Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story except the idea. That means I don't own Jiemi or Reinosu... well, not THIS Reinosu, since I do have a model of it, so I own A Reinosu... or Generation X (hehehe... I finally put in the name of what this is crossed over with...
Note: I do not agree with Scott Lobdell regressing Jubilee in age to 13 1/2 when he put her in Generation X, so I'm having her age about 15, which is what it had been before then. I'm also putting Jiemi about 15 (he's 14 in the show, so this is just closer to his birthday).
What has gone before:
Jiemi was piloting Reinosu and a storm came up, and he got hit by lightning, and Reinosu disappeared. He was found, unconsious, by Jubilee and Generation X.
~~~~~
Jubilee paced outside the infirmary, waiting for the boy they'd found to wake up. Sean and Beast had already checked him over, and he seemed fine. They just had to wait either until he woke up or until Emma returned, to see if there was any damage to his mind.
"Ye can go get some sleep, lass, if ye want," Sean had told Jubilee. She had declined. Hank had said that it was probably for the best, anyway, since she was the only one the pilot had seen. Jubilee could see the reasoning in that, but that wasn't why she wanted to stay. Some strange feeling had led her straight to him, and she wanted to know what it was. Besides, she thought, ya can't fault the boy for his style... well, other than that weird yellow vest... He reminds me of, well, me!
~~~~~
Upstairs, an attractive young woman with shoulder length blond hair had arrived at the Academy, and was discussing the situation with Sean and Hank.
"There doesn't seem to be any major damage," she told the men, "although... what?"
"Emma, what is it?" Sean asked.
"He seems to have two sets of brainwaves. They're very similar, although just different enough for me to tell that they're different."
"Could this have been caused by the accident?" Hank inquired.
"I doubt it. Do either of you know if the boy is a mutant?"
Sean shook his head. "Jubilee did mention that she felt drawn to the boy, though," Hank told her. "We know that Jubilee has shown evidence of latent telepathic ability, so she may have been drawn to him by that."
Emma nodded. "I guess we'll just have to wait until he wakes up, then."

When Jiemi opened his eyes, he closed them quickly at the bright light, groaning slightly. He had no clue where he was. He remembered a girl in a forest, and then he had blanked out. He struggled to get into a sitting position, but his body didn't seem to want to respond.
"You're awake?" he heard a voice say near him. Jiemi turned his head and saw the girl he had seen from Reinosu's cockpit.
"Who are you?" he asked weakly.
"The name's Jubilation Lee, but most just call me Jubilee. You?"
"Jiemi Hemerosu. What's going on? Where am I?"
"Well, we found you out in a forest near here. You'd crashed in that flying contraption you were in."
Jiemi somehow found some hidden strength and shot straight into a sitting position. "Reinosu! Where is it? How badly damaged is it?"
"Your... Reinosu?... whatever, it's fine. It's pretty badly beat up, but we brought it in anyway. We had to keep it out of the military's hands, at least. Anyway, we brought you back to our school. You're in the infirmary."
Jiemi nodded. "I need to get back to my team. We have a battle coming up soon, and I have to finish working out our strategy."
"Battle? Is that what that... thing is for?" Jiemi nodded. "Where are you from? Does it have to do with the military? I've never heard of anything like that before."
"Military? No... And where on Zi have you been all your life if you've never heard of Zoid battles?"
"Zoids? What are you talking about? Where on Earth is 'Zi?'"
"Earth? What's 'Earth?'"
"This planet." Jubilee was starting to sound annoyed.
"But isn't this planet Zi?" Jiemi was sounding very confused.
"No..." Things started to click for Jubilee. "I think I get it. You must be from another planet or dimension or something, and crash landed here."
Jiemi looked at her confused. "I was just flying Reinosu, and then a electrical storm popped up, and a lightning bolt struck me right after I broke the sound barrier."
"Hmm... an intriguing dilemma, and I believe that that probably is the best theory that we currently have available to us," a voice said from the doorway.
Jiemi and Jubilee looked toward the door, and saw a man and a woman, and a blue, furry creature, standing there.
"Gaah!" Jiemi yelled, both startled by their sudden arrival, and by the speaker's appearance.
"Jiemi, chill. These are the teachs," Jubilee told him. "The blond's Emma Frost..." she leaned close and whispered, "We just call her 'Frostbite.'" She got louder again, and continued her introductions. "The Irish is Sean Cassidy. The two of them run the school. The bouncing blue furball is Hank McCoy, also known as the lovable Beast. Don't let his appearance scare ya, he's fine."
Jiemi nodded. "I'm Jiemi Hemerosu. Thank you for helping me. I don't want to be a burden for you, but do you know how to get me home?"
The three adults looked at each other. "Given the fact that we're not entirely certain how ye got here, lad, it may take us a while to get ye home. But ye're free to stay here for as long as ye need. Ye have no need to worry about us turning you out onto the street," Sean told him.
"I am certain that you will also wish to repair your aircraft. We can also provide you with facilities and supplies, if you wish," Emma continued.
"Thank you very much," Jiemi replied, "but could I be alone for a while?"
Sean nodded. "We'll get a guest room prepared for you, and I'll send Jubilee down here later to take you there. If the doctor has given you a good bill of health?"
Beast looked up from the monitors he was checking. "You appear to be perfectly healthy, Jiemi. I see no reason you need to stay in the infirmary."
With that, Jubilee and the adults left the room, leaving Jiemi to think about hs current situation.

Well, I hope that you guys like this so far (if anyone is even reading this... **sniffsniff** no one reviews any of my stories... I have a total of 3 right now, and two of them are 1-word replies for a GW humor fluff I wrote). I haven't decided yet if I'm gonna give Jiemi any powers... they'll be subtle, though, if I do. Any comments either way?
