Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErtyiNchvy
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvYcvgWkJH
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqBZhsb0mf
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JXajLoH6F
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDszonBQuV
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmDv24aClG
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5K4CcUiY0
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjNPdbBtgR
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSmcRU2Uj8
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…
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWA7FV4XSD
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHIjJM7un3
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WZgYOFGSD
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpyEP5oYql
It’s everywhere.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheUs5vr0lS
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC1Don1NTk
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRJjyNpFhS
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sieRZ63ry
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeZFuz5X98
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5OIIm3uzC
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm02xuGMQh
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sEwGiz68M
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1PNIqYsAQ
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJKrcS0kOO
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2PPnV4Gps
“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.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xfu4PQOgu
Izuku: “To do what?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBcmfxeKmB
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcQFGCftpl
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ix1xjN3qs
But one thing keeps him grounded.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykiMZ3oevZ
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.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i4Sk0uBSZ
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pwgQupxTa
“I knew I chose well.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3n9pbYbfd
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tSUlpe528
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI7HCesH4G
“You’re waking up.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcGPlrbEfT
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ULWUsmcQz
“That, I have no doubt.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZIDmEUfjo
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yGolPNrJz
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn0KslZOsH
“…My name is-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBajtqqmRV
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzuxwgVpQO
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmmyFzFQ5N
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMUOs25K0z
A lap pillow.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNbg5w9qMs
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2zgxwLMp2
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNuGWpvG7v
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvu8pNDQ54
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeS3V2mWzq
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvxTJoK3CY
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMn6kRruvu
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSkSwNGq1V
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48sZvhnKAd
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vOW0QtTQQ
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3fs8cuO1j
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMhi7pRd7Q
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvAETVzMCf
Izuku: “Ow.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDCmmavdlV
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaNAbrYqhJ
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLURYjnudX
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNbeqkTG8U
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4A688oIWk
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVfWkQeWTn
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8jzeHswJH
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Vjv6637O
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmk525Cq5a
Izuku: “Yes!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eSZh5tEcX
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVy9rYEjEN
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ClkAv95W
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SqkIm8RNi
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4KzoDfDmT
The place looked like a warzone!
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRRoaPlL3i
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMi3qWTMM5
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbLYWwHHCz
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT48kZ679e
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nHOSS3hHI
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Qv6mT9MF
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8AC6vCRB7
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalgOyzkVNF
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj8zsoN9ZZ
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I1R7glmuc
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyiBGWMUQ2
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh8HBlDDPD
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6HIVxIWaB
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsjWvBGxJR
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszHJDwT9sv
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadj2EAeke6
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK7HBWv43S
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRo5JTnOYS
No.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUcWh4rAxY
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡila2dGqSr9
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6HFU1gniO
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBI4cr3Je6
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ekzt3MOM
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9eHZDZ3T6
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwNvb3YtnD
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-
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWcseZLgUh
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIx9JOLSxm
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG8zEgzSpI
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqZRsOHeZM
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzVo1CrtiC
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhKWI27OZh
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uf4DQQuQX
Valkyrie: “I-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t18AjceKT
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZJk26tVCl
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcrOPR7Ff0
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY7XG5gHCa
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlU9fwfwbt
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ557AuM87oR
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXZ89QiSeA
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXfl3nKbyS
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu3U1KqAwU
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcslEPgSQ9F
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAZsjKJadM
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s7BWldm2b
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNO4OA8y2u
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqn0ryzFNd
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjfiWTqfhB
Yes, she was getting hurt.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xHtlMiT9S
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHvL4lmp9R
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3stJ2NwEIA
This couldn’t go on.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uJ9kOWwYl
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakcZxzXs9A
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA1LQWV8gz
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeo6FO3Mc5
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vrgbMuRE5
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57xgXVm5Fj
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4zaLB4b2K
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX99HQtAdtK
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSm2g2IDII
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ut5eeD9Lk
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LtNPVArvT
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXF0RGDyvH
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8gkwonzHn
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhQjzbRbhC
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQFvOINJc9
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTxkNJbK3q
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqmZO2YjN5
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvXCgQPeg4
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ZF1iC00c
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqQqwTUMLH
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipKy27RG9a
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmytZ52dKYz
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl8y5pUuyL
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM6WbgoybQ
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYMTRuGvdX
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZaJ3WyvSf
Valkyrie: “Family.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg9xQpvihW
Wrong answer.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJbyuHQdrE
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0767t9A1ww
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheElWlUITB
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pf8v6RC8P
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09kkAwjuuL
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJcKJOq7UX
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz3V1HD2Y8
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzIujpBIxO
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRuk1ZqryX
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXNV2dXFD3
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjuMrEwHM2
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclQVoujtQu
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJAtjFTQts
All eyes return to the fading boy.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9MHrinqH3
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiePJI1YYM1
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQylrCgMt5
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjy9Jizb9D
Tatsumaki: “How?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqj5SMkiGU
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMoCUwdCu6
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU64olhRqSd
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodN7RlKI1h
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HswNwDjKj
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0t1GPWEvL
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm4FC7Gre8
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQg3HLLSgn
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOby3XPTbkj
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEipomZOc1
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61wZo7gZOU
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdImj9Einq
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3dyswYe6E
She took a moment before nodding.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowElItC9rQ
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hL3KOhr7y
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkqDNyeWUK
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz3zmeLruZ
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdctAHdwIPY
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcHLqDn8hZ
Fubuki: “Of course.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SkIeo5HdQ
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww3c183NyR
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%”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaQ4meou3O
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1CZjIOXhX
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7hCNVepY5
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxGJsgCdHc
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4seDbEYOqs
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZXTCFhqqR
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TJjsk4ogc
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0TnFdGv0q
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJRPMrO9vk
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkP3tU3fye
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Aj0Q20Of
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ECdLOE26O
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNxppIDJ83
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbeviawOm7

Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwvgG7NmH9
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPJM6sTxMp
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5ShId7aJL
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsTKYS53Ho
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzBjW70d6i
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcgZrfH0Uz
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzyDA4F4vG
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE91jcSAhnL
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O4NudQnda
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJzQOPLJxT
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyhEwc39zb
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYgTqmIGLu
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7h7pp9ULP
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzVJlPg8sx
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MMChXbmbH
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BWGQtf4DP
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWev4Sy5dxT
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1pd6527Fo
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ho7zyJEmY
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcNfhQi5xT
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OoQl5H1Cu
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SWyNmeshM
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIuCrTVyKO
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLGZfr1aRO
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3hoRcfjFl
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa8gCHXmRK
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8jOPemmRl
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rtNb3xfOj
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Z8Cs6JIL
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AsdZyyhaW
Something answered.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbHvij0Spe
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2TPL3zgxp
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNN0brCij8
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4hf756ALK
Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TowEQwPyx
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsf2kwmQdQ
Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHoS766Msa
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ApRziTGoy
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qnG7gyhi5
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqaw2mdRQj
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCD9AUyGMr
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdOuga98Ge
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7dVQ7i8Ux
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2gbTZqu0e
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwCWJRh7fF
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDcNy2ux1G
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7Ivdt73F
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsoGGhdvrl
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?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxw8qM93hF
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtNBvxIC4t
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr4GBey6fh
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS75N7TXFrb
Izuku: "Ten years..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeUCM0pe1K
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlPxdogqd8
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhLqJTqILM
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3FWrvEWZg
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYflXKSmFK
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sNvKQzYNZ
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOJoGt1ckx
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3YPPflhUt
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnGXfznO7I
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfqOngeUS4
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyQgp1BiWh
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpj9JVvwrE
The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXG8neJA46
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDnsNsTNSx
Izuku: "You must have been so lonely."

262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTFIxrAwHq
Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJYJLn8hm9
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoTvxaoW0S
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQQSSntswg
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Gj9X0rhR
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbXpZnzDnk
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91lslphW6j

Tatsumaki gently moved the two from each other with her powers.

Valkyrie: “Oneeeeee!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQYDf5cweK

Valkyrie pouted at being separated from her big brother.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlypzOxcmT5

Izuku: “Is it that bad?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDd5ZL6bIS
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlYci9Y0Zg
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwU6BfQIDH
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBcucRMSGu
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…
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeXwbTCptf
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBrBgZdlph
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjOYMTBkfb

Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkb9AV89CC

Izuku: “But we can’t abandon her!”

262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfpKoroVSN

She lets the two down but her glare makes sure they don’t go holding onto each other.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj9oVTCl3q

Tatsumaki: “Where do you live Valkyrie?”

262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7D3NjzlWA

262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc4NamVDRe
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZJFXBgJHd
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1kWIopFKx
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mpjgBPAIO
‘This is just the first step. You’ll be replaced. You’ll be left behind.’
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rO8Is0n5c

262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ssKFYQiO
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDwESghSL1
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.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYChBMJbWI
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQT1Tlg3D5
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vUObPAhSX
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOdVhiiB4S
Tatsumaki’s cold stare shut down any more ideas for experimentation.

Nezu: “Nevermind.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTGYfWvRZh

Izuku got up and bowed to the principal.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsEMaQqzIy
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc4H46Fxmz

Nezu: "It's quite alright young man."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfcGEkBwI9

Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm1wYaQMAv
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEEWBuOLG8
Nezu: “Sadly, we're out of time today. But you'll still have Toshinori to train you today.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbkvxsGLDW

262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdOtyYeVVC
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgehrxZ8T80

262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNQmwq40tF
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88fS2pFw0t
All Might: “That’s an excellent idea. Her experience in the field could even rub off on her fellow students.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgjzZizD98
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6DgjSR6im

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWtmNL2qNn
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0bVq3gOVq
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.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvArR6HxUZN
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw8Zy4kkju
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu6U0CONFB
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ222mDZ7dOZ
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."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbiQHXKj4c
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVHKbCTZU1
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmVOvTYN4d
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdBlh7BX9p
Izuku: "I will! Thank you for the advice, principal!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vjtzBuXCb
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz9bV9R9yV
Nezu: "You're a good kid Midoriya-san. I can see what Toshinori saw in you. You have great potential!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDRMdW6kmp
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeluw3pSIG
He turned to the man in question as Izuku went scarlet.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y4MXJe0Ae
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvGvDSniRo
Nezu: "Speaking of, you intend to pass One For All to him, don't you?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx6raAdj7K
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcYlEP0wpL
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."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB1WsFRXTN
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx7PgMLS3n
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."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSnDfPO7fz
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxvrnJDyCv
Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC5vSFmuFs

Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9R5JPFR7u
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysFdnl3tnf
Nezu: "Remind me again of the story your master told you? Of what happened to her when she first gained One For All."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cf8ahYYhp
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqt3hcikJd
All Might: "Master? Uh… If I recall, the first time she tried to use Float after she got One For All, she…"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEqMhIbxzy
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jM85TH1ga
He blanched, finally remembering.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7WbPCCSLX
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVT1z4uoGO
All Might: "She…She…flew headfirst into a wall."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl9bzTyjil

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf9VTtunce
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetXdjOChUO
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?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC9TjOJJAd
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qehWHeK3u
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5KR6BM5g6
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZSeWfVkWN
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGU49wq7Eb

All Might: “It was a long time ago!”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdecpvFkwY
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo42OnyQ3I4
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sg9XDUZWZ
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvajKnZyms
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."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3KX2pTRxj
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrG37OzwcL
Izuku: “No…I'm not. I…I finally have a Quirk. Something to make me unique. Something that is all me…that ties me to my family"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt5UnvoADn

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4frTbY2hV9
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFswumAz2dn
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."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY595jRMtue
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yvafy5aBA
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."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpcaheXL33
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3IUue9og1

Fubuki: “But that’s only if he can control it. It’s too dangerous.”
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfeH8pWrvC
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIFBbKUaj7
Nezu: “Correct. Toshinori, you could never had met your master if she had killed herself flying into that wall. If Torino hadn't been there she may have done just that."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfENjGo9D7
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79VxZjO1Jy
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtChcy7M2M4

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.

Nezu: "I'm sorry Toshinori. I know how extremely happy you were to have found your successor."

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!"

He started laughing a little boisterously.

Izuku: "And here's my promise to you, All Might. I'll search high and low if I have to! We'll find your successor to One For All!"

Izuku: "And we should still keep it in. A hero shouldn't be a one-trick-pony, right?"

262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF9pNe8GHf
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.

No, she shakes that idea of her head. But the more she looks at her brother, the more she sees Psykos…
