Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdixlGJjhu
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnHHG5JGxX
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JxTbSIgwF
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBuykNubhU
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfmLPZudzt
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2685fDVNA
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FL3s4JgaL
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvVEviQ0wg
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR5H3ACiaB
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…
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQzJTCFakH
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rBa5Ves5m
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwksFqIn6Xp
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD9uyyUHsR
It’s everywhere.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpsbAzEf0l
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2tf23P9m4
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsrtoHz1JC
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisK5rJFVPc
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwD87VC7QM
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV4mIjmILM
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQzeW7PdQh
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi3snVtTJE
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpLmj6WMgV
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1id4xRICd9
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbZamrZu1e
“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.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoIGgXy9Km
Izuku: “To do what?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrosoRw2EIi
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSvZiF81tT
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXXDq8i0HU
But one thing keeps him grounded.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3JVltKgWq
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.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5UozekrZZ
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WNorhBc4v
“I knew I chose well.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPl9KNT2Ug
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS6jXpwFAv
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSNJN3R9Zr
“You’re waking up.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP8pmBgNBW
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhniV6M4HE
“That, I have no doubt.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAoBRIcxrY
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Ve7GVFBi
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm289xQsQbU
“…My name is-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1KhGgQtVa
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA61m8tWGW4
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SqL5seBrA
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmvDc3WJYw
A lap pillow.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOsTfffTbx
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8CuWYX22r
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGuYNtSgD1
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMLL2mYwBT
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFGEFwJkkV
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas3ztXBkzD
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpEzGqkR92
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73QgQOlzJI
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg091Glptd
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqydrdpeGiZ
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnbwMn270D
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnGmfk138r
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqangM14V1
Izuku: “Ow.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJEEGdRJ27
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3fB2BkALK
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrkSuiCjj1
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYIIyVsko2
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdaJgp6HSw
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXQvpAgopi
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAO8Jj8xYd
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kdq5heLFw
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRhwdO7YAL
Izuku: “Yes!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW8pkxDCG8
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cs28383kA
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiRkCKWEn9
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxZdnQzltz
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlvER0I63b
The place looked like a warzone!
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYEaxUhWPp
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkMDQLfX7r
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFak9vXMsVk
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxBbpQ3psb
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPuOiNfeau
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuiXnu6JVh
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TituOirzU
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9TCi3kxt9
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx5mwDMhZq
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbU9u08xaW
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J3AWMWdBo
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jj4g71xic
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkYdBkyhaC
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttvYr74tZn
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNmB59j3rO
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDwdOeAdcN
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4SHiUXnw3
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi8FYogkcW
No.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk3u09yLxt
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbBsK5jIbO
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW0b1oWWln
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaGnAwiTW2
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F6RHK4TgE
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5QG70wQDK
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSlBAuRPiZ
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-
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyRVe23DZo
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0I4ZU8dwC
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fndgcyMCq
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn1w2H2FXR
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFCWVyeTHH
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoj6WnEnii
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrwZ0V40EJ
Valkyrie: “I-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM0YyJBRGY
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNG1XSRYdG
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72JkgPcF0x
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSZCAL1R2n
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ48si7aug7
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1h7b5cmvI
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdULv8zoWOQ
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYt11NcqTQ
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OPxrXGZmO
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVj9klkqMU
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGXVp7xHaq
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLJntXxece
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqozzN3O3x
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MYrKtKzrq
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVCh5BopS5
Yes, she was getting hurt.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s0Dji3Jdm
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5t1h4IGRS
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpNuMY8W2c
This couldn’t go on.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R6cEiqeYo
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F7Vm1juxQ
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71CbKEhV4O
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg8r7i1hYZ
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgAu23ahxL
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdimhg8FUvQ
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ7TJhZmGy
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGY8StorwN
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAiyz7xPFa
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJOVtMVsc5
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKYZyfNbMK
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPBoIIrViJ
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR6N5Wx92U
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ5KypKzbB
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnzKOK03ck
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IT0TSX8ex
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgFiKafdZv
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ADwyaFKRR
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx18BwR2Or3
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kPZb7CjaF
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HasjemhpI
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNENjfMuOBR
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NIa94N8Nr
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG3z06JHsS
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fq4R02LzB
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlRwC6MLQE
Valkyrie: “Family.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ieFZLeyei
Wrong answer.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadweaGfLkX
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmxUtSkS9k
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH7TrorSqN
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99OQSlesZ6
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9QgxNPswp
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNtiN8rNz7
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wftt3GWIw
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YSU5uRc4y
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7VHyK2lxL
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLOzTQr1MO
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9uH2T2qIR
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAnTEaQmAK
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvHO7g3ZhK
All eyes return to the fading boy.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCHXnig3Iz
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TLt8c42OJ
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhp2dXhGRg
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN2EFYC1RH
Tatsumaki: “How?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndYlR3zIfl
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko0Z44FNWT
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Ib3JHjGs
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKIY0dG6EM
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58gZ4WwhXD
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxtCpFjBnd
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtN8RhE3lm
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedR9KOfzqx
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRfymjbrV6
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiTITPH0Fn
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnhgxNLi1g
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaDUAvYzdz
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHk6D7HXQY
She took a moment before nodding.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprrEXlfX8a
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvpkT5iq6E
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKKqw4nk7M
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYarAC4CW4G
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbbqAfHBck
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV4aN9Ifnt
Fubuki: “Of course.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqTFuTJ9EY
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBqxMEgyUV
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%”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7r1KIyluo
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbjiYFLmo0
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBXVvGIuQv
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdqDa2NtuI
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBrXIVK5aX
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAZ3ZPXKeZ
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOVIslFoGG
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAmxHbs5Y6
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f4JVfoKFz
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGzxmrOR67
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzQjvbnMwO
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBfGZdIpGk
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqactxuZfx
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hRGqW1sp6
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQrpZ61A7r
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6o7h8iJFz
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nZiZL5qnC
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCRgpufbom

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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNCka2QKAT
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVk52t3VIw
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM9byOLtg5
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMthWpdoxN
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8QOskjCwD
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3TpzC3zOE
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1U2OG6hWn
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7I8RCsgvb
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIGRYVm37c
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUldJBkFj1
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ6MfYHgJG
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPMtMIi5F8
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr4RRlXtJ9
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46fgTxqlx2
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedgx4ykbt3
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPtm9GFbBA
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVQTgdy6Us
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml6eGFM0Zz
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJot3JwvmsQ
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gQBKVjrIT
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll57e2Y6gc
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCwTDPIFtg
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqGbVtz2XW
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjMRQPsAj
Something answered.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VizD9j4a
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UQ8xIJGB6
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSsTorTqru

Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJClR9hB1QA

Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxkdmOBfaL
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCqXz1ZW0Y
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSmopRAyHH
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpgbAlykvW
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMG0W8l2H5
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5rRyMPdPf
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMyPq1dzCa
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJFMwNU3RT
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAkjG0yXmr
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7l5VvAfnI
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D7gPWJ1LV
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I9iVvAt09
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?"
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadNKUrBRiD
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBtiPlwcNx
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ISwwQRjTD

Izuku: "Ten years..."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf0ejfDY1H
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM11Lh8CDt
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYdrIxU5J4
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOTWsZIqHY
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV27HtehLz
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonINBJC0x3
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4CqF41c2A
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok4pKNfCyO
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW54YxD9zmJ
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE60vmRXfg
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN36WHyv0N
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow3AE6f4Qf
The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXGFegTg1D

Izuku: "You must have been so lonely."

Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixJwVyz6gr

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU64mFYhyDU
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bKJGgfilj
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvnvX4m2Hq

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn9OJx2URa

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrpLUgrLRn
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXeg5QzNtB
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…
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqbF2mYtku
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGO3YvRrQ8
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jFGEiy8Dz

Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9Gi1QQl6w

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYPdXaF6Ie
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIgcDSnwRH

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV3S7ioakT
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxs12hqn0Y
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MCk1eAXVV
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNHpwfDJEl
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKxrW5OuN7

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4nVRVu3Au
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAhKhIrNYI

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOYD2X8cT6

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOEzHoi78b
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktHwY8kpjo
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.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mz0zzjJWl
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CBILYzFZa
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqGOlRX4rf
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgRSBTunug
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."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAAzk9P5Ht
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9z2TpLXmm
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3yOHs0EtP

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7XghIxqlI
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6iaBtRyvU
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."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr9Yb1Q88n
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xQ533P1qF
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."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VaGQgh36Q

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuRln7eNLi

He blanched, finally remembering.

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5K0J2qYeL
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHCNvjq6AB
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?"
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZQi0M78rH
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGDG1pAJsP
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfNbaBn7RA

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ824QOldd3U
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucDkwp2kah
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7aLNU4H9t
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm1BkJP6J5
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."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuqirHaMNN
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrYatL0ZWe
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"
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZPR0N3fBU

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CNkAmPI39
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF7QK01jLS
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."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWiNQvXSq4
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OKVOBaLKE
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."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9oR4CYoQb

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb04bW4t4W
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."
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1a2u4WBpD

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."

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.
