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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAIsqH8vWMkX
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAy3fvnTZgKQ
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAbhFMqz0HTn
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
228Please respect copyright.PENANALH8W3DPV6R
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAX7j8bkX2Rq
Izuku: “All Might…”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAaA5bov5dmt
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANALZqZlLnQxo
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.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANADyxl1dVO2i
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xw920WQ4P
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAYEugfwSOZf
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAYe3uA4uPBJ
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.’
228Please respect copyright.PENANAUMcDPIFQI0
Later
228Please respect copyright.PENANA6SEYaltd3K
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAzgxx6USs8R
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAZbYc8xiz36
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAUFwImF7kCP
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAvrQJea92Ut
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tnp9pA5sY
Inko: “…Huh….?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAWzSLIDgRIt
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkR2K4ELD8p
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA6mamyzar9W
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAe3vCQbPe7M
Inko: “….All Might?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAlwimMNISM5
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANACEcP7X5usy
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA8kvNcBPJdt
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAYyWUKEPMnL
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA1VtspikHN5
Silence and shock.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAgMwj9e3itd
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA9oPDtbG7Cg
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAD6LTWvixCY
Izuku: “Mom…”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAdVqNKLVYfR
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAMKlSbbcrPz
All Might: “Its this normal?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAn8fH8xPZYy
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkcYSvf59EX
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANABv4ME8InGs
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAGnbJ8llEO8
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANArV3Gh0ySjm
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAXyFoNNYCDb
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA6H1vnsg0ug
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAgmnxQgdI3P
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."
228Please respect copyright.PENANA5jqwVh1GTX
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAgbqQlDLKRn
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAKhPB9fP2wZ
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…”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAedEHYZvnZN
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAaJzv7twsla
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!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAwg5APkeB4s
Izuku: “I would never!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAXdFgW0sLjE
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAwLzMrfcO1b
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."
228Please respect copyright.PENANACMyoXs4Zzh
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAvTyCYURslQ
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
228Please respect copyright.PENANACshyoqiM5N
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
228Please respect copyright.PENANABPuO10k8gp
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAFDDJ8KoZls
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
228Please respect copyright.PENANATUp8j8il1O
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAYxvmBjC7fs
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkQRTSWwujS
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
228Please respect copyright.PENANANzswuHe80w
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANASmoa4ijeJn
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAwwRtZPdmWy
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANArTFLdb3unM
Inko: “Hahaha.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAJXYotriKny
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANApVP7ngeR47
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANApUk2hp1imG
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA43d2Y3wxHr
She turns to All Might.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAZP3Y3KHSWE
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAmkFrwG1Qbb
Inko: “All Might.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAvRHXp6t2LS
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAfiKBY5lf3x
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAtioFMQv21Q
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA44vbPKW3pZ
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANApIe47sPPy9
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkwU8OenWsp
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAP8ulFYGm9v
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAnMCesRd7YP
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAA0UXlDg5j7
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAuFINyQWZI6
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."
228Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z2rqVtGYG
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAt2FuQrpA7v
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA8fqLqOpZDT
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAJRhDK6b2Gk
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANATWNcaMjcmB
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!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAvyXjQrWai2
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!"
228Please respect copyright.PENANAlQrbNhgEWP
Izuku: "All Might…"
228Please respect copyright.PENANAebfWvujbK0
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAVq3yDfM0qb
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?"
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkflMi18wJO
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA1VBSkfTSmJ
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAomJfjfUvtm
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAv8u9WDs0er
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAJoxkEjiyLV
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?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAevxXjqGIKL
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
228Please respect copyright.PENANA9bTInu60Fg
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA7jqMi5wkdB
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA64iK36VRM3
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."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAjUOolaV9Jo
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAC4w665FuMr
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!"
228Please respect copyright.PENANAoIFsd0n16f
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
228Please respect copyright.PENANAyoAO9aqUPo
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?"
228Please respect copyright.PENANAy7hEBU821F
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
228Please respect copyright.PENANAZIbkn8okyd
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAoMLGoXeeeW
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."
228Please respect copyright.PENANA4TSKWXFxBL
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANANUoTykn9d0
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."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAs9iXCERCPN
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAdAYkf1MBA3
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?"
228Please respect copyright.PENANA7J8O1MjfkU
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA6pgsr63zpi
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!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAEeKhJUHbGj
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANABzZ93SSZqN
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAyScseCVbDk
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAaEUmOufqOI
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."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAQt5J8CbxQt
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAtKueojrDwk
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."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAP1p6rghUM1
Inko: "Ah!"
228Please respect copyright.PENANA86b5Bgt5K3
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANANsZTjzsGTH
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAfmUTWSZFLv
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAmJNd60tDav
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAhKjH2tJnqd
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAMSOi50hmkG
228Please respect copyright.PENANAZtjm3vtVab
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
228Please respect copyright.PENANAR01h6eAEvp
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
228Please respect copyright.PENANADXv1C2UExw
Inko: "Injured!?"
228Please respect copyright.PENANAiDErM4WLl8
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAD34kNZOt3d
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
228Please respect copyright.PENANANsZz22yWbj
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAMXKY8odUPp
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAXphn5YOvy8
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAoXuodcpGBb
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
228Please respect copyright.PENANAMB5MwcgJlj
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
228Please respect copyright.PENANAzfJHdfiI1Q
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAoNwEmYKYcq
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAxmVsXh7Fsf
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAotZmMwOX0C
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAEB0CkPiBbw
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA6byIuilgpf
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
228Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z0PK8052s
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAtMVGb4INv3
All Might: "Lift this."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAGvfH2J38ph
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAxL2NIyPMzc
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA5oZRWA8fCH
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAtBiCl8uBZE
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.!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAk9Kng9LVYH
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkKtSVTTDGV
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAR5rb8esCzj
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAUIzGGyToVI
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAnB2M3Bj2MD
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAAP5tTmcj7v
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAnuJ5Tz6Cdn
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
228Please respect copyright.PENANAKoZD77iOPZ
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAvPs8m135bk
As for Fubuki…
228Please respect copyright.PENANAnDEWGyFm1u
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
228Please respect copyright.PENANAlIRJcRy5kO
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…
228Please respect copyright.PENANA0QxZmaXl4m
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
228Please respect copyright.PENANA1Gt33CM5Xj
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
228Please respect copyright.PENANAH71OztRz2K
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAsENTyRWB2E
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANALbaHYmo12h
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANADQdVM4Oj7z
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAJK4h8QXIl2
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?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAiSWJzFCCni
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAAseMpXfUJk
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANASQwxzQLTPR
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
228Please respect copyright.PENANAurzm6urFJQ
Fubuki: “Okay.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAEZvTRjuQhV
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!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAlKO3aoGTWz
Fubuki: “Right.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAnqdi4mAf06
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAAazPVyJX3v
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.
