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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANASRryxgEvWR
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAomnhxZcJyD
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAOnrzFVOrca
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
220Please respect copyright.PENANASnHrQzyhRN
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAJIrM4TShvb
Izuku: “All Might…”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAqyEaFBcWKd
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANALmwZCkzUHz
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.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANACmPK6bkjpY
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA7u7HNjAC6H
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAmJm3sCh7m0
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA0fIyOAdbnQ
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.’
220Please respect copyright.PENANAStgcJqAMcz
Later
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvbwAqBYFaC
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAmWebd01Up8
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAlGbBimE2BQ
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAsoflrD7YnF
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA2rGIMq0ydH
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAGV8wg8dbib
Inko: “…Huh….?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAF8fLkwSmyy
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkpYMIExwWi
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAO60Fg89tHZ
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAoWDuZesUKi
Inko: “….All Might?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANArw8xr6OY0n
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAsVZBjKRFnr
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAZrnrAkRNCE
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA9RpJodvfB0
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAdwl2J5K2Or
Silence and shock.
220Please respect copyright.PENANATJr7bWoAvv
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAEaXtnbntna
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAHfmVtHw6IG
Izuku: “Mom…”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgQbGSCiHKJ
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAz9bSgsSOlX
All Might: “Its this normal?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANACzu3YVXgHq
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAAbPPCEnSCc
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAO8eCD6vHTi
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA4ElWbP5uww
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAXURDlxKooP
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAmVqlmE4UrM
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAGMzslNsGSv
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA2XkvEdlyIX
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."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAxeF1Iawe2p
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAOnUMKUiX20
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAnRbhogo9ff
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…”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAOuMJGZiPoo
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAthPiIbVEDp
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!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAFVrtKYUjGV
Izuku: “I would never!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAsGY57c5sXz
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAPkoiCrLDiv
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."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAWvSireiEKM
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAZyD28sxswT
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
220Please respect copyright.PENANAU7cAUGDOkC
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA9dbRMADkcv
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAqpyRnS5H4y
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAg2vgz7AUPd
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANABWcJTfmZEJ
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkLfPMjxG4J
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA06YKaagyF6
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAiVWx7itc8P
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAaClpZLcb13
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAhVtsPeRNAf
Inko: “Hahaha.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANARlikxemteC
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAxWiSRBKDPE
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANALRueWPfb4f
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAhqS0DKIX0Q
She turns to All Might.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAdfGDQtqgPW
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAhOZA2cvQuV
Inko: “All Might.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA4V2q9Ps5dh
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAk1oSeBdiau
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAK70oDzVQOJ
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAVU1uTnU8Mo
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANANF9M0jOoYX
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAB519qrnTGO
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
220Please respect copyright.PENANApMWo28Pj5c
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA8S3sSsfT7G
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA9c9KMHhaFJ
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAZVOGf4yHd0
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."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAsXcxHfUIqQ
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAfZfXlmma9R
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAVQvOH0lrmM
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5NBxLvkiQ9
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA4JBOPK8Mf7
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!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAWTJder3E3r
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!"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAbDLedpVvmF
Izuku: "All Might…"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAtBokn4ve0c
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAfRRQ2L392s
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?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAJa2D65kWct
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA6MjVOl86iC
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAECAVjyN0D9
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAcDmYUWaKcY
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA76tVS9PlIm
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?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAj6hmIlKb0r
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
220Please respect copyright.PENANA2UdPYOAH8V
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA77bXlczb4w
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA23Ke6Axbdi
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."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5giZNrAgy
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA8eJlAMAH09
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!"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAi3vzNGejTY
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
220Please respect copyright.PENANAhfkSYT1taK
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?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgPzq8XJoS0
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANACGzlnWyxxm
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAXZVVP4prxy
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."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAnJx0vS8Z6D
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAmvSbXvJUF3
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."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAC6Ky1sfF2I
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAnLZomDM2L1
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?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAI4G5yItano
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAO1FE6N4Cyq
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!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAHymPWfRrQS
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAz1AJx6j1Wp
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAlUaiRKwF5X
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAjI4idPT7RS
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."
220Please respect copyright.PENANA6fuhh1jFzt
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAGPb83fn54e
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."
220Please respect copyright.PENANA90O5iG4VAO
Inko: "Ah!"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvGwmaIzmUa
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAoMhKMFhfMF
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAsoiwlZ5qGo
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAM5l12B86Ts
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAlWlQRZYoq3
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAmYtFA5e40z
220Please respect copyright.PENANAseK7evlyOb
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
220Please respect copyright.PENANAxPTmqtpWEO
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkXQB1xWkzT
Inko: "Injured!?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAyw47sCCs3p
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAtmP5NSJsQG
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAUPmniIsVxR
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAdypXA6728m
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ309pMgOK
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAOWkTNsrjqZ
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
220Please respect copyright.PENANAiYuevGLNpc
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
220Please respect copyright.PENANA0k096MAb2P
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
220Please respect copyright.PENANACZZdp3fYkI
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
220Please respect copyright.PENANADKgno57Qlk
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAAPtYaSX4Oi
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAov4VKEY3UZ
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
220Please respect copyright.PENANACt2po4hbN1
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
220Please respect copyright.PENANA7bMI1MYJmv
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA6rop5uNH56
All Might: "Lift this."
220Please respect copyright.PENANA3GS8LQrl8f
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
220Please respect copyright.PENANACEGy9D8gOj
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANA3pPxTqMO1w
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAQJQFtvVAzR
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.!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAoRe09VMnAU
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA09wmGdhwaZ
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAtqvlN68KR7
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkKrnTXbJhT
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgFnOicWV1P
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5QGRocqyAC
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAoxPvjv7M1O
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
220Please respect copyright.PENANARwqV4YTgDh
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAlifSlN4Iy4
As for Fubuki…
220Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZvGfRbiJR
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
220Please respect copyright.PENANAduVp5hMI4h
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…
220Please respect copyright.PENANA04iqc9aXnE
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
220Please respect copyright.PENANANzCgefSwQg
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvcsj8fZvHR
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAXMAvwAv8nC
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAEDjOy4lGC8
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAcMzeX9UEfG
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAUl51f7IFz0
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?”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAXAuMh8PSnT
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAjOoRUHO7Xe
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAHKgEcBI7HN
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
220Please respect copyright.PENANAhrweLx1EQE
Fubuki: “Okay.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAQlFxeLKnPd
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!”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAn6cC6UV2em
Fubuki: “Right.”
220Please respect copyright.PENANAuyv56EV8iN
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.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkwoR0Oz9i9
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.
