Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZayt3dNbJR
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJOQU6kY7Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wf46oU2Nj
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ7xLq6hCz
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4mNs4ySUo
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6admJLAxl
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeci8aBVQK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEuqk1bd0a
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWthr8ILZPZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WhNv8PQKz
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBdUFt4mJ8
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66uq5MxOQd
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEIVckf8gu
It’s everywhere.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvP7fpky4z
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr1Y4TTRk7
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxMT9r0n9w
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsa7cqK82R
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86fskwvbsb
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhsW4VxupG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYuxOdKsIl
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSDJBcDSNQ
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumUgE5w9ZD
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi53gfvM8V
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPo4SxwwS6
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQGjBYvT8O
Izuku: “To do what?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZnmaZbc1h
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AUteyUsZz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaMFiO1Auv
But one thing keeps him grounded.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDrG6byDzt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43vv6xuIWe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WiLTyTAtP
“I knew I chose well.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXH1yYfzVc
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzV1Q6FCAU
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZPyEkGm2n
“You’re waking up.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nqc2ivgKf
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pcTqKFfSR
“That, I have no doubt.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcfzODhIbt
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzdqjkjaWO
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSg4huMbxD
“…My name is-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfejVIb2YOj
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa1FiYPlB7
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3d3OLJwlI
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj05SYcIVoo
A lap pillow.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWv0ZlBmJS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyhkHNbEdI
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW5WsaCzin
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3homJTmoQJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwBtSMYNpv
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0qjzJDx57
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyI82h8KIS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiHPdYFZyw
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXQKyOL38i
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhG2dWUdKU
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg8dUaXZvi
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGtrn3XY0T
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnAQS89xFZ
Izuku: “Ow.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQAF3ojJTp
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRJOCD69AK
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc8utNdLFt
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Taws9IUYI
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM9Fxyih1W
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59qm6mwywi
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi3iTyo7CA
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17SbhBHiFL
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdRZla3J4M
Izuku: “Yes!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpgvcrlCp6
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxlO3wfboq
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9ij0jU6oW
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb8hoUbWWY
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJtjj3jtEK
The place looked like a warzone!
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcfFNz1af2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKdLQuHBFq
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY6zZtQpYQ
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKA6J8RUGL
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V3xzaeQXG
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIJJXSLv99
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fWHMap002
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJZleLul7E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfpQU2dhc1
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw6j7ZXM3d
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4BjHrUO6V
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsErC9Z7LJx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdX0Fw7bfO
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtauSkhCGyZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSausV2tze1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg1Upq3E40
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNz5y3HHJr
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoiTVvo043
No.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeJTCgRa0t
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB21yCBENxp
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WB23fYRC6
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS68CyWD4iw
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91NeNwK4fx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoy7WFSFmB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4OiQhx7fm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLPBftcgqQ
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6arS9FbpOI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrYm5Uc3Fb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUlmCuq1AW
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVxYqiSj0m
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYThnMSgBL0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxL8Ob6CL2
Valkyrie: “I-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWhlIozh84
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHWCNGWNcs
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMva4GIdogi
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ4P28PSVg
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yYxEFdeeY
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOrJEU2fDR
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6MBmQVJRI
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD2vvtPd9p
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o1hv7MC9w
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRLLcuNaMu
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKefzxRJqMs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmODrKe84z
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlqxeE9LzR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleO4RRIGGf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8uAxqWxQo
Yes, she was getting hurt.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7MP1JKv1v
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sky8VNOl5
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmH3mQyWg3
This couldn’t go on.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuxU7H65ib
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQowkaLlRM
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviJdBlUQbZ
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjOnwapBdU
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2nxTLUcic
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz2WaYzYSX
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPCMK0qalI
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgII6tFIiNN
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQf6DkFHhN
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7VXjYY43x
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB077hN0ja
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSbyNDAZdU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEjcZK6ISa
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRySzswvknx
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSS2o0cpas
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGypQWCszhH
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIsrgomhGV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKreHbG6HVe
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtYdQmu3xO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5azQ3Otoiu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nkPWhLN7b
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w6r18vgi7
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnOi0WHcGq
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkNTv1sGbx
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9LDv2kgp1
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mMYXd0qJ5
Valkyrie: “Family.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9fxYEeDQE
Wrong answer.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcCOSqyGdZ
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYewNZdygc
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTHAWXnwTW
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn43Yu9WIge
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nlQgduXTs
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMkjyFp8RD
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ016t9w0bm2
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCE3d5HpiR
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67wurXOYvX
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PtV1f8vIR
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsnwqK2mZf
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgp5carUDk
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGZO2ZGIS9
All eyes return to the fading boy.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWm34tFgyY
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtfGFXZj58
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYwYKt0vJH
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEQbVuoB6o
Tatsumaki: “How?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACVlb2yEU6
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2BAB1EfTG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhIUrNWvCN
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kvEqxLgp2
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgpv351JfK
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgd1LKlVW1
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lmk3dvVlL
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28vp4laC7L
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfujRaLs5Rx
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyRKzJrk94
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Fswqp8yc
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z6f5q6TmY
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJOG9S40Q7
She took a moment before nodding.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBRuLJqAAr
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugFMaQQ529
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbsy5M4yLy
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYkV51y980
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFyHWVNH54
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVI6HRL8Aw
Fubuki: “Of course.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUOprRuyKc
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIM9jRl4A7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk7RCoAAlv
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF4xMKaTSI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHebZIbvnZE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLScMlqz3k
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYMrBUu39w
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35iE8XDqLW
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl29YwX3EZ
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn2qb44ruk
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa13qXkd49g
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoBx5wvJcj
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbsQPirKyp
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJHkYm3Sef
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5XA1jBTI6
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Ti0244RR

Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkVb4tnOJf
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsQ99QrjKq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRgwlXq4rt
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJAKcgOXNe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcgp9vnhsj
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzEoMdxiff
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXVfOpdLnb
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEUtAoZOjx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJkjVEUxLI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06LpGguyBg
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJdVkmWSl9
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kI6QDThi0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW7Fd0MNPt
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQoNi7guxc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyli1DmGd7h
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVXYLoYv8L
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ618AIMWQgS
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOADteUV5e
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99m0xEzgH4
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HafRCtNJq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD411akeB60
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmg6jzBbF3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp6zjznf1g
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8JT0F0VZs
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQUBH9ljIs
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZnAdWVWen
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOd21bfRwL
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42qvEkVwpV
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZxr0QFwNF
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqSud2NR8H
Something answered.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1hryKBY5M
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgcn8VSOrT
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSYlBEVaUC

Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWZqfdeL3s

Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwWMR05Ea
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Z80kiDFE
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lBkHaruKR
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5r3fwV24n
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoxNqw3OcC
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiAtJRl6Tk
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJslYtuhja
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXTmiNpZX8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJb3lVjMOs
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPG80WZMKR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgdMk39q3z
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCfGsrz4Gr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpJuhmlxA2
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yCoovmAGl
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.

Izuku: "Ten years..."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJHM64Yyb3
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJZhwxOXmx
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk7OBJaAF3
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgseQ88l5Fv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMakENiNUmg
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmkSC739g1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU6S8VgrcU
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY5ZYvEYwO
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuBVz6Ofyh
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRBbneQ5Kr
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0lpjUoYQM

The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUyKodQSez

Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5E01mz3NP

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzNWUUrCbZ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqXBttXfMG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xScqz6TgS

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDzO5iiYzI
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLb27LJ2d2
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrLJlDyH3V
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EZIVEvWzy
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16pcqcDuL5
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sxc9aUVpM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77XIyuyhjG

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW0S6vHNaP
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFptAJd3BX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbS3x3JI4w
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndD7bS9yP7
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdY5L4SuXE
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBtJloJiRg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyuQKyjULQ
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy4zG9KT6S
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKI4ZkpDSm

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUZwF0yPkX
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhzYZBjOhb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSwwYwgrjW
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoiIJ0dAQ3
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."

He blanched, finally remembering.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tx0HqDqXd

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC57mtqdIP
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ja3ZaIIJ6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewiuC0P2An
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZj9jHKrXp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUcrpkA70V
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHNmi3vhJa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xEBXQkN8r
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfnZKjYdzI

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ82nbAhT6z
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v0UTCLZj9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAvhxb3HkM
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTZqwQsYQV
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."
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLCxIyDIIH
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsosZMgQaJE

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ck8qTpKyn
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."

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!"

He started laughing a little boisterously.

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

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…
