Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAtpgnPUCK4e
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMGkOJV8vPH
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
201Please respect copyright.PENANANMsJynZr3M
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA7sihpwAhCz
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1o9C0UCbif
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
201Please respect copyright.PENANApsiY0fGhY4
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA82AAtClYAH
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
201Please respect copyright.PENANARANfL5Tvxz
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAoZFAdGghsP
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…
201Please respect copyright.PENANAiYXsGflu81
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANATbwIcWFJZy
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANADXiOQr5OkS
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA3ulr6rIhU4
It’s everywhere.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA2sx4lrs2TJ
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAjTYrAhYUXe
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA8vbnOl7WSw
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAaYxRJHyeCg
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAG0B5Zdhl8C
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA0qNEgsp2ju
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAT8Gng2IQ83
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAw76P5MyLKV
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA4ho2dpCy7w
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJrUljjYcpT
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMoz4WoqXEL
“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.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANARrE56hv9TF
Izuku: “To do what?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1HvVRth8uq
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXbCZrrBE2F
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHVa4ocG0HR
But one thing keeps him grounded.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJQqybAgVaV
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.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA6KUj6bfJVU
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAj859CDAPLb
“I knew I chose well.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAQoQvBOyjLY
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJxZsC32PLZ
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAvd7p6X7U6W
“You’re waking up.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAGhqN6Ht0gK
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbJWsJo4Iob
“That, I have no doubt.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdC1Vgkz6HM
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
201Please respect copyright.PENANANr1z4Du4Fe
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANACZLLYrx0Mq
“…My name is-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA9h4F3RZAn0
201Please respect copyright.PENANA4jQPntypbo
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAGMJ2tWwBGM
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAuOINbBjIZw
A lap pillow.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAm22IvJUhJm
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5R8bv0E84b
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJgYmlrfalw
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMdq7bPVSX7
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAYkCare4fIO
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA8zhQPE3Z3R
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA0rW6RrNSvb
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHwoeQG4aLL
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANASCpA6VfnUG
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAprvaEXj6Go
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZNfKtBYYu
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmdSX4ZLQ09
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAyAYYgxVx41
Izuku: “Ow.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAQLBtdqYu0Z
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMxfJINfDOH
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAuRyq8BCXhS
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA61813n1YFo
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbf2yaPID71
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAcA6sRCoaS5
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1rHuFmaZTZ
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAz42uLbd8VH
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
201Please respect copyright.PENANAloG8Zu9Sog
Izuku: “Yes!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA2FBqfinJYl
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA3TXfDFDSrj
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1YfP1yEUhl
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJoTw12bRVo
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAFTTaZ61Zof
The place looked like a warzone!
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzDyVdOtymE
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAUdT3dQzd8w
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAAwKwF9wzHi
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
201Please respect copyright.PENANAA1dIlKNnAD
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA18u1v47imY
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXO6G9RmScA
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhkwRkeaS78
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAjUHicKo7Sc
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAytuFgVQxRL
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5iwQSYQJu5
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAFbwj83uMsZ
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAKmufFzfOSR
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAEQYYCwTcUo
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAx6jvOaPwi5
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhYE7eq7nak
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdKt6HOW0iY
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAQdm0Q81lAc
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAtacHYpFlm2
No.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAM0BmToXfbj
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAM5Wgtr5QGr
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAERYjAeiz8r
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAg7sZYOl6YP
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAh1YVxAgwx0
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8Yn3Jei02
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
201Please respect copyright.PENANADYmGFVIPGm
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-
201Please respect copyright.PENANAAN7iLpCPW6
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAj4FpoGGl2i
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmHZe7XBQRD
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhxqOubWzQx
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAYGDBcEPnFf
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAd2U1hC7wQo
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA8TAx5Dbnme
Valkyrie: “I-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAClpJdRF1hv
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdyMb10JnkY
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA9enU9Z4NxI
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAWx338rr1Um
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAVpO4knNECk
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHZZLWG33Lo
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANALW93iOTze3
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPa8eyQc3l9
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAt3M524slhN
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhIGKkMJpW1
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPpvAeyHzs8
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA0rVckB51P3
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAAgAwhmEod5
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAiSpdgCQh8e
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANALlMl7AOMUk
Yes, she was getting hurt.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA37Q8GW92td
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANArjqeO1nErG
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
201Please respect copyright.PENANABpkBCKPC8Q
This couldn’t go on.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAFK9RVVOLNu
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbwVv9EN7Zj
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4Ag7QcZrK
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAw8cMQPDRpT
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbRQuaR0v4p
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAX1nug11wAq
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAWcNAOCzYRk
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA9bTgQupD2Y
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5S324FZgxZ
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAGFaXWpkkS0
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
201Please respect copyright.PENANATtHG9LFwP8
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1sGE0HWQp2
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJRwnwTGsLl
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAByvqFJ4vzA
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1anb2tlJem
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAxolR4sOmlG
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
201Please respect copyright.PENANATjHku4t6WS
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAwc1eUF5XXx
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAGNrkBAseGz
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANASTN9nDMIz8
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAsP85Bikjof
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA4RjelnaMOd
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA7lHpMGbLFs
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAGIghQXEzJV
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA3zIKYIRGLs
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMzACtELWaN
Valkyrie: “Family.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAZF7t3q90RW
Wrong answer.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA4BsyGJyjAC
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJlPh66cEnP
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAH9mbPKpwTs
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAtrlN3MVFjo
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mih2RWE4J
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmpIp0sV6kG
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXEhdYpxv2L
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA712HeUpWfH
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMpgTNTFGzh
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAKh0Fw3nKhx
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPObv9Jc7B8
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANASIFhOZbCmH
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAkMC6nFBlI5
All eyes return to the fading boy.
201Please respect copyright.PENANADvQOrYuHYs
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAayPLbCSajc
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAu6ShkPxYsw
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
201Please respect copyright.PENANArNWfv7TWVt
Tatsumaki: “How?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAH1no8ozBnF
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmhD6J6ybUB
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXU6orPy3Ga
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAitlqvGNwPq
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
201Please respect copyright.PENANArli2957bsx
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5WQSh82fIs
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXYxQTWAMW7
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAo4ggm6oMt0
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAcK73Tn1BqV
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
201Please respect copyright.PENANArPFUTdHhHh
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAvUCynEFphW
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAj3saAgKPUR
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAohkDOaj9ID
She took a moment before nodding.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2iFmBk3CL
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAoMdLfbAtNO
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAlA0SBakny8
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhODQouJqA8
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAkzv0g1Tqv3
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAN0MZNQvK8J
Fubuki: “Of course.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANADPtaSpqeK9
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA2NVu3k47hq
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%”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAC35ZZM8866
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA0YuulsLVX5
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXVtV8a5PPV
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPtKzhdoVuq
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAL8IkC4d60F
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA863Hh8YVpH
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANADAK4CzTiAF
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAFJIDiibOoJ
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANANxn3AmKYIA
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXBpgyqg2TU
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA3bA7UAEsDb
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANArFKwua5Rb6
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA8AjIXp2TMd
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmEZI5uPwfo
201Please respect copyright.PENANAgzdn8EHYfG
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5camS5atzH
201Please respect copyright.PENANA4lZfaBSipv
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAlrmCbBZQk0
201Please respect copyright.PENANANlASU8eihQ
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANALNLxTZY1GH
201Please respect copyright.PENANAtNEjg9i4VK
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAwijM49zu5q
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdIcOxtdRee
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzqj8Q0CnjZ
201Please respect copyright.PENANAH8AY3g1C08
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.

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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANApzRAZ8SJJe
201Please respect copyright.PENANAX3zom3cVpG
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAyWmyenvLCt
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMfOuoUGPxi
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAclxRWcOIQB
201Please respect copyright.PENANA0ETrBoAGCh
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPG2B1p5ZxC
201Please respect copyright.PENANAixlbkXbg44
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAyAohx41aRr
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXwxE2WqPMI
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAKWZjuZP6J7
201Please respect copyright.PENANAsxdmIiNpod
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
201Please respect copyright.PENANAVDCobNTYeU
201Please respect copyright.PENANAt6xnfFFlnO
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAWTylSI9hfF
201Please respect copyright.PENANA0Auk3q3ZQ5
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
201Please respect copyright.PENANAjvYjbvoNSV
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5LJ9EPnlvD
Something answered.
201Please respect copyright.PENANApm2WFyE1hU
201Please respect copyright.PENANAgFqQbl1MZT
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdmyuVLfwnO
201Please respect copyright.PENANA9f6Rl8kZlN
Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMAjP0TV2fT
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPB63M5RCym
Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAktfcRoJo9Q
201Please respect copyright.PENANAfjpXe5Uz8z
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAUNOiv1VGMc
201Please respect copyright.PENANAflD42VTajX
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzgZ38B72pb
201Please respect copyright.PENANAVwiBchaRIw
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAx6yxNSrNR0
201Please respect copyright.PENANA2ERNqgz3iZ
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAjkwXsrlDEH
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzNSnzmtPVq
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAj40gn5A630
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbW7OifPTqI
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?"
201Please respect copyright.PENANA8nBS1ExWPV
201Please respect copyright.PENANA9mMj7jY5fA
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAE9wNZLCVLM
201Please respect copyright.PENANAKZMgh6doD7
Izuku: "Ten years..."
201Please respect copyright.PENANARyDGUHcHxS
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPpIKKgvF7w
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAtZN6sO4QaD
201Please respect copyright.PENANA82EWkXIwXF
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1dZgE74tmp
201Please respect copyright.PENANAP9hcpHYPoC
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
201Please respect copyright.PENANATTYi3xVaja
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhk3jf3Mxv9
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
201Please respect copyright.PENANABiT61fQwPX
201Please respect copyright.PENANAoQdSFTPJQy
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMjlQLQFRFY
201Please respect copyright.PENANA16KcUpIgrD
The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbgANoUH37t
201Please respect copyright.PENANABUpuctzCdi
Izuku: "You must have been so lonely."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAWSbR1JqF6o
201Please respect copyright.PENANAfTfaPg0dLB
Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
201Please respect copyright.PENANASrA4MuYk8J
201Please respect copyright.PENANA85Yb48EMRY
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANADZjnud8vhp
201Please respect copyright.PENANArUWsghtQHG
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANA0ANonz7vKf
201Please respect copyright.PENANABkwgni6cVs
Izuku: "I guess… that makes you my little sister?”

Tatsumaki: “Okay, that’s it.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAZG79lZCAMA

201Please respect copyright.PENANAZTTkc3bAco

Izuku: “Is it that bad?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAUQIDALir01
201Please respect copyright.PENANAekwCQobnty
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzHM0fnsf8R
201Please respect copyright.PENANA0aNnvEcMw8
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…
201Please respect copyright.PENANAfyRIW0Gve1
201Please respect copyright.PENANAwzfP6FBqn6
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbMFyvC9MZD

Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.

Tatsumaki: “This is getting us nowhere.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAoAJAZ549gf

She lets the two down but her glare makes sure they don’t go holding onto each other.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMBAJS1xK9Q

Tatsumaki: “Where do you live Valkyrie?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAAtD9ev20WP

201Please respect copyright.PENANAgcm0XOSt9c

201Please respect copyright.PENANADhctfyBdHL
201Please respect copyright.PENANAUAzpKlgkRw
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAMVBMfwdoSI

‘This is just the first step. You’ll be replaced. You’ll be left behind.’
201Please respect copyright.PENANAErMxRAebW0

201Please respect copyright.PENANAxEIbdtma0r
201Please respect copyright.PENANAofHXNuK5QP
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.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAFi2GZYrFk0
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzjPh6AQ3c7
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
201Please respect copyright.PENANA8ADELOsKez
201Please respect copyright.PENANAsQlljz9tMl
Tatsumaki’s cold stare shut down any more ideas for experimentation.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAwalJsTE77n
201Please respect copyright.PENANAIacJBzREvR
Nezu: “Nevermind.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAA9Ik3eF5EQ

Izuku got up and bowed to the principal.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAX7GVgDicZq

Nezu: "It's quite alright young man."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAaCsMdfo4EA

Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAToesxjfxPU
201Please respect copyright.PENANAA79IKQrQvK
Nezu: “Sadly, we're out of time today. But you'll still have Toshinori to train you today.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAqvUqecsdDW
201Please respect copyright.PENANAFZKgr3dbVg
Fubuki: “Maybe we should train him today instead.”

201Please respect copyright.PENANAda1qS5CTEt
201Please respect copyright.PENANA25ImyqxfGu
Nezu: “Hmmmm, in that form you don’t look like the famous vigilante. Perhaps…you can apply to U.A alongside Midoriya.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAxHnMe1s1mB
201Please respect copyright.PENANAsGs3TvksaD
All Might: “That’s an excellent idea. Her experience in the field could even rub off on her fellow students.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAUVL4neyN2e
201Please respect copyright.PENANA4Cac1OStw1
All Might: ‘And she’ll become a licensed hero, instead of staying a Vigilante.’
201Please respect copyright.PENANAoYj3uRCKPL

Tatsumaki: “She could protect Izuku better that way too.”

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAFT2tPiCLVg
201Please respect copyright.PENANAd6rjjzQ9Fe
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.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAoSDSQQkG5t
201Please respect copyright.PENANAOYVeEnztp5
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAX6LNzU5jkJ
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdTK4wZnK3S
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."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAyDJQzVYkAG
201Please respect copyright.PENANAFzBkEbkvTo
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAB5NUrsagDo
201Please respect copyright.PENANAruePlNXopP
Izuku: "I will! Thank you for the advice, principal!"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAff0rcSg52h

201Please respect copyright.PENANAu6S9U4lhmH
201Please respect copyright.PENANASNVzR6BsSQ
He turned to the man in question as Izuku went scarlet.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPBn8gLd09Z
201Please respect copyright.PENANA77EsM04p8w
Nezu: "Speaking of, you intend to pass One For All to him, don't you?"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAsRq8FKksek
201Please respect copyright.PENANA8GZZQQmrWa
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."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAnVWhkfLBla
201Please respect copyright.PENANA3tccjAOIIf
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."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAjhAXs21f0k
201Please respect copyright.PENANABD4nkp93su
Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAU4XrRok2Sy
201Please respect copyright.PENANAWKly3fTfoj
Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
201Please respect copyright.PENANACCqnBteNh6
201Please respect copyright.PENANAjHXBBFtbDw
Nezu: "Remind me again of the story your master told you? Of what happened to her when she first gained One For All."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAP6nEw2RGPr
201Please respect copyright.PENANAd0yGx6JsyX
All Might: "Master? Uh… If I recall, the first time she tried to use Float after she got One For All, she…"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAITO6u8GZae
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdqTaozkIPv
He blanched, finally remembering.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAEMfeJLR77S

All Might: "She…She…flew headfirst into a wall."
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5mDfB2brd2
201Please respect copyright.PENANA1GL6Sdd9qs
The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAiH1bhfm0Cr
201Please respect copyright.PENANAT3sEonPlk9
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?"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAtIBtXfUGI8
201Please respect copyright.PENANApD9LXNawYP
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAypVLBVraMu
201Please respect copyright.PENANARoEBWiKlBS
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAP7U0aOTc58
201Please respect copyright.PENANAz7PIANizM2
All Might: “It was a long time ago!”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAyZe0cYT3nv
201Please respect copyright.PENANAal1sgsOWRU
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHoKLyeIR7i
201Please respect copyright.PENANAAOn04u5grc
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."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPlrI4aDzI4
201Please respect copyright.PENANAB4OcUeM1Pq
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"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAK5CrRAToMt
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhj0C9z4QMt
The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPTeEH2MxzD
201Please respect copyright.PENANAedSrA18zOU
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."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAEl996WDQB6
201Please respect copyright.PENANAAZIRildjeb
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."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAi3uO3MGHYT
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzvfu9Sjtjc
All Might: "He would far surpass me. He could be the greatest symbol this world has ever seen! Greater than me!"
201Please respect copyright.PENANApMcH3WEnbL
201Please respect copyright.PENANAqML2C9oF8V
Fubuki: “But that’s only if he can control it. It’s too dangerous.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhvOj7n6wLc
201Please respect copyright.PENANAP0ICxDxscF
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."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAJFOdeML58A
201Please respect copyright.PENANADP9sNNLJkr
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAtYU98WUaCH
201Please respect copyright.PENANAfsTJeBzBLW
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."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHWyGg4ud4Y
201Please respect copyright.PENANAVlEY1t0W4m
All Might was looking even more deflated than usual. Chiyo spoke up, finally deciding to speak.

Recovery Girl: "And the doomsday scenario…we already got a taste of that. Imagine that but-"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAKcHqOOGz4G

Tatsumaki: “We get it! No One For All.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAX9lcx8BP3z
201Please respect copyright.PENANAhW2T466TVL
All Might: “You're all right. It was foolish of me to consider this course of action.”
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbtb8kEa6CD
201Please respect copyright.PENANALUzGOyfaqJ
Nezu: "I'm sorry Toshinori. I know how extremely happy you were to have found your successor."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAe0P3gVaCxB
201Please respect copyright.PENANAEiHvvLJd2F
Izuku had stayed silent as they spoke, and for once, it was him putting his hand on All Might's shoulder.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAIOVXjHdA2U
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXW1uwRnORI
Izuku: "I'm sorry All Might. Looks like I messed things up already."
201Please respect copyright.PENANAoHJq2qWIYk
201Please respect copyright.PENANAWhBTiQQbaw
Toshinori smiled before bulking up.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmc9zZ4ywHG
201Please respect copyright.PENANAfiailVT441
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!"
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbwrJXCPoeU
201Please respect copyright.PENANAsYK3gKYypQ
He started laughing a little boisterously.
201Please respect copyright.PENANAfNhwQpWe87
201Please respect copyright.PENANAh8GIDadMkY
All Might: "I guess this does mean we can cut the physical training out of our schedule though."
201Please respect copyright.PENANABrrsjyreNL
