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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAkbvvLAalHG
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAZjZjVyKzyX
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAK6LDt8AZW5
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA3MrnFxClRK
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA1yQkpuKIHD
Izuku: “All Might…”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAJtj1UHlr5p
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAgd42wXTccc
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.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANArdIgjAkiHj
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ2yNCek8P
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA2DJH8l7all
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAHNaFN8aRM8
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.’
386Please respect copyright.PENANAcnWCXUGhWs
Later
386Please respect copyright.PENANAlNLuIw4c4L
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAIWtzdIrVvi
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAOwsOc7aVQu
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAwqerWvczR5
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAcuYwMEq1vG
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA9DZVTyqScA
Inko: “…Huh….?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAqb9qmpKiXt
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAxcn2WhqzNQ
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAXF3ON3TMEf
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAhtFu8GG2vl
Inko: “….All Might?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAfRdpOFhxv0
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANARwDATaG6wk
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
386Please respect copyright.PENANACAMrg2YhYE
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA7KLNLbuHjw
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAdute6EoKwm
Silence and shock.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAdccXvZGkiR
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2YadNwBWW
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAsr1PX62H5m
Izuku: “Mom…”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAOJUtImO7o3
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAmtqMurfIlP
All Might: “Its this normal?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAiA2IL8T4zT
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAbLSDfpLs7s
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAuyWfrQjpWv
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA9fNTWgcO8o
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAA8teCBtpGV
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAVVVCu3V1V6
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAFP22V7dkR4
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAynMlwmdfZh
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."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAc3reCScMXo
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ9DhDIaTr
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAiCrlJsz3Gh
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…”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cagm0QbT4
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAUZNqFUC4vf
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!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAX9amF4UuUi
Izuku: “I would never!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA144b0vKjzW
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAoVosZRtKSg
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."
386Please respect copyright.PENANA1ON25pO2g9
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAjJBsmeFg5J
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
386Please respect copyright.PENANAnrT84EtIuP
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
386Please respect copyright.PENANATqjNWDgad5
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANATcltxRAZhI
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
386Please respect copyright.PENANABBHAYpRNo8
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAiCJfb6P3by
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAXqzP8QkVpZ
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
386Please respect copyright.PENANARgUOsuGqCR
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAikKl5KhOBB
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAqIMyJm8hBn
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAPJKBqQXUBp
Inko: “Hahaha.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAO4Rm38Rhvn
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANADmJxFcgiME
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAaJFcMKwKMZ
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAA6jBycAVQV
She turns to All Might.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAyDwo5T2SlI
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAOb1yZjc04E
Inko: “All Might.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANALeouZ6PXH1
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAPYGRsU9qMi
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAnxK0OHJ7P8
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAdg38kGkIDF
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA6FXuuD0NsO
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAjFTmjswCyA
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA0W18q5sx5J
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAvxqUusrSF9
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAgIV9qPRtJ4
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANApOr5JqiS4x
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."
386Please respect copyright.PENANA1hunb3c1dl
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAORqoYFASWS
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAhJeJAioLsA
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAY8PkrOSyoL
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANALZ6prXQFxJ
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!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAZDCiedyMOf
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!"
386Please respect copyright.PENANARCZPus8LB1
Izuku: "All Might…"
386Please respect copyright.PENANAB1ac1n9U6Q
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAeZKyF3NHgb
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?"
386Please respect copyright.PENANAtTevxeF25e
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAYDazmgQjVj
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANApGdqjvcFNK
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAYvNGk1Ro67
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAXKK4L5hFvr
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?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAywm0tfbmRj
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
386Please respect copyright.PENANA0IGfL6nT65
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAq3q1J8KaSu
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAK3cahGgLo1
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."
386Please respect copyright.PENANANX0wIXTdgQ
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAbDfzV32X2z
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!"
386Please respect copyright.PENANAYnRRGWfZR4
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
386Please respect copyright.PENANAxWec0g1Ysl
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?"
386Please respect copyright.PENANAenDGAE755Q
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
386Please respect copyright.PENANA16GK2boGuz
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAILf9IK8j4w
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."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAyiKlfIyEb4
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAeYBfAT9Anu
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."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAk9FXqYmycw
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAUrBuX49NYW
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?"
386Please respect copyright.PENANA1Dk7eBIFpW
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAatEoFgusMC
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!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAw8sXOfzfms
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAjr7EMz8S0w
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA8tX2eSfSjs
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAO1MbZ2p19t
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."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAlX1hkwpER7
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA5H7G6H2HmA
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."
386Please respect copyright.PENANA1bFG2QoqjM
Inko: "Ah!"
386Please respect copyright.PENANAOlcPjB8W2d
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAVxixR9y86b
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAOpRxnHZBje
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAhP9bZP4hIg
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAloqM8rFQCn
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAImp0FBLpaD
386Please respect copyright.PENANADChyI8Wu0y
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
386Please respect copyright.PENANA0c8buSIST9
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
386Please respect copyright.PENANAqtIDqsyCG5
Inko: "Injured!?"
386Please respect copyright.PENANAnDJkcjl0HS
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAo55LErGy4H
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
386Please respect copyright.PENANA10SxjtA6Ps
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAW4hoR2JXrd
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAWEl0dqFk8n
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAuSdTPRC93L
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
386Please respect copyright.PENANAqAjZ17zGfd
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
386Please respect copyright.PENANAcsgQmKL3G3
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
386Please respect copyright.PENANA55RwYhvFZf
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
386Please respect copyright.PENANA2kRakGkmDv
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAELhj1NBxCG
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAD1QpBrgTRW
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAcvyr9x7DZB
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAYFGEAK1PEt
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAXPiLQUrolD
All Might: "Lift this."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAuU2v1rtnPk
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
386Please respect copyright.PENANABJNJKVcFC4
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAPOBzyuvKko
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAVh1JPvzQlz
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.!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA32FZu0Eva1
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAqDcwcmkONl
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAj2ff9plaBG
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANALFczi8dAdn
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAuq3lIuSV6N
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAPCtf9DuP3K
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAGxGZmDpdPl
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
386Please respect copyright.PENANAc3SqpbB9aw
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAxpuKVZ83d3
As for Fubuki…
386Please respect copyright.PENANAG9i4fw6jiR
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
386Please respect copyright.PENANAdB3n6ne0Ex
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…
386Please respect copyright.PENANAbnutmIQrd4
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
386Please respect copyright.PENANAJcWssbtFZH
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
386Please respect copyright.PENANAXfiOh5wE2c
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAiGsEHGpelC
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9sXGBDHuC
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAvEMdqIm7IK
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAo79jFLdESu
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?”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA7WTngJ2ByU
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANA0K5xWKNAKK
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAfQtZA7JL4n
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
386Please respect copyright.PENANA096yAeLCZY
Fubuki: “Okay.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAOQYXyJiVCI
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!”
386Please respect copyright.PENANAGDSHmgRJjV
Fubuki: “Right.”
386Please respect copyright.PENANArdQEUoqSyc
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.
386Please respect copyright.PENANAIc4E2A2K5c
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.
