Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTXFFhkTkQ
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCsardbDOP
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBLGNNBwTu
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRodehr5rf
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYJCYsxQaj
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxIl20Agwn
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ21GQUYsyo
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwUivqoWkh
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKh1q44EZ9
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…
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTsCeNNZQv
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHYXrvRN82
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYjYXI4Xz9
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU68DqHZMaT
It’s everywhere.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyXHsf0fIt
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh1dQJQcpA
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby8faXuR5E
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyklc7rbzF
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVu3yglOHN
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHDNhSHu1C
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikoIjhOolL
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDHO4WIOl8
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2IOHN3FDx
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdQL5evhtG
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEql5zDt3rm
“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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh4fwwsaFr
Izuku: “To do what?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkONtxMK3P
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgJNfiJqXM
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IAqr83Tj3
But one thing keeps him grounded.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ5a6o1kGk
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyQx9ThjBQ
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmcU6LRR2h
“I knew I chose well.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDBFi10UHH
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBas4yy4mO
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXbmaFmZds
“You’re waking up.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd2UX47Puc
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMj0dV7rZW
“That, I have no doubt.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeExwPDV3XV
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP9reX51hJ
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuSyHkNUY3
“…My name is-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax0ze4eFZ1
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44Op5Axo5M
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP8OO9keIq
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7vKpRHEVz
A lap pillow.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd9fhw3USJ
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg55vPkBgKO
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCo4rt59Uk
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdPX4qTsCn
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKMo142gFN
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82muSBHgIi
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxn2OaZCsQ
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaYGjXpx70
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoYkr22JUN
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnja2R3MzCj
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MHZLTSBv9
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH8klAFOx0
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpjUMVXhz8
Izuku: “Ow.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJZjpCuu9J
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneBqTOcXZ4
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXJ3ryU9Bw
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RRz5b5Sss
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SIVrpa9iL
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg23qJ9kh0
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiluhKYOiM
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceezLkaSXF
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4loe7v13k
Izuku: “Yes!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwMIj3Zc3F
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAW9fDuPic
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpubu6dycO
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61iDGmf5EN
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBqgH8tQ1B
The place looked like a warzone!
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWT3Vro0nf
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJx0AvayBR
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlXUhTGW5r
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOlGxO8acg
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1NeQwcD7a
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81kSEsKCew
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI3RmPxpNG
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANojWSBOf8
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPUqu2Kitd
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNcIi7US9x
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiwDMMhPal
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEsrtF99Mi
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rsMx8zLlO
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QTH1Fg4fX
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgpwHPLN6B
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWlFvYtk5L
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD2n4aus95
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov69pZEWbf
No.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFnRQ40ZKi
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARPmDBMZhi
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy9ZPO3I8D
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuK0NqroJL
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hDyOR3BwD
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MvrXs2hL9
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xKIfkN4ar
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-
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjpt3ERgCv
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcbSpwgBhP
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBOBKpyOtG
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkCAHu27ph
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6xicnQIr6
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs1GwxDGNN
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cy6dZ4Smi
Valkyrie: “I-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAj3lS0vsU
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rh8ZLA1Yp
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWYMLuZL2W
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTEyx2C0SJ
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x5tPY5KID
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz6QoNmah2
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQLgLkjzx6
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1w2fiRuYW
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5JGL8XavG
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMB93kiNrG
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I2ld0hAr9
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVANl55w66K
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm01MHAIrrn
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp3pkKHpkD
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAxjZ8xd89
Yes, she was getting hurt.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr4HmWjbTO
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvn6tS6rir
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx63IfxEjBN
This couldn’t go on.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqB6Kt5d8o
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ZOJahyeR
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurFusf7CjR
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40UppMCNYj
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpG8M2HzNL
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDItAA8MjaP
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpBYEPeAct
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ42d3fhinJ
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaY4fMYYrw
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4mywmvmGV
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTRXE4I1nG
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjY5CSiVGj
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYEt3RRNPQ
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vty78VReO
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TUG1TTUQV
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0meyGdnxt
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrG8lsX3dQ
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKGDzs8Wgc
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCPY3Ef6f6
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoAAVpN5v0
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDFgx5wXL
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1flXp8VWy
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfOFp4eZzv
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mD9FqKg37
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp7x7hVJ3o
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO60aDlTyC
Valkyrie: “Family.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc5ws5xIMn
Wrong answer.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz8HkaP60L
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxOMXzGm6n
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJErfuodaSd
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSe7NAI2Lo
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoemNga6rK
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg2T9boOoE
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1izQG2KQII
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa3UbZZElq
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfQ0R9xAZ2
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKLwJsFAPi
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGipQI0q7U0
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9lAXzqfQx
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmha9ESaXS
All eyes return to the fading boy.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Q7pIR8SV
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3hkPGcaeR
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F08n5y135
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WV3I7mYGJ
Tatsumaki: “How?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJe61X7Eub
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmezZAjjHO
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMnsVXNSZQ
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGHYLpjynO
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAZFYyqBfq
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4zwgtGckc
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny3p05Ze3o
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCVWEb19lk
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnPxexppcb
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFqhTiF8FM
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJf7WvACuE
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xKzmM4tBV
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwCKPAjhlZ
She took a moment before nodding.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx27TfxyOMW
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w3r2f7w3m
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyIytzT7eN
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOf1GUKJ0b
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzU32CPjD4
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡProxtD9mKR
Fubuki: “Of course.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjTi7khrvX
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWVEQliXnA
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%”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIKTsOSayO
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC7JG6SbPh
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tqL8eYHur
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbHnfqlwZd
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykt63Ue5a9
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy4R98DwKh
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0dIp5rDht
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfi9Oxg4Ap
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDY16AVmDQ
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LGEUOd7in
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1N1ee9TwM
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4nyQMiys5
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqzTbO0DJT
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc0nnTJbWp
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3XEPCrBmr
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkj89Jr2SW
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOGOdHIoQT
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEL2F6yc3S
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOOshRi5be
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6yJrMTB1r
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweiOBmJ7iw
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYTcYeXeMd
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3y71bvWd8
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtB2IBALhr
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaOkJmRi8Y
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfRBCEddcD
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm78ZAT8Nd
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob2iuBeAjA
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYfFEunRBa
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Dv38xiCG
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CZudSz7ZJ
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rvtPb4ifh
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUspnnw4fE
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuIyaIaepL
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKXAY5h94o
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpvufpDUbQ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmmeRJzuTA
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxxzIM6bld
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirPQfT0imA
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNuxGp5nAJ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6KyK3XtOH
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LEXww8BZg
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32tNM8dyEm
Something answered.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp52LeZcRJH
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPn6q2s5lO
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ljy63Ats8

Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH8OLdBtHB

Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWVQRGI5uH
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9gwD4hBBW
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP0hNbt1s6
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ7OmtRYrh
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOWpqo4DD1
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4hj5tbe2V
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvVewgjxgE
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X7eIm2QJG
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KwQm915zc
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJgj9G23YX
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTXK09ztjT
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbHOr7QEfG
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?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBzdghkMgA
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23pUMTDq6M
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxpaO7F6wJ

Izuku: "Ten years..."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uhKz6ewwo
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiLcYZTd4F
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vu2n2pwDg
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BliIjCviw
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFoWhIrVmJ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAPEDZD9UT
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5fpXYEk3A
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM04HpIuEO
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCbYrRkXDe
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GsfPwDl2T
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoW7EHFGbi
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hX2PhuV3J
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAARrLtWXp

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUoqhzEKsm
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZKpNXHK0d
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PTwbsI1OK

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRnw2x8PDY
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFEmqCWuKe
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…
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj1j58Rbku
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqTwhM5LeV
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9wzeaq9O5

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiVNOuS5SE
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FxtFhQ27O
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDSsKxBmao
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yY2E3rv3s

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj977s8MAQe
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVe97KDBYu
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNVkvImLCV

Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNkabtnyEM
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAz7lzxFOn
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA35RUCfq6u
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySEKGqOn3E
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz781jbAyjp
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptVN8Se3zi
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCI4d1ho6p
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw4T7vQaZX
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."

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5qdzdHWVg
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbRvyDeKg5
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?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE7gmtU3wq
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6LOa0QYgT
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDnKPXuMml
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLIdS3axal
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS11U9JHQ30
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lS9F7zmr6

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwNXMy4EsG
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5icjtZ9vj
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf1wehMR22
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyMDfZnLbG
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."

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlUEo2Z1wB

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

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

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

He started laughing a little boisterously.

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

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