Today was the first day, the first step on the road to becoming a hero. Izuku and his idol All Might have met at the once beautiful beach. However, now it’s covered by trash and twisted metal.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh2gzfjkA8
Still, Izuku stands ready for his training, still somewhat in denial that this has all happened. Him with a quirk, a powerful quirk at that, and trained by his hero All Might.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU9qps5ZYn
All Might: “Are you ready Shonen?!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxZwXQjcdF
Izuku: “Yeah!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJDy3FykcO
All Might: “Excellent! But first, there was a topic we failed to discuss yesterday. And that is the ability you have that isn’t like the others.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NylnYzVlM
Izuku: "The fire, right? I haven't…really been able to use it since. I tried just a little at home."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlP6tisIYL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRF7XXXJ6u
All Might: "Dangerous, shonen. Try to save training with that side of your Quirk for outdoors.Now, can you describe your parent's Quirks for me again?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVYZQxZSUE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCctmiK69F
Izuku: "Well, mom already mentioned it to you, but she can pull things about as big as her purse to her. It takes multiple motions though. My dad…"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnohZGnULwV
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdP3Fpef3H
He looked down, remembering the few times he has dared ask about his father. The near instant anger from Tatsumaki and the sadness from his mother…was enough to stop further questions.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhZjM3mofx
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIjwhHKGvh
Izuku: "I…don’t know. Can we…not talk about it?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27EmgGdBAV
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTG0EFrEW4
He started to mumble, his volume decreasing as he remembers that his father seems to be a taboo subject.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCELzuAPBv
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8cnHfn3jL
All Might:"Hmmm…alright Shonen. We can leave that side of your quirk alone for now."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuUqziaFHS
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXvWtqahQn
With that settled, Izuku regained his composure and will to train.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dz86p7rNB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBltYHpUE6
Izuku: “Thank you, All Might.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMAv25uYu3
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMUOOzbGTf
All Might: “Think nothing of it. Now! Let’s start figuring out just what you're capable of, shonen, and worry about specifics later.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla2uRnpirP
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs14J1e72r
All Might: “We know you can lift small items and lift at least an average junior high student…so let's see what your limits are! Do you see that, shonen?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLRsH1lbNB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTHFALQUZz
All Might pointed off to the side where piles of junk were. Izuku turned and scanned the piles until he realized exactly what he was staring at. He’s eyes bulged out at the sight.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8T9kwXQrl
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFFFYQpDWB
Izuku: "IS THAT AN EIGHTEEN-WHEELER CAB?! HOW DID THAT GET THERE?!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhRu5ujTPk
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxoscKs86c
Indeed, the old big rig was practically buried about cabin deep in the junk, with its wheels sticking out at about a 30-degree angle. All Might's boisterous laugh sounded from behind him.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCqZGlNx7E
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVx1IWAPUX
All Might: "Yes, this beach is truly a shadow of its former self. Had we been strength training for One For All, that would have either been your graduation test or I would have been forced to move it myself."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6mdxWUxrk
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oAr8Ta0I9
He clapped a hand on Izuku's shoulder
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1SB3j0lpx
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy3rAVGFxX
All Might: "With your Telekinesis though…maybe it'll be a cinch! Go for it! You can do it!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWJcMiFFLU
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQRKl79rn5
Izuku took a couple deep breaths before clapping his face. All Might believed in him, so he couldn't fail here! He closed his eyes and dug deep for his power. When he opened them again, his irises were blazing emeralds.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcug5JJvcE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvc7PnOB5M
The green glow enveloped the rusting behemoth and Izuku tried to lift it straight up. There was a groaning noise as some junk shifted and slid off the pile. The sound of straining metal filled the air.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KUotphKVE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8icF7sIvRx
Izuku had already started sweating and his form was trembling. With a grimace, he threw his arm out as the green glow around him intensified. His arm was quivering like a leaf in a hurricane and he was letting out pained grunts.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3LhPrPqyh
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OQH121A7o
The big rig truck slowly lifted up, but Izuku seemed to lose the ability to breathe. Every muscle in his body was trembling and his face had turned bright red.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q7HKrsPu1
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpStqRKDuR
With a gasp, he let go, collapsing to the sand. The truck groaned and flexed dangerously as it settled back into its heap. He'd been able to lift it about two feet which wasn't enough to separate it from the rest of the trash.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7CXKpLYYH
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LPZ5IpjV6
It was honestly more than All Might had expected. But he'd certainly been unable to hold it in midair or move it at all. And even with just that, Izuku was panting like he'd been in a triathlon. With cinder blocks attached to his feet.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQywhPkL9vM
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFAnwa5ZOn
All Might: 'What an… amazing Quirk…I truly hadn't believed he'd be able to even budge it. He's had his Quirk for a day…Just what kind of potential does it have? Could he even surpass his sisters?'
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0hb5Py5fp
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2kCuCEicx
The possibilities were almost endless and most of them were good for the world. All Might slowly grinned even wider than his Symbol of Peace grin.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnSoc4vQRY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNHVjZP0dp
All Might: "That… that was quite a show, shonen."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ec4jqeeQ4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINYdkHSTwy
Izuku: "I couldn't do it…"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0npP8CIoH
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrYEecFT3G
He moaned, and clutched at his head.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp14bLAwJd
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiswMQU1OJ
Izuku: "And I have a headache now. Sorry for disappointing you, All Might…"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxWYZHnbFO
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQp7N4bZpw
All Might: "Disappointed?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNEonZGEw9
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhieMC2aFS
All Might's head snapped to him in shock and thought-
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsrCLkm8fP
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAGS8zmENf
All Might: 'Just what has this poor boy gone through to give him self-esteem issues thisbad?'
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqF4Kw1dbz
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYT6DfsKlj
All Might: "Shonen, I'm as far from disappointed as I could possibly be. I intended for that to be an impossible task…a goal for you to work towards if your Quirk was the type to grow in strength.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaqYnaA9bN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT98Ch0jtd
All Might: “There are some with harder limits that can't be overcome. That was supposed to be your motivation and instead you blew me out of the water!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKCl2ohLB9
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzFvX9zB9d
He smiled at the stunned boy and ruffled his hair.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjrpr6HSVJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFnbbotxyc
All Might: "I now have to wonder…were you unable to lift it fully because you believed that it was too heavy…or were you unable to lift it because your Quirk is still in its untrained, fledgling state?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQlQRhXkud
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0kwPXh2uS
All Might: ‘Either answer to that question is… a little scary. Thank goodness he isn’t as quick to anger as the eldest Midoriya.’
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTDgGRHAEX
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFOaLOk0Br
Miles away a certain green haired women sneezed a few poor villains into a building.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9kbkUm9VZ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq52C1uUks
All Might: "Quite frankly, if it weren't for the fact that I already know you don't have a villainous bone in your body, I would be terrified of your potential."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHwvnejmfI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHO2TEk3og
Izuku was mute, blushing madly at the praise. His breathing had returned to normal though his heart was still hammering. His head was still a bit achy too.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUc7pstZVs
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CP88v7AUX
All Might allowed himself to revert and relax.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88EdQOh0K5
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhhMSWGy50
All Might: "Truly, it was a sight to see. Now, let's keep at it. Clearly a couple tons of eighteen-wheeler is too much right now. Let's try some lighter things and try to see if you can do multiple objects at a time."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveV7AzHBbm
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf1TxSYePJ
Energy restored from the praise, Izuku got off his knees and beamed, ready for the rest of the training.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gpKNN4RL7
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNsCX0UhZS
Izuku: "Yes sir!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96AMpTiguE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUyPzuYlVA
It wasn't working.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwUqlvPEfw
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyOIgmdzYp
Months had passed since then, and yet Valkyrie still wasn't sure what to do. Ever since Izuku awoke his power, she had argued with herself on what was the best course of action. Even questioning her own existence more than usual.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95H9uR2gGH
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5LodgwV7S
Every now and then ,between her patrolling, she went back to Izuku's mind for rest and observed his training. Each time becoming more proud of her onii-chan, yet still feeling worried. His ability with his quirk is steady increasing thanks to All Might and her onee-chan’s training.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtHNjdiOLK
Her own power seemed to have increased alongside his but that fact doesn’t offer her comfort.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe5QfhrpOp
When he eventually reaches a state where he can inherit One For All, what need will he have for her? With power like that, he would eventually achieve his dream of becoming a hero. He wouldn't need her anymore, would he?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ4v94tnuf
The more she thought about it, the more her phantom heart ached with sadness. Why did she have to feel this way…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3VfxyZkQu
Shouldn't she be happy that Izuku finally got a chance to be a hero?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv0k5WGst1
She'd faced some of the strongest and deadliest Villains and quirk beasts without even batting an eye.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtZbyeQ96O
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvlNpW0iV2
But why…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC2mIWulSS
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrLMEqTZzb
Why was it that she felt so much fear and pain at being unneeded by her dear brother?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu4dVCH848
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLq4901SFK
Her entire purpose for existing was to be a hero, but she was now unsure if she still had a reason to exist with Izuku's nearing inheritance of One For All. He could go and…be a hero himself...
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lodiA4Jd0
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2donGJE5M
Valkyrie looked to the faraway mountains, a sudden thought occurring to her. Maybe she should seek out advice from a friend instead of tackling the situation all by herself. She should have thought of that earlier!

A new day, another grueling session of training. At least it’s All Might today.
Tatsumaki can be even more hard on him than All Might sometimes. But thanks to that tough love, his power has increased greatly.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAVJknSLed
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTGdHYn95w
Izuku still hadn't managed to lift the truck cab with the same ease that he could lift something smaller, but he could now hold it above the rest of the trash for a couple minutes before the mental strain got to him.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniI9i3P26E
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA5rIuBkod
All Might had forbidden him from moving it off the beach unless he could do it in one motion. In fact, he'd been told that if it touched any part of the beach, another trash heap, or fell, he would personally move it right back.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSsnyuwd7o
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0MzTPOI3f
Izuku hadn't made much progress actually cleaning the beach yet. Mostly he'd been able to move smaller items like chairs and tires with his powers easily. Items like fridges still tire him out after about two hours at best.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz8JGjykMR
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaUrjQbjlW
In addition, All Might had finally started his strength training while Tatsumaki and Fubuki help him better his technique.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GQB5jW8Kt
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXh7QUghhJ
They still had no success with any fire. Fubuki forbade him from damaging himself on purpose to test the fire ability. Speaking of Fubuki…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINh7gtrzmx
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgn3Kga1Fs
She was a great help when testing out the flexibility of his power. But every time he makes progress she seems…sad for some reason. All Might and Tastumaki are always praising his progress so Fubuki’s attitude stood out.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdqaBRmwaG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U2A7DrTeO
Despite that, Izuku didn’t let it bother him. She trusted his beloved sister with his life.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw73tkV8OA
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTFkAXMWRb
With that in mind, Izuku walked out of his house at about five AM to get to the beach for his training, only to jerk to a stop as he realized Toshinori was already outside and waiting for him.

In a car.

A very fancy car.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpY7SAZvBg
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlms9trKBmU
All Might: "Hop in, shonen! Today we're taking a trip. It took a while to set up around this time of the year, so I had to wait a bit longer than I wished."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5p4UKv4Ni
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuGYckLwgc
Izuku: "Where are we going and do my sisters know where you’re taking me?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrHTtxqBYQ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtklNP1FN9I
Izuku asked as he buckled in.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY9Ai5hj3U
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbheY9rDaHS
Izuku: "And for some reason I didn't think All Might would like fancy cars…" He mumbled out loud.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqjEDy2PCo
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnGvwa2S0G
All Might: "Bahaha! Shonen, I’m not crazy enough to hide this from your sisters. They know but for now, I’ll keep the place a secret. As for the car, Even if saving people is its own reward, the money does help occasionally. I normally don't drive at all, but as my health declined I've ended up doing it more often."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6DbUV8A8Y
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQjt9BaUzH
Izuku: “Okay, how long will it take to get there?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nyle1aaKL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTm71bK0zV
All Might: “A while, you can nap if you like. Were the final exams for the semester stressful?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0WMyegvvk
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxXVGDo8lJ
Izuku: "Yesss…"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig3UliHBgn
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyNyZ4uNNg
Izuku hissed out, recalling how the semester had ended. He stayed silent for a moment before answering.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlH4e7hnez
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOzP9LSqb7
Izuku: "All Might… was I… right to just ignore the other kids? To confront Kacchan?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKTGZn3K5q
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFvGIzGRB0
He asked timidly, as his mind drifted to the next time he had school after, the incident, as well as the days following it.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKuzDNJH2b
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkJmkaVdPp
Izuku couldn't help but shiver slightly, though he couldn't fathom why. The day had proceeded…fairly routinely actually. He hadn't said a word about his new Quirk, and clearly the news hadn't recorded his face or actions since no one had brought it up.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRhf06kpny
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTppJ7UiJV
As far as anyone knew, he was still just worthless little Deku. Even Kacchan hadn't said anything. Actually, he hadn't so much as acknowledged Izuku's existence. Hadn't even glancedin his direction, at all since the incident.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvehFoL0Mh4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2seGBTx0Ls
Maybe that was what was giving him this bad feeling. That was so unlike Kacchan. He was much more…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2mkHvbQSL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEjUrDHx1u
Explosive. Loud. Confrontational.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O0uy70Me9
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQT5mnSHb
Typical of his Quirk really.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlus2yG18YW
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHZQ2Hgp5U
He hadn't even raised his hand to answer a question today. When called, by either one of his hanger-on's or the teacher, he had been even nastier than usual. No small feat when his default seemed to be set to absolute cockiness.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1QB8vmEkd
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnIwi2baf2
The bell rang and Izuku hurried out the classroom, eager to get back to Dagobah and continue his training. Tatsumaki would be joining him today and he didn’t want to disappoint her by being late.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjvsECh0aN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQcIP2yWSA
However, his plan hit a little snag. Or maybe the snag hit him.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67z7jtnrGw
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oGsqZLfP6
Bakugo: "DEKU!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo2tQhoIK4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq30kA8cr3
He cringed as Katsuki's voice rang up behind him. He eyed his peers, some grinning maliciously, eager to see him get another beat down. Others just regarded him with pity in their eyes and turned away.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNLlDtbHnN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczzOFBQRyZ
He didn't even have time to say a word, as when he turned around Kacchan had already grabbed him by the lapels and slammed him into a locker. He let out a surprised grunt, though he wasn't yet in pain.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqARTdftiyj
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOPdFhIMHs
Bakugo: "You little bastard…What the fuck was that last Friday, Deku?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuHN2idj1q

Bakugo: "CUT THE CRAP, BASTARD!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UUa4IMStV
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0F0UBWggS
He roared in his face, spraying him with spit. At this point, the rest of the onlookers had realized this wasn't juststandard Katsuki. No, something had happened. Something which utterly infuriated him.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfslQwcC7n

Bakugo: "Has it been fun, you fucker? Has it been fun making me the butt of your joke for years?!"
Izuku: "J-j-j"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ70m6px4X
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSej5qskf8
First confusion. How could Bakugo possible think he would pull such a joke.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ApjOYcQpn
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z7yn5a9B7
Then astonishment. Bakugo really thinks Izuku thought he suffered though bullying and ridicule…for a joke.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGhErF5n71
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH2Tw7yGYy
Finally, rage. Red hot anger at the thought that Bakugo would dare think such a thing!
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNXzm0tIeB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpqAxPKtbo
Izuku: "Just what kind of TROLL LOGIC ARE YOU OPERATING ON, KACCHAN?!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxKqz4nVgM
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Elost20S
He shoved the boy back and Katsuki stumbled, a look of utter shock on his face at Izuku growing a spine. The murmurs around increased in volume,
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSeP7or8wM
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3KaBOP5en

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEBTQQ6i4M
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SMjK585qu
Rage began to cool as Izuku’s notorious crybaby nature was threatening to rear its head. Why couldn’t Bakugo be true friend to him.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vx4tko1gj
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyO70G7Z4X
Izuku: "You think I liked getting bullied by you!? By all of you?! Having my dreams stomped on and crushed? That I was just pretending and having a good laugh out of sight behind your back?!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb4lRzyG3f
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2e940gyIF
When the absurdity of Bakugo’s claims were said outloud, anger returned with a vengeance. It was even starting to literally waft off the boy. The rest of the students gasped as his hair started to wave and his signature green glow was starting to show.

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfZF1zuO5v
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDbFt6nODb
Izuku froze as he heard Katsuki's voice, even though his next words weren't spoken at all. 'You were a pebble! Just a pebble in my path! A nobody!'
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7PvZ5YDru
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sFCAkKnT3
Izuku: 'Pebble?'
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHhBgahzvS
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmthWZamwfo
Izuku thought to himself, ignoring his Quirk showing another facet to it for the moment.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNyHipAxEJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFUkg7bsAa
Izuku: 'Is that really all you saw me as?'
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa8ZcegS8D
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs1BgJkp2Y
His sadness grew as he came to terms with the fact that his former friend really had changed completely for the worse. Nothing remained about the cheerful, if somewhat mean, boy Izuku had befriended so long ago.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqmfpLqv9E
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnqBaUzSTp
And apparently all the praise heaped on him since early childhood had made him develop a full-blown superiority complex on top of all his other issues.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmr28xbNgS

Izuku: 'You need a wakeup call, Kacchan… and I'm not afraid of you anymore! I'll save you, even if it's you I need to save you from!'
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmsQi28JZE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmGqw6PmuH

Izuku: "KACCHAN!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXGu1fPuaP
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLToTQneQaH
Katsuki charged forward, his arm igniting in mini explosions building up in a crescendo. Izuku's green glow engulfed him, his eyes turning into pools of shimmering emerald and his hair whipping about.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdn89iHKm0
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWFKyyLfDi
Katsuki was picked up and thrown back into the lockers. He hit the metal and crushed it, a shockwave crumpling other lockers beside his impact zone.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw71nLL9beD
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7imJ7KFtbx
Even the tiles on the floor were cracked and broken. But that’s not all, Katsuki also lost control of his Quirk for a moment in his astonishment, and a massive explosion turned yet more lockers and even the wall behind him into rubble.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLHyF20dvF
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn8gbmI4r9
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOBKXNNvy0
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUHuuyjUr3
Their homeroom teacher was hurrying forward and pushing the other astonished kids aside. He skid to a halt and gaped at Izuku, who dropped his Quirk and reverted to stammering old Izuku, sweating up a storm. The teacher gaped at him in shock.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GD2fx0pAU
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjHd3aWFF9
"Was that a Quirk?! At your age?!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrjVMjAXzz

Izuku: "Err…Maybe?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXb8SFYNfB

He squeaked, the fading adrenaline leaving him cold and timid once more.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0UcW9tCAF
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9617lq6j1E
"That's amazing!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrpdZS2ii5
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxUmD6g3sz
The teacher gasped, before shaking himself and resuming his forced air of authority as he saw the damage.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3BFE8RUfj

"Bakugo! Midoriya! Principal's office! NOW!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5JBvLOO2S
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGr7l07f7N
Izuku hurried after the man as Katsuki stood, somewhat scuffed up but not really harmed. He was… a very durable young man. Even that hadn't really hurt him, though any other teen there would have had a couple broken bones at least.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZeT2glyMD
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmYfCHnQGk
His face was expressionless as he followed them, though if anyone else had been asked they would have claimed his face looked thunderous.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNewU7gAd55
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ytJUHpXPH
Deku hadn't just stood up to him… Hadn't finally grown a pair and fought back…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD9vCy7Q1l
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuALied51i
He'd drawn first blood.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcph4nwsHRV

The days following that, when they both returned from their week-long suspension, had been… confusing.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kRpPfXnm8
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtFTaI4Fng
Strange. Irritating.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm26S3IMyR3
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AltiShGS6
He expected Tatsumaki and Fubuki’s rage at Kacchan. The near bloodbath between Tatsu and Kacchan’s mother. It took All Might and Inko to calm them down. Despite the tension, it was expected and normal.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ67vnSdJIR
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIN77BBm1q
But what wasn’t was Kacchan’s reaction.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpq6QuYEkc
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96auxhub1p
Kacchan hadn't said a word, quite the opposite, the boy had been ignoring him entirely except for nasty glares.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJnnRbwYYv

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwmpUV8vIY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsAd5okVvI
The other kids though…they hadn't exactly been sweet and innocent either. The ones who had bullied him their entire lives…had immediately started trying to cozy up to him. Acting like they were friends. Praising his quirk…never him. Acting like…all the bullying had never happened.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI6GtKQKK2
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60QOoleFOF
Those who had just stood aside and let him get bullied were no better.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K47pplrwY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlV7sRnqZn
Really, hadn't he always wanted friends of his own? Hadn't he dreamed of a day where he would have a Quirk and would finally be accepted?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNUfcEr7Ow
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHVAvqckuW
And yet when he finally had it…he first got claustrophobic and then he got angry. How fake could they all possibly be? Not ONE of them had ever even apologized for all the snide remarks and insults.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSmTfpVp6J
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIuQYvYFZm
If he were Kacchan he would most definitely have told them all to fuck right off and told them exactly where they could shove their 'friendship.'
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSKdURPyhr
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumIt9QnbO4
But he wasn't Kacchan. He was Izuku.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFdOru25s4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sPXjITbeR
And he'd not accepted a single invite to hang out. Hadn't joined any groups…He kept them at arm's length at best. Shrugged off any friendly gestures. Spoke politely at some points, stuttered like normal at others…
Nothing had really changed, and this time it was because of him. And of course, his rejection had offended the little bastards, and it was right back to sneers and loneliness.

Toshinori thought to himself as they drove off.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dLLyWPAHG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk3xXQMHZW
All Might: "Can I say you were right? No I can't. No one can say that except for you, Izuku. What I can say is what those kids did to you wasn't right. And personally, I'm glad you didn't buy into their 'friendship.' People can be incredibly fake and the fact that not one of them apologized to you exemplifies that."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp199pw6JK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqiIgPXifs
He put a hand on Izuku's head and ruffled his hair.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHiErnLiPa
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtxhsBKvSW
All Might: "UA will be a new beginning for you, shonen. I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends once you make it in. Ones who like you for you and aren't just trying to be seen next to the 'next big Quirk.' You don't need any of those kids by your side."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCSyJ2BjiZ

Deep within the secret mountain base, alarms start to blare with deafening volume, indicating that someone or something had tripped the multiple perimeter defenses. Three sets of feet thundered down the hallway as they made their way to the control center, a woman already manning the console and flicking on several switches.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEBzUmlOGT
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F6YMEz8Wv
"What have we got?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQh0CbLQnu

The muscular man asked, hunching over the petite woman and eyeing the screens warily.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WIzl3PThj
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNeGgtDs3d
"Unknown bogey, approaching fast. Its tripped the laser defenses and is nearly here. This is no wild animal we're dealing with."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV6CYtZGjC

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsluCweDZD
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81jnj6rMMS
Another woman behind them cursed loudly, taking her position on another console as her fingers began flying over the keyboard in a series of rapid taps.

A third woman questioned, cycling through the different cameras.

"Medical supplies, rescue equipment? A lotta important stuff in here. Who knows, maybe they just have a grudge against us."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5PFTEgdCf

The man grumbled, already suiting up in his magnificent costume and preparing for battle.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsC1MXVRLq

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XYdipMayy
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrxrkDFzm9
The team of four hunkered down, each anticipating a massive impact against the near-impenetrable steel doors from the unknown… except absolutely nothing happened.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0kjBQSAvh

"Eh?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkEdY54B19

A small voice crackled over the intercom, soft and nearly inaudible.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBNiw23az7

Valkyrie: "Cat-lady? It's me, open the door please."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mf9c6X1u1
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhl0rIXb84
Four set of eyes peeked up at the main screen, and a muscular arm reached up onto the console to cycle through the cameras until they found the one that was situated at the main gate. The screen showed a young woman with pale white skin, standing before the doors and waiting for a reply.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdeG0kwhmy
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEshbz0lKsE
"Is that who I think it is?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpA8GCaWEa
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXJFkfEJKm
Valkyrie started knocking on the titanic mechanical doors, each knock shaking the entire building. Dust started to drift off the ceiling within the base as vibrations resonated through the building.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBTxEjesoc
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0AzdKbmn1
Boom, boom, boom.

Valkyrie: "Cat-lady~. Open the doo~r pleas~e."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuai8yRoCG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gFLt2h7As
The vigilante chanted in a sing-song voice, her expression still neutral.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QjFihhw6N
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM8OW66B37
Every eye in the room turned to one particular woman, who grimaced sheepishly.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSblRLOqRDF
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDVBUu0SVl
Well, you're the only one she responds to verbally, right? You talk to her.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU7Dm018MQ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WLNBw2AH3
Her teammates chided and pushed her into the main seat of the control room, giving her control over the communication systems.

"Testing- testing, is this thing on?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13WGd3l1eN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCbWwIKUDw
Valkyrie did seem to hear her for she looked around until she found a camera near the door, then gave it a nod.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwc9xNHab9
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynO9xLYm2d
Pixiebob: "Right. First of all, it's Pixiebob, not Cat-lady! You're making me sound like one of those old women who keep a dozen cats. Second, what are you doing here, Valkyrie?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZgGvF9YPs
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGUlII0BVL
Valkyrie: "I need help."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Em8VDgZc5
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqsDVSXItF
Her reply stunned the rest of the team: never had the strange vigilante ever asked for help, let alone approach them in the first place. This must have been something serious, the end of the world even. 2012 in real life bad.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGnUsReIPi
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELbMAC0ErM
Pixiebob: "Is it a disaster? Our emergency surveillance program hasn't picked up anything yet. Anyways, we're ready to roll in-"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCmOdIcF1q
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXJSAhOHIB
Valkyrie: "No villain. No disaster."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVVQC5jqN2

Pixiebob: "Huh? Then why'd you come here?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gg2JYLNd9
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkd6ATf716
Valkyrie: "I need help. You said to come to you if I needed help."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fOcWwYjZN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ldf6zx5tT
Pixiebob's three teammates shot her a look, which told her all that was needed to be said. The blonde woman groaned painfully, her head in her hands.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWwEouD6bi
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyvFJDCfqX
Pixiebob: "Okay, I did say that last time we met, but you can't just barge in here! This is a super-secret rescue base, you know."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OxWiMHy2l
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18c2PAlSgx
Valkyrie looked at the camera, then back to the supposedly impenetrable doors.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrmhasmbcv
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vwLJCjiLu
Valkyrie: "Open the door please."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77c35uCeAR
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZWlBRZdOm
Well, apparently she didn't care if it was the National Bank of Japan or a super-secret rescue base. The girl stubbornly knocked on the door again, a little harder this time. Small shock-waves reverberated through the structure with each knock, shaking the building's very foundations.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK70HePfd9N
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYfFtVV6ST
Pixiebob: "What if I can't open these doors for you? I mean, how did you find this place anyways? This is a classified location-"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xg1DS4pue
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhKrU5uyns
Valkyrie: "Open. Or I'll open them for you."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTuIwKR4fG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZcAdMKqwW
That got their alarms bells ringing. Those high security doors cost a fortune and from what they'd seen of Valkyrie, she could pretty much tear through them effortlessly if she really wanted to.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKT0Z89AiR
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp0vj2S4vS
Sighing, Pixiebob looked to her team for confirmation before reaching over to flick a switch.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ij20AFT4G
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ipBl5dwS
Pixiebob: "Fine. But only because I owe you, got it?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVBp9OzfQr
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh6IbAkSMq
The heavy, multi-ton doors started to slide open and Valkyrie strode in casually like she owned the place. Little did they know she could recognize certain emotional signatures of people she remembered, which was how she found them.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT9M93TCRD
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ97moJVcj
"Well, I suppose we should meet our guest. I'll go prepare some tea."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ve9HgRoLJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjkMz4UTSf
The muscular man announced curtly, starting to make his way to the kitchen. An awkward silence fell over the three women, two of them already waiting for an explanation.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96ukU5CHtL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcDiO0uWFS
"Y'know, when you said you can speak to the Valkyrie I thought you were joking. I mean, I've only heard rumors of her speech as an urban myth. So you guys are friends, huh? She's your pal, your chum?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAyervQhGG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Mwv2M2AF
The brunette teased.

Pixiebob: "It's not like that, Mandalay."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE9Dm0kkbH

She replied as the trio marched over to the main entrance to meet the vigilante.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE5QgJl0RD
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogmzHkFvph
Pixiebob: "We met during that big earthquake rescue a few months back and she uh, took a liking to me? I mean, I don't even know why. She helped me out a lot during the rescue and we worked well together. I told her to come to me if she needed any help, didn't expect her to bring that detail up now. Haven't seen her since. To be fair, I do owe her for the help."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIUzFnwpIZ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ4aVybqjc
Mandalay: "Hmmm. Gimme a little more detail. I need to know what we're dealing with just in case."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAwQsrPvbR
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJLvyhCGc9
Pixiebob: "She came across one of my earth beast puppets during the rescue effort. It scared a young boy nearby, and she started to tear it apart. She probably thought my earth beast was some sort of villainous minion and was trying to protect the kid. Took me a while to convince her I was here to help, but after that she helped me locate the remaining trapped civilians."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29pXYWtNJN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHbGXdKqqO
Mandalay: "Hmmm. Any thoughts on why she's here, Ragdoll?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxFBYvy7R3
Ragdoll: "No clue. My Search Quirk doesn't work on her, remember?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHwhaVcpTy

Mandalay groaned, rubbing her head.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8QgTN9RKY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCraZ5aImUm
Mandalay: "Perfect. An indestructible vigilante in our home that's immune to Quirks. Let's just hope she's peaceful."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fdxUiRmw0
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlARsUvnhCM
Pixiebob: "Don't worry, she only attacks villains. Or people and things she thinks are "evil"."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J5V2cVhLv
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsJGIATrrJ
The three women finally made it to the living room/main hall, where the vigilante was waiting. Their leader took a deep breath and stepped forward, looking to her teammates and sharing a nod.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4khOcoZyo
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazHb3gV6wB

All four members of the team announced simultaneously, the three women taking positions in fabulous poses in their cat-themed costumes while their fourth member was absent.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDDtzdXP3t
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcH8BklZxq
Valkyrie stared at them blankly, blinking a few times before answering.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZQEzBVbVa
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIWglSTltk
Valkyrie: "Hello."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0EYeQgav
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER3y5oLswd
Ragdoll: "It's our new intro! What do ya think, eh? Eh?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB1ys0ArCV
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMdaAKzyLV
Ragdoll grinned, even as the girl continued staring at her without a word.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEmLi4bPgo
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztwnnM9bOk
Ragdoll: "Tough crowd... she really does only respond verbally to certain people."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1BdKrYd3Q
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBwD91HlB4
Pixiebob: "Ahem. So, uh, Hi Valkyrie. What do you need help on?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzfBoLwGYt
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKvvEwcOhw
The vigilante paused, sniffing the air momentarily like she smelled something.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNWRYl2Uv8
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEVWR6ic0O
Valkyrie: "Personal advice."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4DYAhtWD1
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOARy1vLXJ
Mandalay groaned, while Ragdoll started to giggle uncontrollably.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXGnEocdWz
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeqeNyUFCf
Pixiebob: "You came all the way here into the mountains, activated every alarm on your way here, infiltrated our secret base, just so you could get some personal advice?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWOlszgxXw
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusVZq7URxB
Valkyrie nodded, then without warning started wandering towards the kitchen. A vague question of what she was doing crossed Pixiebob's mind but died on her lips when she realized Tiger, their fourth member, was still in the kitchen making tea.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEEXo3Ihvm
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDjRmXKBGu
Pixiebob: "I know you look like that naturally, but can you at least put on some clothes or something? There's a man in the kitchen."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgwFrWMoEx
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC5ac2igFc
The blonde remarked exasperatedly. Actually Tiger was a woman turned into a man via Quirk, but that was irrelevant now. Plus, it would help to train the clueless girl for future interactions. Pixiebob doubted that Valkyrie herself knew how many guys she was making hot and bothered with that alluring form of hers.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHXOOyqcb2
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33V4o0rU9q
The girl stopped and tilted her head in apparent curiosity, looking at Pixiebob with that same blank expression she always wore. She looked down at her own featureless body, then at Pixiebob. Or more specifically, Pixiebob's costume.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf153aMoRjZ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX3uwX2Giw
The older woman instantly got what she was thinking and covered herself with her hands, a scandalized look crossing her features.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5qh0YiP8o
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn9obuhWJG
Pixiebob: "I didn't mean mine! You can't have these, make some of your own!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8hXbgT8Em
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzQ2MyKKs1
Valkyrie tilted her head again, this time to express her confusion.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy90oDmqMx
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTMuAuDihO
Pixiebob: "Don't give me that look, I know you can shapeshift. I saw you change to a smaller size to rescue someone trapped in the debris. I also saw you blend into the crowd when we left by making some clothes of your own. Why don't you do that now?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BsrZv3a9C
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUfRVYBGmu
A moment passed and Valkyrie was suddenly clothed in a perfect copy of Pixiebob's costume, complete with cat ears, paws, and tail. The strange thing was, it looked better on her than it did on Pixiebob herself.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMmwfZUIkJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswyGxcodja
The sky-blue costume complimented her snow-white skin nicely. Mandalay and Ragdoll exchanged glances, then nodded in approval.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXbIxirWpi
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY171SgYvj
Pixiebob: "Wha- Hey, You can't wear that! Only official members of our team can wear that uniform, it's copyrighted! Change to something else."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gDSBXBw2X
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QUwqC8ttt
Pixiebob protested, slightly jealous of the other girl's youthful figure.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf83ILt8VV5
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW9pxdDygr
Valkyrie: "Okay, Cat-lady."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezDscm4qMt
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9jOdWRYoI
The moment those words left her mouth Valkyrie shrank right before their very eyes, now taking the form of a child in an oversized hoodie that stretched down to nearly touch her knees.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiYYtTTNnI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2FPzOBHY0
Her hair transformed to jet black, long locks shortening in the span of a few seconds. Her skin was no longer snow-white but instead a healthy, normal color. Light green pupils gazed at them passively, a surprisingly normal color considering that they used to be milky-white with a green glow.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn4x3wz5Op
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx9qmOyyEp
The women stared in silent fascination, until Ragdoll started squealing in excitement at the completed transformation.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHChLxDORUu
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd4Z9UxZKS
Ragdoll: "Ohmigod, she's so cuuuuuute!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaS5UZtbaN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32IUUBCZtn
She ran up to the now younger girl and started rubbing her head gently, cooing all the while.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgiGiIZmXy
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh40mVVZM1X
Ragdoll: "I didn't know she could do that!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfJrjHKF1a
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUT0ooThqc
Mandalay: "Me either. Careful Ragdoll, she just looks younger. For all we know you two could be the same age."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmJd4ZIdkt
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPMP7WAq3A
Ragdoll: "But look! Look at her cute little face! Tiny!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytFS3OCtzW
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iyEeJYOFp
Pixiebob: "I didn't mean-gah, nevermind. Why choose that ridiculous form?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSBesRqQBK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDClWY8Tg3
Valkyrie: "Why do you go on rescue missions dressed as a cat? Just as that form is comfortable for you, this form is comfortable for me."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb7F3sPFqo
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ3opQVY3t
The now miniature Valkyrie continued to wander past them and towards the kitchen, just as Tiger rounded the corner with a huge tea tray in his arms. He didn't see her due to their massive height difference, almost colliding with the girl until the last second.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f2M0Xs4Ia
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPgwr3yc4v
In his rush to avoid her, he dropped the tray. But he deftly caught it before it hit the ground in an impressive demonstration of his flexibility.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc9ASrUbIk
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNg0K6BlT3
Tiger: "What the- Who-"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fw9L2s0u3
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUC1t1atab
The heavyset man didn't get his answers as the tiny girl strolled past him, stopping momentarily to sniff at his tea before finally reaching the kitchen. There, she floated up onto the marble counter-top and reached for a large porcelain jar, opening it effortlessly and retrieving the hidden treasure within.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl3MfWcRKH
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf4edsLTLe
Without a word Valkyrie stuck her fingers into the jar and pulled out a small sugarcube, popping it into her mouth and chewing slowly. The Pussycats watched her from the kitchen entrance, bewildered.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0AI4Ei0jJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYaK7J49tv
Tiger: "Is that-”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuYRTTbDit
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5neYeumwof
Mandalay: "Yup."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF1KLdYHfw
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTOlh9G3ce
Tiger: "Why is she so...small?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrIqATDhrt
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdJ28Xjqpt
Mandalay: "Because Pixiebob told her to put on some clothes."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxFgWBfHWo
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75SqnNhgXh
Tiger: "What does that have to do with anything?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYRgTZKZOn
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEN9wH82Rq
Ragdoll: "More importantly, she's eating all my sugarcubes! She can’t do that!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTQe4oK2yG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBlLtvqc4y
She exclaims while shaking Mandalay back and forth.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGaQdlq0tS
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QiT949MGy
Mandalay: "Yeah, pretty rude. She's almost like an actual kid, if you think about it. Throwing a tantrum on our doorstep, eating our food...I wouldn't be surprised if she starts raiding our fridge next."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGvdH9xxE8
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvlQ6Emx1C
Ragdoll: "No, I mean she'll rot all her teeth if she eats that much sugar at one go!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM6nbcILTl
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPCXHZaJCb
After a few minutes of persuasion, the team managed to get everyone into the surprisingly spacious living room where they now sat in a rough circle on cushy-looking sofas. Valkyrie opted to sit on Pixiebob's lap with the jar still clutched tightly in her hands, occasionally reaching inside for another sugarcube.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQat5UZdLH
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR2aRQmiWE
Pixiebob: "Okay, we're all here. So, what’s the problem?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884kgiBrkO
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyHNOephUD
Instead of speaking, Valkyrie noticed Ragdoll poking at the her childish cheeks. Ragdoll laughed musically when Pixiebob shooed her away gently.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdiT4KTJJT
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBnvxd7R5l
Ragdoll: "Y'know Pixiebob, you kind of look like a mother when she's in your lap like that. Its adorable!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6pU9pW2ji
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKxMtVaEvG
Pixiebob flushed, her cheeks tinged red in embarrassment.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHT4iNnEdq
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOQRp0LNDr
Pixiebob: "T-that's not-"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUz4C9c3sB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWPorxt3hu
Before she could answer, the blonde found a sugarcube prodding gently at her mouth. Valkyrie held it in an angle, apparently trying to feed her.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEwId7pJsJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT1vdKMvUp
Pixiebob turned an even brighter shade of red, trying to remind herself that the child before her was much older than she looked (which unknown to them, was actually untrue).
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsSeZEAfdy
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdMDjbcr6b
Both Mandalay and Ragdoll smiled brightly at that, the latter even pulling out a camera from seemingly nowhere and taking a quick snapshot.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd1OGk6bd2
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR4PIIv6aL
Tiger just grinned slightly, content at the scene. Pixiebob eventually relented and popped the cube into her mouth, her face scrunching up as the sharp sweetness stung her taste buds.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhEmXL7JcI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8n11j88Je
Pixiebob: "Geh. I don't know how you can eat these."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oNObsY20y
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAzF6irx3G
She grimaced before reaching for a warm cup of tea to wash the taste down.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz9Zt31l2b
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLroX8cWdk
Pixiebob: "Okay, I ate it. Can you tell us what ‘personal advice’ you need?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3OaBJ6zbK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHrOnbcZ12
The girl thought for a moment on how to answer the question. She didn't feel like revealing the existence of her onii-chan…she had to call him something different.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXOCWJnZQv
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU63aUoCNzw
Valkyrie: "I'm scared that my Master doesn't want me anymore."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRWoo1Sd71
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfUdjUfSn3
Pixiebob spat out her tea in a spray of disbelief, coughing and sputtering while the other three Pussycats looked on with various stunned expressions.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSqpsE6kPB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnD4vwT63y
Pixiebob: "What?! Master? W-w-what do you mean by that?!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx9Dkb0obz
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEwaimGjLA
She couldn't believe it. Such a sweet, innocent, young girl was into such depraved play-wait a minute. This isn't her real form!
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6nEwNtvnd
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTKQkFWXQY
Valkyrie: "Master is master. I serve Master."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVDCSR5GmO
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdXOpqPHCf
Technically she wasn't lying. Izuku was her creator and she was his construct. Master and servant. She just preferred to think of him as a brother, as family.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTpqePtBqB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I8AkuqMvf
Valkyrie: "S-serve? You mean you do what he tells you?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrbcmm1qOe
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eg4T4FIVq
Valkyrie nodded, thinking of her first and only order.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOUQYoy8rD
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk4lMN7f6A
Be a Hero.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBE6NrmZOh
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGr4jKf9gq
One that she continued following to this day. All three women blushed fiercely, their imaginations already running wild with all sorts of unhealthy thoughts.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn01khOhk6T
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFBwASZlR5
Master and Servant play?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUlTds3AxE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oUElw5R5W
Oh boy.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxihmaiLpJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEGlpjc6kY
Tiger instead opted to down his tea, listening with renewed interest.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4kxCguNxY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxCNJgWl45
Pixiebob: "Um, ooooooookay. So, uh… why do you think he doesn't want you anymore?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZUxApTb17
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDJ1yfSoLL
It was hard for Pixiebob to understand why someone wouldn't want a shapeshifting, unstoppable metahuman at their every beck and call, especially one so cute by default. Maybe it was her lack of facial expressions. The girl clearly had emotions, but most likely had trouble expressing them.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnXcGpzs5R
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIfojVtzlw
Valkyrie scratched her head, thinking of how to describe Izuku's new quirk and his inheritance of One For All without revealing too much information.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01V5HSbyMW
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqR3h63pC7
Valkyrie: "He's gonna get something better soon. Better than me. He…already has something better…the next thing will just…make me more obsolete."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmMquHyBBX
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLWOaCQef6
Ragdoll held a paw over her mouth in a scandalized expression while Mandalay turned even redder, fidgeting in her seat. Tiger coughed, then began to pour himself another cup of tea. Despite his hands shaking the tea cup.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVYQsiFyFK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87wPrmc36O
Pixiebob: "Listen Valkyrie, I…don't know what kind of relationship you and your, uh, Master are in but I'm sure he wouldn't abandon you just because he found…someone better. At least, I hope he wouldn't. I-I mean, can you tell me what kind of person your Master is?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZSPUe0M7S
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQfzfuQNb6
Valkyrie did not hesitate to reply as Izuku's good qualities were listed in rapid fire.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KYGiFpuDk
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0L4r01nAY
Valkyrie: "Brave. Selfless. Kind. Generous. Caring."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EbAyGFMTq
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9o4HXpDbG
Pixiebob: "You really look up to him, huh? This person, do you love him?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMvMxqAqYT
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ktShif9Lm
Valkyrie: "Yes."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp0r60egYT
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Lytc1P19
In a pure, sisterly way…of course. But Pixiebob didn't need to know that.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoNmv2BRMd
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC3JeOPDXS
Pixiebob: "Does he love you?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JKWoC2oUo
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiPoQOrjnF
At that, the girl didn't answer. Until the sludge incident, Izuku had never even met her face to face and likely barely even knew of her existence. How was she supposed to answer? Pixiebob sighed, stroking the girl's hair gently.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAXGJlx2JI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW1DqV7d7a
Pixiebob: "Look, kid. Can I call you kid? I mean you're literally a kid now…nevermind."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oABka5pZv
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNKP0YKPF1
The girl didn't shy away from the physical contact, instead leaning into the older woman's bosom further. She snuggled into the softness, feeling the warmth of Pixiebob's body through her clothes.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7kckkwOIk
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8814Y9M3Q
Pixiebob: "At times like these, what you need to do is talk to him. I mean, from what you're implying you guys are close, yet far? It's such a weird relationship but hey, I'm not one to judge. You gotta go talk to him to find out how he feels about you, or else you'd just end up with an unrequited love that'll never bloom. Fight for what you want, what you believe in. If you don't even try you'll just be giving up without a fight."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbzFE5a0qh
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA9suTAO5x
Pixiebob took a moment to catch her breath, then hugged the smaller girl tightly.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPtc08Ur5h
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIruxGnOFZm
Pixiebob: "I should know."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl77l8vUH68
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytUnQFnZpT
Valkyrie looked up, her face still cold and stony as if it was carved out of marble. Her eyes however told a different story, for Pixiebob could see a sort of childish fear within them.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXmYFMX0Di
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKfZmUZbA
Valkyrie: "But what if he doesn't want me anymore?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7SYAd3bee
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KaV2T5Ygh
The blonde thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and gave her opinion.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFcXBNYlFC
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xF3qfrUgc
Pixiebob: "Then you move on. It's not the end of the world. But whoever this guy is, he sounds like a good person from your description so I don't think he'll just abandon you. Which begs the question of why he would find other girls in the first place, the two-timing scumbag son of a-"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69UnM5PRdn
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9tCtuTgMO
The vigilante tilted her head, suspecting that Pixiebob had somehow misunderstood her somewhere along the line. But so far her advice was pretty decent so she'd keep quiet and listen. Meanwhile, Pixiebob was busy getting upset on whoever would cheat on such an innocent girl.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpRIu6n6rW
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCOEMXWyD5
Pixiebob: "-knuckleheaded imbecile! Either way, that's all the advice I can give you. I mean, I was never really good at this relationship thing so I can't guarantee anything."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdpGuumAow
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOczDQeAtO
Valkyrie: "But I…want him all to myself."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcfOG4gJZ4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4pAUTDq1k
Pixiebob raised an eyebrow, then coughed awkwardly. Maybe the girl wasn't as innocent as she looked.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRqGC8OMx4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4u7FfKooS
Pixiebob: "Well kid, that's the thing isn't it? You want him. That implies you want to own him, have him all to yourself. But that isn't right. You can't just own people like they're objects...it may make you happy, but you gotta consider how they would feel. It's a delicate balance of feelings. Relationships sure are complicated, eh?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nWMs8vcjQ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx0XVjIgvw
She thought for a moment of what Izuku would think if she kept babying him all his life, stealing away his opportunity to grow.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lx5tl6irr
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DxxO3obiK
But those thoughts burned away when she felt something horrible.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LnENTBrLu
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0kemujaVf
Pain…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U5NHU7fEX
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H4eByE0bX
Terrible, ungodly pain that made her shiver with fear.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TEfeUaoZL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUrNAbGmDx
Pixiebob: “V-Valkyrie?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGIlzs60FC
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN3kHh4F76
Her words fall on deaf ears. Valkyrie drops the sugar cube jar and sprints towards the exit while transforming back to her normal form.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSOe0ESvo8
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD35y4ykqE
The calls of concern fade into static as Valkyrie’s body flickers in and out of existence.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFDSRDbUzB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VgE9Nx5PC
Her onii-chan was in danger…he’s…dying…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo8SAwdGUr

Izuku had a hilarious look on his face as he looked on at the pearly gates in front of him.

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOjginKMFh

Izuku was practically starting to hyperventilate.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw9uffM9Pv

He gave Izuku a badge.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xQrtwdlcp
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubVfUB6my4
All Might: "Stick that in your pocket. You'll need it for the security system to let you in."

Izuku: "Why are we here?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn8fLKJnPf
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnq6KwBhB6
All Might: "We're meeting two people…far more capable than me in terms of Quirk Diagnosis. If they can't figure out the full capabilities of your Quirk, no one can."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpz6FzmBmJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QPJsBuVfS
They made their way through the campus and stopped at a fairly normal looking gymnasium building.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyFHvQSub8
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lKZFPJSdw
All Might: "This… is Gym Gamma… otherwise known as the Training Kitchen Land."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7FPfC8iDP
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhyvi6XzKs
They opened the doors and went in.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlygxTRuXO4
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWKeHmjb8x
All Might: "And this…"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9lbTYNLzs
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7M17ibP8X
Nezu: "Am I a mouse? A dog? A bear? All you need to know is that I'm…the principal!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34S2cgnM80
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5hrMOCRyV
Izuku: “Nezu!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hzZJDET4N
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiVlKaYFtQ
Nezu: “I’m happy to see you again, Midoriya.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGHesfQFpg
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NTYvHoAT5
All Might: “You two know each other already?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY4w3Vhfka
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM9EZOIC5B
Nezu: “We met during his sister’s last sport festival. I happy to see that his quirk has finally manifested.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUyMYxj10E
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyol0rZ58Fc
The other person suddenly coughed, drawing everyone’s attention to her.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWlZhIAEoa
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwItYWfDsn
All Might: “Oh yes, forgive me. And this is Recovery Girl!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRtGgBPvkn
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WnDnXVhdn
Toshinori pointed to short old woman with her gray hair in a bun. She had a cane shaped like a syringe in her hand. Her name was Chiyo Shuzenji and she was practically what kept UA running. They could never do the things they did without her healing quirk.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZqafZlU5b
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAU6tktq0q
Recovery Girl: "How are you doing today, Midoriya-chan? Here, some haribo candies."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZaOBqGg3x
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDVughEWKE
Izuku: "Th-thank you, Recovery Girl."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ59Y4Ru92
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhbQeOjFnI
Nezu: "Now that we have all been introduced, has All Might told you why you're here today, Midoriya?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr3jo1l8Go
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUOEb79xOn
Izuku: "Just a little. We're here to test out my Quirk, right?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GAFT1TTLe
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1foW434LlI
Nezu: "That's right. Hopefully by the end of the day you'll even have a name for it."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoooq19Uyj
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuapIu0uT6U
Izuku smiled at the memory of everyone trying to come up with a name for it.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9GsWEpCzg
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kz85aLhsl
Most of them were too similar to Tatsu’s or Fubuki’s. Emerald Esper or Flaming Esper. Even Esperanza was suggested.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0lMLim2Oy
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdNqAuX1Eu
In the end, we decided to wait till we have a full understanding of it.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu6uCZZpI7
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNlUVTEgGM
Nezu: “Now, let’s go over everything one more time. Please, describe everything you've been able to do with your Quirk as of now, as well as your parent's Quirks."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg417PTabN3
Izuku began to explain his quirk once again, at least what he knows about it. He also avoided any mention of his father’s abilities. It was the same thing he told All Might. But he suddenly remembered that day at school again.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WDUEG5p17
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBUJWvA2Ii
Izuku: "Oh, I actually just remembered something! I think I was also able to read someone's mind!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVScU3Blx0k
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXQdKuv9l1
Toshinori coughed out some blood while everyone else raised an eyebrow.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqhwcv9FAJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEzHq6tdg2
All Might: "Pfff, you never said a thing about that to me, shonen!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11c67CcbgN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGmvvbijWH
Izuku: "I… kinda forgot… It was the day that thing with Kacchan happened."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotR463S30e
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr8MdflvXT
All Might: "Ahh…I suppose you did have plenty of other things on your mind that day."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdrOkRuIRX
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3Y3PdHSdT
Nezu: "Hmmm…very fascinating. That's quite a Quirk you've got. And all in just two months of use.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4aRqLuNDC
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjq8El84Bm
Recovery Girl: “It’s hard to believe they diagnosed you Quirkless. Did the gene tests really come back negative? The MRI scans did as well?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOR8JevX3V
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfmAlkw70E
Izuku looked at her for a few seconds, before tilting his head to the side.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWsbEHRrMK
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhvMb6YUOZ
Izuku: "Huh?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCMrCC7knA
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCZDYKW8l0
Off to the side, Toshinori was looking equally confused.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqVwxQSIyt
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRVpfDu1gQ
Recovery Girl: "Your gene tests. I'd like to see them at some point."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9RWl4vtQh
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAAB2eVlxq
Izuku:"…What gene tests? They just showed us the x-ray of my toe."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKeNkSUKXY
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xwTS8yejE
Recovery Girl: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! The x-ray? That was what they used to crush a young child's dreams? I'll have their practices! I'll have their medical licenses!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMtGkh6EvP
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmO6iWEEiV
The kindly old lady was quite literally stewing in complete and utter rage. Izuku was almost hiding behind Toshinori.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kGEWDPhxI
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhBrZCdtbh
Izuku: ‘And I thought Tatsu and Kacchan were bad…”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UmNycVH0E
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLy3V5CbA3
Slowly, she cooled herself down.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LC11FFpx9
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41jTrlGm67
Recovery Girl: "Izuku-chan, that exam is merely supposed to be the first thing we look for. It IS generally accepted as a tell of Quirklessness, but it is NOT the end of the road. About three percent of the population with the extra joint still have a Quirk. They're just very late bloomers because their Quirks are normally harder to control. Six, seven, and eight is pushing it. Conversely, about one percent of the population without the joint never develop a Quirk. That is an ancient examination! Nowadays we test directly for the Quirk Factor!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vZixSjGnm
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x2GtM4AX5
Izuku slowly lost feeling in his legs and slid to the floor. All this time…all this time, he'd been mistreated, ridiculed, and all but spat on by his peers…on laziness? On medical malpractice? He clenched a fist, feeling frustration well up inside of him.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzcoXMNfvN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITlSOqOpw8
All Might: "I'm so sorry, shonen."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfvyh1wEq0
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sOqlpVKO4
Toshinori puts a hand on the boy's shoulder.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB4B4IPsDp
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qgX4DBivK
All Might: "I never knew about this either. Back in my day the x-ray was all we had."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ojc5tEWa5
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRCuD7L2kv
Recover Girl: "Who was your doctor? Where does he work?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlz7UBZ1ss
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaRikQaiWU
Izuku: “He's dead…He and his grandson went missing years ago."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfmltSvxLy
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhKfxKPAlh
That brought the mood down to somber levels, before the principal intervened.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGoAtMSLBT
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMBjN3rW03
Nezu: "I'm sure you're frustrated Midoriya, but we truly don't have much time here today. We have plenty to do to prepare for the next semester here as well as get the summer events in order. I feel for you as well, but we need to move a little quicker."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I6Zs0YD3A
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkgvpjWXdC
He clapped his hands as Izuku gave him a determined nod. He was sure that this wouldn't be forgotten any time soon, but for now the boy would be able to ignore it.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHlcRVLZvE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv8QcSMTKj
Nezu: "Now, first things first…we must figure out how to use your second ability. You say the only time you were able to use it was when you were injured, correct?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NwgfXFjPq
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFMf5aFXRE
He got a sharp nod from the boy, and released a sigh in response,
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh7i1afciJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DrIHZlG8H
Nezu: "Then as distasteful as it is, injured you must be. Unless you can get a feel for the ability, you'll never be able to call it up again. After all, much of learning your Quirk is feeling it out."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM8XTzHT2u
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNn6jtd3R3
Recovery Girl still had a heavy scowl on her face, which only deepened at the principal's words.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GQJE32uBy
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rEYUiml4T
Recover Girl: "Unfortunate, but accurate. I will be here to aid you if you can't get the ability to trigger again."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKLHCPVOyL
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBLB2mMQEb
All Might: “I…don’t think that’s a good idea. His sister, Fubuki, forbid it. I wouldn’t want to make her or Tatsumaki rightfully angry.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQtHMJOJiN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVDrNg98mr
Nezu: “Neither would I, but it would be better if he learn how that side of his quirk works under controlled conditions. Better now than in a crisis.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVgjFjjw8x
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N8pzV9jFM
All Might: “I agree but…”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NIKwdWEiU
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpdLn4Hp31
Nezu: “How about we leave it up to you Midoriya. Would you like to give it a try?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI1l2OKIdM
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5MjNvGkfh
Izuku thought for a moment. Nezu was correct in his assessment but he also didn’t want to disappoint or worry his sisters. But in the end, he leaned towards the more logical choice.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny4N3IbsAS
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAGbBguUNX
Izuku swallowed a fair bit of apprehension and nodded.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBwg3LJqzj
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CztBWQF6O
Seeing him nod, Recovery Girl took out a scalpel from her doctor's coat.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPOvHuf5D3
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBzGuKZgTm
Recovery Girl: "Don’t worry dear, just a finger cut. I’m sure your sisters won’t mind."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPhAy9NoNG
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY69i0LLMAE
Izuku held out a shaky hand, and the old woman grumbled for a moment about oaths before making a small incision. Izuku winced but kept from crying out as a little blood started leaking through. Yet as the seconds went by, it was clear it wasn't activating.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMr78OnGge
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrahhi8a7k
Izuku: "I…don't think that worked."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7Fu0lW3K3
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKaY1Qmn5m
Nezu: "Quirks aren't normally one-time things. If that didn't work, then perhaps there is a threshold of pain or injury itself needed to activate unconsciously."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJObAfaZe6c
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ohXFPIfEn
Recovery Girl: "We are not going to put a young child through pain like that!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOysBvkZtws
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYxpFqwkry
All Might nodded in agreement with Recovery Girl. Forget his sisters, he didn’t want the boy hurt either.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gGYAa4xUf
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTFmp8RZgt
Izuku stared at his finger. The small cut was already clotting. Despite a slight sense of fear, he didn’t want to stop. He clenched his fist and looked up toward All Might.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxRcNOiEas
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTqoK1H7XI
Izuku: "All Might."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTS2cvOOBw
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1GbtjzUel
He turned to stare at his mentor in determination as he rolled up his sleeve and held out his arm.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPYWOgCGb1
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoZ6ECfoco
Izuku: "Hit me."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdRcGcb3Pa

All Might: "Midoriya-shonen…"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7wWV0NhOJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jvkLnCQVW
Toshinori's protest died on his lips as he stared at Izuku's determined gaze.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfMyfMvu2w
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj2Dhoe44f
Recovery Girl: "We can figure this out another way!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVuIWnr314
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH9avor7Oj
Izuku: "We tried small. We're not going to get anywhere without some risk, right?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXQS6H6DZS
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iZ6IXgEol
All Might: "You…you're far too brave Midoriya-shonen. Maybe even for your own good."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvmAACNWfC
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCJUdJKuij
He bulked up, turning into his hero form. He held a finger over his student's arm and pulled it back with his other hand. He allowed the finger to slip, and Izuku had to bite back a scream as even that tiny action ruptured tiny blood vessels in his arm and put a hairline fracture in his Ulna.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoCniYPZU1
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYuhLKa9nn
A bruise formed immediately as Izuku slowly went to his knees, cradling his inured arm. Chiyo bit her lip and forced herself to stay still, fighting her very nature which wanted only to help the child.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8uIrjVSIf
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKiRLWPVFG
And then Izuku's arm was enveloped in green flame. They all recoiled, mentally preparing to be hit by the heat, only to be surprised when nothing happened. Izuku was watching the flame with shiny eyes, a peaceful smile on his face.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEY9r3SVDX
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPjq7szrr2
Izuku: "It… it's cool."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKw130q58w
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0FpUplSWm
All Might slowly put a hand over it.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidq01DFGFb
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlQz0InYdF
All Might: "It is. I don't feel any heat at all."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaYx2GdEiQ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeuu6vURFb
Nezu: "Fascinating! How is your arm, Midoriya-san?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYBTZo67cp
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UzhkwJ0VO
Izuku: "Healed! It only took a second or two for the pain to go away, but I wanted to get a feel for it."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRdAsPQmzj
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrHfRPOyLy
Nezu: "Excellent. Shut it off and try to bring it back."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj01GyInpw
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06T3a1ADgT
Nezu told him and they stepped away from the boy. Even if the fire hadn't felt hot, they weren’t sure if that was actually the case.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1vSJjMtXq
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gmztNngci
Izuku walked to the center of Gym Gamma and closed his eyes. His powers…they felt different now that he was aware of them. His telekinetic energy felt calm, powerful, and steady.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKPPYgSJPu
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUZSGgwgtJ
Otherworldly…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdktCSurok
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9wAdJpI57
His fire was…different. It was energetic and alive. It made him feel excited and happy. Like the sun was shining on him. He embraced that feeling and his right arm was once again engulfed in bright green flames. He grinned as he stared into its depths.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9qQjG9raJ
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgyxzsCuzL
Izuku: "I did it!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezFhihX37s

All Might: "Excellent work, shonen!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNCS66jZAW
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Gprd6jTW
Izuku: "Wait! I want to try something!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrR6MMNcfB
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgPFdSRDgA
He dispersed the flame and this time tried to reach for both powers at once. This time the fire that arose was decidedly not cool and tingly.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz7VCBB9b1
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HN1xAB8ai
No, this was a primal, burning fire looking to consume all in its path. He squeaked in fear as the glowing emerald flames enveloped him in a firestorm. They quickly grew out of control and started to spread. It was only a second later that Izuku started to scream.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCdy1gTkeN
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFngGByPeu
A soul curdling scream that sent shivers down everyone who bared witness to how his skin began to boil.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEarINOCDV
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6QlzZ8axU
Nezu: "Fire Emergency!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ehp0NqpB2
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXLSQICiVp
Nezu roared, all traces of his jovial nature gone at the sound of a child and future student howling in agony. The fire suppression systems activated, dumping a deluge of water from the ceiling. They all had to shield themselves from the heat, and almost started to panic as the water literally evaporated before it could do anything.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8Wt0231MD
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyXJk1ZOL7
All Might had enough.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDymVi2MemO

All Might: "Austin Smash!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbxlC0HCWu
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcz66qNm0q
He bellowed and thrust his palm forward. The extreme wind did what the water could not. The fire dispersed, leaving a wobbly, naked and severely burned Izuku in the middle of the gym.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KcfHwkS5b
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOFCCCPOzS
Suddenly, the green flames returned. But this time it was of the healing variety. It was already healing the worst of it but would it be enough…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUmdhxkPaw
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXxehnCfNN
It was only his healing ability, which did not in fact turn off his sense of pain and made things worse by regenerating his nerves only for them to get seared again, that kept him from death. But he still so close.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyRpcaKg4D
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYrIWyYONd
Before he collapses onto the hard floor, All Might gently caught the boy. He was…barely recognizable due to the burns.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhDWHJZRsq
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A9OMgjFVb
The sight caused everyone to stand still in shock and horror. It was only broken when the ground began to shake and fear overtook them.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNZP9PuqtC
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6LJd4JuCI
All Might: “…We messed up.”
