Angelo was contacted in short order, and nearly flew into a panic. Miss Charlotte, a daughter of Magneto(!) was wandering around a major American city without protection! Personal standards and a sense of duty prevented him from giving in to that panic.
Immediately, multi-tasking ensued. Researching a shopping list for dinner took secondary concern to confirming a safe landing zone. It wasn't like going to a safehouse back home, or returning to the Consulate, he had to have as absolutely clear an image of his destination as possible, and it was new to him. Satellite imagery, street views, and publicly available city records and, in this case, restaurant listings, were a godsend. He also retrieved a roll of unmarked bills, tucking them into a pocket.
Los Angeles was far enough away that he wouldn't be able to turn on the proverbial dime and jump back, but it would be less severe than the New York to Genosha trip. Once he's confident in his preparations, and having been doubly sure to hydrate and nourish himself, he joins his sister.
"Everything is ready." He extended a hand.
