Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcdt0fbJ5S
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQLQ7pVFZ9
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM8VUuFv5i
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS24tQAKcV
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ3bbu1AAE
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkIRkxD0Rs
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb5BwfMQuo
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5QFCn40rq
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiCJaP4W94
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…
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLa6zsTlS3
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbj6w0zotr
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGJhUTa1cV
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdp7p2kImI
It’s everywhere.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q6m6wqgC6
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzYgVXPFtB
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Fo3FBGav
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccJCl9uZBL
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEFeZVJzOh
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgswP7sSRmo
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0nj4c3P4c
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9HFK2D0Ii
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPd64Gx6NV
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB43KGXrtZ6
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHcKazt8S0
“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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdIyysu2MR
Izuku: “To do what?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndJg8oePGk
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiLWNdQ7fE
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgkdSXcofz
But one thing keeps him grounded.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Hfg6a1tv
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAGxEdsyxT
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCupOQmRpoV
“I knew I chose well.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUiIWgrtt4
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QcQsHfkta
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF5e64YofN
“You’re waking up.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpZ4dTUST2
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp8hhbodWo
“That, I have no doubt.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNT6yxMaAq
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2dhGNgzAh
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB755wPSj5
“…My name is-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa1VCNKLZp
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Wk8DFCYg
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcZThqwLVi
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu42ZEUNLk
A lap pillow.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VECS8X1XY
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKwLk5MmkU
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lxI7osGa0
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpZMyrJQ36
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C1Q8bh9pW
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygKBMYWPJU
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9xDlRxjDK
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL3gJo5RRh
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8caBfMJM6
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvpdVNVR4J
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD3wXKqLX4
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BN9gVVawp
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡint67AinNi
Izuku: “Ow.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM6SXHvHLk
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySYO58fttF
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uxWzp5oKe
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlTX7Bf7xG
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8UdbX8E1
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMbLenukWf
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJPRpWdwMh
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePXGd1LgKZ
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE0ptpC5RY
Izuku: “Yes!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS84WwjRni4
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OWxaDDxnK
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm3Tnux0ax
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsMA8mUyu8
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANcU408Pza
The place looked like a warzone!
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2pjb5Pp6Q
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXpzuAxTcf
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiblf5VPtX
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSazzCTXfgt
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHG78C3Ddt
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jiy66qqRP
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGw6cXHGt7
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWonLZ0mBQ
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjY0AlMlyk
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdQJ6P7ZwA
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn12q6Ft0Ww
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEfiQq7AXf
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpndWJgZEj
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP7qyw1Fnu
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFIs4C8g7a
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHy6MSwPpS
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZhwtfxkQi
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx9psZbAfr
No.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL1KKu8naF
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxZTfoBbyg
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Ib4FmEVg
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVzne0059Y
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMOHinStSD
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqlYelRYzg
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4MLJl8aHl
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-
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMDGbpA9wG
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKRLg64Ftj
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1hMcreZkW
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPljAWle37
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPC4eDfRR4
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k3bVdE7RH
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkkuaN7Fc7
Valkyrie: “I-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E6NyqqT4L
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KbKSgUFMJ
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwnVGtt2ak
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycZdPeHH1R
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKhlofm6UL
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU0XlzgrYm
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLxUHZ3kbs
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g1A95EO1Z
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQhkE4sXwI
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ceG6FVo5o
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIwQe7BU89
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65VPLRa5aI
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNe0PEodNl
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ7G57uHJt
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihMlF0SnwZ
Yes, she was getting hurt.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN10QPYNqRJ
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiDXTjz8mx
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy7CUU2bXx
This couldn’t go on.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD4h5LOtJ9
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEt8KHQaJ6
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHXqEhGBq4
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdq2nIXXj5
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbXIMi86z4
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMUjRyEDv0
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeI6sKe1IF
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9tMPoHO4L
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhonLwYb8z
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkooNFtyUm
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt8z7DkL2R
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkG1zuEx8Y
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEEHp7xT4p
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEipF38n1Fo
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3ssiK5h2s
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ziekuFHMM
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tNLwtrcGI
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq9NsMpCgO
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKC4M6oYtf
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ueQRZ8MB
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqHqj9nuBH
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjfteu0flY
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2ERAJBmhK
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYUy0uw8bv
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr97cJvTu1a
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3BFD7H1WQ
Valkyrie: “Family.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxskKaickJ
Wrong answer.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZZaGnZKE2
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tjM38KW8v
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfEnW1X937
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g6emM2VKG
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVJv0DR4yM
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9K0guoo6F
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlnIX3S9Rf
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfiT94WVuN
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrfk99C5BV
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JkDX6lVeR
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyy4FNuFFC
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9T8H3KiZU
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNBpFRs3cC
All eyes return to the fading boy.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KRdckupvR
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF0ri9xoa5
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4imB8iflTN
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXMezJrQCU
Tatsumaki: “How?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKN5cFTgVP
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKKMzmsiFh
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz3TuJOjld
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvyMV6Gp6e
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmjE8v0ABv
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIRs5CfcGC
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVl0HA28oK
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lbZXG2NQq
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP5MwHxG58
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeqIX1aFJf
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcMod2yV0B
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxUaD52a9V
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gyNYeaK3Z
She took a moment before nodding.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIR1XdSeRX
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeyVZ09R7n
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAFT7xT0Va
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlyE4ENQTE
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnHsFa59Kn
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CqxkacTse
Fubuki: “Of course.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqUUUN5icj
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqNjzWCiu5
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%”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzO8VdUUgo
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIGSL3s9U7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4s8Yag38p
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4M2jEfwBX
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0knOwbSrzn
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zPNXsSvjZ
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XQ0pmaVjM
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAPIZZHoni
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWVyglbu6p
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3jMcHjKFT
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr8S1dzfRT
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoMbGnowJR
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCcOFdpRMg
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1XYqnWvv
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3KTb7GtvI
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoor4PGA7b
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRrBNr0tjO
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4xrMHJjJY
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjTb46FYot
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL2zdGF8bp

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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxgZIuMMyY
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M97yDnmmw
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN4fV20ubO
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNEPHyJ45r
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOh0nLDvAx
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh3FkKO11Z
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAxuDSBurg
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrShxoEgMga
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.

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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT16IFbQgO
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9qwiuGq1T
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfjLAmsHKI
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3oDs30Vyx
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJLhvPSlfl
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSe1rkNBGV
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFamFxcRTi
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNJs4ZxQdg
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wpbcBXG71
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNqMkRMORU
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQtDnjolEw

Something answered.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP1LMG1JHz
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ715OIYPG
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.

Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbtYCgsrhM

Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvUBHUzcGw
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHqaS8yzcW
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqLUaclYuz
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB5H9H2L6V
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFVYwDtnk9
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XReNiaFwe
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLTq6nlVNi
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKjzj4uxgM
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDINl838qNc
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jwF8Ig9Q8
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO5qW2Z7Wp
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWxWWxLJhn
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?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLHllqBWy7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmayZX1Okbo
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..."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lVaTtUpOb

He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAClv95bAI
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN3t1Nlk62
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB3ImzbWEf
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3HG1zty4T
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiGJMQozgk
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hfMqHcntu
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWqMBEkTNQ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3JKUnpYdi
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKe1RRM3rG

Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VlVM10nN2

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxpIdyuQ58
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZvsz5iL4c
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qCDO731o1

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxUX6iuwFW
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSPttulL3t
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…
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZBlfqd5HG
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zsZ1lWNdK
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8NlmQ36Xm
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkhOBCJ5gP

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCuFycY2Bg
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OwP18R4C0
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.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFFW2zLcqC
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5atPQC42S
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ8vSQyTMm

Tatsumaki’s cold stare shut down any more ideas for experimentation.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lZJVliiDi

Nezu: “Nevermind.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Xcu4EAwD

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO45bSFDDHv
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rUJJ4qw1D

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9G0ybAcKg
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmAH7w74hW
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.”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaELojM61lI
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEiSfysmT5
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRqnJxqgdL
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06AMFPBzQt
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."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzOdvmKMGV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOAYSzPVkw
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKue235vGnM

Izuku: "I will! Thank you for the advice, principal!"

Nezu: "Speaking of, you intend to pass One For All to him, don't you?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYbxCbyxoB
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdth1FLagx
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."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q5IBcxP3S
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjw6mOaRbv
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."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrmAgrVhI8

Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”

Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zhXC5jSCF

He blanched, finally remembering.

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVcXyOuMl2
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RLnx5E3Qu
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?"
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzdJaKRnWO
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNJdWhiKLm
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFibKHByro
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdUK94AAEI
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTx9Ncyjp5

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NzZsZjdiv
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzexfzkKqJ
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyfLUDXKRK
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHzbcR4iSu
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."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCEBlPwQs6
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzOPeTukpC
Izuku: “No…I'm not. I…I finally have a Quirk. Something to make me unique. Something that is all me…that ties me to my family"

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCh9GRkzO6
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd0j1wUjuG
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."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wVYqkq3eg
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf9vroqWSj
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."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMHdtWeECp
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWLKfIVQXe

30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFMpyiFQ0M
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMcCzl1C5p
Nezu: “Correct. Toshinori, you could never had met your master if she had killed herself flying into that wall. If Torino hadn't been there she may have done just that."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIiYnO7pAC
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ihlecAn2O
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSbxc0gx0A
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X2Tree544
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."
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23y5P1fSFA

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

He started laughing a little boisterously.

Izuku: "And here's my promise to you, All Might. I'll search high and low if I have to! We'll find your successor to One For All!"

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

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

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

Fubuki, because Izuku wouldn’t fly so far ahead that…

No, she shakes that idea of her head. But the more she looks at her brother, the more she sees Psykos…

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