Trusting Only Yourself (for Nightcrawler)
After the first twenty four hours in the home of people he'd sworn enmity to decades ago, Wyngarde had calmed enough that he no longer needed to be smoking at all times. A show and a solid night of sleep had certainly helped that, but he also respected the students' fragile lungs enough to move himself outside or back up to his room to smoke. Enjoying the brisk breeze as it swirled the ash from the Silk Cuts around his head, dusting the shoulders of his trench coat, he watched a few of the students play basketball on the court beside the school. He looked a little wistful, if anyone took the time to notice the emotion buried under the cool, collected exterior that his lean face offered.
He was still becoming accustomed to the fact that he was, for all appearances, in his early thirties, rather than late seventies that he'd been when he last was conscious of his own existence. For what it was worth, it appeared as though that was more than a decade ago, in some of the dimensions that his housemates had travelled from. To many of them, if they'd know him or a version of himself at all, he'd been dead for years.
Twisting a heavy ring around his right ring finger, he let his weight settle on the edge of a heavy concrete planter, stretching his long legs out in front of him and crossing them at the ankle. He'd asked Mr. Wagner to meet him there at the teleporter's early convenience, in an effort not only to earn himself some modicum of trust with one of the few X-Men that he'd had little to no direct dealing with (and wasn't immediately affected by his more nefarious and infamous activities) but also to retrieve some of the money and belongings that he could only assume he (or a version of himself) had stashed in this dimension. Mr. Wagner was above and beyond the fastest way to do both of these things.
New York City would have to be the first stop, and only a short trip from Westchester, would be by far the easiest of his potential stashes.
