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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANA0L4Q4r9urE
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAdpqXvBpjSx
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAoMX9vG4NZh
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAhcfHuTdwW6
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANArTgTFxZnn8
Izuku: “All Might…”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAExGFyt6wfJ
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAzOvIyTmHBS
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.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAktOnChMFC0
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAzwu9vhQ0dS
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAlIZScmCLJ0
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA5VUzHALigh
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.’
359Please respect copyright.PENANATkN31YJqzW
Later
359Please respect copyright.PENANAbBohLJblV0
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAbH0y92TdaP
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAb2l5wQymtN
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANALavFsxjeIg
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAiyVWcjQEKO
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAKyAErVsLnj
Inko: “…Huh….?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAayxu9743eP
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAXbhbtzddqd
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANADOKYSERihx
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAHec9536YuU
Inko: “….All Might?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA4VJqTFz1vQ
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAnsk4tJbiJ6
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
359Please respect copyright.PENANA1EBTrX0sm3
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA3ukDzrPpmT
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAJJWXVkfwRv
Silence and shock.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAoTnAWlxNFP
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAsUg6TcuCuL
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y5hrUdZhF
Izuku: “Mom…”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAkLEeq8dcZI
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAqn9FTnzi26
All Might: “Its this normal?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAqYLRb6ot88
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAWIVekPRPzo
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAsbr8joRqmX
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAAuSEpJyK2q
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAHL1N1kAvhe
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANANM3JZ7plsQ
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAWjUAhll2OM
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAV0GIqOJrP7
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."
359Please respect copyright.PENANA47KdqI9lFI
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAHOeqNzFbVP
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAYXssLKPGW4
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…”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAdxIp9Ln6Wp
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAY7CgkTAbJP
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!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAUFL9TwZF11
Izuku: “I would never!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA6Vez1TMV0d
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAxIROu2LnLP
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."
359Please respect copyright.PENANAAMPFPDeos2
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANATSkBkZ2Q3S
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
359Please respect copyright.PENANABbDpjQ399Q
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2YX5da8Ig
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAXM98OWzYwh
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAAMEYNjQZza
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA5aceqgyzcA
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAD76NzmLofP
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAW0nly07gMH
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA4enrN3ndcF
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAQFLsYnpbFm
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAbRXxJ9zhuq
Inko: “Hahaha.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAOsFvTblbMX
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAz6sIQChSDg
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAOwrRfjNbNy
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAWZOcNErUjm
She turns to All Might.
359Please respect copyright.PENANA8dMmttxHEd
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA7Syy9EWwCv
Inko: “All Might.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAZdZZ5z4gl8
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAStUdqts1rl
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAMB23C6mucy
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAyJhEB4bgYb
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAbc0GtvjPvS
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAktUPcpfn0N
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAnnDlc7Wfuc
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAUWh0bQILEt
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAKhmROU4lc0
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAhwUwjaHTmu
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."
359Please respect copyright.PENANAOIXqIygYDq
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAUBS34cY9le
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
359Please respect copyright.PENANA5aJkUbzFHE
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAlREaL1lRe6
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAy9toL3kso3
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!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAqM3bso3xuY
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!"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAMoqq6qSZ11
Izuku: "All Might…"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAjFwJ6sIy80
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAPHO5fs0Isg
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?"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAKg24hTcGIn
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
359Please respect copyright.PENANApl7GPmvmSh
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANALVly0vcfc7
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA5SLTMY2Hjb
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAeMzWhlvZ4p
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?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANABCWUAx5cLh
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
359Please respect copyright.PENANA2BFRn2kAYG
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA1gv0gCsTCo
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAdVDllYBp0q
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."
359Please respect copyright.PENANAGnPG8Jepcm
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
359Please respect copyright.PENANA8LAnB4efq5
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!"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAspCvSBsMh4
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
359Please respect copyright.PENANALXZC0dgCzY
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?"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAeKgkF9OgH8
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
359Please respect copyright.PENANA6OzXUVCPhp
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAuwwpgvxYLX
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."
359Please respect copyright.PENANAJlRhn7jtBb
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAnc9PraOCko
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."
359Please respect copyright.PENANACrMD19a3vn
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
359Please respect copyright.PENANA4SruqhGbgy
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?"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAxgnwYmacOp
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANA4xynmhy9NN
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!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAcGU3NgaJQ2
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAbAsbD9Q7fy
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAhVDU4XPBbI
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA8mk5sQy7pc
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."
359Please respect copyright.PENANArQmYfFSjmC
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
359Please respect copyright.PENANABIJr4CAuqG
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."
359Please respect copyright.PENANAbqyRK7X091
Inko: "Ah!"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAVMgWiLQuaC
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANACpHWtWArHm
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAH05SbzvG4L
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
359Please respect copyright.PENANApqrK5HpPon
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAKGIAlbW0uX
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAchgbOK8rRy
359Please respect copyright.PENANAUhl6JS8dub
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
359Please respect copyright.PENANAVSYIRVPZrG
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAyhG2A2S1Rp
Inko: "Injured!?"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAja9k8aFkA5
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAMyfieqLpbN
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
359Please respect copyright.PENANA1MjJnCob6S
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAAero3gModK
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAUXi0iMGhE1
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pi10FmdAQ
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
359Please respect copyright.PENANA97wceoRV6h
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
359Please respect copyright.PENANAVOUpBVfQ1X
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAjVx1sebrHu
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
359Please respect copyright.PENANA42r7h8ePWF
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAAFg6UxF9Ah
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAaQIOL7Mm3x
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAcZgj7vd2cV
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
359Please respect copyright.PENANANKZbl32hMV
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAoekGzFRZJg
All Might: "Lift this."
359Please respect copyright.PENANALVxp2dUIMV
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
359Please respect copyright.PENANAgZZ7qyabp5
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAd4p0G3YywT
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAah0O0moJ9F
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.!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA2L9wuWfMbs
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAtCexsNF0yL
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAhn8RPhX9si
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAVkQ21lxXrw
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
359Please respect copyright.PENANAygc2YhTg7O
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAU5H3K1qm40
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAssK128fLvB
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
359Please respect copyright.PENANA7mrFUfiyCy
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAR9gKhPIkkj
As for Fubuki…
359Please respect copyright.PENANARrsr0hJug0
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
359Please respect copyright.PENANACXrddPwhOS
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…
359Please respect copyright.PENANAzCLXhsP9bF
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
359Please respect copyright.PENANAGd2TRzxi9j
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
359Please respect copyright.PENANAxwrBii6lLa
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA5g6yNYH7Qw
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1kmjsGMmx
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA4Is50HSHqp
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
359Please respect copyright.PENANApDflZmT1vJ
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?”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA9HgPSC4x4Y
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAfgXuxdMrs9
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAkLWzTnSDpc
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
359Please respect copyright.PENANAfW5HAGM2Dw
Fubuki: “Okay.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA2sLs4YbDS7
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!”
359Please respect copyright.PENANAOfiqm7Xhrj
Fubuki: “Right.”
359Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zr6MQpJ6R
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.
359Please respect copyright.PENANAg1NeHOaQyL
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.
