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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZIJluXwBlh
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANADuZxm0JquO
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA1FWaESktau
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAExHtqzc2um
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAMsv93W0nyG
Izuku: “All Might…”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA7TbPeGLbNI
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAXUocICveR8
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.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAmEFkB2A0nI
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAABoW0zhc5a
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAWbHX03UVKI
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAjd5paBjZBI
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.’
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaQK1EmdKPc
Later
302Please respect copyright.PENANAIONYFcYkY3
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAgbTsJo1Ukw
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAT9Oc6T4pC8
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAzmAQ0UYOFD
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAvL2RfACEGu
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2onJTIS42e
Inko: “…Huh….?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAdiu80E2xWc
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAfwhsWygcOP
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAS4xnwzB1Cq
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAxpNPvQOBKS
Inko: “….All Might?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZRdnpOijij
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA6nd2yFI5E7
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAWts5l5GHjo
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAMgDEbIcNmT
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA3J1kKZwucV
Silence and shock.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAyZGSkAwSQZ
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAxomLquA6iF
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAy6BZNPtKfL
Izuku: “Mom…”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAJqI8DFaAJL
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAiCiYYZlnv6
All Might: “Its this normal?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2FiaXBZUgC
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAyXxq58V4vJ
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA64cnaWH64s
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZpKWkEFbPw
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1ctkqstmj
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAgu1tm2ZpkV
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZz7Oq308K8
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAnsOr776RYg
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."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAq7yArdasQq
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAnDoJ7a1PmA
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
302Please respect copyright.PENANA4ijkRJF6WC
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…”
302Please respect copyright.PENANABaVLJQvBCR
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAGkazvDcINC
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!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA6bOqYUoDCO
Izuku: “I would never!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANABaIowmM26e
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAGCFkWri5JH
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."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAhXCZtZJ1aE
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAFRg7ehw78I
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
302Please respect copyright.PENANAZev2Qdzyy7
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAjWV7xEu1J8
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANApMnT6b2baw
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAL9a2Cd1S4m
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAQXtc4la8PY
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAAeB5wjVihm
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
302Please respect copyright.PENANA8NFqqB44WV
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAkhpXseKS5j
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAEALyQDDzqN
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANATJRfvAFthm
Inko: “Hahaha.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAg65E8zCy7y
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAeEHDv1M4g5
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAU83VFk3HC9
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2as96deSTz
She turns to All Might.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAKQJCLy3neO
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAh03Dfbfr4t
Inko: “All Might.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAqZp2i45ii3
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA03AnSvdDhj
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANASR5HOO1A10
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANA2BB2T5wioG
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAqVtaOehu7e
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAuWGbo0tiIC
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAuZwowfIUVo
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA4Nz0lQKmOG
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
302Please respect copyright.PENANALK5gmqC8Cd
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAbGZvQX7n0f
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."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAz10WeUZGdP
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAvYbrZrEsR2
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAUaxNo1PA7u
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAwz0y62yHSL
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAWVydYvJHRk
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!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANApGt9naaLi3
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!"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAVsfpchh3pw
Izuku: "All Might…"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAnhyar3kZNU
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAsIxhM9hWEY
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?"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAtAw1LSQ3yU
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAeuklJpF9S5
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAioad37CSSX
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANABtqeJCgOLo
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAFtnTraYf06
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?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAOCvKB6jZlw
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
302Please respect copyright.PENANAxNyTSI7fMc
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAIAaJf6KkGF
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAk9PiKToOWP
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."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAafMS0n6wGH
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAShQe3CXsLa
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!"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAmaRHn4JWis
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
302Please respect copyright.PENANAduEMW2pMa7
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?"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAP7kWnKjx8u
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAB4vLnbfzLy
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAqrINCxQjzx
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."
302Please respect copyright.PENANA74tLNwsxHd
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAIN3jlEcW4q
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."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAuBJBUbxzLg
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAWZzyzQJ27o
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?"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAN20rzzWIzD
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANALgjHLwkzgA
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!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAlqimXiJhXO
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAN6XbEr6MQc
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAM5QQUEAp8W
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANADK8vX1d3Yf
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."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAFiVWmTFCzB
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAobEImsZA7x
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."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAD4Itp8ZsTV
Inko: "Ah!"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAB0IhwO1KKF
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAHdSViIHY5O
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAdxnpkhnS2U
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAHp31q9ONnr
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAAOJ0Vl3dDg
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAgr6toKZok7
302Please respect copyright.PENANAQTa0yOxWYU
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
302Please respect copyright.PENANAXK7TrklrFe
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAI4PSWDtVpQ
Inko: "Injured!?"
302Please respect copyright.PENANA4mDSiI823u
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
302Please respect copyright.PENANA6tWls5m6xo
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
302Please respect copyright.PENANAKYoR6xasJe
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAuE0Nq5ACUj
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAdDKB6xxQUh
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAICUyfNuBSM
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
302Please respect copyright.PENANATdhJQBXvpV
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
302Please respect copyright.PENANArvaakX0MpP
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAEX9ct3sYYi
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAlglUE61fVY
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAHaQtbKxQdG
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAtnYsrG23QS
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ7aXwmOcX
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAgP2oxFsFVX
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAJE2F2X3HBN
All Might: "Lift this."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAiaV5buhDjx
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
302Please respect copyright.PENANADKIyyBDDB9
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANACs7pP6OHin
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAyC0PSDvpE1
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.!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAL885htcUhK
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANACOVTxU0MGE
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAcmOCNey578
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAOWbW7QwtiJ
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAGDJqXht4bh
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAB0EPgCDFPm
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAm3LlBg7Vcf
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
302Please respect copyright.PENANAaF6fiLepCW
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
302Please respect copyright.PENANAPY1PWZryY4
As for Fubuki…
302Please respect copyright.PENANA34DlnfrS91
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
302Please respect copyright.PENANAdBRxSvNasj
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…
302Please respect copyright.PENANAj579EefsU2
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
302Please respect copyright.PENANAmxVKivXk4P
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
302Please respect copyright.PENANAIARBlQxq2M
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAAw9oXjcbdx
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANApX5DBLKx5Q
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANACsvzcrLZ3V
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
302Please respect copyright.PENANA3kJnkT0iMw
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?”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAkt65sXkMVc
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAQoaBNjfsFn
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANArAfloesr0O
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
302Please respect copyright.PENANAVKuWiV2cI2
Fubuki: “Okay.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7F6bojEAF
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!”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAsz72REzxAN
Fubuki: “Right.”
302Please respect copyright.PENANAcClqddSxhe
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.
302Please respect copyright.PENANATRROv6hRiR
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.
