Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM1EMuc3uY
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJpKGSoUWL
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuysCRTnnO
His body couldn’t have healed all of that damage so quickly. Add the fact he’s not in real space and the only option becomes clear.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi25ugSN0e5
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEtAvpcYzO
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX675ByYOQx
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEubOPQkNwi
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2QWdh5n4Q
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZG5DOvDgG
It’s his family and how they will react to his death. He was finally on track to join his sisters as heroes. And for that dream and hope to be cut short…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuuxymx1jQ
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg07k5yYKqV
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5zHbt6Doy
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjlU0c3TOx
It’s everywhere.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxo40WOsuO
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX4ycrYgDE
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCIGGtFxnS
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXvgdy0Xhi
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDb72ujLfj
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1CKYETcMh
The boy takes a deep breath, settles his mind and heart. He’s not dead. His dream aren’t broken. His family won’t fall into despair.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKun0OE4J6c
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZefz3Q4Zx
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HkIEpkuZD
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvpmPfIZua
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTUdMcZ2yr
“I’m not the only one and I feel I won’t be the last. Worry not child, we mean you no harm. We are here to help you.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRPNYpBSmx
Izuku: “To do what?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsjcIaKzHW
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BVyM57rw2
Izuku’s mind is running 100 miles per second at this point. This whole situation is completely insane. If this was in the real world, his legs would have become a puddle.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvuzGdBRZz
But one thing keeps him grounded.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ928k1r199G
Izuku: “I-I-If…the world really needs me to be a hero in the future, then I will be that hero. I promise to be there.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9nPQHn1Zv
He brings up his best All Might smile and looks into the eyes of the unknown. And for an instant, he could almost swore the entity was smiling back.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgua5ABNf6i
“I knew I chose well.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F6v0oXTGq
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7mr62UGLv
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa66urqHb92
“You’re waking up.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxovlJfXX7J
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh0ecTXDJW
“That, I have no doubt.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy02ISZcEl
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2UR5VDEHn
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGe1CWK4Q2
“…My name is-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGqpVR8Nbb
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN55pyXDHS
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUATWCzDeG
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF4QmvvnVO
A lap pillow.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQClwTjeSz
The envy of all men world over and his sister Fubuki was gifting it him. But that’s not all, sitting next to her was Valkyrie of all people.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79W6VidbrX
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdL3b7t7Ug
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZy5RQk0ov
Fubuki quickly hugged him, nearly suffocating him with her chest. If she wasn’t his sister, this would be cause for celebration. But right now, the boy just wanted to know what was going on.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBz1KCOi9I
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkOWNzvXM6
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VurvbxtEF
Instead of answers, he felt someone else bring him into a hug. Unlike Fubuki’s though, this one was soft and gentle. He already knew who was hugging him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTOblrMR9G
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWmlkHyAvf
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiXBkQoidq
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhcS0OXmNk
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ydrBrHawK
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52td3MttKE
Izuku: “Ow.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hmLm9HWad
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ulRLENZXq
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmXwtKOXCG
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMgZ8IGO8W
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1zWcUjZeT
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosBBsWbY3U
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCpgNH2hke
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT24k6JbSOG
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq60avtJxN8
Izuku: “Yes!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbvarZ4fCr
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pDATQH0QB
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurG27zl4cW
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUUtdGLC6F
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTsXsqH81I
The place looked like a warzone!
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9FDXfuSIk
The whole gym was torn asunder and the only person around, aside from those already mentioned, was Recovery Girl. She was near enough to come and help if needed. But far enough to not intrude on the family matter.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHRZGkxpD5
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAVYlKF8gP
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvyVdZklaZ
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNqxeHhsjv
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtax2OQdNq
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOg5FeEX1g
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF8DgZrfQW
But seeing Izuku’s charred body, he knew he wouldn’t fight back. This is partly his fault. He should have stopped this whole thing. Or at the very least, had Tatsumaki and Fubuki here as well.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeOt4pj32N
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6r8aMoIia
So it didn’t surprise him when the ground quaked with the eldest sister’s anger and worry. It didn’t surprise him when the walls of the gym were destroyed, revealing the two sisters eyeing the burned body of their brother.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkycyPdyc6j
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgHSsfHlnX
Faster than he and the others could react, they were thrown back. Tatsumaki held Izuku up with her telekinesis while the two fretted over him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuRGOWT5WB
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhbylSK0IL
But Tatsumaki’s tears slowly dried up and were replaced with fury. She turned her piercing gaze towards those responsible. Fubuki took over holding Izuku with her powers, as to not aggravate his wounds with physical contact.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZpZjt8TvN
Tatsumaki didn’t need to say anything. She gently lifted Recovery Girl and placed her near Izuku. Recovery Girl breathed a sigh relief and focused on helping Izuku heal.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbXxOC8Das
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7OSkAFotg
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR67mjVwRV
No.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1VzkJtOY9
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vjICPfcbo
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW9Euxeia2
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P2AGdS2mx
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYMebTcAcl
For an agonizing moment, all was silent. Tatsumaki looked to Fubuki, Recovery Girl and her beloved brother. A brother who seems to be fading fast.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHIJw3u5HU
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H3MwbOkFf
The eldest sister looked back at the two men. She saw nothing but red and desperately needed someone to pay. So she raised her hands and-
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorcrhKZgcm
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn3WYCurU0
If it could get anymore tense, it just did. Fubuki and Tatsumaki looked to the new arrival. Valkyrie ran towards Izuku, not realizing what she just did.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTMLL4A3QT
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxyu5xSHzT
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvPTkqhQAc
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmShyq98om
Valkyrie was so focused on saving her brother and then consumed by worry at his state, that she failed to sense her onee-chans. Now they meet at the worst possible time.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10swj2j7sn
Valkyrie: “I-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej7rzcdR6T
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckM13ETi7i
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUCHAmdZFc
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBAuq4MYBh
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD9njFyYnV
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gk1mKImPh
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmfaPKCvGu
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6krLJSg870
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtb4NZd6Yt
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlSQVVGQ1o
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntLiSgGpgB
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLIs6h1774
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEVKPKHvFt
Valkyrie oriented herself quick enough to punch apart the debris sent her way. But the remains of that debris would fly right back at her, creating a tornado of terror.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjPQAWUZuB
Valkyrie did all she could to punch and kick away the assault, but it was too much. Small sharp fragments found their way past her defenses.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vVjujYz6T
Yes, she was getting hurt.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsSg2SXt3z
Tatsumaki psychic energy was far too overwhelming for her own powers to negate. Each flash of red and small cry of pain egged Tatsumaki on.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs5vLD0Imz
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zOT43c0RX
This couldn’t go on.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRzHqQNsDc
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq9MlYD2rV
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO3N1JS46F
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEemL4ARZCh
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqDamyqdDg
Both All Might on the ground and Tatsumaki in the air widen their eyes. And that moment of shock was all she needed to unleash an imitation of the hero her brother so admired.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa41bhIyUp8
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9qoVohyfR
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0HD1ru966
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7IJdtJjnd
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzatybEPZF
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1S0QWs1FT
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvSI3xMW8b
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1wbFgqkou
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dYhfZCPu3
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGnLmZjbR4
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD4UMFTmMa
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6N4Ml7XTm
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wc3mh9HVD
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmijT5DR5mX
Valkyrie was so weak, a feeling she never felt before. And it was caused by her older sister. Tears welled up in her milky eyes.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NCG9LDvgG
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkyqArc0eZ
And then to All Might and Nezu who both looked a bit lost at what to do. This is clearly a family drama they have little room to but in on.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO99Gj6ZqPj
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mjw8emsBk
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHdYRJkn0B
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uTfrRy2Wy
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVxGpOKTXz
Valkyrie: “Family.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FzWyLMq5M
Wrong answer.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti36NknBYR
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjB0Due1w3
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEYU5ym8PT
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09D2pEU6h0
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9cVM1ipT2
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehSko2BNrt
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDlEEeT3TA
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WoejCsjpM
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RQ5BueqSP
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrygCiRoTvm
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPn1ZDkrLS
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnPfN7yRmy
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09VA5YaT2I
All eyes return to the fading boy.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSno22JFL55
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsBnQ1P6KA
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40KfvcK8BY
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWj5yhVEwm
Tatsumaki: “How?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDgvoHwmq4
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QYOsi6JTI
The eldest sister thought for a moment and looked at her brother who was on death’s door. Any fury she felt melted at the sight. All she wants right now is for him to live.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YeXmezoUP
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKyW3ONxHb
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVycZiWalW1
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZYJn1Aakw
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS3MgCcrVx
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKK3QCo6KL
Valkyrie used the rest of her strength to touch Izuku. In that instant, she glowed green and the healing flames returned in full force. Izuku was rapidly healing while Valkyrie shrunk in size.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheYEAyc7hP
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYucXargj18
Everyone crowded around in relief to see Izuku healing from his wounds. There are still some burns but those will heal with time as well.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErnRXlFkRR
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p54ajW6I4
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgUcrKOawk
She took a moment before nodding.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNjGSNmDcn
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX1ve2268k
They all look back to see the damage Tatsumaki caused. Then they looked at her. She couldn’t look at them and so turned away in embarrassment.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8dIF15IEn
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D7e0gR7YC
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlKvc6105K
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XuwVuEW4z
Fubuki: “Of course.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm3Xk2OGzg
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Vgz6W9pR
Recovery Girl: “Yes, but I’ll take a little trip to the office to get some extra supplies. To help bring Midoriya back to 100%”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrG1dW5hdR
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGITqBiStoM
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIDf2fLB3Y
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohdV0Rc1k0
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoejRIQM8B
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN7PHGK2R9
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW334Skbsdn
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPyyCXQVOf
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wYEBsElmF
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPmJ5nz8UX
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zoSOclJ4g
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEnYL6vaF0
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf4NrVpHrd
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3f10TbTfJ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13IclWxNFR
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"

The two sisters looked at the scene with a slight blush and they weren’t the only ones. Izuku was also blushing, and cursing his hormones. He always found Valkyrie pretty.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3XnrvpSx2
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UF5tHlSIu
But he knew she wasn’t trying to kiss him, so he kept still and waited. Trusting that this is all apart of the process.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUrJ5Z5CcA
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsByH34jBaf
Valkyrie closed her eyes and pressed her forehead against his own. For a moment all he felt was the warmth of her skin against his.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE3Knx0HIq
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dgdSx32K3
Then it was like he'd been doused in buckets of icy water, images flashing before his eyes like a badly edited film reel. Colors that couldn't exist, memories with a first-person view showing a body that didn't belong to him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW5Lr1mVG4
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmbe0i1Wta
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0dINiOAxY
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGfYO7A4hw
A smiling team of heroes dressed in cat-themed regalia. A man crying in the hospital, alone and wrought with regret. Pale ghostly hands ripping through reinforced steel like wet cardboard.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrxaxKWqwA
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX2hWLAGIe
More and more images hammered his mind. He couldn't clearly understand them all, but he got the basic gist of what they were supposed to be. Snippets and chunks of Valkyrie's life, unfolding backwards in visual format like a VCR tape on rewind.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFl4Xe9E6
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjdJivAbrk
Finally, he saw a familiar view of the city. Izuku knew this scene, it was the exact same landscape he'd see if he looked out his window.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQoPpW3TR9
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvqkaxxS26
Except this point of view was a little higher. The roof of his apartment. A single glowing tentacle reached out, the tip splitting into five distinct ends, forming fingers, then a hand. Thunder boomed in the distance as rain pattered off the frightened limb.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAinRqnkuKx
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCt1Sw9VKk
He somehow remembered this night. It was the very same night he'd cried into his sister’s arms, lamenting the cruelty of life. This was when Valkyrie was born, ten years ago.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xsaJMGeS5
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTGFCvMuBF
Then, there was the connection between Master and Projection. An electrifying jolt like a DC current, simple, steady and carrying a numbing shock as two minds bridged into one. A direct feed to something deeper, primal and terrifyingly familiar.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsSYdYX6M7
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hAAoMTF2b
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1vIPDjxe4
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMmKLn0wiT
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUsP931PJV
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3vek5A5IS
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj0mHBPDrn
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi6ErKzxBN
Something answered.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUyLnnxZvf
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwpsu8Q7ym
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8HqxTc3pM

Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yHE1rxVxH

Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXvawAWXva
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBB9If2Cu1
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr5dQUrtbf
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9u0EtEufb
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEzXgi2Z4D
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQFqafb9zL
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY8gUQQQMY
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeIW4yKhNT
She'd just shown him key memories of her life compressed into the span of seconds. Conveniently giving him the general rundown of her story and relation to him. But most importantly, she had shown her origin…and how he'd created her.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEQ1TvzQfe
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQjnVlvlhX
The irony of the situation wasn't lost on him. The crackpot theorists were right on the assumption that Valkyrie wasn't human. She was a construct…his construct.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3s6n3D7t6
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBPnDDDnyb
Izuku: "Y-you. You're me. A part of me. All those weird dreams I've been having. My emotions being kept in balance when I got too scared or stressed since I was young…it was all you, wasn't it?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrVEs7a5bK
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKILIUuhch
She nodded, patiently waiting for him to continue. If he looked a little closer he would have seen her trembling with a barely restrained excitement.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy3s7wrdG1

Izuku: "Ten years..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiuO96L7So
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoBSny6C47
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd9Jyp9cUQ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92aK7dl6oJ
He really was never quirkless. All this time, he was like everyone else. If she didn’t show him why she didn’t tell him earlier, he’d be mad.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ6YLRlM4N
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx7gQZz9g7
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj9snjYXcH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn14FBZHcO
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAFX7nB3kO
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuaeh4D6Pb
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZYAU5lhch

The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.

Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYuDSqbNBy
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hniuvVaxY
She nuzzled against his chest happily. He could somehow get a basic feel of her current mood, right now she was ecstatic, positively vibrating with joy in the arms of her creator. To her, this must have been like a religious experience. He sighed, rubbing her head gently with a somewhat parental instinct.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcaFtpFf8g

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZe3Y8HXpK
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh3s3HcHDL
Unbeknownst to them Fubuki’s eyes flinched at the term little sister. A position she held and something Tatsumaki rarely calls her. Something else she can lose…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGcQFcRdvM
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipE0zH6o8a
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybbyvVeOCx

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eXF3jufky
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmo9ZkECkR
Izuku looks to see Nezu and All Might coming to greet the recently revived boy. Only Valkyrie was a bit surprised at All Might’s true form. Not wanting to interrupt, she kept silent for now.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1xSyZchvt

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB5yNih5qa
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg65fTX6Gq8

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxXFi11L88
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Pb8Bl23m
Nezu: “Most welcome. To be honest, I'm rather beside myself with eagerness to see what you'll make of yourself, Midoriya. Your Quirk is amazing, and if my suspicions are right, you may only be scratching the surface! Telekinesis, telepathy, mental projection and Pyrokinesis are all subsets of psychic powers. You might have full access of that power set.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03tWTBOuRW
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHJKYAbtSc
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyFu2MHeIY
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zq3PzjSWu
Nezu: “So perhaps you should pick up a couple of those really old comics and manga from the last millennium. You may find some amazing ideas in them that you're able to replicate."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHqfUmjm7L
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpiIWG2vtI
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqqXMJuWjn

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAi2t3Dj3h
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibeiPiNNGw
All Might: "I do! He's the perfect candidate! When I first offered it to him, he didn't even hesitate to think of others first. He wondered if it would be fair to others if he took it now that he had his Quirk. That kind of selfless nature, his bravery, and his sense of justice are hard to come by. Even before he had his quirk he didn't even hesitate to try to save someone from a villain."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gj2zMFwa7
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1mQfAy8G1
Nezu: "I agree. And that is why, even though I feel he really has the potential to succeed you as the Symbol of Peace, it pains me to say that he can NOT become the next holder of One For All."

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpO3pa5TgA
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvua8xFTHv
Nezu: "Precisely. One For All overpowered Float so badly she nearly broke her own neck. And she had been training her Quirk for years. Just what do you suppose it will do to HIS Quirk?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxe2gL8pmm
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSrF4QNKpW
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyK4KVBHHl
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7DgTG5Iea
Nezu: “So let us perform a scenario analysis on what would happen if Izuku were to accept One For All. Scenario one: Izuku accepts the Quirk and they stay entirely separate. Now he has two Quirks he has hardly any practice with. With the potential he's shown us with only two months of training, they may even end up being equally powerful. He now has to divide all his time in training two Quirks that have nothing to do with one another. One For All is not a Quirk you just have. He will break himself without dedicating his body to training it. He would have to leave his original Quirk by the wayside, and I can see in his face that he clearly is not interested in that."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI8kYaGvNE
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibNQh2okot

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaV1bDjp1C
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI4JxpbvXv
Nezu: "Exactly. Izuku would become a jack of all trades, master of none. He would be hurting his own potential by stretching himself too thin."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi4Nbn4m77
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOY9tUWDRY
Nezu: “And that is the better scenario. The worst-case scenario is that One For All merges with his original Quirk. All of the stockpiled power stored in your Quirk, now powering his."

Nezu: "He would be breaking things with even the slightest touch of his Quirk. Crushing full trucks into soda cans. Picking people up to rescue them and putting them on the moon. How could he possibly learn control when even the lightest touch could be enough to send something he struggles with now straight into orbit? He could never use his Quirk again. He'd be back where he started. For all intents and purposes… Quirkless."

All Might was looking even more deflated than usual. Chiyo spoke up, finally deciding to speak.

Izuku had stayed silent as they spoke, and for once, it was him putting his hand on All Might's shoulder.

All Might: "This changes nothing, shonen. I promised to train you as my successor until the entrance exam and train you I shall. You're still my student and my successor, even if I can't give you One For All! We'll make you the greatest hero in the world yet, Midoriya-shonen!"

All Might smiled, once more seeing the potential of his successor. Even if things weren't going to go the way he wished, he could rest easy knowing someone like Izuku Midoriya was part of the next generation. He bumped his fist against his student's, sealing the promise.

Valkyrie, because she won’t be replaced. She can rest easy that she’s apart of her brother’s powers and so won’t be cast out.
