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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAiHQqdUs1a8
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAruxrWNHoxh
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAyNEdqkqvrm
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
282Please respect copyright.PENANA3XjBFbj6s8
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAUsodhxVnCN
Izuku: “All Might…”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvBY30b1GzT
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAXBZGM8HiIp
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.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAJWE92maBOl
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAOnHSOrCd6c
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAMU9SKJz087
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA3w1r3DOP3D
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.’
282Please respect copyright.PENANABVHgw9tJdi
Later
282Please respect copyright.PENANAl1xoEIQODc
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q82GstYvz
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAZjUy40x4O6
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAqEY588BWOY
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAcNrLOh48Qu
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANApmmBDnikXf
Inko: “…Huh….?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAxuBChSVxs8
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAxxKXM7Zrp5
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAeR0MOcMjDr
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAe5Babyaaba
Inko: “….All Might?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA9stFLWzy5E
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAVnfFEN3Prz
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAA28xSDw9WJ
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA5JACzrpW5s
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA2CPNa6fDDO
Silence and shock.
282Please respect copyright.PENANADWZtmAqT5x
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAoF3YhAu70Z
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAyEryrKVH38
Izuku: “Mom…”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAzqtLVLhN9p
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
282Please respect copyright.PENANA3ixSprMEAG
All Might: “Its this normal?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAY6aOBokoT3
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA9wjKZDfMa2
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAQFNMJPw51n
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAuqcE9jhcLv
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAMLlQBLv5A8
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAGgUZSoaAxO
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAHmeojhNUsq
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
282Please respect copyright.PENANApwpJPdxFp0
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."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAimRd2WjVo9
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYgil7T7bfR
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAIJGBsPWvfm
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…”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA0elXfDLQJr
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
282Please respect copyright.PENANADTYnEkWh5H
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!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAaAA2oZlXV6
Izuku: “I would never!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAf0TiWpg2lz
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAWfB8Msi7Dq
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."
282Please respect copyright.PENANACIVNfxIOne
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAmhDX5G2l4d
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
282Please respect copyright.PENANAWgSGuci6ta
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
282Please respect copyright.PENANALEiE6sRuaJ
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANArDI1GrLJ0Y
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAgFK9HovnLk
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAARsQC6mVuh
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYXDI9RTuUA
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAlGEr9T1ybA
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAz9QEMvvo8A
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAj825RJ5hoL
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANALOJR1zZOrx
Inko: “Hahaha.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZgceZQRDW
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAuHBP4sCSgQ
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAB50RANyNRA
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAHWLx4DRMbx
She turns to All Might.
282Please respect copyright.PENANA3SJrbQfMvR
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAuPgqnGbRGm
Inko: “All Might.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAoV1kck5ItV
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAucYkNFBQ3G
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA68WTnvpexf
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAuYs38J5W3K
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAKcMdwdGxPF
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAq5koUmx9YX
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA5tW92FfbXD
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAgD8k9Bt55a
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAcHHLb5YQB8
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAMe3cXY8S1F
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."
282Please respect copyright.PENANA83kfuweMeR
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANATOO0xSS0eP
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAilUeeFuTNP
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAt6WVxPuNb7
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAZTpAWoduD3
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!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANACSAUgrSBvR
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!"
282Please respect copyright.PENANAgqTXiMSpGg
Izuku: "All Might…"
282Please respect copyright.PENANALNJ510nbEB
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAlRVtkxKh9R
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?"
282Please respect copyright.PENANA5dzjtJkdsX
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
282Please respect copyright.PENANA0c1Ge3Qjry
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANATYJGvCJ5w5
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA9FsTSdEs3E
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAbMCd08NTUd
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?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAlN0Gl3CQY4
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
282Please respect copyright.PENANAs461yeDzDm
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA9AyszobF6m
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAxQVfAHD3ZD
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."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAfoV0FdWrca
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAM2m13WmzlB
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!"
282Please respect copyright.PENANAhwPPD94s8O
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
282Please respect copyright.PENANAi5ISHolLKR
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?"
282Please respect copyright.PENANA1OEYsXJEIK
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
282Please respect copyright.PENANAgvcZMAphRJ
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAUcD2yuRIGt
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."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYkgXJu8aFH
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAx5kJVkcQS0
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."
282Please respect copyright.PENANA87XSgDFX4E
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAsb988TD2wC
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?"
282Please respect copyright.PENANAkS3pVj0bol
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvRdSUXX401
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!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA7gMAiSw3DP
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA4TAPW3MzIj
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAZxicyYydyd
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAmfxL5b4SGG
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."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAeGAXxMuKdZ
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAw5wua3T4rk
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."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAs6o8tfGeqH
Inko: "Ah!"
282Please respect copyright.PENANABVipSDFDk5
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAdstEDdSs1S
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAMywr4xHdma
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAKzTCIyIbJ8
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAZa49VZE1K0
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAHl28JPoKZO
282Please respect copyright.PENANAuEvndrw20p
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
282Please respect copyright.PENANA1WMe1bGD1v
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
282Please respect copyright.PENANAUOibtLfGHo
Inko: "Injured!?"
282Please respect copyright.PENANAhszqkcCZKB
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAiaCNK6haZG
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
282Please respect copyright.PENANA5nEXpUA7gM
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAjjEGWHFEeS
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAFt8t1O9X88
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
282Please respect copyright.PENANArBrZsG7Bit
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
282Please respect copyright.PENANAwOgClUp94U
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
282Please respect copyright.PENANAE03vR8FiKB
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAEukwwQnXdq
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAjxvqm8aKG0
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAVTRXAvkBn3
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAkzB9qdMyiN
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAdwTJVRKGxP
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAwaNIQ5173N
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAhKX5FDUlTz
All Might: "Lift this."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAP6CI1iIjDz
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAClctUr8ccZ
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAHfaLwPhCNz
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAaUlBAZpieb
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.!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANACyPVvJ2FXg
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYfvd1euV62
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvtDBsQFL0E
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvYvSShGUwj
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
282Please respect copyright.PENANAXpiTm7bBmm
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
282Please respect copyright.PENANA4UNgzPK8cR
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANA64lJYAQs14
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
282Please respect copyright.PENANA8X6lnGH7UR
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvNuS3yvdtH
As for Fubuki…
282Please respect copyright.PENANAwLXbXgpLEG
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
282Please respect copyright.PENANAOnFJsHbeL6
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…
282Please respect copyright.PENANAuwojIuY9oT
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
282Please respect copyright.PENANAhp6fmFgnT1
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
282Please respect copyright.PENANApGbNNNVkjA
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAVN8SDk5t3T
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA8azqOhJbQA
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAZjf7MSwqgd
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAlQDQhaMIY1
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?”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAME5JJPpZLG
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAbIOf9aJdaj
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAvYuMKXvfs2
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
282Please respect copyright.PENANAai5YxxVTGE
Fubuki: “Okay.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAwTTTErDbPZ
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!”
282Please respect copyright.PENANA8iJ2yxmahZ
Fubuki: “Right.”
282Please respect copyright.PENANAUC2luJ7igQ
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.
282Please respect copyright.PENANAPVfzTiI28M
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.
