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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAYqQJ6WTjsL
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAiHFGl4To8b
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA6WwWh6QOh1
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA4LeCioNOOP
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAAzeDiQlHGM
Izuku: “All Might…”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAaLslf5yG3o
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANArXRk9TIljd
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.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHF4vJZOA0Y
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAbOwn7d3SHb
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOuU7Cl4EYw
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANACVcgC3x0sf
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.’
198Please respect copyright.PENANA24j7qpRQ4S
Later
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVZdqB7Fz6Q
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA7adGkGbehA
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAEagvszHt5u
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAjvkvZdXNX6
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQ146Mn9efa
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANALv0HA9soEI
Inko: “…Huh….?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANACgflFVmBtq
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHwub1FA5sJ
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAlwwLMUeYGn
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAw0Ws6zFJbu
Inko: “….All Might?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0VNqSwAvj
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAGHt0D2e3Na
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAtslU9ZR7yG
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWdok3mWIkx
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANALjLCN5uHUm
Silence and shock.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPkt1rXedJd
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAm1Bs7aLr6D
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA92fHnjUH5T
Izuku: “Mom…”
198Please respect copyright.PENANANViMAPJObK
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAYGMXVMLLi6
All Might: “Its this normal?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAh6tPqhBCzg
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAJqqAwsFoIR
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAQYfyVEeD4c
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdnyNHX1t95
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAXeqW716eAj
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA8CZPoANtpk
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAproe6bYPou
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAl1sSXzx111
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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAlUx77IxQRi
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA9IweYI07Yr
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAmKigoW3MW0
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…”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAIjRujiv0EJ
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAjaUbQhQQXI
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!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAlaHFqnEh9y
Izuku: “I would never!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAf4TuomjpDO
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA9MqUn4Vzxy
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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANApHPocU2fkp
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA4sZPEEXzLM
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
198Please respect copyright.PENANATDmGnVqsb2
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
198Please respect copyright.PENANARJUL5QzoKw
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANArj7PhYtZrr
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA29Ed2aXSgr
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAB946LHuMil
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAmtgOBorbii
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHpp6m0nYsC
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAo8rCb3Sbxr
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZWHdb4HjqP
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAKQyZry2JXh
Inko: “Hahaha.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA4thdzrF89V
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAbmPuFUuyd5
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAjsfsDF1Auh
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAhHFgQDfIb2
She turns to All Might.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAYdIFpAUxbW
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAhUrC8bexzU
Inko: “All Might.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVHuVE3VfdM
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANARZkymUEPQV
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5sB8p26tm
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA53kwmLfugX
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7feUWkEcJ
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAkglH9uVixO
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
198Please respect copyright.PENANALm1F2Q534W
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA01QWG54Dxl
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHbvytgKBrP
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANACfvUkOR1lp
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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANArF6z1qx2gt
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANALPzaJhZYoy
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAoEVHaw82Zp
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAD3wkx3Wg67
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAppoVv5IDOJ
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!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA2lOIMYsvB0
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!"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAf9NYuVDkwR
Izuku: "All Might…"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAMiMSSBI6yM
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdMHHgPVRsM
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?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAAU9MD296k5
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAY9d2EI7DSe
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAitIqvVzjWm
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAPAeTMUlH6C
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAoSS68XBEpu
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?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAwjQntO4Yzq
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
198Please respect copyright.PENANAUBq3Nzgf2p
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA7Rm3h79XZZ
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAcilp7QVyrw
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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAfPo0vrx1iM
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA3aqX3nEzqM
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!"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAG2JjN43Cjs
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
198Please respect copyright.PENANARVqgB0X5Uv
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?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANABOxxXaFU15
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANALZjFvhelYY
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOpRQ6CDKLD
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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAE6a0J9nfBB
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHpFbRmHwNH
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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAcUANobQzqI
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAHYbjrmA0Tt
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?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAo4DmWQ3anJ
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdFn36bApUh
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!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAgE3YzDm5i7
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANANrqLEDQUkf
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWlJH5CaVvh
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAIqhMYPmg7b
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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANADPFdoy7F3d
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
198Please respect copyright.PENANACqPed1HLSQ
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."
198Please respect copyright.PENANA8SobBTABCe
Inko: "Ah!"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOrqzbiaz7B
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZXZkWKXHH2
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
198Please respect copyright.PENANA3z8QCzlyKn
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
198Please respect copyright.PENANA3zD2aNB6nw
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAJdlkX3H6y9
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAfxZtR7lFmE
198Please respect copyright.PENANAqhTr8MGNp5
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
198Please respect copyright.PENANAwN0tiHrdmw
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAM6ZMbmiLLW
Inko: "Injured!?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOZfcqw4yMA
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAdhtexLCEia
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAm5TzKqZ4yz
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVzaxwEA0Ht
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAfUUh8cV415
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA2IpIa0hrVI
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
198Please respect copyright.PENANAxu1GwI3DsF
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
198Please respect copyright.PENANAeKHgNjyhhG
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWpBBsT0PSg
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAeB1NozLmQr
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAvB3bKVOVOa
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAkluvF7QNlg
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAZmSOfOnnvv
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAkuH4z3gKyK
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAm5iHMs21H9
All Might: "Lift this."
198Please respect copyright.PENANASbRAkZ4y5V
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAKPxA8DVsKo
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAH6xGAaMwqL
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANApe8NEXV4cE
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.!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAd9QsLfI8yr
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAUSUYZw7dGd
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAVENEER0twn
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAnLSFAZ0DId
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAOLCy3KRh94
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAEyqR5wXZeh
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANABc3oW6OAlh
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
198Please respect copyright.PENANAgdQpgUO5x5
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAKqj8yQan9U
As for Fubuki…
198Please respect copyright.PENANA6TvMEa1gHq
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
198Please respect copyright.PENANATA4952MLG6
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…
198Please respect copyright.PENANAbE0tFOKjF5
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
198Please respect copyright.PENANA5fvpq0699n
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
198Please respect copyright.PENANACqWkLVb2TG
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAGSZUwPl6eQ
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAXCE27IiiQY
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Zrwg2Huw
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
198Please respect copyright.PENANA3YRYW4dd0N
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?”
198Please respect copyright.PENANADHb1YapCme
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAwa3CVNwtez
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAf7UkAXnNVh
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
198Please respect copyright.PENANAXZdXzfeWDT
Fubuki: “Okay.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAexCRTr4kua
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!”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAS38FTqkmKa
Fubuki: “Right.”
198Please respect copyright.PENANAWq5FXxfgUo
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.
198Please respect copyright.PENANAjPil41LekJ
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.
