Realization

"Such misfortunes…" Kamijou Touma muttered as he walked, half carrying half dragging the person on his shoulder. "Now I'm sure I'm going to fail the test tomorrow. This is really going to be a pain in the ass."

"Ehhhh, shouldn you chake it easy," the slurred voice spoke directly in his ears. The man he was carrying laughed for a moment waving a small bottle of beer. "You're young kiddo! Shoud relaaaax… Ahahaha!"

Touma let out a sigh as the man laughed loudly again. The man was drunk from the obvious reek of alcohol. The man's hair was shaved and he was dressed up in a formal suit. It was completely different from the normal student outfit that Touma was wearing. Awhile ago when he first met him he had that charm and was charismatic enough to get a discount on the diner he went. That he saw from while he was eating and just as he was about to finish, the man became unruly and was kicked out along with him due to a misunderstanding.

It wasn't the first time he met the man before though. He met him at July 19th, when Misaka showed her railgun to him. He didn't really do anything useful, only staring at the scene in the bridge and making witty comebacks as the two argued. At least that's what he heard from Misaka. His amnesia didn't help and Touma's not allowing anyone else to know about it. He also heard of more events of meeting him whenever he was being chased by biribiri.

But now this time he has to carry the man to his home. Why did he have to get himself involved? It wasn't his fault though. It was his right hand. The right hand that negated all fortunes that he will receive. Like the misfortune of being kicked out of the restaurant, forgetting his cell phone and wallet on said restaurant, not being able to eat, not being given the chance to study for the exams tomorrow, and now the responsibility to bring this drunken man to his home while he sleepily give directions.

"Okay we're close. Where do you live here again?" Touma asked in hope that he can finally just drop off the man at their home. It wasn't that he's worried about the man, but he was more worried about what events could happen. 'What if I was secretly activating a flag and end up in a yaoi route? What if this man was a target of another organization and he's going to be pulled in the crossfire again? Ah the misfortunes that would follow me,' Touma thought with sorrow as he waited for the answer.

The man seemed to calm down before laughing again. "I told you it was over there. On the right!" At least that's what Touma thought was he was trying to say. He watched as the man raised his hand and pointed. His eyes followed where it was pointed at and looked at the wall of a building. "Right there!"

Touma let out a sigh as the man's laughter roared across the area. Now that he looked around he looked like in some secluded parking lot. Minus the cars and add the strange shadows under the alleys. He felt more nervous as he examined his surroundings.

"I don't like this place."

"Oooo, the neighbors are here! Let's talk to them!" Touma turned to where the drunk was pointing. After the sight he saw, he knew that this was another one of those days where he had no luck at all.

Rough-clothed looking teenagers were approaching them from the shadows. There was four of them and they all look older than Touma, but younger than the drunk man. One of them had their hands under their jackets and Touma could see the bulge of a weapon under it. It was probably a knife, maybe a gun. But most gangs seemed to have a honour code to avoid using guns against other gangs. Yes, gangs have a honour code. Knives, arm braces, daggers, gauntlets and deadly melee weapons are allowed to use up to beat other people. But things such as guns and chainsaws? Only reserved for and against espers that aren't in gangs. Touma cursed as he looked around for an exit. No, there were only two ways out. One is the farther path where he would have to run just to reach it. No doubt that he'll be chased if he did that but he might escape. But the drunken man didn't seem to be in a state to run and Touma couldn't just leave him behind. The other path is through the thugs. That path is a suicidal path that was worse than the other choice.

"Well well well. What do we have here?" Touma gritted his teeth as he faced the thugs. The drunken man beside him had also started to stare at the arriving gang.

"How lucky, we have a student and an old man visitng," the rest of them chuckled and Touma began to think of the choices he can do. All out brawling wasn't an option. Touma could handle magicians and espers but gangs like these are hard to deal with. They simply overpower him right now in his current state. Stalling time by talking to them was a possible option. With the lack of anyone that can fight these delinquents he doubt there was a chance to win this confrontment. He was quickly pulled away from his concentration when the drunken man got off of him and staggered forward.

"Who ya callin old eh!" The drunk punched the air in front of him and almost tripped. "Sides… All of ya are ugleh! Ugly!"

Touma flinched from the insult. This was a really bad state to be in now. The thugs walked forward and Touma pulled the drunk man back. Apologizing right now for the elder's actions wasn't going to help and was probably only going to add anger to them. "Let's see how your lips talk after we smash it."

"Oooh, schary, schary. I can take you on all blindfolded!"

"Heh, grandpa thinks he can take us all? Ha!"

"Who does this guy think he is? The great Chuck? Ha!"

"You're just a bunch of idiots anyway! Kids these days are all stupid!" Touma momentarily thought of abandoning the drunk.

"Why you old man! We're the Valiant Gang and we'll make sure to mess you-"

"That's enough information."

The moment the thugs took another step, the drunk man beside Touma did something very strange. In a swift motion that took less than a second, he raised his hand and electricity flashed around the man's raised arm. A large arc of electricity travelled from his arms and into the thugs. A small explosion of electricity occurred and the thugs were covered by arcs of lightning. It kinda reminded Touma of Biribiri's electrical sparks and Railgun combined, but less potent and more focused on horizontal discharge. That was what Touma was thinking at the moment. Then came his reaction.

"Huh?"

Touma's mouth slightly opened as the man pulled back his arm, a blue orb of electricity forming on the same arm. Then he threw it forward, the rocket like projectile slamming into the center of the group. A small stalagmite of ice burst out the moment it came in contact with the thugs. Four of the thugs on the center were instantly encased in ice and the last thug was pushed back from the impact.

"Eh?"

The surviving thug seemed to think that their current target weren't exactly vulnerable and began to back away. It was only a moment before he turned away and ran, but he was still in reach. The drunken man only formed out some sort of arc of electricity in his hands before throwing it forward. A leash of lightning travelled through the air and connected to the thug's back. Touma's jaw fully opened as the thug was pulled backward by the electric hook. The thug soared through the air for a moment before tumbling down in front of Touma. Then the drunked man kneeled down and lowered his hand on them. At the moment his hand made contact, arcs of lightning restrained him down the ground. The man stood up and faced Touma with what was a smile. Touma only continued mouth agape.

"Hey, thanks kid for your support. Couldn't have gotten them without your assistance. Well actually I could, but it would be much more annoying to find them without you."

Touma's mind was confused, the man was just drunk awhile ago. He reeked and he was staggering around almost falling to the ground. But now the man was acting like as if he was a shonen hero's master. The slurs in his voice was gone and now the 'drunken' man was acting calmly. But he regained his composure and pointed at the man. "Y-You weren't really drunk!? And you used me to… find these guys!?"

"Oh yeah, I thought you'd figured it out? You know we did this before, right? Last time we did improvise though. Yeah, I probably should've warned you."

"Wh-What do you mean -" Touma trailed off. His panicked expression disappeared and was replaced with a sudden serious one. He covered his temples with his right hand as he remembered his loss of memories. "I think I might've forgotten-"

"Think fast!"

In less than a second, Touma moved his right hand and held it forward. Just in time to catch a circular bolt of electricity launched by the man. The sound of shattering glass was heard in the background as the hand negated the projectile. Another bolt launched out of the man's hands this time heading towards Touma's feet. Instead of using his right hand to block the attack, the student jumped back to avoid it. The bolt simply fizzled out upon making contact with the ground.

The man wasn't done yet. He threw out his arm forward, and a large blue orb of electricity spiralled towards Touma. Its swirling pattern made it difficult for Touma to predict where the projectile was about to hit, but somehow his right hand caught it. The electric rocket fizzled out as Touma's ability took effect. The student readied himself for another attack while the 'esper' in front of him stared at him.

"Yup, you're still good as always Imagine Breaker," the man lowered his arm and the arcs of electricity vanished. "Oh well. Do you still remember my name?"

"Umm…" Touma fumbled through his recent memories for this man's name. No one told him about this man's name. Even the Heaven Canceller doctor didn't talk about him. No events happened that reminded him of the man's name. No pieces of information that would remind him of-wait. The urban legends.

The urban legend that speaks of the man who uses lightning. A man that at every full moon, trigger an electrical explosion around him. A man who was the first, not the strongest, but first Level 5. Some say he's not as strong as the other Level 5s when he normally fights, but he can become severely powerful in a matter of seconds and he was growing his powers steadily for each month. There were also other rumors about him being able to use ice or flames, but not both. Having just witnessed the use of cyrokinesis, Touma concluded that this was indeed the Level 5, Cole MacGrath.

"Your name is Cole, Cole MacGrath," Cole seemed to smile at the answer. "And you're one of the first espers in Academy City."

"Half-Yes and no. I never did tell you my name but I guess you figured out from the rumours. Oh and I'm not an esper," Touma blinked at the response. The man formed what seemed to be orbs of white electricity on his hands and began juggling them. How Cole can do that Touma did not know but he was more interested in what he said next. "I'm a conduit. And my name 'was' Cole MacGrath. But I had my name changed legally."

Cole snatched the rest of the electric orbs and pointed his finger at himself. "My new name is Tabikake. Misaka Tabikake, and I hear a lot of you from my daughter."

Touma's mind went blank for a moment. He only stared at the 'conduit', who was grinning like a maniac and staring intently at him. Then he momentarily imagined Misaka's appearance. Then he thought about their powers. Their 'electrical' powers. He compared the two electric users for a bit. Then he regained his composure, a small smile forming on his face. It disappeared when he shouted.

"YOU'RE BIRIBIR'S FATHER!?"


Welp, crappy end. Crappy story.

I had this idea a long time in my mind. This idea happens to be part of a possible story and a must couple that I really want to see. Yup, Misaka Tabikake is Cole MacGrath. Don't know the implications that could occur in the To aru verse that much but I'm going with it. Come on, Cole deserves more than Trish right? With all his sacrifice I mean?

I'm also going with the 'Ray Sphere Radiation is actually the AIM Field that is controlled to a level that will not harm anyone anymore'

Oh and this Cole MacGrath could either be:

1) Canon Good Cole who survived the RFI and becomes combined with it and sent to parallel world

2) Neutral Cole who not only defeated the Beast, but allowed the Beast's powers to be given to him so that he can be strong enough to use the RFI in a larger scale, but ends up surviving and being sent to parallel world

3) Survivor Cole, a Cole that is still training for the Beast. It has not arrived in Empire City yet but he is still training. Could be Evil or Good.

Cole and Touma might be OOC and the gang's existence maybe weird but I really want to post this story already. Also Merry Christmas people! The world hasn't ended yet, (which might be connected to the Death Battles not releasing the Goku vs Superman death battle) so I have to work on my other projects in school.

Anyone, I enjoy reviews and whoever's reading this probably enjoys one of these franchises. Please review and give out your opinion on this. Don't be shy. Also, thanks to Rigorin for inspiration. You might know him as the creator of the other oneshot in this crossover section and you might want to check out his other works too

Goodbye for now.
