 * Plot**

The new teachers of Academy X gather for the wedding of Bastienne and Jessica. The X-Men appear via hologram to congratulate the couple and wish the west coast teachers luck in their first school year. The next day, the teachers are welcoming the new and returning students to the school when a girl appears in a flash of light. She has dyed strawberry blonde hair, wears a leather jacket, jeans with chains, and is covered with dirt and injuries. She says, “they’re coming!” and, moments later, three Doombots appear in the same flash of light. Jessica, Lucius, and Ruth get the students to safety while the teachers defeat the robots. During the fight, a freshman named Cameron joins the combat against orders and reveals himself to be incredibly powerful for his age. Following the melee, the girl introduces herself as Dagan. She is a 14 year old mutant with the ability to cover herself in armor made of light or to fire light blasts. She says she is from the future (2025) and she is excited to see her “mommies” – Bastienne and Jessica! But she also reveals that her parents are actually Dane and Meghan! Dagan says that she was raised by Bastienne and Jessica following Meghan's death since Dane was gone hunting for Meghan's killer. Years later, she participated in the battle to defeat Victorious, but was in imminent danger. Billy sent her back in time to save her. She also tells the teachers to train Cameron because his skills will be needed in the future. Later in the day, Dane and Sam secretly run a DNA test that reveals that Dagan is actually the daughter of Meghan and *David*. What does this mean?...
