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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANABuuHs7cPT6
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAyjdDTfer6J
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAtN6I4AZHS1
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAZkmmFsyi5U
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAhW0V27CSRg
Izuku: “All Might…”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAyOcuf5Nvqw
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA2l9YTAMB6m
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.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAdO2d6XK37V
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAGtVGgnL0JL
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAgDKIdl3MYF
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAdUz2ewIui1
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.’
356Please respect copyright.PENANA4farO0mtR3
Later
356Please respect copyright.PENANA17gI3Xe6zI
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAe0WFwu7GJV
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAOmJ3vHMlRA
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAHaf449EoF0
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAtWHOqc299P
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAqCosDBmyRu
Inko: “…Huh….?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAvw3gQoKCZT
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAnxgc1Nz7Mw
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANA2wHoWPCEEy
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAP92uszgU16
Inko: “….All Might?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA9BGs2rv1sn
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAwgsZ2a0wVO
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
356Please respect copyright.PENANA7XrLmv8zjv
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAXJehVv8pTB
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA0jGC8U6hmG
Silence and shock.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAoSRfcmm1r6
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
356Please respect copyright.PENANA8ajPOPVoen
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANANy5gbj0M6w
Izuku: “Mom…”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAzRPZynZN8f
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAcc5MOppX1v
All Might: “Its this normal?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAjRWgNlKnl1
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAvMXdII0afr
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAVxKPhg3Dnj
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
356Please respect copyright.PENANA7xZ8kXwmgZ
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAtBzEZdnFxt
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAp5P6ZQsIWb
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAHeCgVnJucf
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAIXtMXvg6Sp
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."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAB88pMRypTB
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAz2yly2sAcs
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
356Please respect copyright.PENANA3bL7Q3WpF0
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…”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA8WtycD6mWY
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAaz06360tPg
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!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAFYmevlOwxF
Izuku: “I would never!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA7NnHStCqA4
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAJpUjGER5RV
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."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAd8CttDkY63
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAb5AiY8JVdI
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
356Please respect copyright.PENANAbyRyuGqt32
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAjiGVd7d55S
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAdWEW78GNjp
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
356Please respect copyright.PENANARzUiVe4WDM
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAGrDevtjI8R
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANA4lRZZUsptU
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAS7A5JOAiJH
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANARGAk12x1Dd
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAK8rgWxrGn9
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANApiPi62lDyQ
Inko: “Hahaha.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA6M1sJOz6oi
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA8fmuHwCXST
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAOv1GIFh9Xq
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAEvgDWj7lrK
She turns to All Might.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAx28TzhfDmx
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANALFpH3EM1pi
Inko: “All Might.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA07LzKn5Cye
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAFSCBVveCXQ
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAFE2cMH3Ye2
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAQfOTS6WFod
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAuo1zsUP7P7
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAJlOCfLqFbs
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA3K1tOUwxC1
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAAibTV3LX7O
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAq02JrmjDDW
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA9PwcPcUKcB
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."
356Please respect copyright.PENANADZO3Vl7NBA
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAx7JiFVRHSN
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
356Please respect copyright.PENANATtrrQ4aVIg
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAcjfw87uyyS
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA2LX3KcAlJa
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!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAiiiYNOWQWZ
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!"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAQqPXFEtwA9
Izuku: "All Might…"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAdPXmHct1kS
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAR9o0P8rcTQ
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?"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAQYCu2W8EDo
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAw47yYGoUGy
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAw3tMj3hoMI
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAX1PO2VUAsO
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANApg8qEzZ8lC
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?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAnDB04bq4Fi
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
356Please respect copyright.PENANA2tKO8fuxNQ
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAqrdiUVZJtJ
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAOJoRnVaokr
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."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAPrb1ks3pGP
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAWR4swYdmCb
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!"
356Please respect copyright.PENANARiHbu4OIm7
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
356Please respect copyright.PENANAIoKAzLTxF1
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?"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAEWzKybdhwS
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAN65hAWLuzn
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAuwH3uD71ws
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."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAls4XyPTv78
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAtiheAwTLuZ
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."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAsWxviU2Esr
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
356Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vb8Fx82NE
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?"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAj5sJJg2tTQ
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAk6hIeUamfp
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!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAL5up59AerV
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAovJznXHj9n
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAXezfpwndWO
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAR88hNnJoqs
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."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2hFzrcvfS
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
356Please respect copyright.PENANABu5X5TZvbJ
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."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAa1l1kyvBKr
Inko: "Ah!"
356Please respect copyright.PENANABvOLhUSVyI
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANALJm1KV66Ag
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAnERF5SqfvS
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
356Please respect copyright.PENANA7KsIu6M4hg
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAGYPAaIHfk0
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA74HAXSDc64
356Please respect copyright.PENANA3nw49fkNaa
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
356Please respect copyright.PENANAz6jKToJ2sl
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAhOzMe6ViAO
Inko: "Injured!?"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAtNuF0LTSpW
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
356Please respect copyright.PENANABIdmDq8gXR
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAazZeR1cUCD
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAUUIAEBPi7X
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAmE2Y8lVvrz
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
356Please respect copyright.PENANABfmkWucHp9
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
356Please respect copyright.PENANAjktmUixEdB
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
356Please respect copyright.PENANAzs3RJHzYPJ
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAe7YeKFM239
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAaGnqxOlBFf
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAFZmDCgkedM
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAA28ZO9alFy
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAkcCjOBRPmx
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
356Please respect copyright.PENANALiqzYTBe0p
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
356Please respect copyright.PENANA3HLbrCJyhr
All Might: "Lift this."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAPSVlRqjWXx
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAsNoyaqYH5e
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAdphTayh5gX
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAGw5qMHF16I
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.!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANANQfW6ReCfg
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1VYcpc5JL
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
356Please respect copyright.PENANADZtWfR1vBQ
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANANaZM1szp5Q
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAzfsVdTCR9n
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAmTXk9sqwgS
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAh4qLswCPQU
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
356Please respect copyright.PENANAMhcEbLGAYL
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAaFk0kgbXdS
As for Fubuki…
356Please respect copyright.PENANAiP68a6wBWp
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
356Please respect copyright.PENANAKCFEwVnip9
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…
356Please respect copyright.PENANAIGM32FTkT6
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
356Please respect copyright.PENANANG86FnMWem
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
356Please respect copyright.PENANAcIeTOgJIFa
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANApFQP1u7sqQ
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA7xAjX9dk3R
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA9Nv9Sy6Zma
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
356Please respect copyright.PENANA3z8gIwSAwD
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?”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAWK2lkfLWV7
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAxibvVSflWO
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAV6NjTY2XAH
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
356Please respect copyright.PENANAZetI3Vq6EH
Fubuki: “Okay.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAFEOmcyjPyw
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!”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAtbxn1JNyVu
Fubuki: “Right.”
356Please respect copyright.PENANAzIQkEghtcN
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.
356Please respect copyright.PENANAPHZFRyF8LP
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.
