Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KPXabkIuK
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yJINzW7MK
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLMO2BL6g9
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25zqmTyQBF
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqF599knB8
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sWq9TPPJC
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvOv8hTTxV
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dIrQ2Y2hX
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZjvgnB9lc
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…
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv7lwRBm2B
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6luJKCG6Sz
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlemYGr72I2
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKj28jHojK
It’s everywhere.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAYTQ0DFmE
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxYLHdsfug
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQCICZmD7P
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrrf4R7QBj
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f6vHpeDnD
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgaO1I0udn
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgsIQnGvNc
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRCGCxnmD1
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZDi2O6yMq
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0cCKz3yUV
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU0y7yT3hC
“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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vBgz5IZmo
Izuku: “To do what?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrInZqZipB
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9061ATX1w
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUwZ0tg2Hc
But one thing keeps him grounded.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV8FT2WOyF
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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jENgw4Obh
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbpn0twlx2
“I knew I chose well.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOd3p37BZg
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjCNBGNOCp
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ZTfAkMux
“You’re waking up.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VfNc7VKvN
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLWZTmE6Ek
“That, I have no doubt.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxSQcif6u4
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5R0YFwAsf
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHxFV8e5og
“…My name is-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1I6hPqK4D
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAw4CBM0oh
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5s8rstPQd
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPBG4TZgE8
A lap pillow.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK4jDddSOJ
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdpc9VlwhH
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVa2vyfcvj
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPArr9V37D
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZgePKhihi
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq0CamKIDr
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e5RTnN1wn
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncsXw2vV6F
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfseGzSjykD
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8TmlUYnb8
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGzVWk83UY
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwaHqvWOiE
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqZygYhz7Q
Izuku: “Ow.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aSOD4D9vm
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMywKcsqcs
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMRqc3i1HG
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOhBCwjPnX
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nYG71eVT2
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK7L8TVj1z
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSNAmBtniQ
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxwFsrfRCm
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp899IfO5Uz
Izuku: “Yes!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEljmRT3jZG
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCsrPm99Oy
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdfTk2yTP0
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgThiKrzpaK
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmzA4OG1gI
The place looked like a warzone!
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9nkTrAQqe
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BOvjwwZSX
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAejGnzX9B
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmIrAcp0So
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWheB3tyq6U
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2r19xmGFm
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpR3m3r9sD
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiEwYGmYuv
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGl8JO2Bfi
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnMcigHKkR
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmrqCW0qBg
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Kvuj2fX6
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj4FGVtLL5
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojmt3Ab9cF
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO56nySVyVg
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYhOqFHsj7
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mGWDtnKnO
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7t1Z5pnXZ
No.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36E5N5Kxda
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy29kdwHVC
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwU78620zH
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDbwwV0tuZ
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpabe916MHR
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsUM6m4LO4
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oRFvjl9cw
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-
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8nwBaA4Hw
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmJcU6luT5
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ35B06iHtA
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNBCeWLRCI
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIQyhcG4fh
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2qvPCZ1wQ
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpuG38ziAu
Valkyrie: “I-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwTpThk26s
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbGObRpnXG
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiezVGaAKOD
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN7QeInbfd
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs16dLcGqV9
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGMdZbrkqu
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPg7sk5V8L
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXld5Bv06pU
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWQFSgVKIv
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkm0NM9Feg
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9QZjTc4qK
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9x9dlIjQW
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5YAHI1v3U
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS9yPwAXBb
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0XqYyTwmz
Yes, she was getting hurt.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFwPWo3jm1
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr0YXtM5f3
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpIvwETPsq
This couldn’t go on.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwfVrx88vR
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSxWRHV3VZ
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRE2dpLixs
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrYvOwHhDz
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bgQhKKqCa
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopJwhm7Jiv
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dRPgmCcYG
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyl7LfBGwX
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n4Y1BDCF9
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnqSt2bOZb
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywZHWPM6jz
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWDomFrseb
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiucK4Gy2AU
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChxwriUsZl
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynyvZQXlLa
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ccf9S6D0v
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUzi19WIwu
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2AIXDabJZ
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcS97OI2Es
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPUHMzz0Pc
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nTHybiNUW
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuDk7LTwgo
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGkBMWhOwt
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ntMVyPyS
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy12ls1rv7X
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVgKt1J1Dm
Valkyrie: “Family.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydCvms3cEL
Wrong answer.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPCM5ZARCF
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD37C2KyGtv
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJJqpETYFi
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DnUOWa2gv
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRtLBU2FDb
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Zta3ifEH
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHGGKRXwVz
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfiVfkoT0L
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGIGS745ou
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKT5a2nlTy
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWPdr1JmLb
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJtWL2Mgjh
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA5H4gb2wZ
All eyes return to the fading boy.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ36Pmr0r8j
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i4GR0j0lP
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYrtInqfhi
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzMmVVmsWx
Tatsumaki: “How?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Dm1NwrVR
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4YiyryJED
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYz25qoWCe
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQjnmCXUYa
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS0x7VmC0Q
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8nxVlilAV
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuvnsHA82h
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKVhz6BVu1
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx8aHXLc11
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr13pGNyoX
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAoxsJiHNn
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabK2FYBjVL
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE9kgWUtMz
She took a moment before nodding.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmAPgr06N8
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6rdovR5Ad
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq66HTB95m
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4kehA1oIH
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0jkpgko8w
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNflfprYJk
Fubuki: “Of course.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAw9KEkNfw
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZaLBetTUd
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%”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiXfP8JxLI
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8x5jsjGQQ
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0UzGSOumT
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaodlWWQHg0
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNGtWvnDjz
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClbTbr6wlP
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIAwz8uUo9
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2czL5Vawn
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZq0M5j9Fb
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTNJuAGRIL
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqhAaSjfjn
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm1hgpjeFT
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlAsWVVm6J
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJOh75aJFy

Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9DD2mQckH
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pU4TDHoCp
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9zVx5Xfg
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfczhmkHm9
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFTLVoh6l3
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo8SWp4elC
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPCUGyDKmW
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPPgvtJ6Vu
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQlKKrzlOU
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOLY4uCds3
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R0bYb0oPd
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLixQXzGa5L
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1bUUdJyr
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDeDNgY1Iu
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G1hRdXdei
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedy96Gwzl1
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7B0g1pk9q
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS00f0vFTsu
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FATs9sLfx
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHViehsL1p
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tLj9WpARj
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40062UISSI
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsa1nFtB6p
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiELP9oN0CD
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMi8Dxp4Mk
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6X2Y3mWIq
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplx0Jc5ent
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtENqTvS5yx
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFsZIXoyyF
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRMqnF3SaG
Something answered.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD0MWpT1q3
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN3X1AKAq9
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXqAM1ZrD8
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC61xdxpFj
Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMmL9knA3F
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoZI9wFPet
Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJY3Ib9VE8
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfKiUlQnv9
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopsmEZWqWB
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFA4doMEeG
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeepI7fFDs
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCbZvh3LN8
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6vKsUIAgi
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZyVYWzU12
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBpiIeDzZB
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI2FqoVvrf
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5YWaT3wJZ
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6uETX9Ymt
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?"
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1PWK3Gxgi
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS9HtwQbl3
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXWxBfImRd
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPlTdJuoNn
Izuku: "Ten years..."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36IVemwHk5
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpLJnJ6IVl
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1B6FIMdiJ
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wk6xkNAeN
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYhxs85l9v
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvESpzO96C
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPHgLXRSER
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoixS55E7dl
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCdJ35oAIa
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jDnu1Ygfj
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsXAnJKQab
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR6I2QfQJV
The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDcbE9TIER
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb39Mzv4fG
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4J2w3Ppjh

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnoLWOSGOs
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfy7YMDgEP
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uhaWRdfzH

Valkyrie: “Oneeeeee!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGyo6PUmdf

Valkyrie pouted at being separated from her big brother.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyxxdRxG98
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ53j7d6WI7
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiDumHWq3w
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEqcJyHGhK
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…
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvce7vUsOSi
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDQSIrDvqW
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNMy6UWC81
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10TyLmMatn
Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmMUv7EyGx

She lets the two down but her glare makes sure they don’t go holding onto each other.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2CvtaPekJ

Tatsumaki: “Where do you live Valkyrie?”

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ZoED0zmT
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA88als1OMQ
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOM4YVTB6D
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEi2YFXGiN
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNedWHl8PGk
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv08MY6H2t2
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaWET2LEJK

Nezu: “Nevermind.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw4Vi5Np6D

Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2XGYSo6z3
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzVtUttJS0

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinHdLNREKY
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EtehZxj5e

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodJtNocDfh

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Nk4lZJCp
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsPWJr1flI
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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM98lfdV2v
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpbZGXmUTa
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzscRDGh9C
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuALPlhF7S
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."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpnmRrDc5n
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNiIqVRnZL
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsAzNFxH5J

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGOXGmy85V
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttbcsUHzRF
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."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUyLJKWT3F
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBIZjd6Pwr
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."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESC9XYdclx

Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls4TDiSBow

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcknWNkSq91
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMHuThBi0Q

He blanched, finally remembering.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEzIYvhsJ9

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5hhq6WvqV
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgMKmi7ZdW
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?"
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz2J5H2bSm
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBrbg5YbAz
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2IjjYl8yo

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A1BwQ63xB

Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31swFQeQuc
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPVDyQ7C3R
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."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UZV3QTM6z
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2N5k2uHNC
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"
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvsbEfd7yo

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7Mxt44wvX
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ebVu7A18E
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."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgws31LdmWo
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfSt44rblf
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."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXuLjAWdxG
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf5ypCu4Li

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpSFKKohft
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."
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBPMqfNla5

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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."
