The Railgun
Mikoto Misaka ->
A Certain Scientific Railgun's First OP ->
This takes place in my own DC timeline... meaning that nothing canon that's significant is happening.
ACADEMY CITY
DECEMBER 20, 12:48 PM JST
A girl with shoulder-length chestnut brown hair wearing an expensive looking middle school uniform was leaning on a railing overlooking a highway, drinking a can of chicken soup.
The girl was humming a tune cheerfully, tapping her foot on the ground. She stood up, crushing the can in her hand before beginning to walk off.
"Man.." She said to herself as she stretched her arms. "How long did I stand there?"
Name: Mikoto Misaka
Alias(es): Railgun
Age: 14
Esper Level: 5
Abilities: Extremely powerful electricity user, maximum output being 1 billion volts. Also has high intellect.
Equipment: Small bag of arcade coins that she can electrify, and use it as a fully effective railgun.
Other Notes: The third ranked esper in Academy City. She seems lady-like... however is the complete opposite.
Mikoto shuffled her feet as she walked. She'd woken up late, and it being almost Christmas, she'd went out to buy presents.
She had yet to do that part.
Mikoto continued humming the tune as she walked. She looked at the watch she'd gotten from her roommate, Kuroko Shirai, as an apology present after Kuroko had raided her underwear drawer.
Noticing she had only a few hours left until she was supposed to be back in the dorms, (the curfew had been changed to 5:00 as of the lock down) Mikoto knew she had better hurry.
Walking into the nearest store, Mikoto looked around. She didn't notice anything that stuck out to her right away, but she decided to give the store a chance.
Going farther in, Mikoto realized that there was really nothing but candles.
"Kuroko wouldn't like a candle..." She muttered to herself. "And neither would Saten.... maybe Uiharu? No, no, I'm getting her that new tablet... Touma? No way, with his luck, it would fall and burn down his dorm..."
She sighed. "Whatever... it isn't like this is the only store..."
She stepped out of the store, before going into the next.
She walked into the next store... and she froze as she noticed it was a lingerie shop. "Nope, nope, nope, Kuroko will take it the wrong way." She practically ran into the next one, and sighed in relief as she realized it was an American store.
"Here we go!" Mikoto said cheerfully. "Kuroko's been obsessed with that American book Death Is My BFF, and Saten's CD she wants might be here."
(Yes, Kuroko has a Wattpad... and although she's read DIMBFF multiple times on the app, she wants the published hardcover)
Mikoto walked further into the store, running her fingers along the spines of books. Noticing the one she was looking for, Mikoto pulled out the book, before continuing to look around.
She grinned as she noticed the American band Saten had recently gotten obsessed with- Fall Out Boy -CD was here. Granted, it had been released in America early 2015, but it took a while to get to Academy City... everything had to be checked, plus, all of the words had to be translated while keeping the same voices... not an impossible feat for the city, and could've been done really fast, however it wasn't their top priority.
She grabbed the CD and flipped it over, reading the back. "Irresistible.. American Beauty American Psycho...Centuries.... The Kids Aren't Alright... Uma Thurman... Jet Pack Blues... Novocaine... Fourth of July..." She listed the songs out loud. "Well, Saten has some of these on her MP3... that Centuries one, I know... maybe American Beauty American Psycho."
She looked up. Her eyes lazily raked her surroundings, before stopping on a shirt.
It was black, with, The City Looks So Pretty Do You Wanna Burn It With Me?
The word 'Burn' was in red.
Mikoto chuckled. "Wow... imagine Touma's face... it fits though, he does mess around in the dark side of Academy City... and clearly hates how things are done... I feel the same, but..."
She grabbed the shirt, realizing it had to do with another band but deciding to ignore that part. As she did, she noticed another one.
"Normal People Scare Me." She read. "Eh, Kuroko's my roommate, I should get her two things." Taking that shirt as well, she walked to the register.
She paid for the presents, before taking the bag. Offering the cashier a 'Merry Christmas!', she skipped out.
"Holy crap!" She whisper shouted in shock. "How was I in there for so long!?!?"
Sure enough, it was 4:30.
Mikoto started to walk back in the direction of her dorm, planning on taking the bus. "Okay, don't panic, you'll be fine! And besides, it isn't like you haven't missed curfew before."
She stopped as she felt somebody watching her. She whirled around, and groaned internally as she realized seven guys were following her.
"Hey, little girl." One said, licking his pocket knife.
"You're from Tokiwadai, right?" Another asked. "You must have a bunch of money."
"But, judging by that bag, you've been buying presents." Another observed. "You're probably almost out of money."
"But don't worry." One of them grinned. "We'll mess around with you for free."
Mikoto fixed him with a blank stare, before turning around and continuing to walk.
"Hey!" She felt one of them grab her arm. "Did we say you could leave!?"
"No." Mikoto replied. "But I didn't ask, and quite frankly, I don't care."
The man glared at her. "Just because you have a power, you think you can take us? I don't care how powerful you are, you can't take on all of us-"
"Let her go!"
A blur of black and gray dashed past her, and as it passed by each of the men, they yelled in pain, falling to the ground.
Mikoto watched, annoyance pulsing through her as the blur stopped, revealing a boy around her age with rust colored hair and green eyes. The boy grinned.
"M'Lady." He said, bowing dramatically. "I believe I am now welcomed in your presence." His voice was laced with humor. Noticing he spoke English, Mikoto forced herself to do the same, despite her anger. (Because Mikoto goes to such a prestigious school, she speaks a multitude of languages, and can still understand most of the ones she can't speak)
Mikoto's eye twitched, a spark jumping from her bangs. "I had that under control!" She snapped.
The boy stood up, raising an eyebrow. "Really? Cause you weren't doing anything..."
Mikoto clenched her fists. "I don't need some hero!"
"Too bad, you got one."
Mikoto's face was beat red, lightning crackling around her. "You... you..."
The boy took a cautious step back. "Uh..."
"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!" She yelled, an arc of lightning flashing towards him.
The boy yelped, before running out of the way in a blur. Mikoto chased after him.
"You come back here!" She shouted, shooting another blast of lightning.
"No way!" The boy yelled back, still dodging her attacks.
"You bastard!" Mikoto touched her forehead, bringing a string of electricity into her hand, and 'threw it' so to speak, at the speedster.
"That's it!" The boy shouted. "I officially take my feeling welcome comment back!"
"Good riddance!"
This went on for twenty minutes, Mikoto shooting lightning and the boy dodging it easily.
At last, because she had been full on sprinting, Mikoto stopped, her hands on her knees.
"What... the hell... is your ability?" She gasped as the boy stopped beside her.
"Super speed." He answered.
"No duh." Mikoto glared at him. "I meant... what's it called?"
"Er- I don't know." The boy shrugged. "I got here yesterday."
"From, let me guess, America?"
"Duh." He looked her up and down. "You look like you're feeling the mode."
"Is that American slang or something?"
"Something." The boy scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Uh, you need help?"
"I'm fine." Mikoto stood up. "Who are you?"
The boy grinned. "The name's Bart Allen. But you can call me Bart, Allen, Bart Allen, Allen Bart, it's all crash."
"Crash... right..." Mikoto blinked in confusion. I went to Hawaii once, but do Americans on the main land really talk like that?
"So, who are you?" Bart asked.
"Mikoto Misaka."
"Nice to meet you, Misaka!" Bart said cheerfully.
"Ditto... Allen..." Mikoto looked at her watch. "Crap! It's almost five! We have to get back to our dorms... next time I see ya, I get a rematch!" She started to take off towards the bus station.
"Wait!" Bart jumped in front of her. "How about I carry you?"
Mikoto's face turned red. "W-What!?"
"Well, you have ten minutes." Bart explained. "I'll just take you to the dorm, and leave."
Mikoto was about to refuse, before she shook her head. She needed to get back... Kuroko didn't know to cover for her. "F-Fine." She said. "But we don't talk about this ever again!"
"Deal." Bart agreed, picking her up and taking off.
In literally one minute, they were in front of the dorm.
Mikoto's jaw dropped. "How did you know where I lived!?"
"Your uniform." Bart replied. "And how I knew which place to go to... luck."
Her still red, Mikoto started walking towards the door. "R-Right... bye, Allen!"
She practically slammed the door behind her.
Mikoto dashed up the stairs, taking two at a time, before she reached her dorm. She collapsed on her bed, breathing hard.
"Sissy?" A girl with red hair tied up in twin tails turned around from where she was on her laptop. "Why do you look... flustered?" Her face turned livid. "YOU WEREN'T SMUSHING FACES WITH A BOY WERE YOU!?"

Mikoto threw a pillow, hitting her over reacting friend in the face. "No, you idiot! I almost missed curfew!" (Although Mikoto is aware of Kuroko's crush on her, she tries to ignore it because Kuroko is her best friend, and the relationship is purely platonic, as far as Mikoto is concerned)
Kuroko sighed, changing the subject. "So, what did you get Uiharu and Saten?"
"I got Saten this CD," Mikoto threw the Fall Out Boy CD at her friend. "And I ordered Uiharu that new tablet. It's supposed to be in tomorrow."
Kuroko rubbed her face from where the CD had hit her. "Good choice. I got Saten another Fall Out Boy thing, a shirt that says 'We Are The Poisoned Youth'"
"She'll like that." Mikoto said. "So, what do you wanna do?"
Kuroko smirked. "Oh... how about we compare underwear! I got this ne-"
"SHUT UP!!" Mikoto put Kuroko in a choke hold, her face bright red. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?"
