Hmmmm.....
I am an advocate of starting at the beginning, mostly because as a reader I hate it when stories in AUs jump around. I lose track of what's happening and what people's relationships are, and it's just confusing.
So I would start at the beginning. Now that's not necessarily the VERY beginning of the history of your AU, but the history of the G-Force characters. What was the first time any of them ever had an inkling of what was going on? Based on what you've said already, I'm guessing that it's Mark, when he visited Riga and first learned of his telepathic abilities. So why not tell a story from his POV, about his discovery of those powers, and how he developed them?
If you want, you could have a prologue detailing the five children who were sent away from Riga toward Earth, or a little prequel story about how Anderson came to adopt the kids.
The reader will understand what is happening in your AU if you explain it AS the team discovers what's happening. Have the reader live the discoveries with Mark and the others, and then they will understand.
Is this making sense?
Obviously you have a LOT of material here, and that is what is overwhelming you. Start with one little story, and see what you come up with. You don't have to explain the whole universe at once, KWIM?
