I really like this scenario of their first meeting! It creates a really new kind of protective dynamic, without the somewhat overly-dramatic he-saved-my-life-36-hours-after-meeting-me situation that the movie gave us. (yes, I did love Bryan Singer's script, but ya gotta admit ... it was over-the-top in some aspects! It felt like cheating, b/c they didn't get to know each other in the way ppl normally do. This way, they can become friends the slow and steady way like everyone else has to do, yet you give them a valid reason to still have a 'connection')
