The statement "Also in Volume 22, Misaka Worst said half-jokingly she wants the same fatherly treatment he gives to the other Misaka clones" was taken out of context.

The exact words were  “'''Oh, should you really be pressing a gun between Misaka’s eyes, you parent? This Misaka would like to be treated the same as the other Misakas'''.”.

The "you parent?" phrase there is her being sarcastic and it is in no way a joke. Before that, was this dialogue: Accel: “I'm glad to see you can express your emotions so abundantly, but I’d rather the other dolls didn’t learn from you.” Worst: “Quit talking like you’re a parent....."

She did not imply that she wants Accelerator to be like her father/parent. In fact, she does not want him acting like one towards her. It is her saying "Care for me too like you care for Last Order.". It is probably a mix of Last Order's interference and her own feelings. Regardless, she is starting to want care and attention from Accelerator too. Unlike Last Order, Worst can deal with Accelerator on equal footing and can enter into a real argument with him.

Regardless of what the Author state in the afterword of him parenting Last Order, it is obvious that he is not capable doing so because he is a bit of a child himself. Wanting to protect her is not the same as being a father/mother to her. In fact, his inability to deal with Worst's expressing her thoughts and emotions proves that. He is just being haughy most of the time and Worst is capable of piping him down. Based on his request to her, she might be capable of being a life-partner he can rely on.

'''“…Misaka Worst.” Accelerator’s words were as quiet as a whisper. “I am going to stop that. Can you protect that brat?”'''
