Flying was, in all honesty, the most amazing thing that his father had taught him. Even if he enjoyed the other abilities that he had too. Super hearing being one of them, x-ray vision (that one could get scary), and super strength. All of that and a few others were rather great. It was part of his alien heritage. He does, however, hate that they didn't have the Fortress of Solitude within Madison Valley. Not that he knows where they'd even put it. Even more so if it allowed him to see his grandmother. He preferred her over his grandfather.
Actually, it wasn't obvious that Peter was new in Madison. He just knows that he'd recognize a face like his. Or even someone like him. Even more so when there weren't many who could fly. Jordan wasn't even sure who could or couldn't fly when it came to Madison Valley. He knew that his father could and he was trying, along with his father, to teach Conner. His adopted brother had some of the same abilities he had after all.
"I've been here about three months, it isn't bad."
It helped that his mother and father were there though.
