Hello. I will admit, Emilia's encounter with the scavengers was a bit stupid. Sorry about that. I just really wanted to type a fight scene.

Well besides that, I've got nothing else to say.

"Come on! We're almost there!" Ruiko says, pointing at the mall just about a block away.

Mikoto, Ruiko, Kazari, and Emilia decided to come shopping as planned yesterday. Emilia rubbed her eyes sleepily from staying awake overnight. Before Emilia realized it, the colorful building was already in front of them.

"So Shrai-san said she couldn't come huh?" Kazari said, walking a bit faster so she could be at Ruiko's side.

"Yep, she said she had to do more investigating on the graviton bombings." Mikoto replied.

Once they arrived at the mall, Ruiko ran ahead of the rest of the girls in excitement. "Over here! Hurry!" She cheered, waving her hand, signalling the three girls to hurry up.

"Is there something you're looking for, you two?" Mikoto asked Kazari and Emilia, ignoring Ruiko's order to hurry up.

"Not really, thank you." Kazari said politely.

"Nah."

Ruiko continued to run forward, towards a store that sells underwear. "Uiharu!" Ruiko waved her hand. "Come here for a sec."

Kazari shyly came to Ruiko's side. "W-what is it Saten?"

Ruiko held out a pair of panties. "Ta-da! What about these?"

Kazari immediately blushed at the question. "W-wha? No way, No way!" She says shaking her head and hands vigorously. "I could never wear something like that!"

"You shouldn't, considering my roommate's strange fetish of flipping skirts." Emilia commented.

Ruiko frowned. "Why are you calling it a fetish anyway?"

"Saten, why can't you flip your roommate's skirt instead?" Kazari said, still flustered.

Ruiko grinned and scratched the back of her head. "I have, but all she did was stare at me with this disgusted look. Your reaction is way cuter."

"Well Ruiko, Misaka, is there anything you're looking for?" Emilia said, rubbing her eyes.

"No, not really." They said in unison.

"Then what was the point of coming here?" Emilia said, allowing her limbs to hang. She sighed in confusion. "Guess I'll go home. Cya."

Mikoto looked surprised. "Do you not know what going to a mall is for? It's about looking for things that you might be interested in!"

"I couldn't care less." Emilia said, about to leave. She was tired, and she really wanted to go to sleep.

Mikoto tried to make a last ditch effort to get Emilia to stay. "Well… I could go for some pajamas, then we could go grab some ice cream!"

Emilia sighed. "I guess I'll stay for a little longer." She said, much to Mikoto's joy.

"Well, follow me!" Kanzari said in relief. She took a right, heading deeper into the mall.

As the four walked through a hallway, Emilia saw many different types of PJs that were for sale. Whenever it is black, white, small, large, or onesies.

"I've looked around but I can't find any good ones." Mikoto said. Suddenly, Mikoto stopped to see a pink, childish looking set with flower shaped spots all over. She looked at it in awe. To Emilia's eyes, she clearly wanted it.

"Hey Uiharu, look at those." Ruiko said, pointing at the set on display Mikoto was looking at.

"No one would be interested in something so childish. I think I wore one of those in elementary school." Kanzari added.

Mikoto looked shocked. Not wanting to be mocked by her friends, she agrees. "Yeah! There's no way a middle school would be interested in something like this!"

Emilia took the set of pajamas. "I think my cousin would like these." She turned around to wink at Mikoto.

"I didn't know you had a cousin." Kazari said. "It's so thoughtful of you to be buying something for your cousin!"

"Yeah, I can't imagine someone like you being interested in something like this." Ruiko added.

Emilia continued to walk forward, until she met walking along with a little girl. Mikoto was stunned.

"W-w-w-what are you doing here?!" Mikoto yelled. With her raising her voice this loud, she already caught the attention of 4 other shoppers minding their business.

"What, am I not supposed to be here?" The boys asked in confusion, he tilted his head.

"Onee-chan, who are those people?" The little girl asked.

Noticing the attention Mikoto was causing, Emilia quickly dragged Mikoto further into the area with pajamas. She gestured to Touma to come as well.

"Well, now it's a bit quiet. I didn't know you had a sister."

"Nice to meet you Todoroki-san! She isn't really my sister, I was just keeping her accompany and she started to call me that." His face lit up. "Well anyway, it's nice to meet you Todoroki-san!"

"Call me Emilia."

"Sure, Emilia. I think I've got to go."

Mikoto jumped in front of Emilia. "Hey! We still aren't done with our last fight yet! Let's go!"

Touma looked around. "I think I'll pass. Won't a fight damage all the property here?"

Mikoto opened her mouth, but was at a loss of words. Emilia sighed and rolled her eyes. "Well, goodbye." Emilia said flatly.

"See you." Touma said.

Emilia and Mikoto were suddenly met by Kazari.

"There's going to be a graviton bombing in this mall! Please evacuate this place." Kazari said in a serious tone.

"Got it." Mikoto nodded. "Emilia, leave the place. I'll get the others to evacuate."

Emilia calmly walked out of the mall. The judgement members would handle the rest. Suddenly, Emilia remembered the blunder a Judgement member made that cost her friends lifes. She gritted her teeth. It's not like I can do anything about it either. Or… I could catch the culprit. It won't directly protect my friends, but it'll empty Judgement's hands more for evacuating my friends.

After finally making her decision, she ran straight out the side door. It wasn't crowded there. She shut her eyes for a moment and analyzed for any suspicious people walking out the building. There was one person leaving straight for a dark alley. That gave it away, why would anyone walk away? They would want to stay and check the commotion to see what's going on. His speed was a little too slow and calm too. Emilia waited in the dark alley to meet this guy in person.

There he was. He had a pair of glasses and a pair of headphones, walking with a smile with what he caused.

"So it's you huh? I was honestly expecting someone a little more sinister to cause multiple graviton bombings." Emilia said. She was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

The guy looked shocked. "H-How did you know?"

"Any person who tries to escape a crime scene would usually pass through here. Your smile gave it away too."

"Y-You bitch! What are you going to do? You're just a little girl!" The guy pulled out a knife on Emilia.

"Why don't you stop yammering and come at me already?"

Enraged, the guy charged forward with his knife. He raised the knife with his right hand, to prepare for a stabbing motion towards Emilia.

Of course, Emilia predicted this. Her experience in the dark side made it too easy.

She simply stepped to the side and grabbed her opponent's wrist. She immediately pulled it over her shoulder and threw her opponent to the ground.

He got up. "Why, you!" He charged at Emilia once again, about to make a slashing motion.

Emilia ducked and kicked his shins, causing him to fall forward towards her. She then punched his falling face, causing him to fall on the side and drop his knife.

She kicked the knife further away from the guy and began to drag him out the dark alley.

"Well done Todoroki-san." Kuroko said. She was out the alley with Mikoto, smiling.

Emilia sighed. She should have expected someone would witness her fight. "You saw?"

"Yes. You know, you have some skills. Do you want to join Jud-"

"Not interested."

"Come on, at least think about it. Why do you not want to join? It's an experience you're going to need." Kuroko said, reasonably.

Emilia remembered her first visit with Azusa.

"Hello?" Emilia said, opening the hospital door.

"Hello Emilia."

"Azusa… I'm so glad you're okay!" She proceeded to hug her best friends and sob in tears of joy. "I waited for so long…"

"Why?" Azusa asked suddenly. "Why haven't you moved on to other friends?"

"I just couldn't. You're someone that cannot be replaced."

Azusa placed her scarred arm onto Emilia's shoulder. "You should get some new friends, it won't hurt." Azusa laid back down. "Plus, It's an experience you're going to need."

"Alright, how did you learn those moves anyway, Emilia?" Mikoto asked, cutting Emilia's flashback.

Emilia sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Fine. I'll join."

Kuroko's eyes lit up. "You mean it?"

"Yes. Under one condition." Emilia gave her friends a cold stare. "You don't dig into my past."
