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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANA4nU1Rx82T7
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAGFJVAFdeFE
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAX6f2EZEMkR
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAivWz4DUMbJ
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAMp0f1kTrSC
Izuku: “All Might…”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAPwbQcnpQrk
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA1XQiPt15zz
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.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAFdIQmHeC3a
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA5rO0THF70w
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAl90Byu1zFa
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAVRPHm3cbeb
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.’
369Please respect copyright.PENANAHC8qDL5Kln
Later
369Please respect copyright.PENANAjf4zRG49Kc
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAIYVt4oR4ei
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAhVhOLzkTjA
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAk3FcqK6X8c
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA0JTx5epyMX
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAjTPglxAFlc
Inko: “…Huh….?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAZeSsDJA4mP
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAM8YmT45cUx
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAFAI4sbMh5L
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAGLAixKJIDc
Inko: “….All Might?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANApvTaZWt0Rx
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAzG1j81VApR
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAcIxGlgN8FU
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAjcsYUcJJG9
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAaMc8As58gD
Silence and shock.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAE2mH8fJGFa
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
369Please respect copyright.PENANA0OMkbdMUjW
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAnxioE0lONx
Izuku: “Mom…”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAocCXZkRDYD
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAZuIDmMQQpz
All Might: “Its this normal?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA5D5djDRkPW
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANASpvFUAyqUy
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAiRPq3aOrGe
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAIlJJcgkOK2
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAvhYTwBvJYi
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAkGZLFxoTgM
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANADvDmM1zCDW
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
369Please respect copyright.PENANA7ftFIUOZI1
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."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAJBHfwIecdD
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAy6dji94RmY
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAYio1EJmh8O
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…”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA2MYcVlV3jB
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAfVOWXSt4OH
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!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAC7wTcC36eK
Izuku: “I would never!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA8QWrqHyh45
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAbmWnP3PORU
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."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAw7udKjbmET
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAxJRkgVkCOA
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
369Please respect copyright.PENANAZh08WCNDt8
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
369Please respect copyright.PENANApwNJofs3EX
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAS5RKmekmEh
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAvVKZ5iKt3c
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAIYnNvcVdPN
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANArp0HGcUeiU
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAZdszzusET6
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAhvNEsZuPYL
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAufJunDMxrP
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA0D5oalG29U
Inko: “Hahaha.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAqwcANBvjxv
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANARaHcSlXKlg
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAH4vuR5UT2D
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAQMoPhtO3m4
She turns to All Might.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAemi9v0I7W4
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANApmrBsvZ2z5
Inko: “All Might.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z4SGCRCOj
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANArcGNMk8DWj
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANACAssBUxIk0
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAQSV2PFT7lC
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAxl4fuQmiVe
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAWFBgXbCuae
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAp9J3JrDmZ0
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAwHANFLT7og
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAbHfWO5gDKh
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAeV1ukSZFvf
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."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAj50v6mS9kb
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ684QJRcs
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAUbWwMBhTxj
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAU6hQ3l4iXp
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAPftPr3GbUX
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!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAOkyzEXbMbI
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!"
369Please respect copyright.PENANAsj4r1hLnwP
Izuku: "All Might…"
369Please respect copyright.PENANAL6uOhfVQXA
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAVNWI8b87qG
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?"
369Please respect copyright.PENANAA78Oeyf77t
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAMyUlLErpHn
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAS1EFCsNW4Y
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAM1GfUQyYyT
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAdCVURvdVAj
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?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANANnQNJ2vUkB
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
369Please respect copyright.PENANAqaJNzf2SfB
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAwgm7YrGioA
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAeXGbXJiFIE
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."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAVwzDb3QZTm
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAaheZAsw5G6
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!"
369Please respect copyright.PENANAz5CaNAnRmT
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
369Please respect copyright.PENANAIEOcazUrdQ
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?"
369Please respect copyright.PENANARqoWslzsyY
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
369Please respect copyright.PENANAIgZIXwity1
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAVKAGjinYX4
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."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAK5lxXQ39SO
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAijR85RsCVY
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."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAoEGcDq5quu
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAMA40qDFjLR
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?"
369Please respect copyright.PENANAMF8ZrR1ZQM
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANANjABBFgaTc
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!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAUIBUreIzd8
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANANRP9kYd4HK
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAw78G71EVrd
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAQTSKVWu3Qs
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."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAwFYKZzUE6u
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAhPks7wsC53
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."
369Please respect copyright.PENANApmWmikgGD5
Inko: "Ah!"
369Please respect copyright.PENANA8AlgTK6SP7
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAmXdtJKUoJJ
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAq8EKrSXk0o
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
369Please respect copyright.PENANADRD0gc1d3B
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA3ULmCzrTy7
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA6L1wB8HYt5
369Please respect copyright.PENANA6fTiNnUnOl
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
369Please respect copyright.PENANAfOZ7tnKaxN
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
369Please respect copyright.PENANAKuOXpYkT3K
Inko: "Injured!?"
369Please respect copyright.PENANAi6e5vmZEBw
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
369Please respect copyright.PENANA7sv5jvm9EX
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
369Please respect copyright.PENANADJ0K8z4O6k
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAR5LftNsQkf
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAo0fWwaHPLO
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAXvY2VBaOpQ
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
369Please respect copyright.PENANALEi52xr1oa
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
369Please respect copyright.PENANADQIE40eeNZ
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAo8DuoUr3Xd
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAzHFxFdX3At
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA22xpPkwDN4
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAhWvbWkPxOp
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
369Please respect copyright.PENANASS9uogxSjk
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAEUgW74eijP
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAASuAQGuZ0L
All Might: "Lift this."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAA3Rm1rAoc7
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAAHao5lgsaj
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAvpBE3CcJQu
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAmq7dCFYNgO
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.!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAfnHbIHDwOp
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANALdwTc5FPiP
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAUz4CXtuWOC
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA7LxRgUV3OX
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
369Please respect copyright.PENANArnivHhNYAE
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
369Please respect copyright.PENANA43mVQk4L3h
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANATEz6nJ2XVr
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
369Please respect copyright.PENANAcJiUq8mvPD
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAyTjufjHCm2
As for Fubuki…
369Please respect copyright.PENANA4ieTDtwq5q
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
369Please respect copyright.PENANAqpi6Hx5nbj
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…
369Please respect copyright.PENANA9QzkR41vhK
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
369Please respect copyright.PENANAUAjDbxJRoT
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
369Please respect copyright.PENANA5qkVS7JScm
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAwKH1W6GZ0E
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAQWE0eOrLk6
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAGXycyE8VFh
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
369Please respect copyright.PENANALHHAqHGkPh
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?”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAAuhN9Khyoy
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0iRpYIufM
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAPXIBCfQNbd
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
369Please respect copyright.PENANAWQDiGAcL5U
Fubuki: “Okay.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAO84BuACMoo
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!”
369Please respect copyright.PENANAmIf8dCzuuk
Fubuki: “Right.”
369Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ai5s6vhr9
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.
369Please respect copyright.PENANAy4EEpy8vpV
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.
