Due to having her bother and the number 1 hero in tow, Tastumaki wanted to take it relatively slow. A bit hard since she couldn’t wait to tell her the good news.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAyc4YCbEgEw
But things got complicated and weird when All Might, someone even Tatsumaki had to respect, exploded in puff a smoke…and turned into a human skeleton.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAEa00qNAkqN
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZeJ4latIv
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA8W4JvVqgNb
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA12A6BWYGS2
Izuku: “All Might…”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAaebNYVRh31
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANArIVWxddrM6
All Might: “No, I’ll explain to you when we’re not flying in the air. And when your sister comes, I’d like to only explain this one more time.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA45f9eGdmef
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAN5N103fPpR
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAFscXC0uI2D
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANATGzpAYBVzQ
Tatsumaki: ‘There’s always some complication. Why couldn’t the rest of the day be a simple celebration with my family. We haven’t had one…in a long time.’
655Please respect copyright.PENANAuKBaYLt0Ez
Later
655Please respect copyright.PENANAPVZaIlw1fN
Inko Midoriya was fretting as she wondered where her son was. She was pacing back and forth, trying to avoid hyperventilating. Her son was almost never this late, and every single time he was, he'd come home with one bruise or another.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAEKx5b2DUVw
It was enough to drive even a mother with a stronger constitution crazy. A rapid knock on the door almost had her jumping out of her skin. She raced to the door, and opened it to see a strange and happy sight.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAA36iY3SHpf
Her eldest Tatsumaki and her son Izuku. She would have pulled them into a hug if it wasn’t for the skeleton human standing behind them.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAsbtYdhaLlf
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAuCTBHAjTSN
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANATf6UEfwDxv
Inko: “…Huh….?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAJPWWFyvYjc
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAr623mohdvn
Tatsumaki gently took her mother hand and led her into the house, all the while regaining her grin from before. All Might and Izuku followed after but Izuku was bit slower. He still couldn’t believe All Might was in his home. This along with getting a quirk was almost enough to make him faint.
655Please respect copyright.PENANACXZ4kVPuEx
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAjBVLgE6w5h
Inko: “….All Might?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAZNNSSbshn0
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAnkeg52PKmA
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAmMMtfAz6JT
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANApyx68a6oqK
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANATBC2TET0nu
Silence and shock.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAtjV62q7zEr
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAD6KrhEWPNl
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAkEkYLdkePl
Izuku: “Mom…”
655Please respect copyright.PENANARrwP5rC6Sr
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA2oduk9IDuJ
All Might: “Its this normal?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANATgc6olcRUC
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAq0pEvsitiq
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAZiz0tTUdPA
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAPZIUmAzUuK
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAgur5GQbOkL
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAeM2IqrjC5s
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAEGu3k67Qkl
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
655Please respect copyright.PENANADwOaidIanZ
All Might: “Our circumstances are different, shonen, but the results are the same. I don't know why your Quirk lay dormant for so long. But it appeared! As for the toe…? Not a clue. I'm not a doctor."
655Please respect copyright.PENANAZjGiAqlNP1
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANATBeuHyizha
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA2g5qMrV0sW
Izuku: “You don’t have to do that Tatsu, I’m…just so…I still can’t believe this is real…I can be a hero…”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA3LS0z3aZd7
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAfPJB6mtZVU
All Might: "This is very real young man. You developed quite a splendid Quirk during that battle. In fact, if it weren't for the look of shock, joy, and wonder on your face as it happened, I would have assumed you had been lying to me about being Quirkless!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAiTHzGGbBHy
Izuku: “I would never!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA4nKXjGFxnD
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
655Please respect copyright.PENANALDCCS69jff
All Might: "Relax. You could never have faked that look on your face. I had… much the same look on mine the first time I used my Quirk."
655Please respect copyright.PENANA50GsjuFjhG
At that moment, the door flung open and a beautiful woman burst into the living room. Fubuki was breathing heavily, like she flew here with all her strength and then some.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA90A27RDcro
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
655Please respect copyright.PENANAPSx4hOXj5R
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4QT8UYaac
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANARIQk7UDRKu
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAEKX0uzBlXO
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANALLCzwfx5n8
Fubuki hugged her precious brother and cried tears of joy. Her brother can finally live out his dream. While that was happening, Inko came back and smiled at the scene.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAz4LOtGi7TO
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAje19mMaMCb
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAhc2e4Ff2OA
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAqKB8R83jLk
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAnFsmwTxMqo
Inko: “Hahaha.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAhWjtJM97yy
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAbEIb1NP6lW
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAYboJ5PSW8i
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAWIbsQHZ8Dm
She turns to All Might.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAlwFedTJGyS
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAgtsxVFFxWc
Inko: “All Might.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAHyrxV3gyWr
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAs5dWh9tTWn
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAiDRm6IMCqO
Everyone, except Inko who made some tea for everyone, found a sit and listened to All Might’s story. He first recapped what happened with Izuku for Fubuki and Inko.
655Please respect copyright.PENANApZKLoTyGXy
Izuku recklessness did get Inko to almost burst in tears again and for Fubuki to scold him. But knowing that his actions managed to inspire All Might of all people, calmed them down.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0at8jlykV
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAcpkPqfTo41
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA9aXCxoQJCN
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA55tiK7DQRg
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAPrwhaeVdhJ
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAytWxs2CC9s
All Might: “That’s related to something I didn’t tell young Midoriya. But the short it is that I think he is worthy enough to inherit my strength."
655Please respect copyright.PENANA0c0RC886ky
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAreRrWoKfTv
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA5kiFLe7cjN
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA3iHbsp4vvW
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAr3iqhODAGd
All Might: “Your brother impressed me far more than I let on. To see a kid with no Quirk racing to certain doom to save someone from their doom…It made me feel like an utter hypocrite. Even after I scolded him and told him to pursue a more realistic dream…he was far more heroic than even me! Meddling where you're not needed… not able… or maybe even not wanted… is the essence of heroism!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAE4Hjvil2Ef
He then turned to Izuku and looked into his tear filled eyes.
All Might: “You bought that child enough time to breathe and gave me the kick in the pants I've needed for the past five years! A hero must always be ready to risk their life to save others! You can not only be a hero… you may one day even surpass me!"
655Please respect copyright.PENANA14FK9cyKGB
Izuku: "All Might…"
655Please respect copyright.PENANAOLdFrw2REu
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA9lPzo2ifmM
All Might: "That is why… I wish to make you my successor! Izuku, Will you accept my power and become the next Symbol of Peace?"
655Please respect copyright.PENANAxIxvzhxLkU
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
655Please respect copyright.PENANApF647p2YR3
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAcowJMfsmDT
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAY6hWCxDcMk
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANACVfgDQEuR7
Tatsumaki: “Too fast, way too much way too soon. Izu just got his quirk and you want to…what do you mean by take your power?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAuE32J0RDvc
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
655Please respect copyright.PENANAAE0jvbaHY3
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANArAI8AAzGeO
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAjvvR5po486
All Might: “You may have noticed, but every time someone asks me what my Quirk is, I always play it off or deflect by telling a joke. The tabloids heavily suspect its 'super strength' or a boosting Quirk. But it's neither of those things. My Quirk… is One For All."
655Please respect copyright.PENANADbAtAOO4LV
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
655Please respect copyright.PENANARXMDYLVoHX
All Might: "I always deflect the question because All Might must be a natural born hero… but One For All… is a Sacred Torch! My master passed it on to me! I was Quirkless…just like you, shonen!"
655Please respect copyright.PENANAIMwKSeabb0
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
655Please respect copyright.PENANASmAQJOiPtq
All Might: "One For All is the ability to store and transfer power. The first person built it up and then passed it on, giving the second one greatly enhanced abilities and strength. They then cultivated it, grew it, and passed it on again. Each time, it grows to make the next wielder stronger than the last! And you, shonen! You are next! What say you?"
655Please respect copyright.PENANAmUSXC1XnmD
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
655Please respect copyright.PENANArtzaTnepkh
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA1RbkGCxVr0
Izuku: "Or right? If I… If I had still been Quirkless, I would have agreed immediately of course… but now…Would that be fair to others? And… how am I supposed to learn my own Quirk? It's completely different from One For All."
655Please respect copyright.PENANAschBkhzubY
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAsTh394wfNi
All Might: “Hahaha, You're not exactly dissuading me, kid. That kind of selfless attitude… you're a perfect successor. Worry not, shonen! Your own Quirk awakening makes things easier on us. You see… even if you're a perfect successor in terms of your sense of justice… your limp-noodle body leaves much to be desired. One For All would rip you apart at the seams if you accepted it now."
655Please respect copyright.PENANA7kaTqp9j1j
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAZye2ERIy6X
All Might: "If you’re family would allow it, you would do hardcore physical training with me over the next ten months. That way, you’ll be ready in time to enroll at U.A. With your quirk awakening, we're not in as much of a hurry on that front. We can dedicate the first few months more towards your own Quirk and then start in on the physical training. So…what do you say, kid?"
655Please respect copyright.PENANA4dbrmPStgy
Izuku thought for a moment. First, he looked to Tatsumaki who gave him a smile of approval. Then he looked behind him to where his recovered mother and sister are. They gave a nod, knowing this is the first step to him achieving his dream.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAS0BfTLDnt0
Izuku: "I'll do it! All Might… I'll be your successor!"
All Might: "EXCELLENT! Let's begin first by determining… just what the hell your Quirk actually is!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANACkaY6vvmVC
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAR8uh64aYHC
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAQFEtknulYz
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAqTTurfvM7v
All Might: "To be honest, I'm not sure. The only thing I can say for certain is that it is likely an Emitter type. Young Midoriya displayed three abilities… though really two of them may just be connected."
655Please respect copyright.PENANAe5B33k6e8W
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA55750UfCAh
All Might: "You enveloped Katsuki Bakugo with a green aura like the one over your own body and easily pulled him out of the slime."
655Please respect copyright.PENANA83AUo4u4vQ
Inko: "Ah!"
655Please respect copyright.PENANAvWtgMP6NXz
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAEwTHFr8GZt
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAj8EJsK9TrD
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
655Please respect copyright.PENANAZWx3Fyromi
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAaFs5B5TAs3
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAQdDAghiKzM
655Please respect copyright.PENANAP4I11dYgaq
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
655Please respect copyright.PENANAet4iDJAFNm
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
655Please respect copyright.PENANAmlfME2z7Po
Inko: "Injured!?"
655Please respect copyright.PENANA5AfyOZNXJi
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAhqQeHV0J85
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
655Please respect copyright.PENANAssV8YmkvSF
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAXI1bKTIpSb
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAK2x9EDmcNL
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAjFMdnZrak3
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
655Please respect copyright.PENANATvo0V5wMSn
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
655Please respect copyright.PENANAsVg4IdLDl2
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAvs3iJz6mLk
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
655Please respect copyright.PENANAjKoxgNMoxD
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAq6Cj72iWJX
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANApwtyBZbzAO
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAIfAtjoUa0q
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
655Please respect copyright.PENANAsr49tIB9zH
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAeTnm7NTzfO
All Might: "Lift this."
655Please respect copyright.PENANAdTfVwz8ggf
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
655Please respect copyright.PENANA2OTUxN4k6s
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAnXNPazfqDc
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAyPcwUt4Aoj
All Might: “They are right, remember what would have happened to your friend had you not intervened. Pull that feeling out and embrace your future! Prove you deserve a place at U.A.!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAUhFcD3ffth
With his sisters and hero cheering him on, how could he do anything but?
His eyes and body began glowing green, which mirrored on the salt shaker. And then it shot up like a rocket, straight through the roof, the floor above them, that roof, and into the stratosphere.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAghbG08mBnf
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAUr18du6Bba
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAx33YL0eHkB
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
655Please respect copyright.PENANAVE5RKjzsRd
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
655Please respect copyright.PENANALTPEkFgLZf
All Might: "Shonen… I said pick it up… not send it into low orbit." Despite his face, he was struggling to contain both his glee and his amusement.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA9BYzHWy3P3
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
655Please respect copyright.PENANAV6ZPpTcJab
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
655Please respect copyright.PENANA0bkyvnPmAF
As for Fubuki…
655Please respect copyright.PENANAhjYXsGf763
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
655Please respect copyright.PENANAeMYg04dybj
Her thoughts drift to what she did Psykos. What she did to catch up to Tatsumaki. To meet expectations and stay ahead. But despite it all, she hasn’t even breached the top 15. Forever 16…
655Please respect copyright.PENANAV4oh7HeHYN
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
655Please respect copyright.PENANALgqyNp7SV3
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
655Please respect copyright.PENANAgzKf4OMUoM
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA4EyTTElhZR
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAI32FWmAO9W
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA76MQVuVJ3D
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
655Please respect copyright.PENANA7sseUdh5Vf
Tatsumaki: “Anyway, it’s been decided that me, you and All-Might will take turns training Izu. We rotate every 3 days so we can train him well without neglecting hero work. Got it?”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAGrc9FVipqf
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAzhop5NJLqw
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAhOUU9GIT4A
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
655Please respect copyright.PENANA8MjeAavJYY
Fubuki: “Okay.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAaN6o4YJkpv
Tatsumaki: “Good, now we all had a very long day. I think we should get some rest. It’s been awhile since we all slept in the same house. But first, we celebrate!”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAolaqmVQbBo
Fubuki: “Right.”
655Please respect copyright.PENANAizmbjvedbu
With that, the day slowed down. All Might left while the Midoriya family had a long overdue celebration. Everyone was full of smiles, for Izuku finally had a shot at becoming a hero. A great shot, considering his power.
655Please respect copyright.PENANAY3KpZhhkHA
But that road will be long and full of terrors. That’s the future however, for now, Izuku can rest easy and go to bed with smile.
