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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAetdTlyhTf
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANApJpc4Cypt3
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1dl0CE0gqy
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAnIXzw1IsrM
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYRAUrHPyz8
Izuku: “All Might…”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAVBhPTn09oE
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQvM1wU91oz
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.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7fgBVmswi5
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAuiHaG0xhjp
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8ALADERVmn
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzqmTMRDeDs
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.’
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkHgCCZxP1i
Later
353Please respect copyright.PENANAFhz6mbPdEA
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUvoSua6ckK
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAr56R1upsJn
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAmh4RR65o3R
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAtd2EV0vbbC
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJcOG5qJhzF
Inko: “…Huh….?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqALK6EIj40
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANASWpstYmZtO
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANArfD2H82RSC
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAhfbi0onmUX
Inko: “….All Might?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAHc26yBYp7t
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAsocYtRduS3
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEWmpKVlmEg
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYt4sdm7Nyj
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANATdLMCj5QIm
Silence and shock.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdXSPtn7NZV
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxrJDEFefYl
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAC3gDKZELK6
Izuku: “Mom…”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAoMYLsoeAkT
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqnuEJSfzXl
All Might: “Its this normal?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANANEgHGKkFsA
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUS0OfjehJg
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMbMbUeocOx
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA0U9raLHHtg
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANATpg5mVr7Rj
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEmQtzSRwka
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxYPOvwD1KL
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEwr6rIsBvN
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAyf6p0aDXP5
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIOqP7w4wgm
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUJf36sWTQd
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…”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAX4v0B8yt75
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYpAzLtxPdf
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!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAFeXShy9yQe
Izuku: “I would never!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWxuGvnRuMw
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzCaPXTIUJt
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWkA7HNr3Gl
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9tyrgaFhwN
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXAT2Tnjht3
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAHHIgQxPMqt
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQeQbDWaDaz
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
353Please respect copyright.PENANANSjqvXlZaz
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdnE7I93fMH
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9377JLissf
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
353Please respect copyright.PENANALOmCjXxG70
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANApV2xxKihIe
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
353Please respect copyright.PENANALUeBIreu8g
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8fLDaWLWvV
Inko: “Hahaha.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAt79XRxkRwa
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAgb0rvbklmx
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAulpheEBvJv
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAINBxA4Pbv5
She turns to All Might.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEDVv7YPskV
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAtBL0XJBMJR
Inko: “All Might.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5y8cTFFJ7o
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA08yei0CXb9
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAO6d6JT346m
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA2NdYfDuOol
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANArvGTxa5koa
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAPFYUddpS6A
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAFkpWfh1OYO
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAX3yB1GDrYD
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAmbhzRaJTJe
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA2JaeVjBcTz
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAWRMRtQrADv
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANADzkNNJggol
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAtrxWxrYWDE
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAybk2LeMppo
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8TYThasUK8
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!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAV5wRC8jf29
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAwt4F8vUtFw
Izuku: "All Might…"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZDqsSrF2Qb
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAviNONrjPcb
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?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5oXTgHV3YI
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAaVu7rjwIxQ
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9lvteZwyh0
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcuzAcn73VW
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlr8ciPUwOE
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?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANArkuceTVCua
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
353Please respect copyright.PENANAtzWQ1yiC7x
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAG4zzRTdXSY
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdudi4PxeHt
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIckFQP9FC4
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEceiK7Q8jO
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!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAu3aery7sIS
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfPHpL8Oyuz
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?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANA6bYhUNbF9L
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAe0ip3fgXD3
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYKWKl1gH5c
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUCjtZibM1F
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEW3vZrYvA5
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jmin6ABfq
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZAAzAGWALZ
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?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANARjxmzpmRzE
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZNEdy8ysQn
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!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAHUrZAlgZe1
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAuI5utItScn
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9cXhS2wRFe
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJVCrnhCk3o
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAK0BBck4cve
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8m3XFN2CUV
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."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUUJ3YdqNih
Inko: "Ah!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANA6rae4GrqFS
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJcX423wGtO
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqQVDUCYD8J
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
353Please respect copyright.PENANATt9G2Y5ySy
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvDJIe2kvFL
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANArd6l5KKWrH
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxXrIgM6mHR
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
353Please respect copyright.PENANAn2iSPdPi67
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAp4VKVS1s3s
Inko: "Injured!?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAnywqZLXblS
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAmYrcJsvnpf
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzLTBVA2bKb
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA9d8P8nChJQ
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxnYwCNCb9Z
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqnghPYPYbT
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
353Please respect copyright.PENANASj5ZvUyoIp
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
353Please respect copyright.PENANA35Iqto0Ej4
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGG0W5HzlqM
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
353Please respect copyright.PENANArNSa99QV0p
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4JDUr7COFt
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvLnyEdGmpg
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzeOU0Miyi0
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIGhW3ZoCut
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAR9mJy9Ibf0
All Might: "Lift this."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAjMzm7gIVTu
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
353Please respect copyright.PENANA8CJGfFHeUT
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAMMR093ZdZJ
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXmugy3A6WD
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.!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvtnBSuI7pN
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5UMhEzbvZK
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAYcvEp3gQtb
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIyTQW0nDxN
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAei5XRNwtPQ
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
353Please respect copyright.PENANAN7zgWJNX1f
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5M9rug93oX
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcge90uZyNV
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
353Please respect copyright.PENANASLihnX8WGD
As for Fubuki…
353Please respect copyright.PENANATNoxQoZsc3
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
353Please respect copyright.PENANA0LBvxuxZMZ
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…
353Please respect copyright.PENANAAtz5xf8gGR
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
353Please respect copyright.PENANAxqTc7nYTlH
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4temVc4HOB
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQcbbslMoCK
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAIc0obCfIvH
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAskyl1XBrBW
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
353Please respect copyright.PENANACeHkHQHRJU
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?”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAc60tZatBVm
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANABoBAaBwEJM
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANALwBDtNmI9l
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
353Please respect copyright.PENANA6c3LIXyyZd
Fubuki: “Okay.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcBAk1dDLaT
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!”
353Please respect copyright.PENANAnNYnFMPBuL
Fubuki: “Right.”
353Please respect copyright.PENANATJOyfZtleo
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.
353Please respect copyright.PENANATdsTKEEyo1
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.
