After looking at the contract, Magneto glanced sideways at Charles Xavier, his expression unreadable.

With a nod of subtle agreement, Charles spoke first,"We've discussed this among ourselves. We decided to change the location, instead of original Brotherhood base, the wards need to be created around the Xavier's mansion. Not just to protect us from current threats but as a failsafe for what's to come."

The magical group exchanged glances, processing the weight behind the professor's words. Beside Harry, Daphne Greengrass leaned slightly forward, her voice calm but businesslike.

Daphne Greengrass said,"That's quite a broad request. If you want a complete suite of defensive wards, we'll need to know the topography, energy signatures, magical resonance, and structural composition—especially if mutant powers might interfere with enchantments. Can we see a view of the mansion and its surroundings?"

Nova gave a subtle hand gesture, and the Omni-Dex's holographic interface shifted. The projection flickered, then expanded into a full three-dimensional display of the Xavier Mansion and its grounds—complete with active life markers and aura detection overlays.

The magical group's eyes widened slightly.

They saw mutants across the grounds—some in training fields, others walking in gardens or sitting by a shimmering lake. A young girl phased through a tree as if it wasn't there. Two boys were levitating debris, hurling them at each other in a game of reflexes. Near the greenhouse, someone split into multiple copies of themselves. It was a vibrant, chaotic dance of power.

Hermione Granger(softly, impressed)," This place is huge. Almost as large as Hogwarts. It will be quite difficult and resource extensive to built wards that cover the entire mansion."

Daphne continued," We'll need at least three anchor cores—possibly more—to distribute the warding net evenly. Defensive wards can't collapse inward if there's a energy, your mutant energy or something, shockwave from inside."

Magneto nodded and asked," You mentioned defense. Define what level of protection your wards can offer."

Daphne nodded, her posture straightening as she responded. "At the highest tier, we can render the entire mansion undetectable to both magical and non-magical surveillance. That includes anti-telepathy barriers, spatial restriction, intrusion-triggered illusions, kinetic repulsion charms etc."

Pietro looked impressed and asked,"Sounds like a headache. Can it handle, say, a supersonic entrance through the west wall?"

Hermione answered," If we reinforce the barrier with runes with effects of kinetic dampeners and a reactive defense pulse? Yes. You'd bounce off like a fly hitting glass."

Charles asked," And magical interference? Can it block hostile spellcasters? Altough they may not be magical here but who knows?"

This time Astoria answered," If someone tries to teleport in or cast from afar, the wards will deflect or misdirect the spell. We'll also include blood recognition—allowing only trusted individuals to enter freely or other with permission."

Charles spoke again, his tone kind but firm. "And how would this affect the minds of our residents? We have children here—some still learning to control their powers."

Hermione answered," We can inscribe the psychic buffer runes into the mansion's outer shell instead of inside. That way, it blocks external psychic interference but doesn't suppress anything internally. No mental disruption."

Magneto folded his arms, thoughtful. After a while he asked," This won't be cheap. What's your price?"

Finally it's his turn to speak, Harry Potter said "You listed two reward options. We chose Option One—mutant support. Not now, but during the war we're about to fight. When we call, the Brotherhood will stand with us."

Magneto,"You ask a lot for defense work."

Daphne raised her eyebrows," You're asking for the kind of security that can shield you from magical and those muggle means. These wards will make your sanctuary untouchable. If you want us to stake our lives on its creation, we expect the same in return when it's our lives on the line."

There was silence for a beat.

Then, Magneto slowly nodded, turning to Xavier, who gave him a slight smile of agreement.

"Done. The Brotherhood will offer its hand when the time comes."

Charles also smiled and said," And so will the X-Men. If you wish but not for free. We can trade items and technology. Afterall your magical people ignore tech too much. Altough tech doesn't work around magic, I am sure can work around it."

Nova who was slient till now commented," Hey I am the trader here, so if you want support ask me. I will supply people or anything."

Logan muttered, "Yeah, and you'll charge triple for it, bub."

There was a ripple of chuckles across the room—some dry, some amused. Even Magneto allowed the corner of his mouth to twitch, though his arms remained crossed and stern.

Nova grinned and replied casually, "Triple if you're annoying. Double if you bleed on the merchandise."

Hermione tilted her head, amused. "He's not kidding. He actually invoices bloodstains."

Daphne smiled and said. "Jokes aside, we'll begin as soon as we've done a resonance scan of the area. We'll map out the leyline intersections, ambient mutant flux, and electromagnetic distortion fields. Once the anchor cores are positioned, warding can begin."

Xavier nodded slowly. "The children must remain safe during this process. No disruptions. If you need anything cleared or temporarily vacated, inform us in advance."

Astoria gave a reassuring nod. " Don't worry the people who work come will be discreet. The first few days will just be calibration work—nothing flashy. Once the cores are stable, they begin layering the protective spells."

Magneto added, "And how long will this take?"

Hermione replied, "Four days for full coverage. Six if the underground levels have shielding or enchantment conflicts. They will work in shifts."

Suddenly Jean Grey asked," Since you are from different world, it means those workers will be traveling to our world?"

Everybody turned to look at Nova, who nodded," Yes, they will travel to our world and will live in Xavier mansion, during the project. So you mutant group have to take care of their accomodations."

Charles nodded," There are plenty of extra rooms and more than enough food supply here. But can you tell, how many people will come?"

Hearing this, Hermione frowned," Am not really sure, but at least 20 magical will come."

Thinking of something, Mystique asked," Umm they will be coming to our world and will be seeing us mutants for first time. So won't it cause any problems?.."

Nova shook his head," You all don't have to worry about it, they will be signing magical contract, whose terms will be secrecy, work claus, etc."

After a while, he continued," So any more problem? If so we can discuss it now."

Magical group and Mutant group looked at each other and shook there head. Charles said," Currently we don't have any problem. But we get any important points, we can discuss it later."

Nova nodded,"Alright, them I will create a group chat, which will be mutant group and magical group. If you need anything, just message there.

And with this 'Iron Veil Protocol' is officially underway."

On the Omni-Dex, the quest status updated:

STATUS: IN PROGRESS

ETA TO COMPLETION: 5 DAYS (ESTIMATED)

Logan exhaled a breath through his nose. "Let's just hope this fancy magic net holds when the real monsters come knocking."

Nova turned and winked. "That's the idea, Logan. When the monsters knock… they bounce."
