Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mb0D7NH96
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGe0AAqOai
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCvM1jW6IQ
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9AvisvWcF
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybLBIY91c0
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXB5P7GWrw
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMtTME8zf3
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjlrcDUpQk
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvnDan7de9
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…
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9BFvrN3ud
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglTH8Q0dnV
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc3hM7FWpv
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dwDLQH1ff
It’s everywhere.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJAUAjG2E7
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz7JLbfbim
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeryuTXLArl
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVY1RwWXfN
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplTtoMpHO1
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaWYfk3yFV
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQZK3pRTNN
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b67WI6Vb6
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CZbHdqSQ8
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCIZcPPcOK
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcR1H1znyE
“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.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfqChLs2Xy
Izuku: “To do what?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgP8GBH7EM
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvICxVZ1maY
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdVnJ1EQOc
But one thing keeps him grounded.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXISyT7X0TY
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.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomypNSj71d
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8WE55CQrv
“I knew I chose well.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcSNw55MHa
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMYxF0AMX7
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNAJo20Ooh
“You’re waking up.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnxTs8ikjm
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0WubYYYtM
“That, I have no doubt.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyWhgaoUWF
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRTIVCp9g5
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTaP4rm5Ny
“…My name is-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDSa4xV9TR
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2t3MP5MXv
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcJ7E37mqd
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBndEFgFlZ
A lap pillow.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxfOIlIgtz
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWBQu8hWtF
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXKAR0U3vx
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uc0QJ1ZVf
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhVGY2pMmK
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuSK3XG8JJ
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtISI1EizA7
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TtJ1EbO43
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KXWSK7dQc
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oeXjwaXGR
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU8ka5lTcK
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZBPyIEnGE
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUedP75Xu7
Izuku: “Ow.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtZMu0DzWu
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkWtxpkeiG
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTngcIQR7RI
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPYBXTIYCu
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55AHAu4OFR
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmNxWiiEMG
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXIEcPyexr
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqka71k5AQ
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cWUYEHqfq
Izuku: “Yes!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH7Mrbml7k
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUthmhTZl9
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObtClB7l3z
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEhBkRPotY
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZB5ztJckc
The place looked like a warzone!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ077iWsePZ7
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyYypBs2sA
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt5k5hXWBl
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxiiQpHrex
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h3Ls7YPHj
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1yOifIpkE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjdWKnjlT3
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAt0Eo6WbK
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpgSyAAkvX
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSWqRov7oI
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwJaNN8O2T
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtRsJO6zWH
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHyQDiklar
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR6UN90bVL
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFOEmE8XqY
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbICZhFGS5N
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tCLnCOjX7
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvlu7YwPWI
No.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQrjYFZtpL
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Su9rcUV4r
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzutowrMQV7
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHQ075hbFd
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeRGnUjdUH
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUsbwiqZ6w
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAor46eqjh
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-
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p6OJ4c9qq
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOMcJ4FE4A
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSZNInwcc7
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsX5yo3rtF
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzUwYDU9OV
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q1p5uLoJh
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoeRxfw5LO
Valkyrie: “I-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9aT1pkQoK
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt7a89i97W
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0DzzVVzbq
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiY0oDJhu9
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9pK29OZ2J
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gyJkojonH
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP8FZIbtHo
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq9KfhEW9H
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWRq7rn3xH
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFcmHTeMdG
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8gcRXG4tZ
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbeRIH8eDZ
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodoKt9SuZb
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlozJN8zTd
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBveGnK5ov
Yes, she was getting hurt.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT1rfDDR1n
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjfQ1jmd8l
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaKStfcyEu
This couldn’t go on.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc83VBpLefL
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1791fDaJ9N
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHccnUcegzg
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAKWcEULAZ
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau8ccBqpl7
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMhYquEK5u
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHKlwooZTH
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxIqqdMpZ9
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A6BS7a3EA
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XblpUU5SA
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX5qsAtnnR
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TrTfPhUba
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlCwzOT99a
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wguqifNv2
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBh4fWC1kJ
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMtFeJUx74
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXATWztllNb
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7XKLLVlry
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJZxJFEiF1
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7xvCjLusC
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeeTfG4V2z
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT8tm2KLGG
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1yy42bM4z
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoP1UzLEOW
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V7pm9Lscb
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAKAHO4nB5
Valkyrie: “Family.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDebakzrcEO
Wrong answer.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYvCWYg5dV
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfZs1VFUCm
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1GiP711hO
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0wmsX2px2
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNFcJ6S9Zg
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbagiwDDfL
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjszDntQyr
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzdIlrIT0l
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VGqbcb0eA
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BojMwlESQ
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHHprR3Wdg
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYu1R16Sr2
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObG4vAbQVI
All eyes return to the fading boy.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kjtM2eWkK
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPax6nnYndc
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvti1aiWX4w
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3Skht1sNp
Tatsumaki: “How?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7UmCawbkC
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbGHV9qTH7
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM0cweR7pB
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dFDYJeL6B
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Pi9PTAnh
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1KsOtUCRD
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiic1zL8TVI
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudGbiy3GUK
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQau2qcoWlz
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobd1WkGFiF
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb7xX1i4Fx
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eXSvupRjC
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgncK9R8yP6
She took a moment before nodding.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdRFix7LML
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD1Q73BJCh
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEI0r8fPMZ
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nJQMaOGu6
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV69DLUmqBR
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanclUX4w1K
Fubuki: “Of course.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOtFWF9ZB3
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdrFzgGn1k
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%”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BvZONJOay
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaGbhj8AL7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqIaJdo3qd
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pP9AkJwn8
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9M2hcHFfT
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTipIE2ksIF
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8t0QPP7ip
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvaRwEbXsZ
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0imq0nCcM
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegBKP3aWd6
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqbbJcgn2t
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XF15itDuG
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYbQvRBURv
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw8lEqMpVc
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN38VjINpY
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq4ZKIPujT
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv6DyBbeAU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHuwV6z6lS
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbndwp2mCf
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ353hUf36AO
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmYCjCQiAg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOStWRK2J2n
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDi7X9VbMQ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJE6EDJ2VN
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirF7J1i5gu
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61Nw250Kzr
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce8sxGqlTb
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJvWq780eC
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQMCc7hHcm
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZMaLwHrNy
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefN5HAqrcB
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpRhsO1BxI
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3eUI7dQWb
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxNEKMWG5m
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL6o4dhVBv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZACYIfxRZ
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMtYe1e8NL
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr26a4WpUO0
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfIJSRSd6Z
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzaBl2ZIpC
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGLLbcJfXZ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglMzstrXxP
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaKXAsevP3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCcMgTZJkR
Something answered.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXvnOZvBgC
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8xgQopu0Q
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jedc9Q3gh
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecgJU1aakU
Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPngkzLIhq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk59qj7RHN
Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yg93zbBpm
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pVbZ2DLyT
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX19BA6VmI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxwIgEpcNr
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlJ1bjfmMJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDK8D8zNUP
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi34sFGrXUn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpmB25QWPg
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKob2ko6u3q
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmikkc4QZwK
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfsfjcUT8Y
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurnt5EhbA1
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?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw66lXV8MbE
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf39oNPDGE
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb8s4Tyc88
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJs37OjJaG
Izuku: "Ten years..."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprPkgt6iXe
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO1TUnUxI4
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yMEmDC2h3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBKN2kUR0L
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFkKDMrOzF
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhixNlQ0ANW
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe4XKU6duQ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeRFA6H2TO
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO47VXJXzWG
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0TMdaqZsD
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUc8A3iDGJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJgTbksk78
The boy whispered, feeling a strange sense of guilt even though it wasn't his fault.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO9qDKPwLi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbLVsgCy7T
Izuku: "You must have been so lonely."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgUe70CAXv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaFM2Bw3do
Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWKkLC4d9f
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvgbsxalwi
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPWp7SHxCw
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfEbNPqXhf
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1SLbdFGX0

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Zgxyk6uW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB12kyYQSRM
Tatsumaki gently moved the two from each other with her powers.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HaxNK7hbq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J0M4dwEXD
Valkyrie: “Oneeeeee!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzA7VKEByy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AggQXClle
Valkyrie pouted at being separated from her big brother.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuO0mdsJe2

Fubuki: “What will mom think?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYFlBNTVk1

Izuku: “Is it that bad?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3qXjCiEmr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaDqBVTRBJ
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzVNuYTiyh
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zRhCW4CaH
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…
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc6I1de1qW
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6VnYYJSJN
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre1cZPRdH6
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLza6SOVG2X
Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj61HISuNZn
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtht9EPVJy
Izuku: “But we can’t abandon her!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F9y9BIrUb

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEYJ8aP1U5

She lets the two down but her glare makes sure they don’t go holding onto each other.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnJtL1v7Zz

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkHTvdEN8E

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZvKB2CfpU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqJC3CWeyf
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sUzIRtAxw
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMZecMcAFr
‘This is just the first step. You’ll be replaced. You’ll be left behind.’
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xZbUeJsJr

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxoJImTvhY
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aoaez1Et2
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpLyZlOCxU
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGwXSeXtyk
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDW3J3rsSF

Tatsumaki’s cold stare shut down any more ideas for experimentation.

Nezu: “Nevermind.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZTyuHyaPz

Izuku got up and bowed to the principal.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Gx2qAABF

Nezu: "It's quite alright young man."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Dcuw2sTO

Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz2MOvIDAJ
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoaVBZB8XF
Nezu: “Sadly, we're out of time today. But you'll still have Toshinori to train you today.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQswNeKI9f

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7koWQDkzs
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8AdycHRT6

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3fCH6k5s7
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINyJt3Ogvr

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSHkGjIs0v
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamzP0IeVR8
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.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQm4b0GNzq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8yidFd1wc
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP86w2bhISh
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdzVeix9lw
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVbsMHMB72
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGFI7HJfVj
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEggvrNQYoi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62n7K4UMfF
Izuku: "I will! Thank you for the advice, principal!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj4A5Izxtv
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs29EYurO50

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzwiKMehE3
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN1Px6i4Cg
He turned to the man in question as Izuku went scarlet.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULn0RSfRYF

Nezu: "Speaking of, you intend to pass One For All to him, don't you?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTulbIQq2kx
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYnOCRPxGD
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN6xXvkfBr
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz8SoarmXg
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUbTl2XYlR

Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv65O4fND8

Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaNSzsKZAy
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X9nJ7wGW0
Nezu: "Remind me again of the story your master told you? Of what happened to her when she first gained One For All."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUJYhRKX7U
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigJuj9kUs4

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9NKPp3OAa
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ9TrzqOUi
He blanched, finally remembering.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyyGdgOOpT

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBERvS3avq
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHmnt85ntU
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?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8LLGN35na
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa54QR27p5T
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXBrJZp1lI
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5cx0fSltA
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”

All Might: “It was a long time ago!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIWozBc0s5
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJKb1QCW0w
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSVVhLeZKi
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ajl9K2Fj
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc3xz2ksED
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjK4OmKqcf
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"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0ZFDD07sP

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbsd1swnL0
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82MLG1d1aN
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OsDoTaw5D
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U7jeZkDGP
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeNnhzIIAu
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMJdYjLx1O

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70fOtb6lxT
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WduRfbHJM
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4FkAColDj
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoUaNfKFZ7
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KMJMMnqty

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.

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.
