November 2020

November was occupied predominantly by the abrupt arrival of potential "children" of various residents from an alternate future. They had come in pursuit of their world's Topaz, who had fallen into darkness and was aiming to go back in time to prevent the loss of her parents. A trap was set using Avalon and Topaz' doppleganger was dealt with - permanently.

Following these events, a number of individuals expressed interest in becoming X-Men, taking advantage of Garrison Kane's re-certification drive to begin their training.
