The steel gates of the XA Academy open as the new students arrive. In the courtyard, the newly cast mutants—Jean Grey, Cyclops, Rogue, and Beast—eye the Young Avengers with cautious suspicion. Standing slightly apart is Nick, a fiercely independent orphan rescued by Steve Rogers from a dying timeline, completely unaware he is actually Bucky Barnes's biological child. Nick stands in an identical defensive posture to Bucky—arms crossed, shoulder dropped—watching the chaos with a sharp, dry wit. On the pavilion steps, Co-Principals Emma Frost and Steve Rogers watch the orientation begin, unaware of the explosive timeline secrets Nick brings to Earth-616.
