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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAfdcgsfAktj
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAkfqixkVDFw
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAAB3aPH48gO
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAMIVqAnLIJB
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAY6vqxzaCEM
Izuku: “All Might…”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA6r0ddimCKF
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAJMVinEUj7b
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.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAFKPJjtxfgo
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1iHQYStpGq
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
285Please respect copyright.PENANA7bSW2TMN0z
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA8o4joLytAw
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.’
285Please respect copyright.PENANAb6FRSbcREr
Later
285Please respect copyright.PENANAUcImYUhF7J
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAzzRZsGlLrn
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAWtUHyEvs2t
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAyAG30lB4or
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA8rpWXKmGTf
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAukO2gZak9e
Inko: “…Huh….?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAc7itTGd6Mh
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANACouuBCewfm
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1isfptjn33
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAVqc5ZCfJem
Inko: “….All Might?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAlwN6KcrYsl
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAYINxaXzgo6
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
285Please respect copyright.PENANATSDBnoY1fX
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAuqRL88cmk7
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAbV1aZqmnTG
Silence and shock.
285Please respect copyright.PENANA3FAXwAtwAx
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAJZPKR6RjdK
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA3SuB6hLra3
Izuku: “Mom…”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAWuPjeZSyDA
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAn70mKS2jfb
All Might: “Its this normal?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAXtlYa6ymqF
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAbVnLjT086m
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAglFuhRIRtW
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
285Please respect copyright.PENANA5Vu2wlhqlb
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAy2fuQEyvTC
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZpRvMn4Ia8
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAk0HfLGioGT
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAKVPzAvcGuQ
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."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAj1Y04eJuej
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZvA8q6IhrY
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4olx5TniG
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…”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAVYMp8iM9LH
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAagL1OJzUag
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!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAA0ffsFHqhB
Izuku: “I would never!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAlprjIjOiIw
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAXAkxTlK6jy
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."
285Please respect copyright.PENANACUX3hLuceh
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANALefU0t8oAx
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
285Please respect copyright.PENANALZxMmU7zGT
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAgRRjRhP2NF
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANATIa8zp4XEn
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
285Please respect copyright.PENANArkDAKiq04p
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAJm2U9AKtKu
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1QOFaSZweX
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAXTall7v6AT
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAsghAB1ZI1w
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAD33rM0R3xd
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAhtsisc2ZOW
Inko: “Hahaha.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAQTZ2ipvo2k
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAyL1hkrspdl
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAVhmm5fi10N
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAo0I8f4WZVK
She turns to All Might.
285Please respect copyright.PENANALi1XAkngg1
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAvZku1tRME8
Inko: “All Might.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAjf8KNeK7tL
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANArUg6DYjFpr
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA5fDrnBoZpZ
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAwlrosNKE2G
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANA3PgoBJUq3w
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAxH6w4tbaGe
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAfdiIRLL4CF
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANARNkjG5OAHK
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAEvC1sFrOxu
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAgKnHeUjj2U
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."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAFaavPIKwji
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAwSqezFUOk7
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
285Please respect copyright.PENANANCvFbcEvOE
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAl5MZG4m2PC
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAfZyi6wcQz0
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!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAqYl9JfJbUw
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!"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAUL9lPYikSq
Izuku: "All Might…"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAvC57l0dVy9
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAI1fptwjT1P
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?"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAkAJHKZCrP4
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
285Please respect copyright.PENANASjz0mx6Y0D
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA6Yk8lg97t6
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAXvgX4Yqj1X
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAGfCKh7k6lH
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?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1clyFYSDHo
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
285Please respect copyright.PENANAKn8Z2CYzPP
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA7KdXUTiQuC
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAzeBuKW0Q4q
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."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAIz2XD1GLXA
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAn0cHpXWkf3
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!"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAiy7AqKMk1y
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
285Please respect copyright.PENANAUu3H2XyB0O
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?"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAs6tdmFMvAa
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAttmvwBDMpP
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAbQNAPjmx5S
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."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAw1vV5HhS0H
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAds2rmxumBm
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."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAA3mBUfsAGu
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAxsio5LHLxg
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?"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAV5uQefRcde
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAgaeGLOsXkw
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!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAcFqyUgyek1
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAtkB1vEGd4l
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAUoJjLMrkm2
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZXkvLITGqI
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."
285Please respect copyright.PENANA5i91yvUTCw
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
285Please respect copyright.PENANARWc7Lf48ec
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."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAThr2845zhp
Inko: "Ah!"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAxdzOjavsno
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANATqTFIQKZo4
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAGelMyVr2qo
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAz6lTih70Cd
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANASMDPW1YmXq
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAniPKY4EH0g
285Please respect copyright.PENANACkcGqlNcUf
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
285Please respect copyright.PENANAiQtOQ0xSi9
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1Aw5iSEmgP
Inko: "Injured!?"
285Please respect copyright.PENANApvm9AXG3wz
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
285Please respect copyright.PENANA0fTOKJeL2k
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAvyiCzTvA66
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAYo1wW9jNVk
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1X2Dr3tDB5
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAl24FuONIYF
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
285Please respect copyright.PENANArJdAVeTYip
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
285Please respect copyright.PENANAjBeiC5nvE1
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAaFFiFTwW3M
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAnBgoy71ZIQ
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAZPEtDGZ6VF
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAxSLHJ97yIE
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAStYfFzThw4
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAexm5oR66gX
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAEcrmke7xLk
All Might: "Lift this."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAgG5zlpjMBq
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
285Please respect copyright.PENANA0NAVDTBqyM
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAEgbKKidu1G
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAtxFntPsMdm
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.!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAB2mgUfXrEp
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANA3epHKExSv0
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAMV7UegX4jZ
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA0YCeqeJRA7
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAaARJXviCVg
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
285Please respect copyright.PENANA0tLbMqC9eQ
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAR9UTWBaiXF
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
285Please respect copyright.PENANAUOSeudaIkW
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
285Please respect copyright.PENANAmWsZdM1HTh
As for Fubuki…
285Please respect copyright.PENANAbHUgcdg27D
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
285Please respect copyright.PENANA1FOQVNa979
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…
285Please respect copyright.PENANA5fQNewvs2y
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
285Please respect copyright.PENANAodaZHcNXwt
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
285Please respect copyright.PENANAkAyecZLINj
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAFvlFGwRV5U
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAFTxHKB3aIj
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA9hPotgBkiw
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA5v6vxjk3CI
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?”
285Please respect copyright.PENANABZuVquZIl0
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAdnvQXNc9vX
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANA0TesHPJpas
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
285Please respect copyright.PENANAPa3HpvPubX
Fubuki: “Okay.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAaX6qw768m6
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!”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAGDbvIFKRC8
Fubuki: “Right.”
285Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ERB6WQx8
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.
285Please respect copyright.PENANArFNXzY5Cbi
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.
