He used the time machine to undo the scars, and make Jogsaw's face normal again.
15 sup-eff in healing to undo the scars on Jigsaw's face.

The criminal stood there almost in shock, running his fingers om his face almost in disbelief. After a moment, he nodded, said a simple "Thanks. All yours", he said, turning around and heading out.
...Leaving Masque alone, and sighing. "...Hmph. I hate to admit it... but I don't have anything to stop you with, do I?" she said, as both the flash grenade and the gas from earlier had done zilch to either of the brothers... let alone the .50 caliber bullets from Jigsaw's machinegun. "Tch... alright. You win", she grumbled, stepping aside.

(If you'll allow it. I'd like to take a Deadly Enemies (Maggia) challange for screwing up their operation this badly, and killing one of their family heads. You can decide how many stones it's worth.)
"Better luck next time lil' lady." He smirked before strolling inside.
9 stones in Int to assess what we found.

(OOC: Normally, it'd be a bit higher, but in your case this is will be worth -3. They aren't nearly as much a threat to you as they could be to most other people, lol. They do have quite a bit of resources however, so they can still be a pain in the butt.)
"Silence", Masque retorted dryly.
"Man, i think she likes ya", James joked as they got in the room. Inside were:
Three orange, slightly glowing balls with a few black stars in each.
Two red iris eyeballs with three comma-like symbols on said irises, safely kept in a chemical compound in a jar.
A red bracer for one's forearm, otherwise plain-looking and showing no other distinction.
A large jar of water.
Half a dozen of orbs of various colors.
A dark metal cylinder with a few buttons, seemingly of highly advanced tech level.
And finally, a single, small vial of purple liquid.

"Interesting... I recognize the Dragonballs, and the Sharingan eyes." He said. "The orbs I think Tifa told me a bit about them... Not sure what everything else is... Hold on... Let me call in an expert." He said dialing someone who could help in this case.
"Calling the Merchant to come over, and appraise these items.)

"Beats me, so far", James said, shrugging.
The old man was by their side in an instant as though he'd been standing in the corner the whole time.
"Ah, yes, hello, Mr. Howlet. Good day. How may I be of service?" he said, walking up to them.
"What do you know about those things? We already know about the balls things and the eyes, but what of the rest?" James asked.
"Hm. Let me see", the bearded man said, observing the items with curiosity. "...Interesting. You have several valuable items here. The curved cylinder here is the lightsaber of the Sith Lord known as Darth Bane, a surprisingly powerful weapon with a unique characteristic in that it is almost weightless, making it both very dangerous to an unexperienced duelist, and extremely lethal and effective in the hands of a skilled one. Here... the purple liquid is a Grimoire in vial form, holding power allowing whoever drinks it to possess someone else, leaving no body behind, and accessing the target's memories, thoughts and emotions with ease, which makes it perfect for infiltration and very much safe", he explained.
"The jar of water holds water form the Chinese Cursed Spring of Byakko, in which, according to legend, a giant white tiger wielding powers related to the Chinese element of metal drowned a long time ago. One who is splashed with its contents will transform into such a beast upon contact with cold water, and back to normal with hot water."
He finally pointed at the bracer. "...And finally, a red Kämpfer bracer. I believe you have already seen a blue one at your home, worn by the one known as Natsuru Seno. It is a rare type, however. Normally, a single Kämpfer is of one of three types. Zauber, who wield magic, Gewehr, who manifest some sort of firearm to fight, and Schwert, who wield bladed weapons. This bracer combines all three types in one. Only one of both blue and red colors exist in the universe."

Travis nodded and clipped the saber to his belt. "Well those all sound pretty kickass." He admitted. "Hey James, you don't mind if I take these? Or would you rather I use the gauntlet to duplicate them so we can both have the spoils?"
If James doesn't object, I will chug the grimiore, and splash the water on myself. Followed by slapping on the bracelet.
If he does. I will spend 20 sup-eff stones in reality warp to duplicate the objects in question so James can have a set too. I already plan on letting him have the eyes.

"I suppose I don't really mind. I do have the Cosmic Cube", he pointed out, shrugging. "Though... you already have Sharingan eyes, don't you?" he asked. "Or did you want to give them to someone else in the mansion?"
Travis proceeded to drink the Grimoire, feeling its mystical power wash through his body, granting him a new ability. He then proceeded with splashing himself with the Cursed water... but was unable to put on the Kämpfer bracelet. Because it was kinda hard to do so as he now stood a full 12' high white tiger with yellow eyes.
"Holy sh*t you're big."
(OOC: Also, if you try to talk normally, you will find out you can only make noises a tiger normally could, such as hissing, growling, sorta meowing, and so on. You can likely use various powers to do so magically or psychically, but your new Byakko form isn't able to talk physically speaking.)

"Yeah, I figure you can have them." He said only to roar a bit as he transformed. "Okay. That certainly works." He said telepathically as he conjured some water to turn back.
5 stones sup-eff in Telepathy to communicate with James.
5 stones sup-eff in reality warp to splash myself with hot water to turn human again.
also putting on the bracelet now myself.

"You look awesome, big cat", James said, grinning, as his bro turned back to his normal - albeit quite wet - self, before putting on the red bracer, which closed itself magically, resizing itself to make itself fully comfortable to his wrist.

"Thanks." He said. "Not sure if it'll get the Maggia off our backs. But perhaps a little peace offering will get them to stand down for now." He said creating and leaving a softball-sized gold nugget on the floor before swallowing up the rest of the loot. "Thanks Merchant, sorry I brought you all the way out here not to buy anything. Here take a few hundred thousand as compensation." He said paying him next.
1 stone in Mastery of Metal to create some gold...
1 stone in GoB to take the remaining loot save the eyes for myself.

(OOC: You might need to do a little more than this for the gold you created to remain permanently, if you truly wish to leave it to them for good. Matter created via a Mastery's Create/Manipulate option, like other Masteries - without Unlimited Create/Manipulate anyway - are not permanent naturally. They usually last depending how many stones you put in Duration upon creating them, but in the case of your Mastery of Metal, I'm having them last 10 panels beyond that, like Mastery of Ice, if I'm not mistaken. At any rate, if you wish to make that gold permanent, a little use of your Infinity Gauntlet, or spending some XP to improve the Mastery to Unlimited Create/Manipulate, or something similar, would be necessary.)
"I wouldn't bet the farm on it", James said with a smile, "but hey, it's the thought that counts. Thanks", he added, putting away the eyes.
"It was a pleasure, as always, Mr. Howlet", the merchant said, nodding as he gladly accepted the money. "I personally consider the trade of information as part of the business, however, so you did buy something, if it makes you feel better", he said half-jokingly.
"You done in there? Now get off of our ship", Madame Masque requested dryly.

(I think I'll let it vanish. Justifies the challange more.)
"Right." He said teleporting back home.
9 sup-eff into teleportation to bring myself and James home.

(OOC: For some reason, it makes it even funnier. XD)
Travis and James reappeared back in one of the mansion's lounges.
"Man, that merchant guy is about the biggest weirdo I've ever seen. It's like he's always there, but not there at once, only showing up when someone calls him", he noted, frowning. "...So... anyway. You have an idea how to, um, put those on, preferably without it hurting like hell and making sure they're usuable as normal afterwards?" he asked, patting the jar with the eyes in it in his hand. "Magic? Or maybe the best doc we have?"

"Well I coukd use spafial manipulation to swap them for your eyes, but James... are you sure thats what you want? Remember what our Mom said about our purple eyes. They were a symbol of our royal blood." He said. "To just give them up entirely is a bit sacrilege don't you think?" He asked. Mentally sumkoning Henrietta, as well as Mikoto, ad Sakura Haruno to assist if he did decide to go through with it.
10 stones sup-eff in telepathy to sumkon the three to come and consult with us on this.
