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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAf1EWP55hqy
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAe18Ky2Nbtn
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyGIZVO7ilS
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzyj7GvXplv
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAMA3M7nylNk
Izuku: “All Might…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWXUltIgheB
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3VId3so0hc
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcAQ4oDcs5i
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAX5W3FGhyLr
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
335Please respect copyright.PENANACI4ntZwNn6
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqXSnfTZtg0
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.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAaoXkVvYzAd
Later
335Please respect copyright.PENANAx6p5Ts94aN
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvV7eZWg0jX
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAApxsCccRBx
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANADODQZoq5ta
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsw6rzrqL2D
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8lVh5V4atA
Inko: “…Huh….?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmyYqPp4Co9
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAgrMjIuvVEu
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPz8uOWl0MW
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGfWCGRtUIG
Inko: “….All Might?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAJY4Gw4Im8v
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAlWRch4DH5t
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfGpYSYdSR8
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbW8ptyJZli
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANASqS309Plpy
Silence and shock.
335Please respect copyright.PENANADQ7B9nT6JB
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAg9TZelaG9e
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwhsmT0BXbh
Izuku: “Mom…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3h4AW71RWG
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfoNzb1e2Tq
All Might: “Its this normal?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANArtf8aiTpkm
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmBX5oWqStW
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAB5wUkvDtG5
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyJTKjU57o3
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZJcrD8cR8M
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnAz1o0Tz7O
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnJE9fzw8Ap
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAq5GSCwPUxA
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANATcSwz16oVS
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANACRbzBej8WJ
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAry7izxGqTQ
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…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1lWV5PleA4
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGbfUnDV3Vr
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!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAW1AVqceVHu
Izuku: “I would never!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANATByFBIRbHj
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYqw5Sbe4HV
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8qyKEzTsDr
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8AVLDa64pP
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAapzbm7weJn
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
335Please respect copyright.PENANABSjPHWAzZY
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAApWnvZmgJd
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAj90sG5dvf0
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANArrGMASr6sU
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzCtzTazxOm
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzCqsU3cwCD
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnjaNaKsKuC
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAatGXD3ejGq
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqQnFOdngoL
Inko: “Hahaha.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7hs6WqIAfy
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVGc6xdd0vI
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYgAagVA1Sz
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANASoh1373SVC
She turns to All Might.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwMfFJw1vos
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1BWV7zfgOD
Inko: “All Might.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANADsshiLhAHN
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAi4RfzHNvBo
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZvUknchC71
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAgQkkiOBeZF
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9MBIuCKnjm
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYHqWh7j7fj
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANACcko26Lmup
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANARZuAh75y7d
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7UTBi0EiBs
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZ34Evb168T
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGGkwEo5sH5
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtclQ75ePhS
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZcsZ2k1ePi
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAXGNlkYn1MG
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8t5omsbNft
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!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOcbHX88BNt
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!"
335Please respect copyright.PENANARDpJGF0txI
Izuku: "All Might…"
335Please respect copyright.PENANADN5ZJUsnox
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
335Please respect copyright.PENANASYlPQRTnJ2
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?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGnr8u0NWU9
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
335Please respect copyright.PENANASVCyil6QpT
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnx8l5HQudv
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdbDbk7Jghh
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1EA6d1V1ew
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?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAiT4u60QX27
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
335Please respect copyright.PENANARRjzsGFRn5
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfY6LHhBmYA
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAq56M9GYd4G
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFR2QzaYKfn
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAC8yNQEWW7Z
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!"
335Please respect copyright.PENANASbKi3Jp80e
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
335Please respect copyright.PENANA6sAICoC01O
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?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhiz6wrzjf8
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAAytCqNOi2a
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVlHtuMh2ee
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkci8X2H2Ty
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANALAdvPoXopP
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAE9J26td6Kq
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
335Please respect copyright.PENANADLyb9N8r5w
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?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAc4jhQio8Rp
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyJK65oq4tl
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!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA26IyjrLL7x
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnBOjyEIeDO
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA6kFBEyeklx
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1QAxsr7UCq
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANATeOH5LWhwu
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
335Please respect copyright.PENANASogVoAQc4T
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAUqZD2aLBQR
Inko: "Ah!"
335Please respect copyright.PENANARtZhynkvWG
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAlMMmIGG0WL
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHhkZRMWyXI
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPGcnRviOaF
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAngR1nhJWDr
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGraZ2zU5CJ
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4Tthijolbl
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
335Please respect copyright.PENANAlMjH0TXMCI
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9zgQxaAinD
Inko: "Injured!?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKl2tAu0cbm
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGlkVTl7EDU
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPtaLDEO4Ja
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAMbMWRuQtdR
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWp5C0b5uOU
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAlb4nwYJiy7
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyTKenn2Pz3
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfIYxSKGauC
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
335Please respect copyright.PENANASKyGwpBqyN
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
335Please respect copyright.PENANARN1bsgvKFD
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANApRKno04tXO
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANATwP7ioKcKT
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIi2X86laso
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwtY02F3LDk
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOBNe0lidEq
All Might: "Lift this."
335Please respect copyright.PENANA22v4diPSBf
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
335Please respect copyright.PENANArV8cDrRctC
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtlsnPPEQdu
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyq6iHE192T
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.!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtyxjl2W5NV
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAADFF7rS75M
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
335Please respect copyright.PENANANpJIwEl9Hd
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAl4CkXrrzYi
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKwzrNYSinj
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
335Please respect copyright.PENANARTNzaHYDdo
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWH8sLcSRVj
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
335Please respect copyright.PENANACXAAHCSKXx
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
335Please respect copyright.PENANACZ5wqFRYUw
As for Fubuki…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZVBBEOfpY6
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnWE8dPXsXF
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…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAU7iOGgt3FS
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvgUhnFgzlH
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEE4bMXaVaT
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2mqvaTkobD
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA40uXIWzpKR
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAoSw5Nf8lI0
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAM5uvyVpRKF
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?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxObplxkN7u
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYf69eFvlSI
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHESkhOBMCq
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANALs2lXdRqyb
Fubuki: “Okay.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1QbhC76wfg
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!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAs3iZFtp2Zf
Fubuki: “Right.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAww6ycv11RS
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANANXTlp0d5L7
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.
