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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAyAcqOacF72
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAz3qv4n8dWN
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA5IrzLxcIAl
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAcEsfOoBwCS
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANACtmNFrFBuS
Izuku: “All Might…”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAq5jz8CfdTj
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAwPZohJzjkt
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.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANACLXAQ1VFs4
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAdvnRIdZ3sr
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
255Please respect copyright.PENANA2dOoxw7cMw
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAsmLnZg02ls
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.’
255Please respect copyright.PENANA8P6uR6WAf0
Later
255Please respect copyright.PENANAbb396MbkXA
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAKx2UHblgDa
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAibtUlb6aNb
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAdABdoMzlSX
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAxgaBeOYGYu
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAy8Tli9Ywcc
Inko: “…Huh….?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAHDZJahIk4k
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAODnayrxO65
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAXzG9q7VoA7
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
255Please respect copyright.PENANA5JuZHQ9z7Z
Inko: “….All Might?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAgHUI59lewz
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAvysvCR9i27
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAjQeMyP7iRW
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA4fXbPCAHhd
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAasol4igplB
Silence and shock.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAvrQXGQQeEM
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAclFkGuGtFy
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAqAe4nY0HNJ
Izuku: “Mom…”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAXR1f3LfFVv
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAhxfgeVtoJG
All Might: “Its this normal?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAskTh6laBwH
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANALNV7PbOMwE
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA0qopjBZbdW
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
255Please respect copyright.PENANARpKOCDmF1i
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANARIEtWfXYRP
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANADWaRyKQkhb
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANACzQAQF5e74
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAI0ehvsh3fh
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."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAc5pkWA5IwQ
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANALsIAcwQa6i
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAoWmRYF3blE
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…”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAqDfNsycLj4
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAFYNa7ubemC
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!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAzGCLDf050L
Izuku: “I would never!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANASk7Rov0JcU
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAjhMbSGebrz
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."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ2ClqsojE
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAAkmj6GCCOh
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
255Please respect copyright.PENANAg3AyOfzhh3
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAyJKHsngH8B
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ9Hsk638k
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
255Please respect copyright.PENANA3PX3m9evDT
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAKjCxU3YCjm
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAdf8E2FWyFO
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
255Please respect copyright.PENANALt86flnAsE
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA9IHQkKVHQL
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAh8K9zCndAE
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAMoxXsscvvn
Inko: “Hahaha.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAGn3tezuJsG
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAP4GfRgtU84
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA2w8sFEOn8i
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAi8BAtLivOu
She turns to All Might.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAjPl2bB6jpl
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAE5Rl8EU7lv
Inko: “All Might.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAz5GVstdONO
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANATwra3OLrB8
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAj6o9JW9Znv
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAXa5NsNZ0UR
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANA1PhKq90uJ7
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
255Please respect copyright.PENANABgZt6elAuL
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAkcvfsgeRNZ
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANABbpBnSyu8G
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ8foZM3CO
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAsHZ9HSJRlP
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."
255Please respect copyright.PENANA3JDpoF2z6w
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAxZHfNdaTNg
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAtVIOhAoE9m
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAdO02OsLADQ
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA4xpS9dv2IE
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!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAdJRyxkdm3y
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!"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAuix4omsQ8o
Izuku: "All Might…"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAPNWZ1GQLS3
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAsvZM40jYUv
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?"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAMbypvZUtt2
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
255Please respect copyright.PENANA6icpVCM0vB
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA27JJOSAdA0
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANALl3LPovjSC
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANARK96hYkYo8
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?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA0WRCVABdJy
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
255Please respect copyright.PENANA3z6xPOmcYP
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA17eg7PWoH5
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
255Please respect copyright.PENANA0WryVFth6x
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."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAROIf6olatc
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAIXPHjfGzOL
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!"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAw9In4gCnU9
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
255Please respect copyright.PENANAJfUUquETRg
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?"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAcTyDPToCFY
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
255Please respect copyright.PENANA84jBpDrqcp
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAscgv9xU7KV
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."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAa1s2tNfs7z
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA4PfBR8gAKY
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."
255Please respect copyright.PENANABxLr6qDRdQ
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAaDUi4HckoL
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?"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAGGl7aodn0I
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANASxn6jkAsRO
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!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAK0dEOkhAUf
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAmfZ4PBqsbt
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
255Please respect copyright.PENANADrHaoByunB
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAaOCJCu0YyB
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."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAbpmF06KTLC
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAYZXSWakiqA
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."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAxFRcoCov3t
Inko: "Ah!"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAEzt37WSF2G
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAKUxc4nObLJ
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAlQpd9skZaK
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAlZq4yBQ1rs
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAmH4KwEbvYI
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAVJdXqDi94T
255Please respect copyright.PENANAWsD2Pa2Uwz
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
255Please respect copyright.PENANA03hwa3S0OE
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAAHC77r6d5q
Inko: "Injured!?"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAFsvir9GwJy
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
255Please respect copyright.PENANA4yNFf6K1di
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAzhTmae2SBu
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAdHui83kFi1
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAi98aaOqHtK
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA8f26fLWauI
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
255Please respect copyright.PENANA7uqkok88Lc
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
255Please respect copyright.PENANAJJvrTF5oHU
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAmgncxB3tmB
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAPIKnlpzjog
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANANkWikdQvLB
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAZOLRyyp81a
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
255Please respect copyright.PENANALhhsyrRPk3
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAbnIG5zQfWT
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAeEIVbpsvFM
All Might: "Lift this."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0k4tvruUL
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAuXX3cyy5Ao
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAjuqufU6mLf
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA9FEHnV8jhl
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.!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAwIeSbXfncC
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAXPmHQxHtZl
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAj6jLagBQQk
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAwz3XZfHph8
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAPpPMyAhiaP
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAXCpkmwyzQ6
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANAk4xSAk2ltc
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
255Please respect copyright.PENANAbEIqSGYDAw
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
255Please respect copyright.PENANA1YYULJmysx
As for Fubuki…
255Please respect copyright.PENANAGNL8pYHN7U
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
255Please respect copyright.PENANA0kYJ4cPn2M
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…
255Please respect copyright.PENANAiUaPgPUahh
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
255Please respect copyright.PENANA0b5rpVcLS8
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
255Please respect copyright.PENANA9VFZUZT3wh
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAedBIaA7nXt
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA8reBwoEXfJ
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAycfmpmOG13
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA7nTLipeBvr
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?”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAZTv6q60QJO
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAX2yUCrdRXw
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAZ69uxREDXZ
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
255Please respect copyright.PENANA37Nvz6cwDD
Fubuki: “Okay.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAQlvTt5KeeB
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!”
255Please respect copyright.PENANAzDAqoOA9OF
Fubuki: “Right.”
255Please respect copyright.PENANA2FJpZVMixH
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.
255Please respect copyright.PENANARk1q0CAPRU
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.
