Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFjaq42M3Z
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ4Afimj3a
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3HV1OoHAC
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZhMNzMycK
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwPbeDY6Cz
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ731A4n0Tth
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFuMgzMBik
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gKw9ERFUA
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt0CJ9i2XX
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…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7GkztSXB1
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfX5oiK4Ls
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUnVEHRAfB
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90To7nJwJS
It’s everywhere.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ9IudvXZX
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwnrPAKzlf
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQBuMw8ubV
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4zK9ZlTbA
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBiP6aZqjw
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNEslQniEL
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4tsUH7dor
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRLSdceUQR
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF95Whrv1g
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvURNRznuj
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8iyHXBNnc
“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.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFQaL418U2
Izuku: “To do what?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHXEBaTEUg
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIFPvo3gYL
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuJInrA4La
But one thing keeps him grounded.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmXvTkixL4
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.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQv2OGC22F
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SPpkIjueS
“I knew I chose well.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqw0jSYPTg
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Cnt8nirJ
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5nBtGsV7V
“You’re waking up.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaQlpTZyJ2
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JryxxehMR
“That, I have no doubt.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHe9Bc47ki
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCQeMHlko6
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8ovxT8MZz
“…My name is-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdspghvZGj0
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ARr8SpDVb
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhQ0PdT5uP
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6SS8HvTGp
A lap pillow.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWZMq4bnwl
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR3Rht77uC
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPJ7oCguZ4
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJvXrZHEIg
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zpn8pgwsV
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnApeKe1ht
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIz9mVzK2k
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkzp07KltE
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSDxmUoW50
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaanAirUTw
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgg8Axws9A
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Fpum8Hx9
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR4tZ2A0XD
Izuku: “Ow.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbakhwF9x4V
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKi7ccHsJh
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInsip3qnbn
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69QWQcDiZG
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XCk4t5n0H
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dWRItejJ1
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF4g8FtKE1
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqduPs8SXB
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna5aSKs5XH
Izuku: “Yes!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziV7slNLPw
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpexbfJge2H
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6lu2gOMhG
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge3Zv91CUW
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pHwQELNvU
The place looked like a warzone!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkyLmoiNfF
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVQPSWDNmS
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy05qYwA55s
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX2YSGrBgX
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQcQJDtE77
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0hBCccHgp
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK0CQrmwFm
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGNlc0HtI9
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT9BwQa7DP
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxD2Se5bsb
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUTKQCr9IM
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKVAZRXleb
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM1QAH00ez
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxLWYw5lU5
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv62DLgxZT
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvauwZLLPk
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTBUPb7Uba
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NYKVwfZmV
No.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtF3sCLMbV
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEerbXhfic
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGNuTH33tJ
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG1EDGEXK5
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e5KMGrXL5
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATVhu5wiHa
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa9lzo2HS6
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-
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMJc2Xh7qb
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcRy2R0P2v
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqSqNk4xO2
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSNxbupwCE
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnQY7I45pY
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3gHw5NeYw
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLhN4mPJF4
Valkyrie: “I-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JXYTMoH4y
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK11g3entb
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWuYSlHAHv
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Ez2yaNpe
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkji5ZNyTt6
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjnB4itbpF
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7GyKBJshd
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA6chkbZBy
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE9exb2RAA
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMdVEPK3vJ
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvk6cEFAJy
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8kU7A0v4J
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYmEpnBkpw
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFMx3uZzdq
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIrmcxmtSj
Yes, she was getting hurt.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLbjay4HgZ
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0AjjRWALh
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDtR5k67oH
This couldn’t go on.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKYmvAVv7O
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI55kSMdC0q
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tbmAnRTxd
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30zDHwRGXL
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSik119b5X
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKWgLkY7mB
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLzNEisptg
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp0V9ydKjR
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuuT9KJS0e
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2LFtIOQC5
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNiLnyvr9I
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl4tr9G5gN
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr4hkyUgVR
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY874cf6i7N
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuCKokJSSf
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLmyRRiLA6
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHvotJOek5
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbel4x3euyL
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruOZMjQGtS
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0pk6rj6JN
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMu3tCDMCf
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpiyf97Q53
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Fqz9qBCt
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9HzdUDuLk
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFwUXyMezO
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuk8r21J14
Valkyrie: “Family.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRWCZe7ubX
Wrong answer.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91FRrW88to
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BUJ8ZEERs
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhm9CHkivQ
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdjRER1yg5
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNJVo3OMwL
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpixVRxm1KD
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLhb5TyirT
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJGdEsv7P5
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA0qTSYVx1
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFCp3afd0D
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkebJL1gbr
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKH4fZbSlK
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtwtXAxfBA
All eyes return to the fading boy.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HJE8TGCbg
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD4nM4yuxN
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVurAsEJ45
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSiZsc8N7y
Tatsumaki: “How?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHrAtb03Ui
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZCWXLU4z4
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjJHDuyBZ2
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oaUzcxRJn
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qFM8yp7kd
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOlO391YDC
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6r74BvMHz
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi7rZMD5AJ
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeipXliHwS
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGJma1Buph
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjv4I3hTXD
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1GMNUuwqI
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdfdXCGbW1
She took a moment before nodding.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlWtNIVO4B
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x6seiw2jY
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MbicbMzNU
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L5xEjk6wQ
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sHnUyYtGV
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvBQL6rdPl
Fubuki: “Of course.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYDJn2dN7A
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDwk36YyQg
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%”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKTy2XGpMR
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHoXmKzsoP
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeax9TnLDQQ
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogqpVbLulc
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3WfRJlK2e
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlnhF3DtiF
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrHqXgWJlC
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnBgxcPf2M
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCtG54KZJG
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCBWeVKg9Z
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaPTCxce87
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwErUPX918
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnydjhigNr
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw30KnbjcHT
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYNGFt8h2o
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"

The two sisters looked at the scene with a slight blush and they weren’t the only ones. Izuku was also blushing, and cursing his hormones. He always found Valkyrie pretty.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXRnS72JF6
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97OvEx67Jp
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi3UQs2L8u
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDcRPOPJzj
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlHjk2MEHU
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi6IHc8A8p
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU56r39V9GZ
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6LQ9H1a58
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUwPttm0oW
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOD4udKOa8
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21AcgdEyYu
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xPEgCNkGo
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE49YO8acAQ
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhH4gQzoCb
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAlGJ752sg
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k1Rgzp11h
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSLrYf73Ww
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4cujJ6gKR
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.

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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj5daosEL2

'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sk4IM9oYy
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvISpdzc6uy
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYL9WjGQBd
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIuu6hjybW
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDWgRBtOhx
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyyQj1oljF
Something answered.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EaU0dwP9p
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2LoxVFJA2
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.

Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EwkshSSRc
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL7VKccHrK
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvq7zrRujZ
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2U4UydGjn
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJr8E5hhLR
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k4TM22DAl
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQyg5LrBFa
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTZgUNvBvb
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwqDwuKXIW
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1RX5QEVIb
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjZBAxnnAA
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1AlDcwSNb
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?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwYkOTge2P
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMmo3pcW5d
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.

Izuku: "Ten years..."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyr53l0up7

He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFNI0VSQPD
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gKFUi0BJj
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1opdWU6AxN
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjs5wKVnKh
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pzRLWTT7Y
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDynnauvgOP
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNOyTiK7f0

Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmHEERDJ4M

Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxY7Xsr4t6
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD6QZI7cQZ

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DuArTC25q
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKMnaNh3Qk
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…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOo2gz6Km2
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRG3UqslxL
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s7IbdjrDl
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDZyeEmQfr
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpC9yRjYYG

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsPgEPu0Zr
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xNqmIsoVk
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.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCDvCTHwbl

Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7B3Fyzecg
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoiZriWpPW
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."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr3edUuHvx
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDWTsbOQIF

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHptXb4Dfl8
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwOZJeOMyX
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."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMsDfvwwLY
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJyUGwO8NG
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."

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Be4qRuR6
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioQSquXFPn
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?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32fGppREPF
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6D9xu3Xp3
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0AJCeVLr9
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNjaQde3AA
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."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ug9a8zLe
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhZlF3zmWu

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB8fL4I1Wr
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojxQ6sCpgZ
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."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqGTWDdnpz
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4FaxA74ox
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."

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!"

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.
