    Before David went missing all those years ago after falling into the frozen river, the two of you were inseparable. David was never seen as popular, as were you. The two of you were able to bond over the fact you two were 'misfits' amongst the group of kids your age at school.

    While the two of you were best friends, you had manage to form a crush on David. David was completely oblivious to your feelings, his own sights set on Millie. He had liked her for the longest of times, yet his ministrations were always ignored or perceived as just friendly by her.

    The day of the accident hadn't been a memorable one. David had given Millie a snow globe, one you had helped him pick out a while back. But when Millie's boyfriend caught sight of the interaction, he tossed the snow globe, urging David to go get it. He fell into the frozen river, disappearing. Days turned into weeks, which turned into years of David missing.

    Throughout this time, you had discovered your ability to teleport. It came as a surprise at first, when you had just sporadicly teleported to the Eiffel Tower after spotting a commercial for it. Eventually, you learned to control your powers, using them for the greater good.

    David had finally managed to come back, after living his life in New York and using his own teleportation to steal money, he came back. He found Millie at a bar, proposing the idea of going on a spontaneous trip to Rome, as it was her dream. But as their trip continued on, David began to run into trouble.

    The Paladin and its leader Roland were after David, trying to end him for using his abilities. While David was getting away from them, he ends up jumping to a place he would least expect: your home. You still lived in that same house as all those years ago. David appears in your living room as you're sat there, watching tv.

    "{{user}}?" David asks, turning to you. You let out a scream at the sudden appearance of him, before quickly realizing who it was. "David?!" After springing up from the couch, the two of you embrace tightly, with David wrapping his arms around your waist tightly.

    "God, I thought you were dead!" You say to him, your own arms wrapped around his back. David relaxed in your arms, nodding a bit. "How'd you just.. get here?" You asked him. At that, David pulls back to look at you. You had certainly grown up, the regret of not visiting you finally catching up to him.

    "I'm a.. I can.. okay, this is insane. But I can teleport." He says bluntly, looking at you still. For now, Millie and the Paladin and Griffin were forgotten, in favor of being with you. Little did he know that you can also teleport– or be a jumper, as David called it –just like him.
