oo. i like this! i had this idea that his family moved to nyc when he was fairly young and so maybe she was the first friend he made when they got there? and then when she moved, he stayed in contact because he is terrible at making friends and he missed her.
i'd love for them to have reconnected recently and she be the first person he tells that he has powers. like 'this might be bad timing, but i took this syringe full of science juice and now i'm super strong and fast and can walk on walls. so. how was the beach?'
