Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOiaFv2Lw7
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe51akF8d5G
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNkXtNwmWf
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaocvxEKfg
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IPkNNuHQ2
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2rz3m2Z9i
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzmul30kmM
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhowHILlkXB
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XvaJ7sxcf
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…
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AZDER1iiC
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqnFySCXEu
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbaOBc7yYi
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EF0hyE0Sr
It’s everywhere.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQudSb1hb6Z
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD4hqPYGP0
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLTVsXaZDO
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsKKmaGZ8U
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDY2mmqSSm
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD6bVFYU6Y
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf3w0J2XNq
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCIHvX884r
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDoFGFG3z0
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY7Jl5zezO
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCBbfp7snH
“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.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg96CAttrNo
Izuku: “To do what?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG3O14CpS7
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNdxutV3uZ
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTpBcDiztP
But one thing keeps him grounded.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftqzSDYVUK
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.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoS50H9z5z
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcK0BB6yz4
“I knew I chose well.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4z4j00iMX
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjbqzaY5Bm
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3fiqaoL38
“You’re waking up.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Vi1bI9k8
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w07xBVF70
“That, I have no doubt.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OgJEyRC0H
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpXuy3PG6D
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiqOaqpYZE
“…My name is-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOdxAEbVQc
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IJb43Jqiq
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS0sZVNMpo
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoseWOkDXGj
A lap pillow.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4AVyCMpcP
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7HLkPogyq
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIRs9HXcM4
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUBha9JBjI
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f7vDTXHIX
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyTYY5kmXt
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkazpljoKhh
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KIyDQGr83
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SaAjvyRjU
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc91D4FVbH
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6ZZkMpUy8
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIh3lYxwBv
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO6TS11sW5
Izuku: “Ow.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDxyM6vJfJ
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86jNObaVdm
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOsvzEIRQe
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQxvNePCmE
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYw45LbYdD
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaASlURHyyJ
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1cF6vEUyN
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiW88c2bJH
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK4U0tnJc0
Izuku: “Yes!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfIyNj8qqv
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc28wagPfzb
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ToypRBPN
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59wzhoGcxJ
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIhmwRlYpD
The place looked like a warzone!
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonaAZTN6Tw
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu27MANBqF
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7utJntAHV
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjYMmoGv76
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mbqvHgEy3
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtC0MetHoD
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVX6DlxHDW
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfzzxuZpaN
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp13Ff57JI
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Q1aW55rH
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqKa7Yb8uS
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDX5mULTXa
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ByfRQZm7H
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURo0euGjMK
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I6dD7izPp
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiJGgxWVbV
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ELR6O2nhQ
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrn15IgDQj
No.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexKe33ayJS
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc81qj6vCVw
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RKUzUqPYp
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoANC6wonXM
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCGVHFVEw6
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiDeJtIghm
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJyJFB4LXr
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-
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNhQAcCdRZ
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBE37AEGiC
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqkKjp3dER
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nSqhp0OY5
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lyh4mGMhN
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ5Os9ntAT
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaKBl8lF0a
Valkyrie: “I-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DujMHjiJ
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwWOZE297i
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Ses1vYN9
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcV1KajxGe
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfqrKxBAAS
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPCw4rS6DY
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNzC8k4ZUI
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxHJQcbbp9
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHv4FGP9S7
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsUUXhDYlP
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvVf71fxZg
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPYwmaeO7W
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6tuIVlGLg
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXLNWOCCrU
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpakWF6uVLX
Yes, she was getting hurt.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6jSjdVlfE
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2pPApqNcg
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz4OycfOTc
This couldn’t go on.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW44p4w9j6U
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAjfmCVu8X
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmDqbvs1Ot
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjduWRYki73
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnDNL9Pt5l
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPdmCgIjPh
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq8nsSphVc
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmYA7GY2mN
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeC1T6cNXZ
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZyiYNzzyg
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIcbaaFfgx
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e22LtCnvW
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNrhk3QYJp
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEexEOW9hlY
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxKU7CbsY5
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z1Uf3bLfI
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2urYF74OA
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xpTL9paUO
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6BcAElJr6
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIdeTnBHU6
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2mkbdpmp4
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNguWcksYTj
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x7sI4let1
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O9sVzlYpT
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAPsDiIfex
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxReyRQgEV
Valkyrie: “Family.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc7TeR7sKa
Wrong answer.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5YSihQauG
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKG1fcJ7OB
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviHujS8W9t
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjvhpG7k4Q
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMUSlHOGIM
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk237jQDQaW
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVBvVA6qdV
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop87hCe9vh
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6aHvfhkiJ
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6AZEmPrTO
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvGu4l5SFF
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XRfpEVFWO
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiGtGaiVNo
All eyes return to the fading boy.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmHNlw73yr
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmlTjYQVKf
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkGtuYK27X
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBbzfhbwrN
Tatsumaki: “How?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnhEp9tPPZ
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BtdLtGXRq
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZvLhFnInr
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6LY8Uf3K7
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeo5UJBL0m
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNxAeBvFDl
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr1dzoNNDN
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstOe0OXBjA
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2XsjiPt5x
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWsiQhX7AS
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7tAMARbhC
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V5cHVRoQ8
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg0mFJr3Ui
She took a moment before nodding.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz4CEnCmBe
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhf71fHBSx
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1iVOZ7DbE
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHgPgI23Ls
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZW5zkkVTN
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF8NThUylX
Fubuki: “Of course.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtwgsUEaB0
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrXbVQeZ8k
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%”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2IjOWmoZG
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X22Iv916X
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nto2TkfRi
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfLtQu6kHh
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDEJskKqMQ
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSS40Gpa04
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYQH8t0kkq
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBUPt8yVJk
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUixWUYEeuI
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jxoz1EYnP
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFccdTRYMJJ
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkK2K83otM
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEqzgdc7Ka
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5cS8TXNjg
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsMcUAgGxn
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG4o9XnFuN
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9K4WYuMh1
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGliVgjFTA
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVWseAnsjw
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibq8LOHNat

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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPEiD8MSgZ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA79bFBNy7
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEjlgx3hII
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpGnd5MDRU
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu5EsxGgpz
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzKNM6Yfcw
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYVgRvYaZU
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYzUT1nwVi
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhOLrS7Szq
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhp2yxJNbl
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnSY1HGymp
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIghT5O0oUx
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHvnZJZwJV
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHWd5dmQSM
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcdvC70NH
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESTLWsPH8j
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6ZRdMbMWr
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqaaXQwM4O
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'

Something answered.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZJVrZnlY4
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bjp2G9xBL
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEClgiOXui0
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicoIINd9Id
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBpTTtHr8F
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou2xUPdLTd
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJHJ391YXD
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GngJGc0hW
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiubsDwPCK
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bv5Q99ofB
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu49Xfhbxu9
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo4MgwXjMS
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2AyH2yofc
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DjD9QbkNb
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?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GdvLhbbuO
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NvcUXsM3x
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.

He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSbDWOyNPC
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoAMQgilez
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3jDB3mwAY
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaUXBlLEOe
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fYdspnRNJ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6cGmRbZUN
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f7oKwRZmh
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdKfTMwD3A
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.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBugjOjhl3
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb5xAOUmjD
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…
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP80qc4VWGf

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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxkqAQPoc7

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLZzPhRKHZ
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.”

Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2etJpaeRAM

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlS8xFdYDB
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFpVIEt00O
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89mLhQAN6J
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGJxQHytzQ
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."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH7eMTJh9j
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?"
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvMjtr9n6g
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQKFwcVWtA
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i0rijMSKB
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbq1QGTZfN
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxQ1kUzZRZ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy4U9UQQfP

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3WUeWPjjJ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2vEspRNvH
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluTCjuiR7j
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nVHbzJT6j
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."
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZt8JozLz1

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOv2TCMcQ2
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqOqNC2TIm
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: "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.
