Before the U.A Attack[Tatsumaki Omake]
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoPXBU7aRw
Tatsumaki: “Annoying.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqavG9qsyN3
With a simple finger, the quirk beast that was wreaking havoc in the street was torn apart by a small tornado.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z4mQukXBh
“Wow, that must be a new record. Not even property damage this time. Good job.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCgUvalWEK
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuH1wzdYVs
She turns to her… acquaintance and the one who runs her agency. His marketing efforts and efficient management are what allow the whole thing to work without her. And to think he used to be just a simple office worker.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5LvnFL71k
He was a pretty simple, if not a bit handsome, looking young man with black hair and a loose business suit.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10JmxckbGu
Tatsumaki: “Anyway, this was much easier than I expected. You said this was some dangerous beast. Couldn’t some other hero handle it?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyQpzm9JAP
Arashi: “There were none nearby. I saw the beast. I gave you a call. You know how it is.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv7egzKRcB
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, these heroes rely too much on us top 3. Especially me; just because I can fly doesn’t mean I have the time to solve every problem.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjducwvAU91
Arashi: “Hey, I’m just the messenger. But if you want a day off, then I can arrange something. I’m sure several sidekicks would be willing to pick up the slack.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJbHrBFnFU
Tatsumaki: “You do that.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaaczHf6Qb
And so it was done; thanks to Arashi, the next day was free. But there w a problem. She was getting bored. Yeah, it was fun to relax at home in her colorful pajamas at first. But it quickly lost its appeal.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32uw935PL6
Even if most things can’t challenge her, the few seconds of combat were still highlights of her typical workday. So to solve the problem, she called Arashi.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2HsNv9O0S
Arashi: “Tatsumaki? Oh, you miss me already?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRhh70mADY
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi. Anyway, how’s the situation? Do you need me for something?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg35PpaJ9n
Arashi: “No, the city is pretty quiet right now. The pro heroes and sidekicks have dealt with any problems that did pop up. So don’t worry; nothing will ruin your free day.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY33l7yG1HT
Tatsumaki: “Hm… is that so?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5ZkKF97mM
Arashi: “Sooooo, what are you wearing?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCvQ2ihUlC
She hung up and fought down the slight blush.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5L0I0CeKt
Tatsumaki: “He is so lucky he’s cu- I mean useful.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhKQj93oty
She sighs and lies back on the floor. Her fight against boredom continues, and for once, she doesn’t think she’ll win.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWTbwowpkf
Tatsumaki: “I could visit Arashi, but… that will get complicated fast. I’m not in the mood for that.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1sRg4Q0LO
Tatsumaki: “Fubuki is busy with her agency, tch, like always. Izuku and Kiri are at school. I guess I can visit Mom.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GrUhQRueI
She prepares to get dressed and meet her but instead stops. A smile grows on her face.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETEHsYm0dA
Tatsumaki: “This might be a good excuse to test that out.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kR57xbiXP
Out of all the abilities her brother has learned, teleportation is the coolest. She doesn’t really need to learn anything more than what she has already. Battles are easy enough as it is. But teleportation could save time and just be plain fun.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV7d53F3dk
Besides, one of her favorite characters from an old manga she used to read as a kid could do it. Might as well try it; what’s the harm?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0VJS5m6xH
So she got up and placed two fingers on her forehead. First, she visualized the kitchen of her previous home. Then she willed her psychic power to turn her desire into reality.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mVCUTPLqA
Either by bending space, breaking her down, and moving her elsewhere, or something else, whatever was easier.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkXofWHITr
After a moment of actual effort, she felt something happen and smiled. In the next instant, she was in the kitchen.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxbnHv5W3v
But something was wrong, as proven by her mother doing a spit take with her tea. Tatsumaki felt weirdly… exposed. Didn’t take her long to understand why, then panic and teleport back home.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTc9xxvK2d
She grabbed her pajamas that were left behind and tried to calm her tomato face. A face that got more red when her phone went off. Not running from it, she answered.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWPnUieR6v
Tatsumaki: “…Yes.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8zQqW3O9j
Inko: “Sweetie, did I see what I think I just saw?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6j7A86QIL
Tatsumaki: “… Would you believe me if I said no?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY3nr9WqfH
Inko didn’t say anything, but managed to say everything.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaXvebBJte
Tatsumaki: “Don’t tell Fubu or Izu.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooKF3w7e5J
Inko: “Sweetie, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’m glad you’re trying new ways to use your quirk. Just… make sure to bring your clothes with you next time.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiaCGFHsrV
Tatsumaki: “T-Thanks, mom, I’ll do that.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7GR1Scrax
She hung up and laid back on the ground after clothing herself. She sighed and accepted the fact she’d probably have to visit her guilty pleasure after all.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vp30uV21Y
Tatsumaki: “Teleportation is overrated anyway.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKcOyKSdym

After the U.A Attack
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p5zL7mWDP
“So far we have three villains that were leading this attack.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP0YqnaP3Q
Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi explained to the gathered heroes in this meeting room. The ones present were Snipe, Vlad King, Midnight, Nezu, All Might, and of course Tatsumaki. Unlike everyone, else though, she was leaning against the wall near the window instead of sitting.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUKEfMz7fF
She was ready to get out and find these villains as quickly as possible.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kBgDSoXZ2
Naomasa: “First, Kurogiri, the villain that looked to be made of black mist. The only solid part was a large metal device around where his neck would be. He has a warping quirk.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8skwc7SyxJ
All Might: “A group of villains with someone like that can be very dangerous.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSBm64kvtM
Naomasa: “Second, Tomura Shigaraki. His quirk seems to be the ability to disintegrate anything he touches. As proven by Aizawa’s broken arm. I would assume he’s the leader, but the last-minute appearance of Azrael throws that into question.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDvU8ZHPY5
Everyone, minus All Might and Tatsumaki, shivers at the memory of that man. That doesn’t mean All Might doesn’t feel anything when remembering him. But he doesn’t want to explain his connection to Azrael, not yet anyway. And everyone who sneaked a glance at him understood that.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyna6h0ntc
Midnight: “Can’t believe I’m saying this about a handsome man, but I hope I never meet him again.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEHKGSG4h5
Naomasa: “What’s worse is that we have no info on him. Azrael is clearly an alias.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDANVdzSJx7
Nezu: “The angel of death… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVnuAB1nqp
Snipe: “You can say that again. Looking at him was like staring down the barrel of a rifle.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26mm6LX3iA
Naomasa: “Based on that, I’d imagine the only ones that should face him are the top 3 pros.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqCcQeCF1n
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I’ll take care of them all by myself. I just need a location.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq61HAM7LR
Naomasa: “Sad to say, with a warping quirk user on their side, they could be anywhere.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2rSdlNKmX
Snipe: “So, long story short, we got nothin to go on. We didn’t even do much damage to any of them. Well, aside from that strategist.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZXFrKQ22b
Midnight: “Oh yeah, what about him? What do we know?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXwsxFZ6D6
Naomasa: “Apotheosis. Based on Ms. Fubuki’s statements and previous cases involving him, he definitely qualifies as a strategist. Apparently, he was even the cause of that train bomb incident a few days ago.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRrWNGqQCA
Vlad: “That is a sick man; there were kids on that train! If it wasn’t for Blizzard and Tornado… the amount of damage he could have caused… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0TdWApU76
Midnight: “What’s his quirk?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ImmpjFWy
Naomasa: “Unknown, Ms. Fubuki insists he used only technology in their fight.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcnFOEc0qW
Tatsumaki: “Then he shouldn’t be a problem when I find him. I can easily rip the gear off of him.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWik1nJ5X6F
Naomasa: “If you find him. And who knows how you’ll fare against his Psychic Disruptor.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNeTGqjav1
Snipe: “Something he made with you and your family in mind. I wonder why he seems so focused on you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY66mSS52X
Tatsumaki: “Simple, he’s scared of me. Hmph, I don’t blame him. His little plan wouldn’t have worked if I was there.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZRSE6NIpE
Naomasa: “Which makes his plans all the more dangerous. He can work around powerful obstacles and come up with countermeasures.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge7SeDWdSX
Vlad: “The longer he’s out there, the harder it will be to deal with him and this league of villains.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIGjXcy4Rc
Nezu: “That’s not the most disturbing thing about him, is it, Tsukauchi?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHanZNGrYDC
Naomasa: “No… it’s his possible age. Based on everything we’ve gathered, he seems even younger than the students. By a year or two.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUwq037wqv
The room grew quiet at that revelation. A villain that smart yet barely a teenager.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90EoqLLvzK
Nezu: “How sad, that someone so young turned to a life of villainy. Despite how terrifying Azrael may be, I am more concerned with this villain. Especially when you consider what name he chose.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5tuNJyIUm
Midnight: “Why?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbv9CkcDeq
Nezu: “Because it means the elevation of a person to divine status, essentially becoming a god.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkzblUcGkN
Naomasa: “So this kid is incredibly arrogant and egotistical to give himself such a title.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01oS06llw0
All Might: “Most villains are. I once fought a guy who referred to himself as a destroyer of worlds. He wasn’t much of one when all it took was two good punches to knock him out.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8MlNfumB9
Nezu: “Perhaps, but I have a feeling that his genius can get him close enough to his goals to be a serious threat. I, more than anyone, know just how dangerous a sharp mind can be.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDNabgo4yU
Tatsumaki: “You worry too much.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmC16pFxhN
Nezu: “Perhaps.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QJrCiFCEM
All Might: “What about the last one, the one young Midoriya fought?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFakD99j96P
Naomasa: “Well… as you all know… there wasn’t anything left of him. Ms. Fubuki and Midoriya made sure of it.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPmlx9a1v1
Vlad: “But what I want to know is how? Based on what Aizawa said, this creature had strength comparable to All Might’s.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6h5R2kpZh
All Might: “Yeah, and taking a punch from young Tae is no easy feat.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoi6aREFrN
Despite the dire situation, Tatsumaki let a smile slip. Pride filled her heart to know that her brother, and especially her sister, was able to beat such a monster. She knew Fubuki had more power within her.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYveGEXfBf1
But then the smile faded when she remembered what that victory almost cost them. Izuku had to use his fire again, and despite not showing it, she could sense Fubuki was past her limit. It’s a miracle she could still walk home.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFKZ6Qcdo7
If even one variable was different… she would have lost them. So instead of lingering on that feeling of pride, she focused on her protective instinct. The one that will help find these villains and put this matter to rest.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GiiLBbUdS
Naomasa: “We don’t know how they did it. Midoriya is vague about it, and Ms. Fubuki came near the end, so she can’t tell us much. Todoroki is also a bit vague. Whatever happened is mostly a mystery.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdULwZBxqGu
Vlad: “Hmmm, I don’t like it. What are they hiding?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9pftsF2Uu
Tatsumaki: “If they want to keep it vague, let them. You know the name, Nomu, and you know that it’s an artificial human and has multiple quirks. That’s enough.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARxKprAaQr
Naomasa: “I agree, it’s worrying, but nothing we should concern ourselves over.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuOh8z90zk
Midnight: “But wasn’t one of the quirks observed regeneration? Based on Todoroki’s report, the Nomu had lost an arm and couldn’t regenerate it like everything else. Tornado, can your brother stop regeneration quirks?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzT7SdaKa8
Tatsumaki: “Not that I know of, but why does it matter? It would only be a good thing if he can do something like that if another Nomu shows up.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79uH7FSSQp
Midnight: “But aren’t you curious about what your brother is hiding and why?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cTvnTQB1F
Tatsumaki: “No, I trust my brother. Now, I would suggest you stop asking these questions, Midnight.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPZ5vKwqlk
The two ladies glared at each other for a moment before All Might coughs to snap them out of it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVU4qrATen
All Might: “We should get back on track.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFmeElH5p0
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, you do that. I got what I needed.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UYBN9hhTK
Tatsumaki opened the window next to her and flew out in search of her prey.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBMKmA0V4C
Midnight: “Ugh, tell me why we put up with her again.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyz4jSsycO
Snipe: “Ha, you’re just jealous Tatsumaki and her sister beat you in the most attractive female heroes ranking.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov6tiU7JJv
Midnight: “N-No! But let it be known that she doesn’t deserve that high of a placement. Her sister I get though, her body is like a work of art, and she knows how to dress.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT4Zr34XI3
All Might smiled at the banter but also looked at the window where Tatsumaki left. He can only hope she doesn’t work herself to death. She’s not the only one concerned about what happened. She doesn’t have to carry that burden alone.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVPI8wP8UM
All Might: ‘If only I was at my prime…’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmgG8zNNGQ
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagaHMKsn2z
The school took a week off after the attack, and Inko is beyond worried. First, it was that talk with her daughter that didn’t end very well. Next, it was the strange behavior of Kiri and Izuku.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mqSYskDte
She understands that they would be shaken by the attack, but there’s something else wrong.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0vrF3oIVo
Kiri doesn’t sleep in Izuku’s room anymore. When she first did that, Inko was a bit concerned but quickly brushed it off. Kiri just wanted to stick close to her big brother. Nothing wrong with that.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10iO0t6sF7
No, what’s wrong is when she suddenly stops and looks colder than usual. But that doesn’t compare to Izuku.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2pwvmtQri
He doesn’t smile anymore and barely talks. His eyes are always far off and his mind elsewhere. Even when Kiri tries to interact with him, he doesn’t respond.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjgY5mtITO
Tatsumaki won’t pick up her calls, and Fubuki is always busy. Enough is enough.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Wt81BY5W
It’s time for a family get-together.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92IfifJe33
While eating at the table in uncomfortable silence, Inko makes her move.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhA8svKwHm
Inko: “Kiri, Izuku, I think it’s time for us to have a family get-together. It’s been too long since we all just… had fun. Well, it will be Kiri’s first time, which is even more reason to do it.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQhv5iKxsz
Izuku: “… I don’t know. I’m not in the mood.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHOEC9yOjq
Kiri: “…Nh.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6qsrbtkvS
Inko: “Come on, it might help you two get past whatever you’re going through. At least it could take your mind off of it.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86t4KxEnsu
Izuku: “… I don’t think that’s possible.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi0HXQP5NO
Inko: “Sweetie, please. I’m worried, and I… want to help. Just a few hours with your sisters.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoJw1kVXo6
Izuku looks at Kiri, who looks back. She smiles, trying to bring some warmth back into his life.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjlcmVEZsM
Kiri: “I would… like it. Can we?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4tA9bfNLq
Inko: “See? Kiri is willing to try it.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRAcbN4oio
Izuku: “…Okay.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNcrgszhEf
Inko: “Great! Now I just have to get Fubuki and Tatsumaki.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQSGQJRdRt
Inko grabs her phone and dials Fubuki first. Hopefully, she has the time.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pIQN1P2o8
Fubuki: “Yes, Mom?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9sWrvrpcI
Inko: “We’re getting the family together for a nice relaxing day, just to have fun. What do you say?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLvNsbizT7
Fubuki: “I would love to, but-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzf0jKofU7
Inko: “Fubuki, please. I feel like… I’m losing you all. Izuku barely talks, and even Kiri can’t get to him.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq4uuFtDum
Fubuki: “He what? What’s wrong with Izuku?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsQHIQfUXs
Inko: “I don’t know, but it’s part of the reason why I’m doing this. I thought having some family fun could help. The other reason is… I miss you all.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNsKkqzRfo
Fubuki: “I… miss you too, Mom. Things have been hectic after the attack, and I have been meaning to take a break from training. Alright, I’ll come.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5vNmxq47Z
Inko: “Yes!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9VjloN4BJ
Fubuki: “But how will you get Tatsu to come? She’s been… distant recently.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAs4YGarlj
Inko: “It might be underhanded, but it’s for her own good.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEWbawFTDy
30 minutes later
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IyYmUWv77
Tatsumaki bursts through the front door, ready to tear apart whoever dared to attack her home.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjtdUjxEGe
Tatsumaki: “Izuku! Mom! Where-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCk9bSZkDj
Instead of a crisis, she sees a normal living room with her whole family present.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOHBdl5vdD
Tatsumaki: “… What the fu-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uHv0ZIRE4
Inko: “I’m sorry, sweetie, you wouldn’t pick up the phone when either I or Fubuki called you. So I had Izuku call you and simply say he needed help desperately.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzSNbbtqTu
Tatsumaki closed her eyes and pinched her nose. Her heart was about to break out of her chest, and it was for nothing!?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIicbTZvVNG
Tatsumaki: “…Why… why would you do that to me?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMlUxfoB8V
Inko walked to Tatsumaki and hugged her softly.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjt3vbG3CV
Inko: “Because I’m worried, and we left off on a terrible note. I don’t want to lose you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1DFjLX0g9
Tatsumaki: “Mom, you won’t lose me. But nearly giving me a heart attack just to say that, really?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1VG7wprw6
Inko: “Not just because of that, I wanted us to go out together. The whole family, to take a break from the troubles of the world.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDrzdIFSjS
Tatsumaki: “… Villains don’t take breaks.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC966YbIaJ
Inko: “But heroes should. If they don’t, they might lose to those villains.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALcJIniuGn
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I could be on my deathbed and still beat them.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP31NbADxlk
Inko: “Maybe, but I want my baby at 100%. That way she can better defend those precious to her, right?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnER149o7n8
The eldest daughter took a moment to think about it, glancing at her siblings before sighing in resignation.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8vSCoSDAO
Tatsumaki: “…Just a few hours and that’s it.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKomdJcg6mO
Inko: “Yes!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5rZxpeLPG
The first part is over; now she needs to find something for everyone to do.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tLq2AerBO
She leads Tatsumaki further into the home, completing the family gathering. But that’s when Fubuki noticed something off about Tatsumaki’s eyes.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPumAe6mhi
Fubuki: “Sister… are you wearing… eyeliner?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDphlALOkc
Tatsumaki: “W-What? No!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhMgZf7iIi
Inko: “Ohhh, has my baby finally decided to take her makeup seriously? Let me guess, it’s a boy, right?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJkeaZfIoO
Tatsumaki: “No! We’re not like that!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltLuM5qWvF
Silence.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B6DETxxx6
Stunned silence and widened eyes are what you would see in this household. Even Izuku was taken aback.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rL4x5aaSW
We?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1RPU85Sv3
We imply two people.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ78hD1PFMx
Two people in this context mean a couple.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0bqG71OUx
Tatsumaki being straight means it’s a guy. A he?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuX7jendsv
He?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuwTEOmgVT
HE!?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAMt6xZXYt
Inko’s smile brightens like the sun while Fubuki leans her head against a wall.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdCuxK9YMo
Tatsumaki: “Mom, wait-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnxONAwfny
Inko: “My baby girl has finally become a woman!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudCZMBzAtO
Tears stream down the mother’s face. She never said anything, but she was worried her daughter would never find a guy.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM78LrhkjIH
Izuku: “No way.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsvTJCq1ne
Fubuki: “I can’t believe it, big sis got a boyfriend before me. How could this happen?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbykLR6LWXu
Kiri: “New nephew or niece?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6kYuLgm1e
Tatsumaki’s face was beyond red at this point. She covered her face in shame.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEcTHyZ5nJ
Tatsumaki: “Come on, stoooop. We’re just… coworkers.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHjQchoJiq
Inko: “Does this ‘coworker’ have a name?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5ezV2bJKz
Tatsumaki: “…I’m not telling.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7nkjgeome
Inko: “Ohhhh, you can be so cute sometimes, Tatsu.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdllU3xmpKY
Izuku: “So is it true? You really have a boyfriend?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcokeQCSqyI
Tatsumaki: “No! The only reason I’m wearing makeup is to… cover up the bags.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85tVpN6Xyw
The once joyful atmosphere sobered as the family looked at Tatsumaki.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ukSkOPrw
Fubuki: “Sister, how long has it been since you’ve slept?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRy5EihqVm
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I sleep enough.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdZ3KiYm28
Inko: “No, no, no. This is why this family outing is so important; you all need to take a break. You and Izuku need it the most.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOspi2ld4Gz
Tatsumaki: “Izu, Y-You can’t sleep?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QRjrKlKT8
Izuku: “It’s been… a bit difficult.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYnNCZvIZh
Kiri couldn’t help but blame herself a bit. Maybe it’s not her; it could be something else. But maybe the reason why he’s having trouble is because he misses her warmth. They got pretty used to each other at this point, despite the initial struggles.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wEGFE7s04
Even Kiri is having trouble sleeping without her snuggle buddy. But she… just can’t be around him while he sleeps anymore. It feels… uncomfortable.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEzxTsPt5e
Tatsumaki: “Okay, let’s do this then. If you really think it will help.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoLqb0oBno
Inko: “Great!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AREaqiVgy
Izuku: “But what are we doing?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yXU7D92FC
Inko: “Haha, would you believe me if I said I didn’t plan that far ahead.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg4rblpd89
Fubuki: “Mom…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKsQlXumwr
Inko: “Oops. But don’t worry! By the time you all dress yourselves in something casual, I will have come up with something.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP6xmIppT0
And so they did. There were still casuals Tatsumaki and Fubuki could wear within the house that suited them. After a few moments, everyone was ready.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9riXVy8Nce
Izuku had simple gray pants and a white shirt with an open blue hoodie over it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT1NTRyuPt
Kiri wore a long-sleeve yellow shirt that was a size too big but emphasized her cuteness.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RTeUcoYoV
Fubuki had a red dress shirt and a long gray skirt. Together with sunglasses, it made her look truly stylish.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnw6peMEj3
Tatsumaki wore a black shirt with a biker jacket over it and a dark frilly skirt.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuzAOO8EEo
Inko was already in her casual outfit, a pink shirt with blue jeans. Thanks to Fubuki preventing her from eating herself into a small round figure, she still looked beautiful.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQosviHSIE
Inko: “You all look great. Okay, my plan is that we go to the amusement park.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh0hjrbXfZ
Fubuki: “Sounds good, we can take my car.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd1wVMnmJO
Tatsumaki: “Why drive when we can fly?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEP6DiEae2
Fubuki: “Because not all of us can fly, and it’s pretty far.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPBIBxGIA8
Tatsumaki: “You carry Mom, I carry Kiri. Think of it like training.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzfHTeATiV
Fubuki: “Training? They’re not that heavy.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKHArCuBoj
Inko: “I wouldn’t mind Fubuki; it would be fun to fly through the sky again. I still remember the first time you took me out for a flight.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ZnmvEHTI
Fubuki: “We also got in trouble for using our quirk.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjz8svNqmK
Tatsumaki: “We’re heroes now; they won’t say anything. Now come on.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1CRa42sKf
Fubuki sighs and nods her head. Tatsumaki floats the giggling Kiri while Fubuki helps her smiling mother up. The group flies out after opening the door. But it didn’t take long to notice someone wasn’t following them.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupxIy3pswg
Fubuki: “Izu?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxyK8CKVOd
Tatsumaki: “What’s wrong?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsg8bDNG9F
Izuku was outside looking up at them, seemingly hesitating to use his quirk. Not wanting to worry them though, he shakes his head.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ttOIYeuh
Izuku: “N-Nothing.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiFt9Ei4BJ
He slowly lifts himself and joins them in the sky.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvWAsKsnTK
Tatsumaki: “Great, now try to keep up.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VskLqG8mX
Fubuki: “No, we’re not blasting off.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hLd9BDOei
Inko: “I would prefer a more leisurely flight. I love looking at the world below pass by.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLDBICgm07
Izuku: “Agreed.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgJi51i8Hx
Kiri: “Nh.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZszuhFkYe9
Tatsumaki: “Darn, outvoted. Fine, we can go grandma speed.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF2ynKUPnQ
Inko: “Hey, your grandma used to be known as the turbo granny. She had no speed quirk, but you wouldn’t know that by how she ran… away from problems, that is.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLnY1aaDGZ
The family either laughed or smiled at the comment. After that, it didn’t take long for them to touch down at the nearest amusement park.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEtg9tKgBd
Kiri: “Colorful.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2vcQgBxB4
Inko: “Yep, I’m glad it’s giving you a good first impression, Kiri. So gang, what’s first?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvaCdkGfgG
“Bumper Cars!” “Roller Coaster.” “Food!” “Ferris Wheel!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRpMurDJ69
It seemed like everyone had different desires.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx940ZJW89
Tatsumaki: “A Ferris wheel? Fubuki, come on! That’s boring.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdduYbqL5J
Fubuki: “Aren’t we too old for bumper cars?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79qTqEtHH6
Tatsumaki: “Scared of losing? I understand.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJFVBrE9iX
Fubuki: “Ha, from what I remember, I always beat you at those.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZHAjTi3QZ
Yeah, those were the days. One of the few things she could beat her sister at. Besides that and academics, Fubuki didn’t win much. It wasn’t nearly as important as beating her in psychic power, but she still held those small wins in high regard.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCcwfzow7M
Tatsumaki: “Things will be different this time.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGURFH325P
Inko: “Okay, you all want to do something different. How about we play for it? Jan-ken-pon!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRG2OLH73h
Tatsumaki: “And you said I was the one being too much of a kid.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPewb2FIjd
Izuku: “Does sound fair, though.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCfnJ0xe8O
Kiri: “Nh.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp973yLTib
Fubuki: “Let’s do it.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyXesYvxpW
Inko: “Great! Now get ready.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r5aHBZCAs
Everyone got into battling position.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1xwycTLd8
Inko: “Jan!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpqea3ylIn
Izuku: “Ken.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxzro5Jy9r
Tatsumaki: “Pon!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzv3TnNNOk
The result? Fubuki won.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2419H76tQ
Tatsumaki: “Darn it!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wt4Smqhji
Fubuki: “Ferris wheel it is.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlfBZk8Bce
Inko: “We play again to decide in what order we’ll go in.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTC4eOq0gx
The group played again, and at the end, the schedule looked like this.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SDUgmolpP
Ferris Wheel, Bumper Cars, Food, Shooting Range(Inko’s choice), and Roller Coaster.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu42T0prqzn
Plan set, the family entered the amusement park and had some fun.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOYE1eehkh
Despite initially not liking it, Tatsumaki enjoyed the Ferris Wheel. Seeing her family just relax was nice and the view was great. Kiri was especially captivated when they reached the summit.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VNMBEvxER
It was so relaxing; Tatsumaki drifted off to sleep on her mother’s shoulder. Seeing this, the family smiled warmly at the innocent look Tatsumaki rarely shows.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE6gHg2C8h
Fubuki: “So we’ll buy another round or two, right?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCBrCRmaaA
“Yep.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ohV6P5ZH
The whole family agreed to let Tatsumaki get some rest. So Inko paid for two more rides. When Tatsumaki finally awoke, she was too embarrassed to say thank you directly. But the blush was all they needed.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDQtOQ2PQa
Next was the Bumper cars. The family was nothing but smiles throughout the whole game; it was good to return to simpler times.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUjxkUlw0n
Kiri was the first one out, not used to using any vehicle. Next was Izuku for similar reasons. Much to her surprise, Tatsumaki lost next, but not to who she was expecting.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh75KlZ5wE
Inko: “Haha, don’t underestimate your mom, kids. I’ve been driving before you were all born.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQSZ33OGQT
Fubuki: “You still need to beat me, the current champion of bumper cars.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUyt71KePo
Inko: “Former champion, you mean. Here I come!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgIAUgD9Nh
It was a close match, but in the end, the mother won.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXuhxOUZBu
Inko: “Hahahaha!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFsqYuxMMo
Fubuki: “I have to admit, Mom, you’re a good driver.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbhIASF87r
Kiri: “Nh.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcYLBaJJqm
Tatsumaki: “You should show those skills more often. You usually drive like a snail.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1aqo1DVAS
Izuku: “I don’t think me and Kiri could survive Mom doing some of those moves.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0T9RMRX8j
Kiri: “No, no.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiEEKFyll8
The group shared a laugh while on the way to the food stalls. Tatsumaki got some candy apples, her favorite, while Kiri found her new favorite food.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwZvXJbPrD
Kiri: “Mmmmmm!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRYFDTHjwu
Cotton Candy.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbId2hncOV
Fubuki: “You two have a ridiculously big sweet tooth.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTJnptTnuJ
Tatsumaki: “And we have no shame. Right, Kiri?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtruINEntlR
Kiri: “Nh. Love it.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzxUilJNrG
Fubuki hasn’t completely accepted Kiri yet, but she can now admit she’s cute with a smile.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY5AfU6aqY
The rest of the group just got an assortment of normal snacks. Well, normal for Midoriya standards. To anyone else, the whole family had a sweet tooth.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vs0A1H3HG
Inko got four massive cinnamon rolls.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0IcCYtC9g
Inko: “What? It’s a free day today; I can splurge a bit.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSly9n2tKf
Izuku got some sherbet ice cream.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOt77y1Fab
Fubuki, the most normal, got a strawberry smoothie.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglUg00WwIK
The shooting range was a surprise. Everyone did fairly well despite three of them never having held a gun. In the end though, Tatsumaki won.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqhHwPzkPe
Fubuki: “You moved the shot with your powers.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5mnPHmZ73
Tatsumaki: “You have no proof of that. I won fair and square. Now, since I won, I’m going to get some more sweets for me and Kiri.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmISu6WlpZ
Kiri: “Yes.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UR3VE3nQM
Tatsumaki and Kiri dashed back to the food stalls while Fubuki sighed.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey2Nbn9zuk
Fubuki: “I swear they’ll bankrupt us at this point.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Rq5IMPk8
Izuku: “At least they’re having fun.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizB4nB24dK
Inko: “Yeah. But… what about you, sweetie? How do you feel?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYtbksppUX
Fubuki and Inko look to Izuku with some concern. He’s not as animated as he could be. But despite that, Izuku flashed them a bright smile.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZYQGmowZs
Izuku: “Y-Yes, I’m… glad I came. It’s fun hanging out with you all again.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqfd7fZuoJ
Inko hugs her son.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuDnwusTej
Inko: “I’m happy to hear it. If you ever need a break and you just miss us, please tell me. We’ll do this again.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKqU1ous2n
Izuku: “I… will. Thank you, Mom.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv9vglWQ5v
Inko: “Good. And the same applies to you, Fubuki.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8y4EKqgDa
Fubuki: “Huh? Me?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5k2RVSkyh
Inko: “Yes, I don’t want you or Tatsumaki to work yourselves to the bone. So please take a break now and then. Your agency won’t explode without you. Sometimes, you’re even busier than Tatsumaki.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkJape4bue
Fubuki: “R-Really? I…. didn’t notice. I’ll try to make more time, mom, I promise.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EYOCWxDP3
Inko: “That’s all I ask.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNNYeZQqBX
Once Tatsumaki and Kiri were back, they ended things with the Roller Coaster. Kiri didn’t understand why her family was screaming and holding their arms up, but she did the same. It was in a monotone manner, but she’s trying.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiury6MJw9
It was a great time; that is, until they got off the ride.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUQS1M7ubU
Inko: “Ugh… maybe we should have eaten after the Roller Coaster.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeDTCufVJu
Izuku: “Are you okay?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3TDzUqdkZ
Inko: “I think… I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1tp1TFmjT
Inko rushes to the bathroom while everyone else waits for her.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS5dnh0hRx
Fubuki: “I should have stopped her when she went to eat more cinnamon rolls.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaQYNZlfyU
Izuku: “Maybe, but it’s nice seeing Mom let loose and have fun. I prefer this than to her worrying about us all the time.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeoc9g0a28
Fubuki: “… You’re right.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYjeogwS2V
Tatsumaki: “What the heck is this!?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2zpiKfRxB
The two espers look to their older sister, who seems to have found a new attraction.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpHgX5LNZJ
Izuku: “Kiri, can you wait for Mom?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZPpYWJEh5
Kiri: “Nh.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbGAgfrhc0
Izuku: “Thanks.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkqiLfXp5r
The duo walked up to Tatsumaki, who was near what seemed to be a haunted house.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuoP5UVVkJ
Izuku: “That’s strange. Was this always here?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHsz3nlkj3
Fubuki: “It is strange to have a haunted house in an amusement park.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWXupSEtQn
Izuku: “Some people find amusement in being scared.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGScIACJbWX
Tatsumaki: “Freaks, I say. Who wants to be scared?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyF6NiFOnp
The trio looked at the building for a few moments before Fubuki broke the silence.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3YYxrLgzi
Fubuki: “So Tatsu, thinking of going in?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgojzx5StX
Tatsumaki: “W-What?! Of course not! I was just wondering why something like this was here.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvn8rtzIuq
Fubuki: “I don’t know, sounds like you WANT to go in, but you’re too scared to.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBPFkeQH62
Tatsumaki: “HUHHHH, NO WAY!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCZPgDyNn9
Fubuki: “No, it’s totally fine. I’m sure even other pro heroes have something they’re scared of. It’s just natural. There’s no shame in saying you’re scared of ghosts.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZS3885wuj
Tatsumaki: “There’s NOTHING that scares me. In fact, you know what? I’ll go in and prove you wrong. Nothing scares me; you’ll see!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BPh0oyrL8
And there she goes, into the dark house of horrors. Izuku stares at Fubuki until she notices it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbadrBTano2
Fubuki: “What?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWx9ZNWk0F
Izuku: “…That was mean.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvogs5GD4R9
Fubuki: “Come on, it’s just friendly sister teasing. You have to get victories where you can. Speaking of, Izu, are you still scared of clowns?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIewhLepLFi
Izuku: “And would you look at the time? I have to get back to Kiri.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4qwb6yiWJ
Fubuki giggles as Izuku walks back the way he came. But as he does, he sees a familiar face.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdERnluJ9hk
Izuku: “Tsuyu!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4vGNJWsG1
She was at one of the food stalls with two other frog-looking kids. Her siblings perhaps? Regardless, Izuku was happy to see her. So happy he was that he didn’t notice her alarm when seeing him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbnTvHRww
Tsuyu made her way to Izuku, making sure her siblings were behind her.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6L5IGEFbh
Tsuyu: “H-Hello, Midoriya. H-Here with your family too?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P4vPJs5uQ
Izuku: “Yes. Are these your siblings?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwmedn1c2m
Tsuyu: “Yes. Satsuki, Samidare, this is Izuku Midoriya. T-The one I was telling you about. Say hi.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbTmOf4DMG
They gave their greetings while making sure to stay behind Tsuyu. They feel it too, in their instincts, the things under his shadow. Their genetic memory remembers; it screams out against one in particular, The Body.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ZT7Bg6XR
Izuku: “Hello. I’m glad to see you, Tsuyu. I wasn’t awake at the time, so I wasn’t sure, but I’m happy to see you’re alrig-”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWihAgQEQI
Izuku goes to touch her shoulder, a show of care, nothing more, but her in-built instinct screams out. She automatically knocks his hand away. Both of their eyes widen at what just happened.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJOhiJAQ7G
The world fades away as they look into each other’s eyes, surprise etched into both of their gazes. But more than anything, pain and sorrow are reflected in Izuku’s dimming orbs.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5XtuBlxZx
Tsuyu: “I-I’m sorry, Midoriya. I-I don’t know what came over me. I guess I’m still not feeling well after the attack. T-Those villains were really scary.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b3yDYnvcb
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, the villains… I-I-It’s fine. I-I was being too forward. I’ll… leave.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Xkc2Npkl
Tsuyu wants to tell him that she was at fault, that he can stay and talk. That he’s still her friend. But she can’t bring herself to do it. Instead, she absentmindedly leads her siblings away to someplace safe.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFZCdrS6Qt
As for Izuku, his heart races and breaks at the memory of what he did during the attack. The monster he became.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFcjOa8G6N
Before he can become lost in the guilt and shame, he feels Kiri hug him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFEigJ0xDl
Kiri: “Onii…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnPy3ipoxR
He should feel warmth and happiness from her hug. She’s trying so hard to make him feel better. But her hug only makes it worse, because she’s shivering.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT9n2PinXN
Not from the cold, but because she wants to stop touching him. Like, being this close is uncomfortable. Like, he makes her skin crawl. Even Kiri, of all people, doesn’t want to be near him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsP2b8Zq6V
She lets him go and scratches her skin.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPpIS9ELwB
Kiri: “I’m… sorry.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlwFk9Iitw
Izuku: “… I know.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjlSvqDr2L
The day went by quickly after that. Izuku kept up appearances, and he thinks he fooled everyone else. He refuses to ruin their good time; they are what’s important.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Co0JxBYZ
He laughed when Tatsumaki claimed there was a real ghost in the haunted house and for everyone to watch out.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Ee7bKzUP
He smiled when Fubuki didn’t believe it and teased Tatsu again.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80MDaHSJAW
He beamed when his mother was the peacemaker and managed to extend the trip for one more hour. After that, they flew home. Izuku once again struggles to use his quirk, but he gets over it for his family.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJPcHTXkTF
It was almost nighttime when they got home.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATOAMLtEcm
Tatsumaki: “I have to admit, today was fun.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ouyEoNtS
Fubuki: “I’m glad you got us all together, Mom.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEySoAgtqI
Inko: “You’re welcome. Are you going to stay?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMglMt8KEp
Fubuki: “Sure.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIskzJS4ubx
Tatsumaki: “I don’t think I can make it home anyway.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG5Oe4Pl8N
Inko: “Great! Kiri, you can sleep with me so Fubuki can have her room back.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcMLfmlhjB
Kiri: “…Nh.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroFoeQ7g9H
And so it was, the family cleaned themselves and got ready for bed. But before Tatsumaki fell into her bed, Izuku approached her.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0mBVKkqCv
Izuku: “Tatsu, before you go to bed, I have a question.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPKdTauT7h
Tatsumaki: “Sure, what is it?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2a8D1U1da
The brother led her to the empty living room and sat down. Tatsu, sensing a serious conversation, sat down next to him and waited.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHfFpYmeCS
Izuku: “Tatsu, how does it feel to be so powerful? Are you ever… scared of it?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhudBXGu8r
Tatsumaki: “Izu, why are you asking me this? What’s happening?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfavyPavZh
Izuku: “Please, just answer me.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHs7ZJbvPf
She sighs before answering.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvyNverYYR
Tatsumaki: “Well, to answer the first question, pretty great. It gives me nearly unlimited freedom and the ability to protect my family. Doesn’t hurt that our quirks are convenient and fun to use.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWFMmJpkkd
She doesn’t let her brother see the burden such power gives you or the heartbreak that comes when you fail despite it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UZnhJo16H
All Izuku sees is his amazing and powerful big sister.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHPdw8sgFq
Tatsumaki: “As for the second question…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mSGUYXy1O
She wants to say no, never. Who would be scared of their own power? Why would Izuku? Then she remembers that she doesn’t know how he defeated the Nomu or what happened.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA343I0uVh
She wonders if there is something more to her brother’s quirk.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoSry79nm8
So with that in mind, she changes her answer and lets some vulnerability show.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBvIuz5zTL
Tatsumaki: “There were only two times when I was ever scared of my power or even resentful of it.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c4Yv4WO61
Izuku: “R-Really? Why?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFx3TQfRHc
Tatsumaki: “I… don’t want to discuss what caused me to be resentful. As for scared, it was… when I saw how terrified others were of me.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsD0MSlZHN
Izuku: “W-What did you do?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2wgoZsLYZ
Tatsumaki: “I changed how I used my powers and was a bit more mindful of them. Over time, they became less scared of me. I still cause the most property damage, but it’s the thought that counts.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgZfyEr1n8
The two shared a laugh at one of Tatsu’s few flaws. It died down soon after when it was time to return to the serious manner.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycIs2xi5mP
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what’s happening to you, Izu, but I do know that our powers don’t make us monsters. It’s how and why we use them that matters. You can’t be scared of them. Because if you are, how can you improve enough to be a pro hero alongside me and Fubuki?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy07l6g4qM
Izuku: “Wow… I didn’t expect this from you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG91IIUeKy
Tatsumaki: “Hey! I have my big sister moments from time to time.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxgyAFVQA3
Izuku: “Hahaha, I know. Thanks, Tatsu. I won’t disappoint you; I’ll… master my quirk.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwJIyKQcG1
Tatsumaki: “I expect nothing less. Now.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SLmFRVNgJ
She gets up and stretches.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhRhDIgxL6
Tatsumaki: “I should get to bed. I have a lot to do tomorrow; your big sis still needs to catch those big bad villains who hurt my precious siblings.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3A3svjXn3
Izuku: “Right, good night, Tastu.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBRxZmA0iz
Tatsumaki: “Sweet dreams, Izu.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXZNTdA4S4
Sweet dreams… huh?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EvJniSWYG
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fagtj08TY
Kiri couldn’t sleep. Yeah, the embrace of her mother was great, but it wasn’t what she needed. She wanted to be with Izuku.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzpjHa2pG5
Once again, she failed to be there for him. She could feel his negative feelings, and it was terrible. Confused, painful, and alone.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZWDPuTEBG
It got better earlier in the night, but it’s still there. She wishes she could eat it like normal, but something is preventing her. She must try harder for him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAay1hJoPxx
So she untangles herself from her mom and slips out of the room. She stalks the halls until she reaches Izuku’s room. Kiri opens it slightly to see if he’s still awake. Turns out, he’s not even in the room.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOPh6SIz7I
Panicking a bit, she called out telepathically.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXsPDCy5nE
Kiri: “Izuku? Where are you?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9l3QSu0ZN
After a moment, she got a response.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXT8qGc15X
Izuku: “Roof.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYAXvlkFfz
Breathing a sigh of relief, Kiri closes the door and makes her way to the roof of the apartment complex. The night sky was beautiful tonight, filled with stars.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrdKfrHZNc
It was this sight that Kiri walked into and what Izuku has been staring at for a while now. He’s leaning against the railings with his head angled to the stars; Kiri soon joined him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWpNHLBYxv
Kiri: “Izu.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXGd8EdmpC
Izuku: “Couldn’t sleep either?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9zTZr97BV
Kiri: “Nh.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzAlkCVHfh
Izuku: “…I’m sorry if I… scare you. I’ll get better at using my quirk; I have to.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuhf02q6ja
Kiri: “You don’t scare me.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNhoTTOLHM
Izuku: “Then why do you shiver when we’re together?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9cld7Q07
Should she tell him? He doesn’t know how his… outburst affected her. Would telling him just make things worse?
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBSQolsS1M
Izuku: “You don’t have to say anything; I know.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Prq5hpiN5
Kiri: “Know… what?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzduEuLRhKn
Izuku: “How what I did affected you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IiF57W4Wp
Her eyes widen.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aSWvCuxSp
Kiri: “How?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE9xQYXaTq
Izuku: “…Something told me. And even if it didn’t, I could have figured it out. You’re… part of my quirk after all; sometimes I forget, but it would make sense if major changes to my quirk would affect you too. A few nights ago, I assume you got a sudden increase in power.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PmwZo7gCE
Kiri: “… Nh.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPm5mfbhoh
It happened not that long after the UA attack, a sudden jump in power. She felt… more complete somehow.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtunfBUxHJj
Izuku: “That’s why… I understand why you don’t want to touch me. I’m… sorry, Kiri, for what I did.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE3AWk5TKm
Kiri: “Don’t apologize; you were just trying to save me.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQkLhp6maL
Izuku: “But I shouldn’t have done it like that or… indulged so much. Instead of ending it quickly… I… played with the Nomu. I… enjoyed making it suffer and… was planning on doing the same thing to Kacchan.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcLr1r7ppd
His hands tighten around the railings enough to dent it a bit.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNM4Cgx48b
Izuku: “And after… a certain dream, I got a small taste of just how much stronger I can get and… how villainous it can become. If just that dip into the potential of my quirk does that… I-I’m frightened by what I’ll turn into later. I’m scared of what… might happen to you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAQ7LcRs0c
Kiri doesn’t know what to say to all of that or how to help. So she does what she can; she grabs his hand and interlocks her fingers with his. As expected, it feels… off.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8rD1PSuVh
Izuku: “I’m alright; you don’t have to force yourself. After talking with Tatsu, I know it’s how and why I use this power that’s important. So I’ll… master it and become a hero who saves people with a smile. Not one filled with cruelty but with joy.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlRJcTQONK
Kiri tightens her grip, fighting against that feeling. She doesn’t want to let go because this is the person she adores, the Hero Izuku. This is the boy she loves.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcphnDsq91L
Izuku: “I’ll make sure you won’t ever have to go through what you did before again. So… until then, you don’t have to force yourself to be around me.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiEPRtblVa
Kiri shakes her head.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUDTtroPAU
Kiri: “I want to stay. Izu, I… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblE3chnamw
That familiar feeling returns, strong enough to smother the itchiness. This time, she follows through.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8vjhlfPoO
She turns Izuku’s face towards her and leans in close. But she doesn’t go all the way, instead she just places a simple kiss on his cheek.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpezFRE6im
Izuku: “K-Kiri?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeI9In0eWs
Kiri: “You’re not alone; we’ll both improve and become heroes together. I won’t leave your side again, Izu.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wM0Ch2N2l
She says that, but she’s still shivering. However, Kiri won’t untangle her hand from his. Instead, she’ll prove her words through action. It’s time for both of them to finally get some real rest.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw6hOzcsqY
Kiri: “Come.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VrYSg1EDZ
She leads Izuku back inside and eventually to his bedroom. After closing the door, the two get in bed. Izuku is still worried about whether Kiri will suddenly leave like the first time.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2kWita3qm
But she doesn’t; she hugs his chest and buries her face in his neck.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfcqo70O3T
The feeling is horrible.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd3tlmBXwv
Like several insects crawling and biting her skin. Her body is shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBHKNWMGs7
Izuku: “Kiri, stop. Go back to Mom’s room.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiZ6UDczWm
Kiri: “N-No.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzOydJimyr
She won’t back down from this. She hangs on for dear life as the sensation gets worse.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxQeVXlWuT
Clearly, this is not normal. She knows she’s not scared of Izuku and wouldn’t recoil at his touch. So there must be something foreign doing this, something within him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6m4bYkY5e
Well, all the more reason to fight on. And fight on she does; no matter how terrible it feels, she doesn’t let go. In fact, she holds on tighter and starts rubbing his back.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY9ZtSa4Vi
Kiri: “I-It will be okay. It will be okay.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvWPlCjTv0
Izuku: “Kiri…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaUBI13ND3
And like a storm, eventually, it passes. As if she passed some threshold or test, the sensation stopped.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwzeKIRif5
The insects disappear, and the feeling is replaced with the warmth they both missed. Kiri stops shaking and settles comfortably into Izuku.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0IAi28OWP
He senses this and sighs with relief.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy9UXcMmeX
Kiri: “See? I told you, I won’t leave your side again.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg0OmPPJtD
Izuku closes his eyes and smiles. He really has amazing sisters. He embraces her tightly, conveying all the gratitude he could.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRsH8eOQIx
Izuku: “Kiri, thank you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF25VnPVcNK
She smiles as the two finally get some restful sleep.

Fanfic Adapted: Tatsumaki: Tornado of Trouble by Whackybiscuit [2022]
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YfEzZXedv
(WARNING: it’s 18+. This is where Arashi comes from. Their history is similar to Chapter 1. But their current relationship is more original.)
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNwETA8xVS
A/N: Damn, this was way bigger than I thought. It was fun though, so I hope you enjoyed it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMooTgiPZX
Now, continuing what I said in the last author note. I think another problem that awaits me in the future is the Izuku x Momo ship.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEMTK6H3a3
Can you believe I’m starting to fall out of love with this ship? I swear it’s not just because of Kiri. It just feels off now. I also may have crippled it by not giving her a moment during the UA attack.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvdaSEsYIU
She is supposed to get One For All, but to do that, Izuku needs to see how great she is and that she has the physical strength to handle it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinxjY4LCmF
If she is not able to get One For All, I will lose darn near all interest in this ship.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08NRfw9R9B
I can still salvage this; I just don’t know how yet. I’m going to read other Izuku x Momo fanfics to see if it can get a second wind in my mind.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUsQSoIzZh
If not, I may have to go all the way with Izuku x Kiri. My muse clearly loves the pair, and Kiri clearly loves Izuku. The obstacle is getting Izuku to say yes.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83PqRzjJoJ
On a happier note, I hope you got the reference I placed in this chapter. With it, I have set up the possibility for Saitama to appear.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2pbCwAScz
But if I do include him, it will be during his earlier years, and he’ll stay mostly in the background. That means no Saitama ship, not enough time to set it up.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiZe90tmMG
But I could have it in the background, off-screen, if it’s Fubuki. In this context, I think it can work. But I would prefer him to stay single since that’s more in line with his character, IMO.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLXvENLtVA
Regardless, Saitama won’t be a big part of the story overall. Can still do cool stuff or even participate in major events later, but just not every arc. And since this is not him at his peak, he will be vulnerable to some things.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjQwqdvFnz
For example, Tomura can kill him and he has no resistance to mental attacks.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbBKBV7vud
For those that don’t want Saitama in this story at all, comment now or forever hold your peace.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVN0ymYHGy
Well, that’s all I want to talk about. Till next time.
