Edited on 3/3/2015, just added another sentence here or there and fixed some spelling mistakes.
'Thinking'
"Talking"
Chapter 5: Level upper
"Level upper?" Kuroko asks while staring at a computer screen. "Yeah, apparently it's supposed to increase an esper's capabilities possibly even increasing their level, hence the name." Saten enthuisastically explains. "It's even supposed be able to give a level zero some esper ability!" she adds with visible stars in her eyes. "So we just have to find who ever is making the so called level upper and stop them." I say matter-of-factly it seemed like a simple enough task, especially with a level 5 on our side. Misaka nods in agreement.
"It's not exactly that simple." Uiharu responds, she had taken a look at the article shortly after Saten brought in her laptop. I sigh and scratch the back of my head "Well there go my hopes for an easy assignment." Kuroko shoots me a bit of a glare. I put my hands up in defense, "All right, all right. I'll take this seriously." I quickly respond.
"Anyway..." Uiharu interjects before any more drama ensued. "The reason we can't just go out there and destroy it is because we don't even know what it is, let alone who made it." she continues. Misaka, Kuroko, and I all let out an annoyed grunt. "So if we can't go to the source, then we go to the suppliers." Konori states. "That makes sense, it's got be distributed somehow." Kuroko agrees. "I did some more digging and it seems like one place of ditribution seems to be here." Uiharu says while pointing at an adress.
"Well now you have a lead but how exactly are you guys planning on capturing them?" Saten asks. "That's a good question." I reply. "Just leave that to me." Misaka says with a smirk. "Something about that smile unnerves me." I mumble under my breath. "Oh don't worry! I won't hurt them too badly. Just meet me there tonight, I have a plan. You're coming too Kuroko." Misaka replies.
"Alright, I guess you guys have this covered." Konori says impressed by how quickly Misaka appareantly came up with a plan. "Misaka, you and Kuroko go get prepared for whatever your planning. Uiharu you stay here and keep digging up information on this so called 'Level upper'. And Brandyn, just do your usual patrol. We don't want petty criminals slipping under the radar while we investigate." she orders. Saten closes her laptop and stands up. "Well it looks like you guys have your hands full, I've got things to do myself. I need to study up on this personal reality or whatever." she says.
Academy city: Afternoon
Despite the looming threat of the level upper everything was surprisingly peaceful, I have a feeling this is just a calm before the storm though. Level upper, who would be pathetic enough to use such a thing, and on that note who would be crazy enough to invent it? I sigh, I wonder what Misaka and Kuroko are up to. "Whoah! Hey, would you put your clothes back on!" I hear someone yelling. "What in the hell?" I mumble to myself while going over to investigate the sound.
I see a person with black spiky hair yelling at a women with long brown hair and bags under her eyes. "Would you stop it?! People are going to get the wrong idea!" the spiky haired kid says while turning around in embaressment. He seems to notice me because his eyes go wide. Now that I have a better look at him he seemed to be about my age. He starts pleading "I had nothing to do with this! This was completely of her own will...oh god that sounds bad. Look the names Touma Kamijou, this women asked me to help her find her car. You're Judgement so you can help with that right?" I raise an eyebrow at the situation but he seemed genuine enough. I sigh and scratch the back of my head while responding with "You seem truthful, I'll take her off your hands."
His eyes widen in surprise, "Thanks!" he says maybe a bit too enthusiastically. Good fortune must not come his way very often. As he runs off I notice the women in the middle of taking off her undershirt. My face begins to feel warm. "Whoa! Ma'am I'll help you find your car, just put your clothes on!" I say while trying to avert my eyes. Didn't Saten tell me something about this, "The amazing stripping lady" or something like that? I'm a bit surprised that one of those ridiculous stories was even true but I guess the law of averages dictated that she'd be right eventually. "But how else am I supposed to cool down?" the women interrupts my thoughts.
"With a cool drink." I say while slamming a can on the table in front of her. "Hmm, you may be right but on a hot day a warm drink is actually better for you." the weird stripping lady replies. "Emotionally though a cool drink is better." I state. "I can go get you something else though." I quickly add while standing up. "Oh, don't worry about it, it's the thought that counts. I tend to think more logically, probably because of all my research." She answers. "Research? So your a scientist?" I ask curious about what she studies. "I study AIM Diffusion fields." she answers.
"AIM diffusion fields?"
"Oh, so you don't know? I figured someone your age would've already learned about them. Especially since your living in academy city."
'I probably would have but I have a crippling case of amnesia.' I think bitterly to myself.
"An AIM Diffusion field is a weak field of energy subconsciously emitted by espers when they use their powers."
"So you study esper powers then?"
"Yes, that's part of the job description."
"So this may sound wierd but I have a question...is there any sort of esper ability that would cause amnesia?"
The brown haired women leans back in her chair with the hand on her chin, obviously in deep thought. "None that I've heard of. Why do you ask?" she eventually answers while following up with a question of her own. My gaze goes downward slightly depressed. I snap my head back up and just say that it was just something that I was interested in. She probably didn't buy it but she didn't pry further. "Anyway let's go find your car." I add.
"Thanks." she well thanks me. "Yeah don't mention it." I wave off her apology, my mind was on other things at the moment. She gets into her car and drives away. I take a look at the time. Oh crap I'm going to be late to the rendevous!
"What took you so long?" Misaka asks as I finally make it to the restaurant, out of breath. "Wierd lady...car...kid with spiky hair." I wheez out bits and peices of a sentence. "What are you rambling on about?" Misaka asks. "Wait a minute? Where's Kuroko? You didn't ditch her did you?" I ask voice filled with dread. "She wouldn't leave my side, I needed to get away for a minute." she replies casually.
"Then that means...Oh-" Before I can even finish my sentence I'm pinned up against the wall. "You thought you could take advantage of Sissy while I was gone?" she confronts. "No. I just got here. Misaka back me up here!" I plead. "He's right Kuroko." Misaka answers casually, used to this by now. Kuroko sighs and lets me go. "Is it too much to ask to have a day where you're not attacking me?" I ask, being only partially sarcastic.
"Well anyway now that we're all here. Let's go!" Misaka says cheerily while marching into the restaurant, Kuroko and I following close behind.
Kuroko: "On the next chapter of 'A certain otherworldly visitor' Sissy shows off her amazing acting skills and we get one step closer to finding out just what the level upper is."
Sorry for the lateness of the chapter, I don't really have an excuse I just took a break from the story is all but I'm back. Also the whole 'On the next chapter of' thing will become a regular thing much like how the Index and Railgun anime do it.
