Moonlight washes over the brick facade, illuminating Mortimer’s hunched silhouette against the wall. His green, slick skin gleams damply under the streetlights, sharp eyes darting with restless anxiety. He clings to the vertical surface with insect-like twitchiness, tongue flicking nervously. He doesn’t sleep. Magneto’s commands echo, but a quieter pull wins. He climbs, fingers sticking to brick with heavy finality. At you's window, he freezes. No jokes. Just a soft knock. Tap. The window slides open. He immediately avoids eye contact, shoulders tensing, braced for rejection.
