Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYjxIiP8cP
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZL3uE9C8Q
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU05M11zMJu
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05FRAs7SNb
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvWl7phQ87
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sb52mqAy2
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaWuKTUkHw
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFscizXCvpk
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpkDqt4NfI
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…
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbPAgwrstW
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM86TT3DW8
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qu2o6rAlZ
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnwRWCn6L8
It’s everywhere.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxWaAbs9MT
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtApoSAxxFa
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kLIg0AkNN
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP2R2WDuYx
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvVqcoL2PZ
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrfCb5CPkx
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Ek9J1AF5
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmatUeRaO6
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi1uIR2lcp
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagWyvr4GjX
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmEQqsvEBd
“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.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrljDdWkyaE
Izuku: “To do what?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrOClLud34
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oeGBkw1S7
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu2NtBAeev
But one thing keeps him grounded.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx459wZtdTp
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.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGRHkzh2H6
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTMMOePmIz
“I knew I chose well.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBUslezNBl
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgGCikr9RI
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdmC0HCoZq
“You’re waking up.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q1kUM19OF
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ZMheM6Eq
“That, I have no doubt.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxUSnTTAdM
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdgsMn5CwD
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhnKbh1HEu
“…My name is-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wtLr7wbt8
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURNc8sgfFe
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguXihbuaRQ
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq9uSsYZx9
A lap pillow.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnyiC9kckF
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPov0ZMwd4
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14hrF62IaF
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHNUGmrSgD
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QbsToz9y1
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ykUZLauro
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoRNqG9F67
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVqQlGuLzR
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMbQCd9ts4
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMtuyBCoMg
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOuqrucZRR
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYuieULcRz
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3v61NkfMk
Izuku: “Ow.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r0CneQCNk
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQQGKD1l23
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccOts8rC41
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xAzA8u773
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWBDSZPcjA
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd6lyZS9lK
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLrIIWDTKt
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMwU53gkYb
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf4tbRYWqL
Izuku: “Yes!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupicjP9fvu
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4PbBonrbV
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEel6RASOno
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiKZtiicxl
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhgnMH6i6D
The place looked like a warzone!
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHR6RCS3v4
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyrblAlgGI
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI6lZrh03Y
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMA4Q3TmxH
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb1tFC7veb
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzzGjmrhem
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zUnW4ilrb
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1SflbPgxG
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUSF66rVPB
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa08EyhV21s
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGyfgOp9AK
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv0iGacJqE
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2QjI8C8B2
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3OEuCppcT
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LMe2dz44b
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSKnbwhIHK
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9qgNJ4TMl
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPAFel0MB3
No.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PLZjtgu9V
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPyoHniyPj
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8BOTJJalx
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCckNvppo3S
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocOQHpIYcT
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCyOe1HV4c
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK2iAq6YaR
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-
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxbYByjyUE
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fCsjg3t6L
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1IsXA5AvL
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU2gHxHC0l
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG5VVS0dlE
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoCiRtVqpI
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxJYD05FiX
Valkyrie: “I-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1c32tFwrk
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe13Be7jJc0
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxf67b3bcH
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoCZzAhWAj
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9wm9wuYjM
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWAb4dJwWk
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcFRxvRij3
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyGZmPN9Oe
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm72Th3Q2rJ
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrvx0wwarY
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV3E0bsSn7
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldvDWrhDTm
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6fcnR7CE3
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqgqNDvY2a
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qTpr6lNeW
Yes, she was getting hurt.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tZeuSkZOs
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiAmAMdNOm
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jK7dD695c
This couldn’t go on.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7HnsTm08e
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZsJT6FWaD
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuzwBGdVcv
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGHuQSp8g9
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zuNtIzkTE
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4DfO58BiF
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBZkw3keGG
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7dlI2wPed
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAjEvJe9pT
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5BZmmFS8M
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyGGHJBnGO
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO63B7uaRlG
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4pAiLDvIM
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTnPvg6VtP
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIZfAaP55N
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUmkZmYODy
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6qP2eRTLN
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CCUAIw1hF
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ntZ4j0KON
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbJtk3C1R0
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jd15jP0dB
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJiQTwKpGk
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5XgCHxoqK
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdrCh4SvCK
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGawlbbbCW
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcQ8Og8Y6I
Valkyrie: “Family.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLNhTFqu2a
Wrong answer.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYqkHj2ADI
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWBO2yMTx5
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Itbyww5C8
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlikwNEtKRi
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWfM50h742
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqOYs0F7QB
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb5xDEcJzK
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDNRv59dr9
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKhJKV7jx3
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mv2D7ccxP
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxHWD8Jp9A
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVviRq4m4O
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ556eL5MsDT
All eyes return to the fading boy.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcpVZOtjcJ
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsSQCoUScl
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Ox2vNurU
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoruIzvUsGz
Tatsumaki: “How?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqo9mliNy7
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawuo1JM49g
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvwoe0VLFK
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5syxkHraP
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QgnhU3wKk
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIBqCyp97k
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4QIbTaZwD
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpUGtjGTGS
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeoTqVxSpR
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKiy5Mjc3d
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7X9I9pMqw
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpEtfcOChh
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFlf3kz1zU
She took a moment before nodding.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNdTzfo1zf
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90CbkeQ7EK
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8vjv90zU9
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaBnxv4rdy
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4UXxsRuHK
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufbg96JJYT
Fubuki: “Of course.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHLPEyuutB
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡernhk4vA32
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%”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57AXMgBCkA
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOrU2MqNxL
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsxPYUwAU4
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6tHM9wDmU
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUBYw9E92A
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6KyDR8j4i
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXqjtyGGVZ
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7ukLrZJDC
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBX8PlZn07
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6Za1JcfHy
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuYXxtlmo7
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2XGV2TWdh
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdstsOSgTe
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvv1amKTOI
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUj1YdO9CN
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FQSLmxdMf
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ1excHEjO
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiNWbD5fhp
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W5V6IaoSE
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAQPiTm4PQ
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJEBJmBzNy
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wzyzh6nlE
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlFWvNNxjp
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQTeFl7csm
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qh4wsosHo
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWloida06e
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFZEdGJ2a5
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx6VU5Wxof
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh5MUEw9Qv
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXuHA0Oaz9
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHP7yrzokD
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ6vBwBAQy
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TibsSQTDB
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt1EfrWEh8
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXDMDI3wTg
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCKxRt6IWa
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP1wZWvUOy
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaWE0aqrV1
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDFjvYFiTC
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMDLDQcCy4
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2bSplt8QO
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1i7o0qKmS
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHpFavQTso
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVItsSwg5sc
Something answered.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqiRU0Sf4u
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDHVFXpaEQ
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xSjxydXQr
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYVyaThrxr
Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqZMhffp58
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G3OF2DW4B
Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCL3wKEdXW
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbHtyCOCbd
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaHi5rSK21
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0uRb7jezU
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGC85vMMwZ
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurlSmHuOoK
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbgiOaZfUE
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIDaMdL5Hx
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct0JZt9YMe
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY93aYLWxcN
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBkDonGosA
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsmnANJyHV
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?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj38lCcujD
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhj4msOmSc
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu8B8MFpW2
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRBp27OmHx
Izuku: "Ten years..."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4tofdcjL7
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGxGkPRfc2
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoW2yql1fF
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevAfrtRtKm
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTII7hnurx
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBACB6eddd
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsKaEer4EE
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH7oRHClN8
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9tzG4m9Lu
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7egCKFXjLd
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6cwKYC61u
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvXwE68FPk
The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZyXHDX1R6
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV9tjyiqNT
Izuku: "You must have been so lonely."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExnZVfvjdM
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzoxkSWwmH
Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3z55p2TCx
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFInbZrEAW
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsPWtkZHL0
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09YDeKGdKU
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIAWNK5Tpj
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6qosl1pH7

Tatsumaki: “Okay, that’s it.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23OaoJaTvN
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwxLuI839z
Tatsumaki gently moved the two from each other with her powers.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B37YdH0Vo
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh7wapK1kC
Valkyrie: “Oneeeeee!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EI73n7lb2
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6rddMN30k
Valkyrie pouted at being separated from her big brother.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kxs9MWpmh

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3r3OCj423

Fubuki: “What will mom think?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYzzUSFGw9

Izuku: “Is it that bad?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaY11G0aLI
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlzGO1MuJt
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF48IZCD9U
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Ud8XFXdr
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…
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VBIEzliNe
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgItUlbqb1
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqDXrcI60R
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBlORUJ0J4
Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWN24fURkA
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhMrtYtF5c
Izuku: “But we can’t abandon her!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAWl6Q3KIY

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCiKeYQFTz

She lets the two down but her glare makes sure they don’t go holding onto each other.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeRKOFqqfk

Tatsumaki: “Where do you live Valkyrie?”

Valkyrie: “…Around. Different places.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrheQ2u1BZ

The oldest sister has spoken.

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YSuUN6IVf

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsDmH1EUbT

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMczR33qDw
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f5TK5xFbB
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvaiv28EB7
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mf3lXDs2L
‘This is just the first step. You’ll be replaced. You’ll be left behind.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GuIfFk1Yg
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuKsO8AA7c
Tatsumaki: “Still, you have to convince mom Izuku. Understand?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRSkB5usWD

Nezu: “Well, I’m glad to hear you’re up and alright Midoriya.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqDdqWKV7c
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBF96ESGdi
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.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIdwRMxpbY
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBe8VYqqsV
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARQ3AkMtMn
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr0EMEvuW1
Tatsumaki’s cold stare shut down any more ideas for experimentation.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhN5iHUfco

Nezu: “Nevermind.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgcqE46HPo

Izuku got up and bowed to the principal.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7w3ZpMvzJ
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYZlvbqg3u

Nezu: "It's quite alright young man."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbmMHAPuZS

Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPaFjpVY1R
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2prpIwsjZz
Nezu: “Sadly, we're out of time today. But you'll still have Toshinori to train you today.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ztdanc4u

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIsrb9nXBW
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZSSdtblqA
Nezu: “Hmmmm, in that form you don’t look like the famous vigilante. Perhaps…you can apply to U.A alongside Midoriya.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAyW1BclCA
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8vzPwWGYg
All Might: “That’s an excellent idea. Her experience in the field could even rub off on her fellow students.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8f8QoX01d
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIdilrUD7V
All Might: ‘And she’ll become a licensed hero, instead of staying a Vigilante.’
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMWDwG42kF

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl2O1DnKJN
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9ZafJ9Wrm
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.”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMKJuTdtRU
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa25RxD9jCl
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ7obchkyp
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5sOez2GDl
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwluo83O6Dy
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhrlgmIrxI
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwP3PAaQEq
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8oYo13Sww
Izuku: "I will! Thank you for the advice, principal!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Zahiaji5
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8OcHpQ4FP
Nezu: "You're a good kid Midoriya-san. I can see what Toshinori saw in you. You have great potential!"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5fLy99xIM
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLuLnPZThd
He turned to the man in question as Izuku went scarlet.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw97q0Rs6he
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sYArPZb1K
Nezu: "Speaking of, you intend to pass One For All to him, don't you?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJMeNLPwel
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUJUs86yMk
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj72soYaUa
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YY3lMtqwe
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKerPpIcvce

Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5su0CRV7P

Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2nDyppL60
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC474YPnTJ
Nezu: "Remind me again of the story your master told you? Of what happened to her when she first gained One For All."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R0uIyC8Zd
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfsSr4YLLm

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaKGEr0a1x
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnsDlmLoYW
He blanched, finally remembering.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzyOBMbVK0

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gCwLoL093
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpdxTeyuHC
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?"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvdtJMWe9b
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRuQPXztR3
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDnnB0ZhCr
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOk6yvdCWz
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzboXDTfuA

All Might: “It was a long time ago!”
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmYTGGTEvh
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4GEGuzsB6
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk1HxZTA2r
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAg5yAbMAH
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cyYVmXQqg
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh6eHQfcgb
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"
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSfogM7mIQ
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eR2fj14LR
The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQOnRqsanZ
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiBsKOWDcw
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTx9sQpB2T
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjulfJPisWj
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG2Kj3ryFu
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQTMKP0ZTb

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7exFXFUOb

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhxX0uNRUq
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Ov7MZJRs
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."
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGgEA7k0PA
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEYlwUQTry
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZfFiCafZX

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

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

All Might: "This changes nothing, shonen. I promised to train you as my successor until the entrance exam and train you I shall. You're still my student and my successor, even if I can't give you One For All! We'll make you the greatest hero in the world yet, Midoriya-shonen!"

All Might smiled, once more seeing the potential of his successor. Even if things weren't going to go the way he wished, he could rest easy knowing someone like Izuku Midoriya was part of the next generation. He bumped his fist against his student's, sealing the promise.

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.
