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.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.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KN8owEThJ
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuMmYvKZ2B
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

Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAjP0TV2fT

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

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

The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgANoUH37t

Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrA4MuYk8J

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.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

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

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

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.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.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

Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”

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

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

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."

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-"

Tatsumaki: “We get it! No One For All.”

All Might: “You're all right. It was foolish of me to consider this course of action.”

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

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.

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.
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."

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!"
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XBcpaE9ZJ
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv05vPhwWpQ
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?"

201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yMvXShbg4
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.

All Might: "I don't think your Quirk counts as just one trick, but it is up to you."

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."

Izuku was at first surprised but instead smiled. The memory of his talk with the being within his mind returns.
