For Raiden No guards whatsoever so Blue can do whatever he wants with Raiden's mind. Reading Raiden will show that his patina of self confidence and swagger does not run deep. Beneath it is pain, uncertainty, anger and instinct. Looking into his memories would show that Raiden was a brutal child soldier in the First Liberian Civil War. He killed soldiers, men, women, civilians, POWs, other children, anything he was pointed at and he was taught to enjoy it. He was taught to enjoy it a lot. In his own words he got off on cutting his enemies to shreds. This has pretty much ruined his sense of judgment and ability to properly function as an adult and this bloodlust and killing instinct is something Raiden tries very hard to repress. He's afraid of that part of himself and has spent so much of his adult life running from it and denying it that he developed an unrecognized form of dissociative amnesia in his twenties (he regained his memories when he was 26 which caused him to become a heavy drinker and violent alcoholic until he was modded into a cyborg against his will). He is taken from a canon point where this flamboyant psychosis is bubbling just beneath the surface of his mind at all times. Blue could probably sense that.
Illusions wont work if Raiden is using his visual analyzers or AR visors since the scanners would see straight through illusions to what's actually there.
telepathic communication: Raiden once had a military AI talking into his mind via nanomachines in his brain so he'd probably freak out over it at first. He'd have no way of replying without being taught how.
For Dante Dante has some mental guards from being a half demon but if Blue really wanted to peek he could. He'd see that Dante is actually a more thoughtful and emotional person than he pretends to be. Fighting demons means he's learned to to not express fear, anger, hatred and anguish. If he did the demons would corrupt him or he'd fall to his own darker half. Looking into his memories would show mostly the death of his mother, since that tends to be at the top of his angst list. Long story short, Blue would be able to see that Dante really IS childish, arrogant and a bit of a rockstar but he'd also see that he has depths that he purposefully keeps hidden.
Illusions may or may not work depending on their use! Unlike Raiden, Dante can't see through them automatically but he HAS trained himself to see through illusions used by demons.
telepathic communication might confuse or startle him at first but as long as it isn't intrusive Dante might find it amusing and try to respond. He can't talk psychicly, though, best he might manage is sending Blue bursts of color or images instead of "words" or complete thoughts.
