Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR0Es64VNl
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcwxb4IEho
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gboi7HGgg
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJr5br1m0L
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYDey48QzV
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPzGCthGkn
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaEEhug2ip
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeVtZcitkx
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub2TdTWQkn
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…
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveivbSowHs
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh3JKCCdkN
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWlrh1zx1P
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGsVtAT4Tn
It’s everywhere.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfZuQT093v
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv36r2rgqSL
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLtsAtmUYY
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfvbsOaxOe
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRlQyx1SfA
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylL6e0f7Bo
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M4CjvTIOm
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo5a7V9GjE
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVGyz2ZI3E
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcUmqPqwfC
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU89BNFin2r
“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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZRQj2Lfkj
Izuku: “To do what?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxMXrKeulL
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g7b3mGlph
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOS8FkQA8T
But one thing keeps him grounded.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCqfwrQlve
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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsklEvqibeg
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1EicnKRp2
“I knew I chose well.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxFPHl6zlx
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KgkhBQF0k
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxjmZI6mC3
“You’re waking up.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyHZvMACEk
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRW9CMrb7M
“That, I have no doubt.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOMwfYKXbj
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewImb4iEMW
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rvah2Y1Do
“…My name is-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJBhO4YWuh
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QrfyKduyE
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nr9W5ePP1
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAeicVDFXz
A lap pillow.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC02gJudXY2
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYHQWrTxIP
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr31vf4hem
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbwZTnuAU4
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkrNhIO98q
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7TbWZgjAx
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z8QHCDAB8
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd3YgYNLrv
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfNH2WsLsN
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwZ6AA0jE1
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIzpZWbEiA
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA14R6GsEcd
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TfztI3zW8
Izuku: “Ow.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSTn0mkoQ1
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkGvTymstN
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DIdCfzDTm
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Zy6EWP3m
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLBM2d1lKo
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OlyueIKoL
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjKhkWm6pQ
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi7AApXckd
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLBZyRHWnf
Izuku: “Yes!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY9ahwBSmS
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEdjzfTdRY
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xofjToJCq
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiYP8oig9F
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ZJLGKJ1z
The place looked like a warzone!
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYN6ICjRYj
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddhmBm0R9x
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse1io8BkuZ
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgyrcnvxcz
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Sz2QpMTL
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7FbQn5ExS
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihLD8NMTfc
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt4dJRPMSd
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mrzwz46P2
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6TjazRv6J
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDRjTvQQbk
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4XQApMw7a
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoXxIAluig
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C2DzXlj8D
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfDzI000xx
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuVpaJkIjD
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sh2ZzlINJ
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hp70x4I6m
No.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2hEW2TsAb
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtJaAWYHm6
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QTtdQilH8
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuEosRLVrD
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClLPOWoghj
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ZLKopfBm
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANSO9JAeE9
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-
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2s38ddZ0W
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtjbJaLfTV
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD5ZxQP2tr
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4yONZFKgq
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVohY7IP4MC
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA4x3p1C7w
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGljt1CJ1ot
Valkyrie: “I-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GVvKSaTzR
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWf99byv3G
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrSTZCvNWk
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHT0sXRI6a
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3uhxAUOrc
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvuK0t5jij
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoF8ANXRYp
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOPYDNzXlr
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMd7GucFDF
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQt13A3UDy
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt2qwL8B4P
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz0wXazfpO
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSmRXrkis6
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqeY4cjVEt
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPDdQ1ntZ0
Yes, she was getting hurt.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CdMJjWHQL
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuhjMPoQ9U
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBFIxdOSP0
This couldn’t go on.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4qF7wU2fT
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzgDAga9dH
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHe6cJhXYb
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrxIA0xGgO
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsPlHUZAzl
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykcXdIkHZd
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbDYj1nnXC
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnCihwYwR7
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvRHOOS0lh
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ5G4FbpCw
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjbRGXLdqk
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr55eE0kt9
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D0tI3whTd
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbZ1agPY2h
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuhIboESfx
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPrictlXFK
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpUBQ1tk36
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDqGB2cItN
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbYlLU42Rg
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvMt6fCmSg
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzdc0ECW8E
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkZWvbVIYz
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzxgPHvZPh
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHR641PsF8
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG0uPje5Zr
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADWKPMIk2I
Valkyrie: “Family.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6ShK9ggMQ
Wrong answer.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y8Nfnun73
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1dgkwjoua
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjntq0B64f
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqUOIgmQnI
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW8fgC5XLF
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rTLcxPg1J
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3unuEn1z9
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wYl7mCrg7
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF83pusJNtQ
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLwacApbT0
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhGIhpZIXK
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTwswGHZ5f
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOf7BV46PM
All eyes return to the fading boy.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhqOplGv2r
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3xgtM5LV6
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7KPlLLwv8
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvaigqI1Ng
Tatsumaki: “How?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SavOI084Q
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Nm2u7gJG
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZKsGbS7Gl
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH850VvK1r
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOBd8zn6Kl
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtQzcfBmty
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzyVaLS95O
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3n2l4QG69
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz4dfcmPWo
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OIehSZrzz
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzynwLpO4BT
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QytzKDrmQ
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z6fJYQdYe
She took a moment before nodding.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lEJ7oFME2
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwIKHMer70
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEYEkQOXqR
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszIg2cZJow
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsY0m9KhtH
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Q7IvlC9p
Fubuki: “Of course.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FqkFb5HVX
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjag1x77FiC
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%”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zhBV8BDdr
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcTPi8vDIu
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R1g0miw73
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAIafxJFtr
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO6MOOluRW
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6lbTWqmM0
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3z4a8VWR0
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6LfjROYDP
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiMA2zGE9H
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXzW2g6MPr
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeCbJOC4bG
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaieVNkZKq
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbHGXhLeCI
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5fD0SONdO
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAi4bdCxjj
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WPXdJ5Kzc
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPgF9YRMXs
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYmQHBwqS9
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IWtcL9DvB
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMcqq6nWjk

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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGxPw6bb62
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZMIPhvMpj
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHfAJGEpj8
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj16xj0yXjK
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd6he2Fzmj
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlADRhChqf1
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzGjrj2HEU
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNQW847Eqc
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn4Jc1q5RL

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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYrEJJWyan
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJI9F34wvH
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9V1Fppu9n
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UecYh0L45
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.

'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcAkm9Fo1A
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnnGC78E2z
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBlci6AxLk
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHT0wjtov3
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Y1wCM5C4

Something answered.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65tT5BtDJb
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wmC6vAU9t
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.

Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaEIrwKtns
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12vrSWBgrZ
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oFM206XXj
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYSvfJQmVI
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8UtDnzQbx
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUeHSdwJO5
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3l9XpCari
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmY4qlcJ3n
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4GBfF8nZH
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftwk09dzaS
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8yvxpIMtt
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaK6OWVGpP
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?"
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Emsi4TiF
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUbenwnW38
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.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAIXRQzYqo
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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmAhGRM1NG
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEGLqaebb0
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzAZPGIe8W
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOBJDpTdYT
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sy7FeSwXF

Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlYdIIRp7N
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZCWE7S0TS
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.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPwFKj2DGF
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNt8TcfhT2
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…
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y16ewlxWx

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.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvyCUCraIw

Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN5e8xJCOh

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipsyqrUcus
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.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJtj1vm5Gu

Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNXAcXkD4N
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbaQeqUgyL
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."
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nFpXYkeOX
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7yaN0QuEq

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOqsndtsB
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ef3Rt44SF
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."
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7hTOWUe7v
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVyoqEX95y
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."

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi2b8aq6UX
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?"
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkBPxpTrGM
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddZ5uS4Ffv
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPEJcFI9La
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodMcLM82Fx
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."
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6aEy7Z3lz
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp9r0KPnKB

The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVS7QWyhf3
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zZGZvNImL
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."
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f75Y1tY9e
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEykpDTmLKl
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 admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgLJqA3FC3
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm52ULek8D
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!"
