Izuku awoke, but not really. He doesn’t know how but he can feel that this isn’t real.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA70fmNcpt4C
Maybe it’s the fact he’s in space and not dying a horrible death. Speaking of…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAU3zKbhaNmj
The boy looks at his skin and breathes a sigh of relief. He’s been healed. But that relief is replaced with concern.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZCVTlKp5KP
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANACQaeGq33Rn
Izuku: “Am I…dead…?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAADFpDt60V1
Tears begin to flow and float out into the endless cosmos.
289Please respect copyright.PENANABOBjdVPqPv
All the years of ridicule and pain…for nothing. When he finally got his quirk he…killed himself with it.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAfOB9qbl4Q9
His dreams lay shattered and broken on the floor of his heart. But that is not what causes the soul to ache.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAQx1YXrJMQm
Izuku: “Mom…Fubuki…Tatsu…”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA7gx2kMFJru
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…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAvHxML5rqLi
Izuku: “I’m sorry…everyone…I-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANASqoDAB53CG
“Shh child. You are not dead.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAoJSSx7mXkt
Izuku whipes his head around, looking for the voice. After a moment, he realizes where it’s coming from.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxPJHUqrsVi
It’s everywhere.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5xZnw4cpJT
Emerald bird eyes emerge out of the star night sky and look at Izuku. The emotions behind those eyes however, are hard to place.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAX80u8IUPQR
Izuku: “W-W-ho…w-what are you?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAydFlPovLki
“The time for you to hear the full answer has not yet arrived. However, for now, you can call me friend.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANASitICirGrY
Izuku: “But…why? I don’t…understand.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAzVzQe956l3
“You will with time, as you powers continue to grow.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANACFamzYcqQf
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA6ogAlEEgja
With that knowledge, he can breath again.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAg40FbioYeQ
Izuku: “Okay, then where are we?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANADxa42eUbN3
“Within your mind, or more specifically, my…room within your mind.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuOPhLWasBP
Izuku: “You’re inside me?!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAC38q9KCIej
“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.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAlBWMSegDu8
Izuku: “To do what?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA60x9FUl2XS
“To be the hero this world will need in the future.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOFZaSgJcJM
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAV1o79h4aXp
But one thing keeps him grounded.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAdhaKIZfPmw
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.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAIkiirA3K0U
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5sSKE6OdVA
“I knew I chose well.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhosoPlhipd
Suddenly, the space begins to shake and Izuku’s body fades in and out.
289Please respect copyright.PENANADSybCc0c0c
Izuku: “What’s happening?!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANASOpoxkglRy
“You’re waking up.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA1JeSQfJvy8
Izuku: “I-I see. Will I see you again.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAIgjXqQKh5k
“That, I have no doubt.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVWEHe7rukf
His body flickers once more, it’s almost time.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAsgMNRwXT2M
Izuku: “Wait! What is your name?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAkt8xSHsla
“…My name is-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuNBUcSXqrg
289Please respect copyright.PENANAaqRZHRSjqo
Izuku felt something soft and warm under his head. The sensation felt real. He was awakeand fully clothed.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAHwPvRLv4gT
He slowly opened his eyes and when he realized his position, he nearly screamed. But instead he could only blush wildly.
289Please respect copyright.PENANANwlZHobg6q
A lap pillow.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAwwwrEkp8C1
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANADIiILOZT5F
Before he could ask what alternative reality he found himself in, they noticed him.
289Please respect copyright.PENANApxYnSRXQAl
Fubuki: “Izuku, you’re awake!!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZCyZ95sTRc
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUEAPu0cPfJ
So he removed himself from her and took a breath before speaking.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAD9SUAXKSPw
Izuku: “Fubuki!? W-What happened? Why is Valkyrie here? Where am I? What happened?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhLQ3fNUY3i
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAheVK6FhfH3
Tatsumaki: “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAulwf8CJtNW
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxBLQbpxzZG
He can feel a splash of water hit his cheek.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAnv9goNL8LC
Izuku: ‘It’s not raining though…and I’ve never seen Tatsu cry before…’
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhcyP0zyCoC
Before he can think further, Tatsumaki let him go and chopped Izuku in the head.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAL0So3KGuRQ
Izuku: “Ow.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANARocwtWx4eU
Fubuki: “S-Sister?!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuTvnyCCvmX
Tatsumaki: “That’s for scaring us all half to death! What were you think Izuku?!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5xUKrcKfuM
Izuku: “I-I wanted to test-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAdplPHqydfW
Another chop to the head shut his mouth before he could answer.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAL3LwJZWByG
Tatsumaki: “Never. Again. You. Hear. Me.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAHy4nShIBvv
Every period, another chop to Izuku’s head.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAajfGJ4GJtt
Izuku: “Yes! I understand.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAiimpulxTMI
Tatsumaki: “You promise?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOsc1KAazdA
Izuku: “Yes!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA51EtcZOXte
Tatsumaki: “…Good.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAlDlIpZaxDm
Fubuki: “Was that really necessary?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAIMJ7RRD8Vv
Tatsumaki: “Yes, he needs to get it into his skull that this will never happen again.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAtsm4TQ1Hp1
Izuku rubbed his head while looking around and it finally hit him.
289Please respect copyright.PENANABzjhKkdWFM
The place looked like a warzone!
289Please respect copyright.PENANAEzGtZoyeDN
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOPakhdxGd2
Izuku: “Tatsu…where’s Nezu and All Might?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAh1XCNnC2sX
For some reason, Tatsumaki looks at Valkyrie who looks away…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUc1TgqsUL1
Fubuki: “Don’t look at her, you explain. You started it.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAMKSNC8nFfk
Tatsumaki: “…Fine.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAGFSegbSXWh
289Please respect copyright.PENANA8dZTpyhszS
All Might could take Tatsumaki if he wanted to.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAazkga965VW
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZyWjhtpvWd
They could have saved him quicker or shut down any notion of self-harm.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZUGRD5rsLL
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA2a1xCAv72l
Tatsumaki & Fubuki: “IZUKU!!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAnY9DJKqvNJ
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAPu054nOYZV
Their faces filled with tears of worry and despair. The only saving grace was that his wounds were slowly healing.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAy4rRc5f59L
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUZELRq7LGs
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ8yti1oEF
After that, Tatsumaki looked back at Nezu and All Might. Knowing what he should do, All Might stepped forward and explained everything.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAYXKnBD33fk
No detail was left out and Tatsumaki kept eerily silent. But All Might knew she wasn’t calming down.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAYAi7BTzoEQ
No.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhhofViXehW
He could feel in the atmosphere, she was close to exploding. This may be the most mad she has ever been.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAYJihkPUa6L
When All Might was done, he took a bow.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhuPa3oGp6I
All Might: “I take full responsibility. Do what you will Tatsumaki, for what I have done to young Midoriya.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAKxyfzsaykR
Nezu: “I’m not free of blame either. I also take full responsibility.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAQV6o3GjEBa
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA22P2i6pPV0
Fubuki catches her gaze with her own tear filled eyes. Fubuki couldn’t hold and looked away, causing more tears to fall.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAECURkABC0P
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-
289Please respect copyright.PENANAiDqJqC1a7O
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAownYQXx93J
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAn1BbPOFOxV
Only half way did she feel the gazes. One of them being so full of anger that her skin seemed to burn from it.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAcjao6qqcT8
She looked at Tatsumaki who’s eyes are pin pricks. Her forehead is littered with wrathful veins.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAwNNivQJRBp
Tatsumaki: “What…did you just say?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAA07EiKFngA
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAijo2Fgm3xL
Valkyrie: “I-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWrnlyEfA2b
Her words were caught off when she was violently crushed by Tatsumaki’s power.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAjsUmlsNtuV
Tatsumaki: “Who. Are. You?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANADXS5JsWqK5
She strained her voice, trying to explained.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhA8XeMz74k
Valkyrie: “Onee-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAIsK7Wqryd
But that was the wrong word to use. She was slammed into one of the walls, making a deep indent.
289Please respect copyright.PENANASyU8mbDbGl
Tatsumaki: “Don’t call me that! We are not family!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAFQsdGnie4G
If Valkyrie had a heart, it would break from that.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAEP44bn9PlA
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know what you are but if you are connected to that man…”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAmH04TLdim0
Valkyrie was pushed further into the wall.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAtkn8KBm63s
Tatsumaki: “Then I’ll force you to talk and then I’ll finish what I started.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAwzm4awfSw8
No more words were uttered as Valkyrie was flung through the wall and into the sky. The only option now was survival.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAN94hLW7zYL
Tatsumaki followed but ripped up several parts of the gym along the way.
289Please respect copyright.PENANACToiceHtNW
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANApSCHKjxqwP
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA7VvdwuWZMp
Yes, she was getting hurt.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAt1bvIHtKSJ
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAh8xXSkmbna
The bright sun was blot out by a cloud of shrapnel and the eldest Midoriya was its conductor.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAvMyTyeuh78
This couldn’t go on.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVusPHDrepi
Valkyrie focused on where her older sister was and charged forward, ignoring the constant sharp pain.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAerllIrV02m
If she won’t listen, Valkyrie will make her listen.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAp9EEHOYiw3
Emerald light blazed in the girl’s eyes as she cocked her arm back in a very familiar fashion.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWkqTJ0lVDV
Valkyrie: “DETROIT-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAIsJ3i6nN6g
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUgI17FgieP
Valkyrie: “-SMAAAAAAAASH!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuEPDeV1QqJ
A thunderclap of pure energy resonated through the air, dispersing the cloud of debris.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA78VFC5RodT
Tatsumaki is flung back down to the gym, fully engulfed in a green shield of psychic energy.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAyRlXStOOtl
She’s not damaged, but oh so much angrier.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA3KTIPqTJcX
She ripped spikes out of the earth and flung them at Valkyrie. But she easily tore through the attack.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZRBSPnHdE
Valkyrie: “I’m sorry Onee-chan!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAGk968CyAB4
She got ready for another realm shaking blow, aiming to break the shield. Maybe after that, Tatsumaki will be willing to listen.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJa4LJRPIbY
But instead, the elder sister smirked.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAg8DaHRv2MK
Tatsumaki: “Tactile telekinesis, cute.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAMXbDAU9QvE
She reach out for Valkyrie and all of sudden, the vigilante lost all strength and fell to earth.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAoW6caNX4k
But Tatsumaki wasn’t done. She used telekinesis to grab her and hammer her into the gym floor.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOo3qYqm43J
Every slam, making Valkyrie flicker in and out of existence. After the 8th slam, Tatsumaki stopped and landed on Valkyrie’s chest.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA0wGcKFERFb
Tatsumaki: “Now, answer my question. Who are you?!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAcKgqyUvuVj
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5h9y6crTHk
The vigilante looked to her beloved master, still barely alive. Fubuki was staring at the situation with equally parts shock and worry.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWKCMKchoR8
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA6dtJecT0Qc
Tatsumaki: “Don’t look at them.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAD8uYGcUnaZ
Valkyrie felt her face forced to look up at Tatsumaki.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAnrpY0mtf4q
Tatsumaki: “Answer me.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAizQY7zp0X6
Valkyrie swallowed the lump in her chest and said the first thing that came to mind.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAIojhE0krxn
Valkyrie: “Family.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUDJh7YE1yb
Wrong answer.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAvOTb40eUfS
The foot on her chest suddenly became one-hundred times heavier. For the first time ever, Valkyrie cried out in pain.
289Please respect copyright.PENANANHMKvkowyJ
Tatsumaki: “Liar.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANACLFBOi7Jr7
Unable to stand this cruelty any longer, All Might attempted to intervene.
289Please respect copyright.PENANApd3D9jaPcV
All Might: “Tatsumaki that’s-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA6X9pTlAkrQ
Tatsumaki: “Quiet. This doesn’t concern you.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA00MYTixlBz
All Might bit his tongue but Fubuki didn’t.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAO038QrrUTH
Fubuki: “Big sister…you’re going too far.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAASEDpMDbCg
Tatsumaki: “What!? You’re defending her too? Our mother doesn’t have any other children so that could only mean-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA9DwtyRQzNY
Valkyrie: “Izuku-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAMUIzFkdIM
Everyone looked back to the weak Valkyrie, something many didn’t think they’d say, and waited for her next words.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAPVRpjKmco0
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan…created me…I’m…a mental construct…onee-chan.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA6kXJgd76Fr
And just like that, the tension disappeared. Only confusion and surprise is left.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAGAPqCtp31H
All eyes return to the fading boy.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAGd5XHNxp2E
Nezu: “Fascinating…”
289Please respect copyright.PENANALt0FlFM18h
Valkyrie: “I…can…help…onii-chan…”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxe0HdfJvH6
Tatsumaki looked back down at the woman.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAN5gaKK1DKD
Tatsumaki: “How?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANANKlFvhMT1V
Valkyrie: “Return some…power…that was…given…”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA1PZM5401Rw
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAwQM1FokGHb
Tatsumaki: “If you’re lying, even All Might won’t save you from me.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5xZRegbczR
Tatsumaki lifted her foot and used her powers to help Valkyrie over to Izuku.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAjKtCOMiRXX
Tatsumaki: “Recovery Girl, how…is he?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANART7UY3gly9
Recovery Girl: “Let’s just say, I hope Valkyrie can help.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWbpTj9reo2
Tatsumaki: “…Go on.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUR0wjztu5R
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ9PO9DDjx
Tired, she sat down and took a breather.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAiIHNiQ7Vuk
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAIRoSP4l1it
All Might turned to Valkyrie.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAibtFuc4YUp
All Might: “Thank you for saving young Midoriya.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAwfprnsoQaU
She took a moment before nodding.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAQEizNT4WG
Nezu: “Now that Midoriya is on the road to recovery, may I ask one of you to fix the damage.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANApjEIAORoco
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJx30oxhJAx
All Might: “I’ll help clean up. It’s the least I can do.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAL8qtLUsXmU
Tatsumaki: “I-I’ll help too.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxMVjunio62
Nezu: “Thank you. I assume you three can look after Midoriya?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAu1m9FLjKjw
Fubuki: “Of course.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAeA9bjcS2tU
Valkyrie: “Nh.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA0bAD2ISyVE
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%”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAtxopOMSM4U
Nezu: “Excellent, I’ll…make sure the media doesn’t get any funny ideas due to the damage.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAoMgDuw2t0W
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5TaTQJwMxS
The whole story left Izuku speechless but the most surprising thing was Valkyrie. Not only can she talk but she was…his mental construct?
289Please respect copyright.PENANAW5CP6MhQo1
He looks to her, long since returned to her normal form, and asked the obvious.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOGvx7if81h
Izuku: “But how? I don’t remember doing that.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAMuluVRUdyh
Tatsumaki: “That’s what I would like to know.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAzvxH1NI0Ad
Fubuki: “But she did heal Izuku.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAdPrej6pR0k
Tatsumaki: “I know! It’s just…this is a lot to take in. She still could be lying.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAKyQX5kNIsB
Fubuki: “Can you prove it to us Valkyrie? That you are…our brother’s creation.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAiNEI9mx54d
The vigilante looked at her family and nodded. She looked at Izuku with some startling intensity.
289Please respect copyright.PENANABpwS0Yq9Hc
Valkyrie: “Share memories.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA4LnV97bLSY
Izuku: “Okay…how?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAPn7teR6TZc
Valkyrie got closer to her brother and cupped his face. Slowly, deliberately, she inched her face closer to his.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZOp63s0z1N
289Please respect copyright.PENANAG0uFii5R6r
Tatsumaki: "W-w-w-w-w-w-what are you doing?"
289Please respect copyright.PENANAdpc768WS0d
289Please respect copyright.PENANAT16jtRPzuB
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuu9Fvp9Fq1
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVBzLyJjfer
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAreY2zCfzFN
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhY9NHtfjRN
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJrs2Cxzsri
289Please respect copyright.PENANA1LoyFx2Qgn
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAXrPJQ6DwdD
289Please respect copyright.PENANA1F8PlRgdWn
With a start, he realized Valkyrie was sharing her memories with him.

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.

289Please respect copyright.PENANAJkVjEATfa4
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhxjLcOXSSs
289Please respect copyright.PENANADELptTOvr7
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAHdkfiglqcD
289Please respect copyright.PENANA3TeUFeTpkA
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA1ENdlW81X4
289Please respect copyright.PENANAraI5x5J5Tq
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.

289Please respect copyright.PENANAWvk3Q4CQuH
'A super-cool hero like that. Can I… be a Hero, too?'
289Please respect copyright.PENANABKvaC6BnkQ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAYVwq0DYiRx
Izuku heard himself ask, his voice youthful but full of sorrow.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAj8TZkTLHHG
289Please respect copyright.PENANAMQifaZlA0P
'Hero. I will be a Hero for you, onii-chan.'
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkAP5rMTK1H
289Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uqb1tbomM
Something answered.
289Please respect copyright.PENANATNLpcjTT1p
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUrx1kMRHkO
Izuku pulled away, gasping horribly.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAW3B4kccy6p

Fubuki: “Izuku, are you alright?!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAx8bmKc8LpJ

Tatsumaki: “Valkyrie…if you hurt him-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAGVNiWIR8To
289Please respect copyright.PENANAHt8jLdLlp7
Izuku: “No! She…was telling the truth. I just saw all ten years of her memories.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAvNqg1gQwVl
289Please respect copyright.PENANApqXbw11x1Y
The two sisters’ eyes widen before looking back to Valkyrie. She waited expectantly for the final verdict.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJlcfEbvMSN
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAIKOS1MgW0
As for Izuku, he was still breathing hard, taking deep breaths and nearly hyperventilating at the information overload.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA0yRv9cN64z
289Please respect copyright.PENANAbB3rA1cPuA
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAMPa1fJFwNf
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOUg3rTgmOa
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVGGEILEAlG
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxrBLpLABSe
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?"
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuLurwaPPum
289Please respect copyright.PENANAzMxGhlYPrP
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..."
289Please respect copyright.PENANA77YKNmGFIz
289Please respect copyright.PENANA784l3hkB87
He had created her. She was yet another part of his Quirk. Then it hit him.
289Please respect copyright.PENANACSDBZSGcHq
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZTQ8fGvCpJ
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAnkVBuF9geQ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAefo6TY1akN
Considering the dangers she faced and her surprisingly shy nature, he got it. The young boy reached out with a single, shivering hand.
289Please respect copyright.PENANATOx6rKiBcn
289Please respect copyright.PENANAM6kApZIdw0
She put her hand onto his without hesitation and their fingers interlocked for a single, beautiful moment before he pulled away.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAPNd36R7fwN
289Please respect copyright.PENANAf7X92nK36m
Izuku: "I... don't know what to say."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAU5S4JzBY4V

Izuku: "You must have been so lonely."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVlumZhwRSW

Valkyrie blinked…and blinked again. Tears flowed as she shrunk down to her child form and tackled her brother.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA0ThvsasAzF
289Please respect copyright.PENANACmXv7vFnpY
Valkyrie: “Onii-chan!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAx7vKOxl6J0
289Please respect copyright.PENANAssJVf5tqoP
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAQWWpnQMwIp
289Please respect copyright.PENANAebdIAfWT0Z
Izuku: "I guess… that makes you my little sister?”

Tatsumaki: “Okay, that’s it.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAvFMb0SYr0b

Valkyrie: “Oneeeeee!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAaTsOF0We4

Izuku: “Is it that bad?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAx1uV5EAarF
289Please respect copyright.PENANAYZiXHkv2D8
Tatsumaki: “Look, I believe that Valkyrie is your mental creation. But calling her my…little sister? Having her apart of our family?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAR1v5oiue1W
289Please respect copyright.PENANA8o0dUvQmxP
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…
289Please respect copyright.PENANAmy9TyxYbG9
289Please respect copyright.PENANArtxx67UGqq
Fubuki: “I agree, we don’t need her.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAnSdofKT5RJ

Their eyes widen slightly at Fubuki’s uncharacteristically cold words.

289Please respect copyright.PENANA4geOGLCMiK

Tatsumaki: “Where do you live Valkyrie?”

289Please respect copyright.PENANAykkSfeYJqY

Tatsumaki: “…Okay.”

289Please respect copyright.PENANAaRhouQFmb2

289Please respect copyright.PENANA5g4eUsOZ2m
289Please respect copyright.PENANABQpO235N8U
Fubuki bit her lip, understanding what her sister was trying to explain. But a corner of her mind still whispers.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuUN362TgSg

‘This is just the first step. You’ll be replaced. You’ll be left behind.’
289Please respect copyright.PENANAFXN2MzyzGr

289Please respect copyright.PENANAChphU9xmkX
289Please respect copyright.PENANAvU5EkqihSh
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA4WXdouAwEr
289Please respect copyright.PENANAFOzPEaSClM
Nezu: “You’re quirk is truly incredible. I would love to-”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxmle3zMdh8
289Please respect copyright.PENANAwfFtEyHhlb
Tatsumaki’s cold stare shut down any more ideas for experimentation.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAfBvXgHLGtS
289Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rh72m5cWp
Nezu: “Nevermind.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAY2gdescfVA

Izuku got up and bowed to the principal.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAXdaRKRx6Xh

Nezu sighed, lamenting the hectic day and the media frenzy.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAQC9yBXgjns
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUuAnmNzdTI

289Please respect copyright.PENANA28qjd61l2p

289Please respect copyright.PENANARz7No8ycZ5
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVkP9B4tpBh

289Please respect copyright.PENANAFP6iMxm1Br
289Please respect copyright.PENANA0HAqiy4ZSC
All Might: “That’s an excellent idea. Her experience in the field could even rub off on her fellow students.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAfoAVT2ZYFJ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOHISxeL4sP
All Might: ‘And she’ll become a licensed hero, instead of staying a Vigilante.’

Izuku: “Thank you Nezu!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUx1RbWbUbu
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOBLMmQLykh
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.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAR0k5zH2sVk
289Please respect copyright.PENANAke6uNdPhM3
Unlike your sisters didn’t need to be said. Fubuki shrunk further into the background.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA8EUenggLyT
289Please respect copyright.PENANASzKdacu1ZB
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."
289Please respect copyright.PENANALLXG6xhYjG
289Please respect copyright.PENANARxlQil3MMi
Izuku almost started to drool over the idea of finding himself some centuries-old stories to read.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAQs9pkKoM35
289Please respect copyright.PENANAfgGbChi5qp
Izuku: "I will! Thank you for the advice, principal!"
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuJSmmQ3wSB

289Please respect copyright.PENANA6H0nrV21hM
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWAwSElSS3F
He turned to the man in question as Izuku went scarlet.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAkE4B1U8aWz
289Please respect copyright.PENANAdMJdCR8gQO
Nezu: "Speaking of, you intend to pass One For All to him, don't you?"
289Please respect copyright.PENANALHYTQpZ0d0
289Please respect copyright.PENANApLv4fgzGFt
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."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAzi4XabLH9g
289Please respect copyright.PENANA0GxISLLeyn
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."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVT7ssAhxIm
289Please respect copyright.PENANAUR9wcuHBQl
Tatsumaki and All Might: “What?!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANArYxijuWu0F

Nezu let out a hard sigh and crossed his paws.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAM2xOwlxSFu
289Please respect copyright.PENANA2sLzh3PesS
Nezu: "Remind me again of the story your master told you? Of what happened to her when she first gained One For All."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAFJfHFl3nkP
289Please respect copyright.PENANAZzhvIntLIt
All Might: "Master? Uh… If I recall, the first time she tried to use Float after she got One For All, she…"
289Please respect copyright.PENANAYzcBW8hJwH
289Please respect copyright.PENANAWFUBPL1U7t
He blanched, finally remembering.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAsdDCLWDEFJ

The Midoriya family widen their eyes while Valkyrie got a bit closer to her brother.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAni0N93Mmjx
289Please respect copyright.PENANAsiTHbsC4a8
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?"
289Please respect copyright.PENANAakEXiw0uEb
289Please respect copyright.PENANAh9VXRva5Pv
He asked in a tone that made it very clear the question was rhetorical. Izuku looked pale and clammy at the thought.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAFktMsnqf2n
289Please respect copyright.PENANAAYbYXewp5E
Tatsumaki: “How could you forget that?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAD5fZ6MPtx0
289Please respect copyright.PENANAcbVDgqVP1J
All Might: “It was a long time ago!”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAK9tfUpk7UZ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAW4afRVuknS
Nezu: "Now there’s no guarantee that this would happen. After all, one is hardly a large enough sample size."
289Please respect copyright.PENANACqXNrsbf4I
289Please respect copyright.PENANAzNHrSAb3j9
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."
289Please respect copyright.PENANADEHCOOwTZM
289Please respect copyright.PENANAmtkvmqSXmf
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"
289Please respect copyright.PENANAI3IfAi8t9c
289Please respect copyright.PENANA9K8IGJz6Qt
The Midoriya girls smile at his words.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAufA9RCeeRv
289Please respect copyright.PENANATOnzYcNxu1
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."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAcBWhkj6dAi
289Please respect copyright.PENANACd10leixO2
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."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAT8kA9onCuz
289Please respect copyright.PENANAxTtGqQtwoN
All Might: "He would far surpass me. He could be the greatest symbol this world has ever seen! Greater than me!"
289Please respect copyright.PENANAO5bG3fVJWo
289Please respect copyright.PENANA5iC4soGi9z
Fubuki: “But that’s only if he can control it. It’s too dangerous.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAqnmADGwYCW
289Please respect copyright.PENANABRFrA0rp8p
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."
289Please respect copyright.PENANA8WOSmvqwHZ
289Please respect copyright.PENANApZqEO4Z5bh
Nezu admonished the Greatest Hero, drawing a flinch at the name of his sensei.
289Please respect copyright.PENANACUk1AsBPVG
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhALRfS4TkW
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."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAYdWffFs6kZ
289Please respect copyright.PENANAOLDJwAVzH8
All Might was looking even more deflated than usual. Chiyo spoke up, finally deciding to speak.

Tatsumaki: “We get it! No One For All.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAqe8jaVQVEm

289Please respect copyright.PENANAf0HWNNgU38

Nezu: "I'm sorry Toshinori. I know how extremely happy you were to have found your successor."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAsh3AZ8KkNO
289Please respect copyright.PENANA44uZNVetFd
Izuku had stayed silent as they spoke, and for once, it was him putting his hand on All Might's shoulder.
289Please respect copyright.PENANAolKu9AgzQV
289Please respect copyright.PENANAtwNsbDxt3D
Izuku: "I'm sorry All Might. Looks like I messed things up already."
289Please respect copyright.PENANAY1aZ6Mmgfs

Toshinori smiled before bulking up.
289Please respect copyright.PENANA34SlsLkmGq
289Please respect copyright.PENANAXXfLJOCLfG
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!"
289Please respect copyright.PENANAVGTGgWhja0
289Please respect copyright.PENANAcc9TshyikW
He started laughing a little boisterously.
289Please respect copyright.PENANANRx5SU6V3c
289Please respect copyright.PENANAHDcXNlHfa9
All Might: "I guess this does mean we can cut the physical training out of our schedule though."
289Please respect copyright.PENANACTGUf4zjoc
289Please respect copyright.PENANAhF4UanrkRI
