A side-story set within the Murder Series that follows Accelerator and Misaka Worst of A Certain Magical Index, set sometime after Murder XII: Welcome to the Falls. Partially a crossover with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure to foreshadow a future event.

Academy City.
A place where the impossible was possible, where the fantastic was mundane, and the extraordinary was... little more than ordinary, for the most part.
Needless to say, a kind of city like this where a number of students (students themselves taking up the majority of the population) have access to Esper powers ranging from teleportation to electrokinesis, manipulation of the human mind, and more, could be considered rather different from the ordinary city that you would find in the rest of the world.
However, with all the things that were different, there were some things in the world that would never change, no matter what, it seemed.
For example, akin to what you would see in other densely populated places like New York City, Tokyo, or Kowloon, Academy City was the kind of place where one could expect to be crowded during many times of the day, filled with students rushing to class on foot, cars making their way down the road to get to work, and the like, everything coming together as one would get a feeling of the bustling energy within the environment.
But more prominently, there was another thing.
A feeling of having something like a family.
Granted, as mentioned earlier, the majority of the city's population consisted of students, most of whom only made a temporary residence here, but if one looked close enough, namely in a certain apartment complex called Family Side, you could find it.
Contrary to what one might initially believe from the name and the description beforehand, Family Side has little to do with housing actual families, but rather, adults and other personnel, namely teachers, though this certain "family" was quite the special case. Not exactly as bizarre as one might think, but Accelerator, Last Order, Misaka Worst, Kikyou Yoshikawa, and Aiho Yomikawa all made quite an interesting family, if one could even call it that.
Dysfunctional as some may believe the family to be, the place was probably more homely than other actual homes in "normal" places. What they might have lacked in connection by blood, they made up for with... something. If asked, everyone would likely give a different answer, but perhaps the basic gist of it can be described as something "genuine," corny as it may sound.
Accelerator wasn't really a fan of sappy stuff like that either, personally, not that he'd ever admit he was secretly a sucker when it came to these things with these people.
But if there was one thing he couldn't deny...
"Oi oi, Accelerator-kuuun!" The voice of a certain high school's P.E. teacher named Aiho Yomikawa called out on a day like any other, with nothing out of the ordinary happening, even for the standards of this extraordinary city, "I need you to do something for me!"
"No," came the Strongest Esper's flat reply, without missing a beat.
For the city's strongest Esper (a title that some believed he didn't deserve on account of the losses he had suffered in the past), life could be quite boring for Accelerator. He didn't have any particular hobbies besides beating on cocky idiots who thought they were hot stuff, enough that they thought they could "dethrone" him, and there was nothing that particularly caught his interest on TV, so he just spent most of the day today laying on the couch, partially being grouchy about being bored (some would say it's a silly thing to be grouchy over, but he'd been grumpy over less than that in the past), and partially enjoying the freedom of not having anything to do, though it seemed that Yomikawa was intent on disturbing that peace.
"Eh? What was that?" Yomikawa asked, walking over to the younger man and looking down at him, arms crossed, "I wasn't asking, y'know. If you have time to laze around, then you've got time to fetch some groceries!" She exclaimed, producing a slip of paper, presumably the list of what they needed, from her pocket and holding it out to Accelerator.
"And I didn't say maybe, I said no," he grunted curtly in response.
"Jeez... You're such a pain! You're lucky that I let a freeloader like you in out of the goodness of my heart! I mean, even Worst has done more for his household than you have! I bet she'd be perfectly willing to go out and be a dear! Isn't that right, Worst?!" Yomikawa would grunt, speaking in a higher volume as she'd call out for Misaka Worst, wherever she might be.
"This isn't gonna end well..."
