Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJpHe7vh3q
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfNSNtOxO4
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGV3HgrSx6
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEm377gfhq
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4psFI4VHe3
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkafXGu7DBq
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq0gsOhBvK
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZDTpKFEft
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE6kKJJ2Pu
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…
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48RPNgVtZo
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsR2GUTYKt
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvqZAVPuLR
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdCuLmLoAX
It’s everywhere.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PlNSV4pEN
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKf5cUIOHG
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL47ZCsIkfI
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvxYHSmway
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHaXop1aoZ
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHI1VSOxD4
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq6YbFgq1X
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzkMghcsC5
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhLMJbUzum
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn0lhlANOM
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYz0NzYMpW
“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.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4inyJmBDFM
Izuku: “To do what?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdojOosbD7k
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu22io5eSA
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JxZXhbiwc
But one thing keeps him grounded.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3UUhfKPz8
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.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUKf6zIvZD
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPZWeADI0j
“I knew I chose well.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3LCLO9hO3
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFlfatAwkC
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0umEQzqbu
“You’re waking up.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoPdeiHdca
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85W1N63dBM
“That, I have no doubt.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZSP61plO0
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtXpGmqFAF
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGl7sh7ezz
“…My name is-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzwSPmbJ0E
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatubDhXOod
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AHWrMSjL3
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYziYwiwlTM
A lap pillow.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVIuTIpTve
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs61qG1NH1
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNphFMYRSI
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyimvLDJBrM
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sf2tiPdet
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojKVJw63JZ
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tqrjts1Kn
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvzmTiN3wM
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQcbSBXHUW
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn54m5PeTT
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4StKRqFlgT
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSzOukMDGR
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvO0eKE6lN
Izuku: “Ow.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowVKAA4j1y
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp1xnl2ULT
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaDLcHLPg3
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBZ94xASCK
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGR7NgK5RK
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzKE1qRSyh
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtnCMdh61O
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy651CqjNs
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTU7TfMhiF
Izuku: “Yes!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9jf9DrSaa
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH214VBWcA
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96cQrQnQZP
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLiKcL3Q4v
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ8cU24vmi
The place looked like a warzone!
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkWk864cxv
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKYPUMjoHY
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TrZvBo3Q5
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjRtI93tu4
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lsEqgisbp
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQooaslaNNE
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFOUhVtQJn
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR5AGPFwtR
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRPdePvV8O
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t3lz3kxBE
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK6Nfm3W1j
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaViFBqQA9
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCFcV5LxOD
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmhIqUPx6I
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDgFancErj
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ysyfKkmLA
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAPwcV6eg3
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYMMFPgAte
No.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZMskNL2Rp
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaJAHqQF87
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZHMtCAGj
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Qq53oYTv
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw7PtBAg7W
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G7JRECBsJ
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQfgXnPvHw
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-
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnx6jgKx5f
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsGtKNV5u7
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G6DbWwX56
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VXVXhTH8S
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqYYIITCNz
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8ffEMzglB
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBRq0YMWD2
Valkyrie: “I-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAetnKpYJQo
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNA49Q4jgd
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9BCllP3ZD
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTROcEM54F
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzFP0OMNq9
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ50k1RwYNn
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3KsR3laFw
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2Dsusi51i
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5AAKSIRCo
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW91IomI8LF
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJcWvUxat
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55eqLhzgga
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdbgmJCeZp
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrxcljmU0H
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT5jOuejfH
Yes, she was getting hurt.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbPym3fYFo
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuKWYN9mCy
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN6hknW3Zk
This couldn’t go on.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxvErAwICa
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs9JcEyaXZ
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyCvgy346r
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8tTAmVNVg
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn0BNqO3nq
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK0Fg0msTm
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZb8tep4tg
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNZ2FWGw5J
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcBOTPJdDA
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvETr3C4y8m
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXK0lFKsLo
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCZ4ksTs4E
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcHl1d8kLy
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23grS8CoBw
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzMgLVdG9T
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tY999n6KF
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEZLbwacjj
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0X4R7aqYu
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDyZOW2fb6
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptEX5jc9gv
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TRL1saItL
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBas0hOfE16
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN35D9PJMdU
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdhkQwBpmp
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvevs2WDQh
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10ADCu3pAA
Valkyrie: “Family.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXukIIw2QBx
Wrong answer.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5qra9vI9n
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfXVEXKlBu
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqplws1zL2P
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZr1z8A0HB
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEkOMobldY
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes9MHykRJW
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5xvWj86iu
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE1EBp8P1G
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAHzpLcw7v
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFTDov5Ake
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhs52tt07X
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRxseGhHS9
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXLmEXwsuf
All eyes return to the fading boy.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDud9Cjggzs
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9u7dYGoRq
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlV46151qg
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyMbtYqTOB
Tatsumaki: “How?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvjKhcVpDd
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlvhaUOynK
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWG2aiX3iR
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6HVBL5XE0
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1TRTLOE40
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaRdkEWFsP
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDMWZMykY8
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvc5XcArNn
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj0zIoqWXM
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRumvVv9jE0
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZFa07oZxE
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2KD0xOW3L
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzcFwHCohz
She took a moment before nodding.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwsExc6YP6
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKtx7gRSET
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgidaWfh8GW
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SMl18t1pW
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCayc1Bycm
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqnhn1R1Ma
Fubuki: “Of course.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkJD55eyPG
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZJTunxfqt
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%”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZA85C7BVQ
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZaXL4TW5y
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJlWTIjjQM
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4FdwDENsd
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0F0EIYoho
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQf4cRkt9L
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCtjwMvQPo
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mn3UnCOCl
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEblfk9w9Y
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpOIRowGbl
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUroHrFZbc
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMhTyZOjur
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZh17VRiZ3
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqvPVdDDO
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplHbdpoyx5
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"

The two sisters looked at the scene with a slight blush and they weren’t the only ones. Izuku was also blushing, and cursing his hormones. He always found Valkyrie pretty.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ946nffhbVa
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZfXMmkzqV
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS81r8cDqW
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVdBZomia1
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiRJSquu43
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEduAQhvmCV
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtcMuHktTs
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJXTiW5fWI
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6xvZ8jAmk
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGgp50xd7j
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3RXdUbLzQ
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy67c3GJOV
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfe5Rmid3b
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNrhKHrb1I
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPA7a4pQU1
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt4qQdNZKa
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4idLMpjI43
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1nXFpyALT
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyZ5pZlJj5
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSoA0jRkbN
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.

'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1BF99SGzB
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8z9HncFts
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJrNtjjDfq
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Md0V4X1G
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwop35upKo
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEhoiocNMn
Something answered.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI4ti8LRE2
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw5U7O0fBD
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC03336vWkd

Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo74PlOU8HZ

Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWgsuJn26K
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdMVZHIkuX
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgwkDFurIr
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvoNMnVEsi
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKBVpK88nT
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyrX70oXqe
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CrfnhhsLX
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRIKVmOC9H
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhLccYnqLT
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPK5Rh172d
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUgRITKWhR
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0UxzsLn1y
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?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OSkuufB3U
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkmhIAqivf
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdbd2NuKhi

Izuku: "Ten years..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98e9hJodxr
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0RHGrT2RT
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxRFBGgtxL
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lUN7i8LEJ
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ57tAYLR5x
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE52mQqlqZ
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbUPmobNCf
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdt856fKbd
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lG4xnGKQt
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUqk7WnvMI
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS41oAKrJrK

The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.

Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJpmSgBlNR

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbpkVeCgQF
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemjDSuBZL9
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j7V5qyfDS

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A1bTXX0T6
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDDEUzTe1B
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR19WbCtcMI
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIFfFlvEMF
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…
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT0HXnQLpP
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQmyFNvEba
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HBWJSviBo

Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge2izbYrGq

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6CNqnvwLs
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8qazvvHh5
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb5TElifla
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKPkcjLKuK
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9sUzFgP8G

Nezu: “Nevermind.”

Izuku got up and bowed to the principal.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxpEsGzOao

Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs6LF6ewmH

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEDUvNYcxm
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBYCRx6HEs

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCvYYSNO13
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXxXNtZ94Q

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTndE2FON6
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bn7cYkwgl
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.”
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO1pMNiwlL
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm8msX8bL0
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVdkBjzTPf
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHzyBtaU8r
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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mKfZ1KLSC
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwywap4hoeA
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KdM3UlWZD

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lVkblPmmZ
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3tYuapsEo
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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTh1pnPPed
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyUQPxfHSn
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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqSEGGbe8g

Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”

Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05fjDfpRkw

He blanched, finally remembering.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwXcaQiLzD

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCRjXsVdZa
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBz6hd6Hzl
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?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdPZyPbgwT
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYsTMJTuvb
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa3eCYTmrw
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz4LHGKMJZ
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY227GKq1cT

Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEypSrLmrWh
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjX3O5AuAV
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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhTexFaAM8
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbniZzBm1Cw
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"

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEXAIDmfnC
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWUsr6tf2A
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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaGXNSyb8q
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eIYgTgbcx
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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlkHCHQOvH
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmTljQtTk5

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZifkhWLpK
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JJPpHRkEe
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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB20jUcNXP
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSCDLrxfWV
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvJBaxCLQh

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

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

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

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

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

Toshinori smiled before bulking up.

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

He started laughing a little boisterously.

Izuku: "And here's my promise to you, All Might. I'll search high and low if I have to! We'll find your successor to One For All!"

He then surprised All Might with his next statement.

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

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

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

Valkyrie, because she won’t be replaced. She can rest easy that she’s apart of her brother’s powers and so won’t be cast out.

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

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

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