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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAn7rTBxXYBS
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7c76Y1PBq
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAMm6BZTXeHU
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
267Please respect copyright.PENANACcbBQhO91R
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAFeezStB6Mi
Izuku: “All Might…”
267Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y9jKHKPAq
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAq4u52lD81k
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.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANADGoWy4711F
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAanZQ21ozKd
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAxSkT6PGOeX
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAaBEDtLBFHh
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.’
267Please respect copyright.PENANAGjX7NdYPad
Later
267Please respect copyright.PENANAi1N50P7FWQ
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANA7eOXhVim4c
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAdmaONlnhNu
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAKkubMf3dJb
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAagNTR0CmxK
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAzUpnxOsl9e
Inko: “…Huh….?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAGP2uSqHjld
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAZWudzvaXbW
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAeiWPzmsl7p
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAzYkkOQCplU
Inko: “….All Might?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAOykxwDPa3R
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAsVwQ9uFylq
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAuqvpXIpX8g
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAbekeBdRqZ2
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANA9D2s4yEv3I
Silence and shock.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAvTTSZAiqm6
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAOyGJlmgvCV
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAuhvj96Gecx
Izuku: “Mom…”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAjHEFLkRlq3
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAMvzbs3GB1g
All Might: “Its this normal?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAJMQ8kC1PKC
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAT0mB9LxtUF
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAxE1AiyJfQL
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
267Please respect copyright.PENANASMGShcUUsE
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANATFTGMi5XFq
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANA2otjc4GZnb
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAdBI9yrj5gr
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAXX6yJvdhuM
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."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5ziMQG4Sp
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAVhVF6DXkIV
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAlFNcRyraEe
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…”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAdGdl6Cv7Wa
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAuzS7JG1XM7
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!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANA12ab1iDnHt
Izuku: “I would never!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAk58MB7TI7X
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAW5cR7yT13J
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."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAdJtQxzmpBs
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAj0dPiJDCj2
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
267Please respect copyright.PENANAVMEG74GVo9
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAMaPHk2pcek
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANALWej2LQ3pR
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAbUPX7YjjyV
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAuPvEvtXzAc
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANALIs6fKz3hy
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
267Please respect copyright.PENANASpHKbJDb3O
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAgcWtKCKrb8
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAj3vY84OhOx
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAiIBkq1js28
Inko: “Hahaha.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANA0gZ2A4ETt2
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAe7hZ9Qnl8k
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAhCx3js4kgn
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAsQZOvzYFCk
She turns to All Might.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAWr3I3nDLQY
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAHbYUtpBQwt
Inko: “All Might.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAwUHUhCGVQq
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAroSy5XBDpS
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAg34RKDotn1
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAvceENXb2Cp
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAijlR5ylVuS
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAYsmtzNmQ5I
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAwTE7NRbfqh
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANARBIoOgGkYt
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
267Please respect copyright.PENANALiVxKO33B1
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANARh97ZgU3s1
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."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAHAaofUQgAP
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANA0JRg8wlTo4
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAPdJVijXL2k
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANApHc8mxBvms
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAoTtgkiDa3w
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!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANA8wNk1BZGKq
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!"
267Please respect copyright.PENANA40LbOUdcPl
Izuku: "All Might…"
267Please respect copyright.PENANAC9ePQMPUiN
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAFd05zcEZ0I
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?"
267Please respect copyright.PENANA6tuPxCzLXx
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
267Please respect copyright.PENANABeupFPkXQn
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANADwwRbQwj0J
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAT7npJ8ZSVi
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAaJHztSqobI
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?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAGBHnHJEf5K
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
267Please respect copyright.PENANAiNF75v484h
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANA8GeyBLdaFw
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAo5Yk5DGM0V
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."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAhSS7okVwN9
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
267Please respect copyright.PENANA5kyHBAzaTY
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!"
267Please respect copyright.PENANAL8Yi9PlRjP
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
267Please respect copyright.PENANAPabn7YxKFi
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?"
267Please respect copyright.PENANAFEnmqSHONE
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
267Please respect copyright.PENANA2GOFFhWTEy
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAoCvcxdMgfe
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."
267Please respect copyright.PENANApIfzVMpm96
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAB5715ew0rU
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."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAxvbTLnvSwS
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
267Please respect copyright.PENANA1FmakVc2ux
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?"
267Please respect copyright.PENANAs1LHWFZAwM
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAvMQ3l3gfPt
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!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3EN6kUFpg
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANACfkTlTWcmY
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
267Please respect copyright.PENANA1mKxwB4ByU
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANATleUziTkAw
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."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAci4f0iXiKl
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
267Please respect copyright.PENANATi3XFyWRfF
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."
267Please respect copyright.PENANATWsmdjuJ8n
Inko: "Ah!"
267Please respect copyright.PENANAEWu6ZJDhsD
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAbuewOhPUL3
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
267Please respect copyright.PENANA7SG3b1B1Sg
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
267Please respect copyright.PENANA2OpGz8pp7r
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAuflBwnIGyK
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAr3QbsqtQOU
267Please respect copyright.PENANACVLq3DsTV7
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
267Please respect copyright.PENANAhs3fqMUnpT
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
267Please respect copyright.PENANAsFEVUkLumS
Inko: "Injured!?"
267Please respect copyright.PENANAnpasEQ1cOJ
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
267Please respect copyright.PENANA8UB8ECQAcu
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
267Please respect copyright.PENANAXFGjPTwMNM
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAt31mDPveip
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAbhwrNSA98y
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAtLZC00iklV
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
267Please respect copyright.PENANAfyk9YUwg5S
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
267Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ6HURHlAo
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAM72CQnfRda
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAXmSRybWBri
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAnQitqY6ov2
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANA3gpGVY4foN
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAY0Ay3o4LHP
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAVL4XClVKEM
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAZrgKwj9uWQ
All Might: "Lift this."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAZrD1U2X3q7
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
267Please respect copyright.PENANACJ2jMgFB7V
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANASexhGFUb2T
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAn4Y5C1w90G
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.!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAhWB4q8XFEg
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAzaqVyUi0q7
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAC6NCJB2PwX
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAnpKVoXckg5
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
267Please respect copyright.PENANA7NTHnH0Ivr
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAO4rbzVjuPD
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANA3nwP25Ur3m
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
267Please respect copyright.PENANAuXcEXzWRXV
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAaeSrtoZvq5
As for Fubuki…
267Please respect copyright.PENANAkhdK9m6t59
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
267Please respect copyright.PENANAnShdTjPTT1
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…
267Please respect copyright.PENANAnpjYQcpUCf
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
267Please respect copyright.PENANAm7pmf89x7G
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
267Please respect copyright.PENANAuAIvzgIxVF
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAE3cLY0SsPV
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAj7WM7b38Tv
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAzNSJj0ssOp
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAsTYX61y03L
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?”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAttRWspl2jF
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAUGZeiqNRTP
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAk5Z5rftp7Q
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
267Please respect copyright.PENANAWRJp3XXUIj
Fubuki: “Okay.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANApjK8ZfRePZ
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!”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAYjl88BrxlZ
Fubuki: “Right.”
267Please respect copyright.PENANAHzBuAF9wlx
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.
267Please respect copyright.PENANAaCYFLvJBQq
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.
