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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAeIBSUUxLEY
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAxVbQPf2T9N
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA8lwTSuSyJn
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAtk9enExi0N
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAK12VYuV0E0
Izuku: “All Might…”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA4AzUqaOtbP
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANADhPJpJFQPZ
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.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANANEpuGjH8vr
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAMipB2zF5B6
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAMRP6e0G27V
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANABk62xUnxP6
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.’
370Please respect copyright.PENANAd7wwRBE20Z
Later
370Please respect copyright.PENANAPiibYffWAX
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAqUfAmHIpRa
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAxVsqRkVjxx
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANASGvrtWwO9M
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANATYUioIwZZg
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA1E6by2K0Pu
Inko: “…Huh….?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANACnv9B1nKe7
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwb8szgQVNB
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAeGsOdr6m6d
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAZmpStY1QRX
Inko: “….All Might?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAW3nDoZjEc3
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA2dzXPCfc0m
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAexpH9kavpV
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAP6fcpNoT7Z
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAT8YsAFWghK
Silence and shock.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA5VMhkwgSEq
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ9I7d6tdO
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAhFDwkAORGi
Izuku: “Mom…”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAbvigTYDmK4
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6lGv2IfK09
All Might: “Its this normal?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAWr1KMlaaSD
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANARDZhsMuLxL
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAUFyY8T8Oy7
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
370Please respect copyright.PENANACdSg17BkDI
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA9zbfeUTbKh
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAQp0DKcdW8H
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAfeoabMRMVa
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAuMRuNs0x6s
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANA54RqSeJCkM
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA1TpQTciiv8
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAcUcmcFooio
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…”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAdQdyNXh3aW
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAx6AScRG4dX
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!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAN9FA7VimMO
Izuku: “I would never!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAbZJlvm98em
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAzlTRww3pGG
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAG5STUzBXZO
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAVuDkmnbCXq
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
370Please respect copyright.PENANAldXOCqmrDc
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAqPc0mTw6Vt
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANArLOhrn27SS
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAQaGgV2smDb
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAm3NhYfbyOZ
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAX4wBG5qZLi
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
370Please respect copyright.PENANArTqhQAdGXX
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAbvG1ulpkKV
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAHC0WWyH8M7
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANASM5zKNmcS3
Inko: “Hahaha.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAadbRQEj0Na
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAOpXMRmDzRh
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAjf3V5vzUxN
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA8kWi3BgdbG
She turns to All Might.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAD1C8KmvauN
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwHeTkIVPUf
Inko: “All Might.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAHvndYGTT2G
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAElWAksb7X1
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAyH3xL9WCh1
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANApzw3YM793A
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAEQiRAFYVxK
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAj1xrqv7zAI
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA95GE5kbEYt
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAlDPsEHnvv5
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAvECxMEdQIT
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAxiTyqvuVrP
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJfOFEsbUXB
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAYBu2HITnfB
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAEulZgQEIMO
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAMeotM2d0jv
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAmbwSBcAiUS
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!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAa0JcEVTAg1
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!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAhSJQyGUaKK
Izuku: "All Might…"
370Please respect copyright.PENANA2E9N7bPyEk
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAWaGM3TwBaT
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?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAF3pZ5raDuX
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAkWzGzW0ef3
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGvUo536rNC
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANApwJkcX2JFM
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJCAeVhhmTQ
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?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANArkQOdGNIcG
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
370Please respect copyright.PENANALAn1juvW5z
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAUIknxIqgbj
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAUkMFftJ5Up
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAdCbsPaIaW6
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAI66aM5DdJy
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!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAACi56P28iQ
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
370Please respect copyright.PENANAEX5i6Yp9W3
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?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAGUPrl7NsZs
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAmaTu1JxyIv
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAwem8hOdbXT
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAuToimPwTf6
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAegOjj7QqM8
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANA3eAOXCHfSa
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXx9aYsd7EK
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?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAYwwKcKWDZq
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA48pPXJ6VqT
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!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAfv0Cnd7zvC
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJngfJPlNMJ
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAIxdLWNRTMV
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANATS4b2OdcpD
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAYpkRimyBNY
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA28jH8uMP5t
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."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAVMfJKChill
Inko: "Ah!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ8SRkH9ep
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANApGFX8ouoC3
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAJLg3z3vpbM
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
370Please respect copyright.PENANA7pWs4vYPTt
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAw8KTJLlV2r
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAIusf6Z3Lyl
370Please respect copyright.PENANAUgXobuBQBH
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
370Please respect copyright.PENANAIYLYVZkN90
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANA7jZcfORoPM
Inko: "Injured!?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAyCRRw1M7Df
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAnaL5KwauiK
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAxYC4vXZGTr
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXhMWKFIa6S
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXiGFkaUXAS
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAzmeG4D2j4X
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
370Please respect copyright.PENANAbicUZe8F1H
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
370Please respect copyright.PENANAVpVdFL1PjM
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAv6fjC6fQ70
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAbUjVs6tNWc
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANADgbDdNjoY4
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAvaX6AoPXoe
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAvb2mJCBOuy
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAtCCDHALPMo
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
370Please respect copyright.PENANASUkSc9gj1q
All Might: "Lift this."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAYD75FiTMLG
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAPmp26f7JoD
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAq79XXQ5wtZ
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAlmlXpD8Hqw
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.!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA08ShyfhXpt
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAXEPY2dttL8
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAnIHUJ8xmA6
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAfDmrTrrSXT
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
370Please respect copyright.PENANAg8NPxxYk13
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
370Please respect copyright.PENANAacewKVt7mD
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z2wd9hhKo
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
370Please respect copyright.PENANACP1WuR04UD
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
370Please respect copyright.PENANABefQuJhyfI
As for Fubuki…
370Please respect copyright.PENANA0FlLmObTBX
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
370Please respect copyright.PENANAnPUFR9QpnM
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…
370Please respect copyright.PENANARK7ylLIgvs
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
370Please respect copyright.PENANApdaR4kcFZ7
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6f5rCdPeCX
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAWwtN8igqhR
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAebABezSbDS
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANApK9s7OBcSm
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6eDKscEuI3
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?”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAmnkGfHOW9e
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAdibOksxwM4
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAVjfg8kFgyk
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
370Please respect copyright.PENANAMg16J6mjMp
Fubuki: “Okay.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA9efWV1H9Xj
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!”
370Please respect copyright.PENANA6L6hXF1WsI
Fubuki: “Right.”
370Please respect copyright.PENANAaTBNqTuS9Q
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.
370Please respect copyright.PENANA1ffMMgBNQ2
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.
