Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIwjo5RsQs
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbhHrINLDr
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe0u1divn7
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJrWqTWaYM
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BqPYJzJ3I
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH0N9aTpAW
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZfHHRjZJ4
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0yPRMIPk3
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgAtbW6a8g
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…
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguEM0FPXZi
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfU1uFA4Zj
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jGkP5yyW2
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkqRod0mxl
It’s everywhere.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS5Y60k1pQ
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUEkfnfsok
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUlRAf7wfh
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7lvIwYd6Z
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5JhZ2aRcA
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi210FEJ10
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx5l8IE4Ge
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzreth6mMy
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX08v8rYPD
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjU7hjXNXC
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTeelQLfLN
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5FYjiu8Bs
Izuku: “To do what?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR6qR74rEv
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MiO0M6RmI
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZDBpk8HVK
But one thing keeps him grounded.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKLqLZRlEv
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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuGj1KJC2p
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIs6wOXbUB
“I knew I chose well.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCf55ZOI1L
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDbDHtmjJK
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLDH1i6lIi
“You’re waking up.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlzVAQTmKj
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1usqhqVQHF
“That, I have no doubt.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej4prf4GBC
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJzSm8GyhK
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhZ9alnl7W
“…My name is-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kOmic07tn
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpihWPdo90y
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfpXKOEHTv
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHUMrT5SnQ
A lap pillow.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtApfKEPay
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNolOIS8ti
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN20lozBcpv
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gdsWgsb6w
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWq6qoFCel
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsedklADs0
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RT8IHZJEI
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKmuTkzJ2k
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpGuPhEAL5
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32os2oUslC
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdYhfDXzZJ
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE09d4YWdgy
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkpNNcl8gi
Izuku: “Ow.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3SO10Vfi5
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekOONiHkTS
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZzxiSWMtd
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS35fSQc5Q
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVQpJUzbwY
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnOUSOGwdY
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce95VTCQJW
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjUD07PDYv
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9JSHNGEVl
Izuku: “Yes!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQsiH2JcMc
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCZiF1QyMy
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaLkxakkTh
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjVDZPOjv6
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtegiRcFIsL
The place looked like a warzone!
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgpqQiKiTM
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqowlbu29e
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2NK2ahSdU
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBF5nOvrLu
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUrFKtB64F
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnx6TPXsUm
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ7J170LtB
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4AFBLD4Kb
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkn5UnLhBW
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSCWMaOSgV
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUIRieisPy
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSIcO2soGk
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DfMf8jblu
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHVlLkL2Wf
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW9SS8FgsU
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SeRMToIm2
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYsjW5wSVH
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrocJo5Ws67
No.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfR4tu3xn
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ZVLxF8HM
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk9uReGdKW
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK632RQNCeM
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjZeVJaG2l
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEOJh3857d
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Luny5hG8m
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-
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT0iLFWSb7
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeTZXYAHkF
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l34gYLkD5
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJqKWRj1fC
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGDqdBIoof
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXxMIN0uz6
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgWAjWNBEK
Valkyrie: “I-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66J6F1TTmX
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3epoP6Xlrk
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGAWA47nAZ
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2XSCaeofM
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY4MknGGht
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9KEVkPJGZ
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBz2zwzsn7
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpdEI1sNCa
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZvnW9Bgv6
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp58ysJmLH
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3GhoJZsEp
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwolUFGMhz4
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyd03k59Hm
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7AkE8PJdj
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzwlr5gSiV
Yes, she was getting hurt.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvg0i28JCB
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyPNUZ2M5Z
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48fuZpg8NA
This couldn’t go on.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf64CSVtmp
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEIeYeW0Fa
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhBRZ21NrH
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHXWCtvK1W
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgHAaTfRCZ
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LquDYFk9I
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3DlS5RJDW
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGFwFg6pE3
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmexl3ruwZ
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvqBT8krNG
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzhi3nB1CV
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0CLIxKfi8
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2H6S5m6DW
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmxxbFOgVj
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuAEJgizw5
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g1rB9L1OV
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xc3fUSeue
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAPYYajyGZ
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbc61qdOLS
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbijk2kzOH
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ZZ14lGLV
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSmvURUhh4
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtae7SlgYM4
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPZaJE8h7W
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhLIvOr3Vz
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOtzCd65jA
Valkyrie: “Family.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP7rmooUpL
Wrong answer.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6J6d7zbmM
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6PqOJUHi7
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8VmrshX4v
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVjk4phG0W
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDENBMBAnQi
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzpAFv3q6f
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSNPTnD9RC
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrUFeEDQGo
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBj8cGRMld
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCp96dWS1o
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TNcjIMGLW
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTAPUnAd3E
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJFijqfmAm
All eyes return to the fading boy.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw2yla9D4m
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2axXmtTAd
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv6lahTH1l
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP1Jj3epw7
Tatsumaki: “How?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj09vxU7LXQ
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG0z7Ut2BM
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo7G0C0VZP
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU0Y1ypKu7
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIZuCdFPIP
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkOT9rpnSs
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGjw7CJITk
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZmF7vb9fI
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWV01RBSdA
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlfKahz0RI
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqe4HnAAri
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIXWa0HebO
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbbBb3bMPF
She took a moment before nodding.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Bcwa9CQl
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmFCMxp8JP
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwHRj8bbHK
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvtnYgvkWP
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE1ljZVcOU
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMsvgFZah1
Fubuki: “Of course.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj0tBX1rNy
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmiTlSAq0m
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%”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYl7ZfHLx4
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOLnmziSmk
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjNNcCNPF8
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI7OxVLg3D
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlo7Cbx0na
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRzUVfX5Xb
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jxcPxYFsQ
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wbQgaYnbB
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniJKgRbirc
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi50AA6KNPh
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAkmpfHrXu
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljS56cYaHx
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm19BbhS4R
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqP8GdZhYk
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirZTvVnCog
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUFTEaLs4n
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9PBWuwmPL
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bxqZ4wMPI

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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY16Argj5AD
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TkR6zdGIz
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2666D5mVKV
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUQQsuqSQo
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcEJSExvRj
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGRBvmGcea
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss6DkBzqcm
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0vy8jNSDf
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExN3J3Jl0A
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVy6qCW9SJ
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvljELojRO
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8u5suyCvD
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD13NzfRji
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63TEK6FIf2
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.

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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzH1UKKiFD
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O9wkwHxoZ
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlikWTSH5Cu
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxUgIYBHyM
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQuI1vPUm
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ4FnDc11q
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8m8uj76as
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl9DK23Q6J
Something answered.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7xHXDRuhn
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEe3SUz1KC
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.

205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJliI7Y0rF
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8m5IuI00g
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOAG8Wl2s
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChlnb5NGUh
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfm6IPCQ0U
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDXMrXvtDp
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rcecGOGs4
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJZD52ZeV2
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybcElNGZi3
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDShbpZFMO
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNmmt4D3qy
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lSJ0TKkeY
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?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrynoQTaZoS
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsbrMG5v6m
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..."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM9eLuwgK4

He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr071sQhHT
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhl5aFiCsJ
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq7LyY601S
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfXKKQ4dJR
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvTpyeeWdK
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1capCRr9hL
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8wqHoV5z7

Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E0GWwIeSH

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

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”

205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQeK8G309O
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.

205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiVu6pkUAY
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFXTJgbJep
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…
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSQ1Qln5I
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQC6nqS6Je
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”

205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWyi7d9S5A
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy249WztBXM
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1aLOPJ2jM

205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5FcbUGVf1
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWAxbNXY6p

205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmfj21cAxX
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmjiE8Fnx6
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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy1f1B7ik0
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhctj1oy0YW
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vQ6BtY4lC
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLizZ4S51gT
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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI6VJ6x1Ne
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L7s2M0JsC
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVDAHRzBoT

205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqua0sjHBI
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7JYrOi5oH
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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgO5ldwh8Q
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOruzlCt3G
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.

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPb6dZuviQ
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu61VOLXnY
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?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgC8IUKjq2
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA20LWzONz
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.

Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg9eVp0Jm4
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3qxqabbMF
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."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobCvsqbxTo
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1V5mmptUu

205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmwbsZX6M9
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P0kZtxLPR

205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsZYUJOkyl
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWBWcvMpU3
Nezu: “And that is the better scenario. The worst-case scenario is that One For All merges with his original Quirk. All of the stockpiled power stored in your Quirk, now powering his."

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

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

All Might: “You're all right. It was foolish of me to consider this course of action.”

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.

Izuku: "I'm sorry All Might. Looks like I messed things up already."

Toshinori smiled before bulking up.

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.

All Might: "I guess this does mean we can cut the physical training out of our schedule though."

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!"

He then surprised All Might with his next statement.

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.

Everyone smiled at the scene. But there were two that were overly relieved by this news.

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.

Fubuki, because Izuku wouldn’t fly so far ahead that…

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

Recovery Girl: "On a much happier note, I think I may have thought up a name for your Quirk, Midoriya-chan."
