Raidou is not himself telepathic, but he has over twenty demon familiars at his disposal, and several of them are telepathic and will attempt to read his mind right back. As they are demons/angels/gods/Horsemen of the Apocalypse/Dante/et cetera, their thought processes will likely be pretty alien, with special mention going to Oboroguruma (insane demonic car wHO tALkS lIke THiS and thinks in word salad), Orochi (eight heads), and possibly Alice (homicidally unstable lolidemon). The demons probably won't be visible to Charles, unless things are very different in the movieverse, but at least two of them will be out with Raidou (three if you count Dante), and Raidou will be carrying the rest of them around with him in confinement tubes, so feel free to have Charles at least sense their presence.
Raidou himself has some ability to shield himself if he detects a mental intrusion.
Minako is relatively normal, but she does have twelve personae in her head at any given time; I'm not sure how that would read to a telepath. She is also [dead, and serves as the Great Seal preventing humanity's collective nihilism from allowing one eldritch abomination to summon another eldritch abomination to wipe out humanity].
Reid is also relatively normal, for certain highly idiosyncratic definitions of normal. I suspect the main issue for Xavier where Reid is concerned may be the sheer volume of information in his head, a not insignificant percentage of which revolves around grisly murders. I'm also sort of wondering if attempting to read Reid's mind while he's reading would give him some sort of psychic motion sickness.
...And belatedly, it occurs to me that attempting to talk to Reid telepathically is potentially a very bad idea given his family history, even if it is Charles Xavier (whom I'm assuming Reid has at least a passing familiarity with via the comics). He will not react well to disembodied voices in his head. Not that it wouldn't be interesting to play out at some point, but... idk.
