The crossover will take place on 2 January
"On the eve of the celebration, the professor is found dead of an apparent suicide, though his former students immediately suspect foul play.
"While investigating the prof’s past, the agents uncover a mysterious hitman, and the more they dig into it, the bigger the targets on their backs become. When members of the teams are suddenly kidnapped, all the agents must come together to take down the assassin and save their own."
