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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAzH0P68ImOa
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAfBjg2r7E7d
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA8FU9YTK2SN
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAcXAUlc2cF0
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAfsVLTIjJuv
Izuku: “All Might…”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAMt32hPR6Er
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAm3xZMWyUMh
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.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAO3J18zHEQD
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAEi44LXuriJ
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAmSUTDpkGqf
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAVHPujANiAv
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.’
372Please respect copyright.PENANAAgfCaAtvwA
Later
372Please respect copyright.PENANAr3OacCv6k1
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANABm2FFYQKpJ
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAxnu4huPUzJ
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANANzdR9DJnml
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAwqsHpTY7Ej
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAMw9Ru2MELM
Inko: “…Huh….?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAtE4bhkllZe
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAUZTuan0BDw
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANADnFAKJKN8L
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAgYNcPOE7CT
Inko: “….All Might?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAk7FRewdy2M
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA4oaHHfY6iv
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAkAmAdyj40B
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA1F8o9GDq2S
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAeFn8FSUY7G
Silence and shock.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAM8bFuexmFs
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAQTxvucqkLF
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANArhpHEUSh6D
Izuku: “Mom…”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAkgI2fh6VJx
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAqXJBrv3rvl
All Might: “Its this normal?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAWWehZRdywb
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA1uGbF2oDX5
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA7VMpUKB2w2
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAFbEoQuJRAP
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAwIAbdrRz6J
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0ICAGDBwm
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAX95fQjgE74
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
372Please respect copyright.PENANA23pky0F170
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."
372Please respect copyright.PENANAhQcKlaG5dm
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAAky24Uwyzl
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAfE9IqYUgXD
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…”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAmIfVYvfDjN
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
372Please respect copyright.PENANALo9stwGuX8
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!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAqMaT23BO8i
Izuku: “I would never!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q8rrrBxIL
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
372Please respect copyright.PENANA6hk2epUUob
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."
372Please respect copyright.PENANA6iWwFZr7Z7
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAPR187RBJjs
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
372Please respect copyright.PENANAEVPvnX96KB
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAoKLRSMvEki
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAACApzVJmtG
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAkm5d0SmV07
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAE76T7ri7lF
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAnoRj7f85QX
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
372Please respect copyright.PENANASZmLo1IFeA
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAoMYVdedn5a
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAmk0K8VqpEa
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAdDxQM3wiwr
Inko: “Hahaha.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAUKh7qjx5Zy
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA0cdFPVOwku
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANANwm8nn6dtD
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAASdjLqQioz
She turns to All Might.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAAgqdy5qBmB
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANASuHLQSPO5e
Inko: “All Might.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAxPtzLYiGJA
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAJLXhnXWNt7
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANADF4NIRGkOd
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAzhHTLawgYq
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAinCtPpOO5w
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
372Please respect copyright.PENANA5vvYisTOSZ
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAd21yOiwsW0
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAL8A7WI4EH9
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
372Please respect copyright.PENANApcYg3WZW2L
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAwXYJwFayfx
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."
372Please respect copyright.PENANASqhjHuBY7s
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAdjsA88ZAPF
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAMaVfb4tMkt
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA46ARs4t6O0
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANASyX13wgSDH
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!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAwmShLpjW5F
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!"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAkRfy4vVuZq
Izuku: "All Might…"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAGzcH5XjXJL
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
372Please respect copyright.PENANALHZH8RIV9c
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?"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAdz4sdgb80d
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAyYUL4NpyeR
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANALhWFtYNcE0
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAywtSeE5Twq
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANArBzvlburqj
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?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAs78N0HtUhO
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
372Please respect copyright.PENANAwUmhROKgEH
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAVqg8pbVVKs
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
372Please respect copyright.PENANA7acWIQ6RUO
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."
372Please respect copyright.PENANAtQi6ZNz6jY
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAiAlFmUSGZz
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!"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAE2WIlx3eKP
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
372Please respect copyright.PENANAvb19lWK6pv
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?"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAUbeJk2oNu1
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
372Please respect copyright.PENANARygGFVP248
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAmoJNSGNLRj
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."
372Please respect copyright.PENANA3GQU1aiRgj
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANANDmPBuTFSt
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."
372Please respect copyright.PENANABdfUMKnla6
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAyjHS0w9J30
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?"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAgXK10Q0hDL
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAf7WB43Kmbe
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!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAB4fv8GYXis
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAOlZSIj3APd
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
372Please respect copyright.PENANA9GRT6QFlly
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAsXNQ4OWeX7
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."
372Please respect copyright.PENANAqT6bMbW3BB
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
372Please respect copyright.PENANA4z39RQNX5p
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."
372Please respect copyright.PENANAIixnUT4RX7
Inko: "Ah!"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAU65WnmRRJj
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA2pd2BKr4qp
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
372Please respect copyright.PENANABkimcTHbJj
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
372Please respect copyright.PENANAGjfQ7DgpgA
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAx9QO9t5Akg
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAK9KyHp86TV
372Please respect copyright.PENANALiWwhOgHLH
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
372Please respect copyright.PENANAMPy7RqC9ey
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAxscdAXDU6G
Inko: "Injured!?"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAdWvr2abYjv
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAjDSHbSheZW
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
372Please respect copyright.PENANAPhs85yDkZK
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAzXTmVuhnV6
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAE8U2JpWsQl
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAujZ6EKW3ia
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
372Please respect copyright.PENANAZXiAzJIn4I
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
372Please respect copyright.PENANA1VQTEXf5pB
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
372Please respect copyright.PENANA6erdbCzc3N
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
372Please respect copyright.PENANA7IIdpJEdS2
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAIHMlCObGPC
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAKL6PsR0xRS
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAX6J27stxSg
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
372Please respect copyright.PENANAppK9hFiQGe
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAyVLaJ5R7zM
All Might: "Lift this."
372Please respect copyright.PENANA2tFujhPYLy
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
372Please respect copyright.PENANAcIm8XY10U2
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAlW8te0hrHr
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANABtRF4a24Xb
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.!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAo3FJ2EQvAZ
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAKkRZZ4N59S
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAArUsgCExRu
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAMS75EPeOX1
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
372Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y4ZuHMsKq
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
372Please respect copyright.PENANA5gqZkjwrn6
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAKSjtNHfbFM
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
372Please respect copyright.PENANAm41m6Hkhno
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAJYF5iEB1TL
As for Fubuki…
372Please respect copyright.PENANALxwh8FhCR2
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
372Please respect copyright.PENANAsWyeCyob48
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…
372Please respect copyright.PENANA00M6MByOUN
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
372Please respect copyright.PENANAIcCfgQRKa4
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
372Please respect copyright.PENANAbby6t4H28G
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA19L4cVE2q4
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA89psPVqFc1
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAeCzB3ueCbM
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA2WdfypLLCV
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?”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA94nhVeOkiI
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANA5dBhvJm2xw
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANARPAk7N9jXs
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
372Please respect copyright.PENANAN9kEo5FMiG
Fubuki: “Okay.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAG6yRjpLksI
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!”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAQONGAbdiHi
Fubuki: “Right.”
372Please respect copyright.PENANAbEr2qD6KTq
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.
372Please respect copyright.PENANAxzv3InPCaH
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.
