destroyed.

It's all a matter of choice and...yeah. Who says you can't be a murderer and still be a hero? He doesn't say any of this out loud of course because he's not that much of a tool, but he's absolutely just giving Jack the most blank look of understanding.

Gods, somebody help him.]

...demigods are usually put on the road to being heroes. Some of them just don't live long enough to see it all the way through. [It's all he says before he narrows his eyes. Being betrayed by people he trusts? Yeah, that's familiar too.]

Let me ask you something. Isn't there another way to eliminate them and prevent their betrayal without immediately killing them?
