Electric Princess [Railgun]

A morning arrive at room 208 situated on External Tokiwadai dormitory. The first rays of sunlight penetrate through the window. Three figures lie in a row on one of the two beds in that room. Inoue hugs Mikoto from behind and the older-sister hugs her meter tall teddy bear.

Railgun slowly wakes up, opening her eyes. She would like to move to sits up, but suddenly finds that she can't thanks to someone holding her waist from behind. She jerked away, she twist her body, grabbing the person in question and in an instant she was in the pose of throwing her opponent over her shoulders. She immediately wanted to throw that (uninvited visitor?) out of bed. However, when she realized that the visitor in question was not Kuroko but Inoue, she managed to stop, making a surprised yelp. She started apologizing right away, letting her sister sit on the bed. "Ah sorry! I thought Kuroko sneak in on me again." As she stood over the seated Inoue, she noticed her [child's like] pajamas on her and immediately burst into a smile. "Ah, my pajamas look good on you, you have good taste in choosing this one." She hummed contentedly not carrying that her clone went through her stuff.

However, her Imoto had a different opinion, making a denying hand gesture. "No, no, not by chance. Misaka dismisses this claim, shocked at her older sister's ignorance." Mikoto objected that reaction, but Inoue continued. "Misaka has to complain that despite her ignored objections, her older sister made her wear this outfit. Now, that the older sister is finally responding, Misaka has to wonder if there's anything less embarrassing than this. But she has to sigh, aware of the embarrassing fact, that not by any chance, she will found here something, that will match her preference." She finished with a deep sigh.

.

The original collapsed into her own bed, almost burying her head in the pillow, sighing in defeat. "And that's it, it's only morning and I'm already out of energy and I don't want to do anything. It would be best if I went back to sleep."

Her clone watched her for a moment before laying down next to Railgun, laying on her shoulder, she was capable to look from her side of bed on other, into Mikoto on-side slightly turn face.

.

"What is it?" As if sensing her gaze, she fully turned on shoulder to look at her mirror reflection. "Do you have anything else you want to criticize me for? For example, the teddy bear that was supposed to be under the bed?"

"Based on this shallow question, it's clear that Onee-sama is unaware of the highly unusual manifestations of her sleeping habits. In addition to displaying a wide variety of facial expressions, she often rolls over and hugs Misaka like if she was that mentioned teddy bear. Occasionally, big sister speak from sleep, making comments and illogical sketchy remark completely out of concept."

.

"This is what I get for even asking." She sighed. "Sometimes my dreams are more vivid than expected, but did you get any sleep at all?" A look of concern appeared on Mikoto face.

"From the moment the teddy bear was put on its mission, to calm the wild sleeper, yes. Big-sister needn't be worried, unlike her, Misaka don't feel lacking at this point. Ignoring her new sigh icon, Misaka have to ask about the contents of the experiment that is to take place today with her participation. Misaka expresses her interest, trying to hide her fears of unknown complications."

.

"I didn't catch much, but it should be a some kind of presentation of our school to the public. Especially for potential students, to show them why to choose Tokiwadai as their next step to their future. Something with the full participation of students, proving that the school will provide, not just the necessary education, but at same time space for fun. Probably it improvisation and posing for the cameras will do. They will probably want from me to show firing the railgun. Now that I think about it, for us, the event might be an extra problem in your case. Even if you have a chance in this city, the public outside of it wouldn't be able to digest even a fraction of the real truth about the sisters. It's like an informational minefield. The moment politics gets into it, it's like standing on the ledge of a steep cliff. You can fall very easily, but it need only one to slip and the whole expedition will follow him down."

Imoto thought about it for a moment, before rolling onto her back, looking at the ceiling. "Improvisation and posing in front of the camera, Misaka recapitulates the assignment talking about the advertising subtext, of possible city's economical opportunity expansion attempt." She ignored the brief underarm smirk from her original. "Inoue with her official number 10032, greets her supporters on the other side of the screen. She putting her fingers in V-hand sing gesture to her eye as a sign of peace, in the pose of a budding Idol for the masses of viewers. Misaka is currently penetrating the secrets of social life from her big sister's bed. Unfortunately, she unsuccessfully tries to understand her big-sister excessively childish behavior. However, Misaka does not hide her enthusiasm that she can spend more time with Onee-sama. She says eloquently that she has taken on the role of a commentator in this reality show. Misaka secretly tries to lets the unaware big sister to know, that she is also involved the shot."

.

As could be expected, Mikoto frowned at her Imoto, wondering if she pulling a prank on her again. "For your own sake, I hope you don't post such fabrications as facts about me."

"Inoue speaks to the television viewers, pointing to a device fixed to the ceiling of this room, dismissing big-sister rant."

.

Number three, turned her head to look straight up, where a handheld camera was taped to the ceiling. The pupils of her eyes narrowed and her face went red.

A few seconds later, the screams of one of its residents echoed through the girls' dormitory. 'Kia~~a!!'

.

"KU- RO- KO~O!!" The demonic electro-master sent an electric current-sparkle to the adjacent bed. However, it was empty, so the discharge dissipated on the bed linen. She quickly looked around the room. Her redheaded target was asleep in a chair behind her own desk with her head resting on her hand. A switched-on laptop in front of her in power-saving mode. Mikoto step up from the bed. She approached Shirai, veins throbbing on her forehead. For a moment she stood over her, fittingly like a predator over its prey. Who unsuspectingly muttered something to herself in her sleep, drooling from a depraved smile. For worse, she was wearing a pajamas, also belonging to collection #3.

A flash illuminated the room, followed by a maiden shriek, that too fast turned from surprise to un-pure [un-seiso] voice tone.

Kuroko Shirai, fell off her chair with a squeal of delight. She spoke in delusion. "Sissy, ♥ how brave from you." She pulled herself a moan, falling unconscious, leaving a blissful expression on her face.

.

Mikoto was clenching her fists with a complete frown on her face and a super awkward angry expression. (("Damn it! This didn't work as I expected.")) Her oversight did not result in the punishment of the culprit, but rather lead onto something bizarrely opposite. It took about a minute before she calmed down enough to start thinking normally again. She gave her roommate a stern look and already grabbed her by the collar and started shaking her to wake her up. "Kuroko you little monster!! How dare you recording me while I'm sleeping?! And what's more, how dare you take my pajamas?!"

However, despite the vibration, Shirai was still in an absent blissful state. "Oh, Onee-sama, that was amazing... you're the best..."

.

Of course the brown haired had not a fan of that king of speech. "Could you stop that?!" She lifted her roommate up so much that she actually made her stand up.

Shirai finally regained her true consciousness and, looking at her roommate, immediately put on an attitude where she would like to convince a random passer-by that she is a model young lady in a romantic mood. "Oh Sissy, that's quite passionate courage that awakened in you... To end up in your arms so early in the morning?, Kuroko is delighted."

.

"Stop babbling nonsense and start spewing answers. Why are you in my pajamas?!"

"Sissy, how dare you accuse me like that?!" She just went into her cocky 'Judgement' mode. "Perhaps you don't dare to tell me that I would ever willingly wear something so childish? Or?..." She smiled gently realizing something. "Aren't you trying to talk yourself out of your bold move yesterday?: When you carried me over the threshold like a bridegroom who carry her bride to they home… You laid me on the bed and claimed my body as yours property... I was completely defenseless against you." Shirai blushed firmly like a maiden.

.

It shook Mikoto from head to toe. "S- s- stop twisting events to suit your taste!!" She also blushed, faintly remembering that she indeed carried Kuroko. "What about the camera? Do you gonna to say that, I also put that on the ceiling to document our first night?"

The redhead wanted to say something spicy about that thrown golden opportunity, but the straight look from the brunette forced her to keep it to herself, for security reasons. "Please calm down, Sissy! That camera is really mine, it was originally there to record the chicks. Do you remember that thing about the gas in the underground shopping mall? If they really came to life, there would be indisputable proof of that. Of course, if it was an unfounded rumors or a new AIM outburst that triggers reaction only to direct reaction on strong presences as Level-5 is, then this will bring more light onto the case. Indeed, it was not my intention to film either of you at sleep. It only happened because she was completely forgotten about that camera. However, it would not be possible for such a thing to escape your attention. So I began to think that you agreed with it."

"Onee-sama..." Inoue spoke from Shirai's Notebook/computer, and both of them turn they heads toward her. "The beginning of the compromising recording does indeed match the suspect's statement, but the recording is still ongoing. Additionally, the attached 'Screen-shots' and timestamps during the recording prove that spying took place."

.

Mikoto frown at excuse expression of the stalker. "Unbelievable, you just confessed to a crime and still managed to sound innocent. Who do you think you're messing with?!" With a high-quality martial art move for rich ladies, she smacked Shirai to the ground. "Well, now we'll delete everything you have about me or my sister."

Judgment girl rise her hand to stop the strongest electro-master in city. "Hold on, some things from that record are key components to putting a smile back on Inoue's face." Of course, the older sister didn't believe a word this stalker said, but it was still enough to make her stop. Kuroko slowly picked herself up from the ground. "For example, there's one particular shot of Inoue smiling from her sleep while in your warm embrace. If that's not enough for you to acknowledge that my methods are producing results, then I have to speak forcefully into your soul. Please remember, that I'm doing it for Inoue's sake." Kuroko's speech caused an irritated discharge from her Idol's bangs.

Of course the third one must spoke up. "Misaka has an objection that needs to be answered. The compromising image in question was sent to a private forum where it was seen, downloaded and commented on by over a hundred members of that forum. According to the initial I-Ps analysis, many members of that forum are probably residents of this dormitory. Furthermore, Misaka revealed that the compromising image in question, the video recording, was already backed up to a remote archive. Attempting to access this file revealed that it had already been copied to a private offline medium. Misaka completes her findings, selflessly proving that her method of obtaining information is better than her big sister's."

.

"Kuroko, did you went completely crazy? Do you realize what that one photo can do to this world?"

"That's enough my dear! Which one of us here is a real detective, with real practice? That shot disproves any claims that Inoue is an impostor pretending to be your sister." It was slight, but Shirai saw on Railgun body language and facial expression, that the Level-5 take a mental step back, strongly reacting to that. Red-hair dint react to that, but it give her courage. "Besides, I had to drop something on the girls, so they wouldn't even think to test Inoue. For example, by tying apply pressure on her, to challenge her legitimacy or coherence. But I don need to explain that to you. Don't I? Just leave it to me and both of you, keep your hacking in check."

"Misaka has a revelation. It's worth noting that this site displays suspicious or compromising material about every celebrity from Tokiwadai Middle High school since the establishment of the institution. From frivolous facts to baseless spiciness, legends, to an extensive Yuri fan-fiction sub-forum. Misaka is shocked that her sub-forum already has several entries with a much earlier date than yesterday's."

.

The Railgun gave the Teleporter a cold look, causing the redhead to tactically retreat behind the bed out of reach of the electro-master's physical attack. "I am not responsible for that."

In the meantime, a slightly tall woman with black straight messy hairs style entered the room, suited in a bathrobe over her pajama and bushy slippers. In one hand she had a shopping bag from a Danish fashion house. She patted Shirai on the shoulder to finally get that girl attention.

.

Kuroko turned to this new person with a question on her face. "Oh? Who are you miss and what can Kuroko Shirai as a member of Judgment do for you?"

"I don't have the strength for this." The sick looking dormitory manager sighed exhausted. From her bag, she took out secretary type documents holder and forced that tool of administration the redhead hands. She continued in a weak voice. "Shirai, its me." That short girl had a hard time to accept who was standing in front of her. "I'm not feeling well at all, that's why I'm taking the day off. So for the time being, you're completely on your own. Anything that goes wrong, goes on your shirt. I think you know what that means to you." Subsequently, she also forced the given bag on her. "There is something in this for both Misaka sisters. You are supposed to represent, so you will wear it. (Not my choice.) It is an order from the higher-ups, so no excuses, no shorts, or similar tricks. If you are looking for me, I am in bed. So don't look for me! Even if I show up for a while, I'm free, take care of everything yourself." She turned and started to leave.

.

The new acting administrator of the dormitory looked into file-holder boards and at the documents in them. She quickly flipped through a few pages. "Hey, what you gave me is almost completely empty. What does that mean?"

"Oh, I'm so tired... arrange everything as you like, or whatever... I'm going to bed." With an almost certainly fake cough, she left their room, slow-drag closing door behind her.

.

"Unbelievable, she just threw this mess at us and made up her own alibi." Kuroko complained heading to her phone lying down on her desk, while handing the bag to the brown haired pair. "If she thinks we're doomed, she's wrong. I have a secret weapon." Dialing the number, she put her phone, the size of a chocolate stick-bar, to her ear. "Oh... that was fast... Uiharu, slow down and listen to me!... I need your help!... Without any delay, trot [marching, like horse, but walk speed] to our dormitory immediately, provisions are fully covered." Without the slightest hesitation, she hung up as soon as she finished. She was already entering another number on the holo-display. "...Saten san... you too?... Tokiwadai dormitory!: Double trot!"

.

Meanwhile, Mikoto and Inoue looked into the aforementioned shopping bag from the fashion store. The futile wish for a necklace, pendant, bracelet, or other hair accessory, (for one of them or other), disappeared the moment she looked at the extremely elegant fashionable female panties with a bra, underlining the nobility and maturity of the lady who would wear them. Railgun blushing went from ear to ear as Inoue took the crystal white version in her hands and she was left whit black as night version.

.

The older brunette capitulated with a sigh and they went to the bathroom together with the younger one. Followed by the redhead of course, as if it were a given.

However, not even five seconds after that…

...the Tsundere kicked the red-haired Pervert out of that small room.

[Notes/explanations (in case someone doesn't know something):]

Kuroko - Name Meaning: Kuroko[black] is someone who is often ignored, or rather invisible to others. Rather handsome in appearance with a calm mind. There would be the one in the class who sits at the back and scribbles in his notebook even after the bell rings without the teacher noticing. Kuroko can seem downright retarded at times, but no one really cares because no one ever noticed he was there. He is good at passing and throwing (mostly) round objects at people, hitting them hard in the face. He's smart and can get away with anything. (Urban Dictionary) (PS: Did they make this name the perfect description of a regular cat?)

The family name "Shirai" can be literally interpreted as "white" plus "(water well)".

Shyrai, a beautiful name for a nice pleasing girl, she's pretty, good at some things they want to learn or they do what they love

Tokiwadai Junior High School - this school is also attended by girls who have been perfectly isolated from the male part of the population and have not even met gentlemen yet (have some tolerance as family, servants).

-Also, many legends and stories circulate around this school. From ghosts to a certain tree: When it blooms and you confess your love under it: Your love will last forever even after separation. (located on the school grounds.)

Garden of Education and its strict policy quite limiting, the information leaks, that leads to websites on servers inclusively accessible only from inside of the walls of this protected area.

Hacking #3 - Although Railgun does not match the experience, speed or quality of IT experts for hacking [illegal penetration of information] and firewall. [Defense Against Hacking] Her ability to control electrons directly, has the ability to negate the whole concept of hacking and firewall, and just control individual parts of electronic instead of sending them orders. That's why Anti-Skill, has a dedicated department put on Railgun hacking. It's worth noting that the door to Branch 177 of Judgement, (Kuroko's workplace) has one of the most frequently updated electronic locks (and can be mark as state of art) for the small reason, that every time #3 visits, she can't resist the challenge. (No need to give her keys [key-card].)
