Jupiter de-transformed, turning back to normal Makoto, while Magneto simply took his helmet off. As he was a good person well known in this world anyway, the mutant master of magnetism was likely to be welcomed in the Black Knight's - a part-time Avenger - home. As for Bowser, there was little he could do short of transformation, so he simply turned himself into a large man with red hair and a small yet thick beard, just as orange-red as the rest of his hair, wearing a dark brown three-pieces business suit and black shoes.
"Welcome to Castle Garret", a friendly, balding old man in a butler's outfit said upon opening the large front door. "If you would be so kind as to follow me inside, I will lead you to my master and his current guests."

"Sure thing." She said leading the group of five inside. (I assume Rhino is still with us?)

(OOC: Yeah, but there's nothing he could do to look less-threatening, lol.)
The group was led through the corridors and stairways of the magnificent old fortress up to a large door which the butler opened for them.
"Please get in, my master is waiting for you."
He stepped aside, bowing down and letting them into... a beautifully decorated lounge with a mini-bar, a fireplace, a large television on a wall with two large couches, a few reclining chairs and other comfortable seating devices, along with a table with a few platters of food and beverages.
Waiting for them were three individuals. A shoulder-length, brown-haired man wearing a white buttoned shirt and black jeans along with white socks, all of which seemed of good quality yet very simple. An older man in a wheelchair, bald yet with a gaze keener than a sword, with a patient and kind expression, wearing a three-pieces suit. And finally, a young, beautiful woman with golden-blond hair in a white sweater, red pants and white flats.
"Ah... welcome. Ms. Heartfilia, is that correct? ...I'm Dane Whitman, master of this castle", the brown-haired man said. "Allow me to introduce you to my other guests... professor Charles Xavier, and Ms. Illyana Rasputin." He also nodded at Magneto, who returned it.

"Hello there, I presume you must have some important business to discuss if you agreed to meet with me so readily." She said.

"That's correct. Your arrival wasn't exactly expected, but it sure has a good timing", Whitman said, amused.
"Allow me to explain", Xavier said, nodding. "Illyana here is one of my students at my School for Gifted Youngsters. Interestingly enough, she is both a very powerful mutant, and a sorceress with fantastic potential. In the plane of Limbo, her magic is basically absolute. She is said plane's Sorceress Supreme", he explained. "However, in the normal world, her powers are diminished... lowered. She has a harder time controlling them, and mastering them. I fear that while I am quite capable of helping my students with mutant powers... magical abilities are rather outside my usual field of knowledge. Now... you, however..."

"I see, well we can certainly help with that." Lucy said smiling.

"You'd take me along with you?" Illyana asked, hopeful.

"Of course, the Guild could always use another cutie." She joked. "Just teasing, but I'm positive we can help you. Our world's magics are not that different according to Max here." She said letting Magneto's real name slip.

"With all due respect, guildmater, I would much rather be referred to as Erik. Max is... a name I'd rather leave behind. Too many bad memories", he said with a kind yet bitter smile.
"Well... if you would welcome me in your ranks, I would gladly join you", Magik said gratefully. "I will do my best to be useful to you."
"You have my thanks, as well", Xavier said. "If you ever find yourself in need of powerful friends, feel free to visit my school. I'm confident I will be able to assist you."

"If you insist Erik. Magneto was a bit of a silly name to keep using anyway." She said.
"Well if that is taken care of, I don't suppose you have a spare power lance I can procure?" She asked Dane as she shuddered sensing a strong mystic presence nearby, and not a very good one either.
(Feel free to follow up on that or not. I'm not sure what the status is of the blade in question in this verse or even if it is here. I just felt like throwing it in as a suggestion)

(OOC: Sure, why not?)
Lensherr raised an eyebrow, but didn't respond.
"Why yes, in fact, I do", Whitman said, before pausing when he noticed her expression. "Is... something the matter?"

"I sense a magical presence in this Castle... a Very malevolent one." She said.

"You must be sensing the Ebony Blade", Whitman explained as he got up to open a locked cabinet close by, pulling out a Power Lance. "It is a very powerful, cursed sword. It's very dangerous. Protecting it is part of my duties."
He walked back to the group, handing over the Power Lance to her.
"...Don't worry though. It can't do anything bad as long as I keep it safe."

"I see, I will be sure to take your word for it." She said attempting to store the Lance away.
1 in Requip the Gunner to store away the lance.

Lucy easily managed to store away the weapon.
"I have friends in high places should a foe I can't handle oppose me", he promised.
