Jenny slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was still blurry, but she then realised she stared into a roof.
She then instantly opened her eyes and sat up.
'Where am I?' Jenny thought, as she looked around. She had a really bad headache, and she felt completely exhausted. She suddenly realized she was laying in a hospital bed, but she sure wasn't in a hospital.
There were no windows in the room, and it was almost completely dark. Bet Jenny could still slightly see some furniture around in the room.
'What happened to me? All I remember is getting hit by that weird device by brother had…. and then, the sound of somebody coming. I guess whoever it was didn't help me out,' Jenny thought. as she pulled the blanket away.
She realized her clothes had changed, she wore something that seemed awfully familiar to a hospital gown, but it was a little tighter.
'I wonder what happened after I fell unconscious,' Jenny thought, as she pulled the blanket off to the side.
She got out and sat on the edge of the bed, as she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
'Man I really wish I knew what happened… I still can't believe he's my brother, who I didn't even know I had until… I don't even know for how long I've been unconscious, who is behind all of this? He knows about what happened to Ahmya nearly four years ago… still, he doesn't seem to care,' Jenny thought.
Her headache suddenly got stronger. She realized she had some strange microchip on her arm.
'What is this thing?' Jenny thought as she took a closer look at the chip. 'It seems as if my brother has plans with me…' Jenny thought, as she suddenly remembered something.
'What about Aiko's sick experiment!? What will he do once he figures out I'm gone?' Jenny thought as some sweat ran down her forehead.
'Please don't tell me that-' she thought, as she suddenly heard footsteps. She looked towards the door, as she heard something sounding like a heavy, big metal lock open.
In came Dark Matter together with two men, who definitely looked like guards.
"Glad to see you have awakened," Kakine said. Jenny glared at him.
"Where am I?" Jenny asked, a bit harsh.
"You're here in my research lab, of course," Kakine answered. Jenny still stared at him.
"I guess I should explain myself, huh…" Kakine said as he walked further into the room.
"I guess you have already noticed the microchip sitting in your arm," Kakine said, making Jenny's look at the weird chip again.
"Yeah, what does it do?" Jenny asked.
"That chip is a one of only three in the entire world, made of Academy city. And for its purpose… well, let's just say, you won't be able to use your esper powers as long as it's there," Kakine said as he smiled.
"It blocks esper powers then?" Jenny asked, looking at the chip.
"No, that isn't its main purpose, just some side effect until it gets the time to fully grow, to say it simply," Kakine said. Jenny blinked a couple times.
"Then what is its main purpose?" Jenny asked.
"For now… just to keep you safe," Kakine said. 'He's… keeping me safe?' Jenny thought.
"From who or what exactly?" Jenny asked.
"Oh come on, surely you've noticed, all those men coming after you for the last couple months, even though they weren't much of a challenge even with their guns, made especially made to defeat espers," Kakine said.
'That is right…' Jenny thought.
"So what? Did you kidnap me instead of him?" She asked, with a mad look in her eye.
"My… why do you always have to be so rude sis?" Kakine asked.
"You kidnapped me… do you expect to just think of this as a "happy family reunion"?" Jenny asked., in her meanie-voice.
"And I don't get how kidnapping me should help any of us, I mean, why do you even care about me?" Jenny asked.
Kakine looked at her a little time without answering. "Why do I care?" He asked.
"Because I hate that Aiko guy just about as much as you do. Not for what he did to Ahmya, four years ago… no my reason for hatred is much greater than just losing the sister I never knew," Kakine said, as Jenny tightened her fists after he said "Ahmya".
"What is your so-called reason than"? Jenny asked, a little skeptical. Dark Matter closed his eyes for a second.
"Ten years ago… a year before you were born, I got to this city. Of course, it was like a dream come true back then… and then I met this scientist who called himself Aiko. He wanted me to participate in an experiment, because of my young age. So we began to work together as partners. At first, the experiments seemed harmless, until one day I met this girl… actually, she reminds me a lot of you now that I think about it," Kakine said, making Jenny pay extra good attention.
"She was actually pretty sweet… and she was a level 4 like me. We began this experiment to see how good we could control our abilities. Tch, I was so pathetic... barely made it out of that alive. But the girl wasn't as lucky, Kakine said, as he suddenly stared straight into Jenny's eyes.
'So… Aiko's also killed a poor innocent girl, just like Ahmya once before,' Jenny thought.
"That's when our partnership broke up for real. I hate that guy… so when I heard he was gonna use you in his next experiment, I instantly drove to action. It's not that I care for your life or anything childish like that," Kakine said.
"I began to look into you, little sis… and that's when I found out that you've also reached level 5, like me. Unfortunately, you're still weak and down at 6th place. It was because of your hidden personality, that Aiko chooses to use you in his experiment," Kakine said.
"Wait… so you kidnapped me just to get him back?" Jenny asked.
"No, unfortunately, Aiko has already chosen another test subject, so, therefore, he decided to just dispose of you," Kakine said. Jenny gulped.
!. 'What? But I thought that… did I really miss calculate, Aiko's true plan? Because from what I thought, I am the only the one with abilities to do what he seeks,' Jenny thought.
"Who has he chosen then?" Jenny asked.
"I know, you know her quite well, as a matter of fact, it was your meeting that opened up Aiko's eyes of using her instead," Kakine said.
"Wait one second! You're saying the person he chose is..." Jenny said.
"Exactly, the Railgun of Tokiwadai," Kakine said.
(Seen from Kuroko's perspective)
It was really early. She had gotten permission to skip school in order to investigate what she had seen the other day, and Uriharu too.
"Have you found anything yet?" Kuroko asked. Uriharu's fingers ran across the keyboard, and millions of numbers slided across the screen.
"Not yet... It seems as if for some strange reason, somebody's also using the same hacking program as us. That might cause a breakdown if I'm not careful," the black-haired Judgement officer said.
"Really? But who else would try to hack into the security cameras, except other judgment branches?" Kuroko asked.
"Yeah, and they don't even have any business in our district, so it couldn't be them," Koneri said.
"Could you possibly try to figure out who it is? It might be some dangerous hackers," Koneri said.
"I can try, but this person is possibly just as skilled as me," Uriharu said, not taking her eyes off the screen. Suddenly the screen began to glow in all different colors.
"Uriharu, what's happening!?" Kuroko asked.
"Seems like the other person found me before I managed to track his location!" Uriharu said as the sweat began to run down her forehead.
Suddenly the computer turned off. "What happened?" Koneri asked.
"Hh… it looks like he managed to break into our computer program, it could take days before we manage to get this thing up and going again," Uriharu said.
"Man, that long?" Koneri asked.
"Yeah... there sure are many good hackers out there, but there are only a very few amounts who can just make a computer and the system break down like that," Uriharu said.
"Hh, well then I guess it's no use," Koneri said.
"Then I guess that means I should go to the place I saw this thing, and see if I can find anything," Kuroko said, as she walked towards the exit.
"Ok then Shirai, but contact me if you find anything," Koneri said. "I will don't worry," Kuroko said, as she closed the door behind her.
With her teleportation, it didn't take long before Kuroko stood at the place.
"This is definitely the place… but what happened here?" The alley was in total ruins. Suddenly she saw something. She walked over and picked it up.
'A photo… no, it's a drawing, of two girls,' Kuroko thought as she looked at it.
It was really creased, and the picture had gotten a little wiped out, but you could still see most of it.
One of the girls had blonde hair and the other one brown.
'This is such a cute drawing… who would just leave something like this out here?' Kuroko thought as she put the picture into her pocket.
'This could be a very important clue,' Kuroko thought, as she looked around again.
'There doesn't seem to be anything else except this picture,' Kuroko thought, as she turned around and teleported back to the office.
(Seen from Misaka's perspective)
"And remember to study up on biological frequencies," the teacher said, as the bell rang for the last time that day. Misaka stretched as she looked out the window.
"Man it feels good, now that schools over," Misaka said, as she began to pack her things together.
*I think I'm going to see what Kuroko's doing at work,' Misaka thought, as she left the classroom. She then quickly walked over to judgement branch 177, where both Uriharu and Kuroko worked.
"Hey, you guys!" Misaka said as she peeked inside the office.
"Misaka? I haven't seen you in a while," Koneri said as the smiled. "Yeah schools been keeping me really busy lately," Misaka said.
"Well, it's nice to see you. I'm gonna get a drink, you want something?" Koneri asked, as she looked inside the fridge.
"I'll take a soda," Misaka said as she walked over to Uriharu and Kuroko.
"What are you doing?" Misaka asked, the girls who didn't turn around.
"Oh Sissy, I didn't realize you were here," Kuroko said.
"Um… if you don't mind me asking, what's that big thing?" Misaka asked. On the table stood something that looked like a speaker.
"Well we got hacked, so our networks down. Therefore we got this until it could be fixed," Uriharu said.
"Well, then what are you guys doing anyway?" Misaka asked.
"Well, yesterday, Shirai saw something quit strange, that we're looking into," Koneri said, as she threw a soda over to Misaka, who caught it and opened it.
"How weird? And why is it something judgement has to look into?" Misaka asked as she took a sip.
"Well, it's kind of hard to explain, but she kind of just heard an explosion and then saw some metal plates with some weird stuff on them fly up into the air and crash down again," Uriharu said.
"Weird stuff on it?" Misaka asked.
"Yeah it was some sort of black gue, and there was also some black glowing gue," Kuroko said.
"Gue huh? Have you considered it just being an esper with a levitation ability?" Misaka asked.
"Well yeah, but that still doesn't explain what that weird stuff on it was," Kuroko said.
"Hmm… "Misaka said thinking.
"!. There is one esper who can produce something like that!" Misaka said.
"Huh? How do you know of them?" Uriharu asked.
"Yeah, who is it sissy?" Kuroko asked.
"The second ranked level 5… Dark Matter," Misaka said.
"!. No way! It's the guy who's even stronger than you Misaka!" Uriharu yelled. Misaka looked away.
"I know it sounds crazy but… i just thought, that his Dark matter ability might be it," Misaka said.
"Well then if that's the case, we'll need to get Anti-skill in on this too. Since it's clear that what he did was illegal stuff, we'll have to question him for it," Koneri said.
"And Anti-skill are the only ones powerful enough to apprehend a level 5?" Misaka asked.
"Well, they have their ways… but we need some proof that it was him, or else we might just accuse an innocent (*cough* *cough*. Kakine? Innocent?) man," Koneri said.
"Right…" Misaka said.
"We also found this on the scene, Shirai saw it," Uriharu said, as a picture popped up on the screen.
'!. No way… that's,' Misaka thought. All the others noticed Misaka's weird response to the picture.
"Misaka have you seen this before?" Uriharu asked.
"That girl… that can't be… Jenny. But it looks just like her, except the smile of course. It's just… I might know that girl on the picture," Misaka said with a shivering voice.
"Which one of them? And how do you know her, Sissy?" Kuroko asked.
"Well it's a long story.. but basically we met the other day. Uriharu could you please check the database for her level?" Misaka asked.
"Huh? Why do you ask me for that?" Uriharu asked.
"Could you just please do it? Try to look under the telepathy ability," Misaka said.
"Ok I'm on it," Uriharu said, turning around to her computer again.
'That little girl on the bench… that's got to bee Jenny, but then.. who's the other girl?' Misaka thought. ! . Suddenly she remembered:
"Are you ok? Asks Misaka Misaka worried about her new friends, sudden sadness," Last order said.
"Yeah, I'm ok. It's just… you two remind me of my sister," Jenny said, as more tears came. Misaka stared at her.
"You have a sister too?" Misaka asked.
Jenny kept crying.
"I did… until one day she was used in an experiment and died," Jenny said, as she wiped away her tears.
!. Misaka thought, as she heard that.
"And now… every time I see sisters like you… it reminds me of how close we used to be," Jenny said, as she smiled.
'That must be Jenny's sister!' Misaka thought.
"Misaka, please is there something you know that we don't?" Koneri asked.
"Well, I don't know much… but the little girl with blonde hair, calls herself Jenny," Misaka said.
"And she's a telepath?" Kuroko asked.
"I think so… but she keeps mentioning more abilities, and I don't know what it means," Misaka said.
"You're saying that girl has some kind of multi skill?" Koneri asked.
"I'm not entirely sure… but I think so," Misaka said.
"And who's the other girl?" Kuroko asked.
"I don't know for sure… but I think it's her sister," Misaka said.
"She has a sister?" Kuroko asked. Misaka looked down.
"Not anymore… Jenny told me, her sister got killed in an experiment a couple years ago," she said. Uriharu stopped typing, and looked at her.
"Wow… that must be pretty hard to live with," Uriharu said, with an almost sad voice.
"Yeah, I feel sorry for her too… but can't do anything about it," Misaka said, as she smiled.
"Jenny told me not to worry about it though, she is really annoying at times, but I still feel sorry for her," Misaka said.
"Hey Misaka, I'm done looking through the database, but I couldn't find anybody by the name Jenny. Do you possibly know her last name?" Uriharu asked. Misaka shaked her head.
"No… as a matter of fact, I'm almost sure, that Jenny isn't her real name either," Misaka said.
Both Koneri, Kuroko, and Uriharu looked down into the ground. They were all silent for a little while.
"Do you know where she is now?" Koneri then asked to break the silence.
"No actually, I haven't heard from her the last couple of days. It's weird, normally I can't have the least bit of privacy but now she's just… gone," Misaka said.
"That sure seems weird," Uriharu said.
"I'll try to look through the surveillance cameras once more. Maybe if we can find out what that weird thing Shirai saw is, we'll find her too," Uriharu said.
"Good idea, but if that hacker is there again, we'll lose our backup too," Kuroko said.
"I guess we'll just have to take that risk…" Uriharu said, as she began to type on the keyboard again.
Once again all the numbers, flew across the screen, and Uriharu's fingers flew across the keyboard. "So is the hacker there again?" Kuroko asked.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure the hacker is, but I won't know until I get around this firewall," Uriharu said, as all the numbers suddenly went away.
"Oh no! The hacker's spotted me again!" Uriharu said, as her fingers went across the keyboard again.
"I won't let this guy win again! And this time I know his defenses… if I could just somehow make my way around this barrier, the rest would be a piece of cake," Uriharu said. You can do it Uriharu.
"If you can't, nobody else in the entire city will be able to!" Misaka said. Suddenly a very familiar picture of some alleys popped up.
"I did it!" Uriharu exclaimed.
"Nicely done Uriharu!" Kuroko said.
"Now let's see what we can find here…" Uriharu said, as she again looked at the screen.
"It's around here in area J, H if I'm correct, Shirai," Uriharu said.
"Yeah it's just right around that corner," Kuroko said. As the picture changed again, an empty alley was revealed.
"There's nothing here," Misaka said.
"Let's try to go a couple days backward," Uriharu said, as the film suddenly began to fast backward.
"!. Stop Uriharu!" Misaka suddenly yelled. The black haired girl stopped by her friends sudden outbreak.
"What? Is there something about these boys?" Kuroko asked.
On the screen was to boys, probably around the age 18-20. One of them had mid-length dirty blonde hair, and the other one had completely white hair and an almost see-through skin.
'That's got to be Accelerator! It couldn't be anybody else,' Misaka thought, as she clenched her teeth.
"Sissy what's wrong!?" Kuroko suddenly yelled.
"Those boys… they're this city's two strongest espers. The second-ranked, Dark Matter, and the first, Accelerator," Misaka said. !. All the other stared at her.
"You're telling me… that those two boys are the only ones in this entire city who are stronger than you?" Uriharu asked, with an almost shivering voice. Misaka nodded, as they all kept staring at her.
"Wait!" Kuroko suddenly said.
"Look there! In the corner of the frame! Isn't that the girl, sissy?" Kuroko asked, as she pointed at something on the picture. Misaka looked at it.
It was hard to tell it was a person because of its almost see-through skin, but the hoodie and the yellow hair was definitely Jenny's.
"You're right!" Misaka said. Uriharu and Koneri looked at her.
"But… she looks way older than on the picture," Uriharu said.
"Well yeah, that's how she looks today," Misaka said.
"What happened to her?" Kuroko asked. "Let's see…" Uriharu said, as the film slowly began to go backward again.
"Watch! There she comes from the allay… Wait! What was she even doing there?" Koneri said.
"I'll explain it later," Misaka said, as the film began to play.
"Look, somebody's coming out from the shadows," Misaka said.
"That's the second rank, Dark Matter," Kuroko said. They all watched. It seemed like they said something pretty serious… but unfortunately, there wasn't any sound.
Suddenly, Dark Matter pulled out something from his pocket, and then suddenly appeared behind the little, unprepared girl.
A weird light then hit her, and she fell unconscious. Uriharu paused the video.
"Well now we know what happened, but what happened after that?" She asked as the film began to go the other way.
Accelerator stepped out of the shadows a second later. Suddenly the two boys began to fight.
Then there was an explosion… and then Dark Matter covered some metal plates in the gue and crashed them down on Accelerator.
But to all(Well almost) the girls surprise Accelerator was unharmed.
'No way! He doesn't even have a scratch after that!?' Kuroko thought. Suddenly Accelerator turned around and walked away. Dark Matter looked after him before he picked the little girl up and walked away.
