"Oh, I heard the news." Beast replied to Heidi, nodding his head in respect to her. "I'm glad you're all okay."

There was little else to say before the door had opened to reveal the bestial form that lay behind the door. Hank had already been aware of the young man that was Jurgen Johnson but seeing another so much like him in person was a sight for sore eyes. He knew mutants came in all shapes and sizes, but it was always a nice change when someone who looked a little less human showed up to the mansion. 

Jurgen seemed just as overjoyed to see Hank, as Hank did to see him, as he responded with vigor and haste. "Likewise, Mister Johnson." He stepped aside to allow the young man to enter. "Let's get you set up and shown around as quickly as possible. Dinner will be starting soon, and I'm sure you have a big day of meeting everyone tomorrow."

Emma let out a strange laugh. She tried her hardest to keep it from snooty, but it ended up being a strange and jovial huff of air instead. "Maybe." She looked around. "I once ran the Massachusetts Academy, before it was torn to the ground." Her voice dropped low and quiet, remembering how she was once in Xavier's shoes. It really turned her mind around, living beings all looking to her for hope and refuge. It was all gone now, set ablaze and turned to ash. What was left of her student body was scrambled across the globe for safety. "Not that you would have known, I did do a good job of staying dead for a few decades." Out came a more authentic laugh.

"I was brought here because a trade was agreed upon. I speak to you, assist Xavier, and in turn, Xavier help me find my warlocks, and the rest of my students." To say that Xavier initially agreed upon the deal was a lie. Booker had set it up, and Xavier only agreed after reworking it to not feel cheated on either side.

They reached Booker's office, and Emma used her limited telekensis to unlock the door, waving her hand past to open it fully. A lone hand invited Rosemary inside, where Emma sat down in Booker's leather office chair and offered Rosemary a seat. "If I might ask, how did you arrive at the mansion? Were you asked by the Professor, or maybe you sought refuge?"
