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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAwzIWQY5FRu
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAYobaUjPhsE
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAWDsBIsKZ8b
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAAqmk03w3gA
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAB4919lMIjb
Izuku: “All Might…”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAEPcp4LPcpB
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAiXbIKoNrYV
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.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAvje3IlFfV1
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAdb2aRWXxMd
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAZ33q2BG71R
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAbAvlE2WIiq
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.’
654Please respect copyright.PENANAzdEyeKCYp1
Later
654Please respect copyright.PENANAwDByrz3l06
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAMAe2VM7I5C
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAvwg6kUfL76
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANASFliHm68Dv
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAam3gKgckBL
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAkjmBvmuTYI
Inko: “…Huh….?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANATr08MkoKon
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAUmmPex0Mc3
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAi57yhYXDNp
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAvKQxVi9c88
Inko: “….All Might?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA6kyz5Py1kF
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAB3pruOlSwP
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAPRGmSP4LjW
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA98MuauJnl6
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA20oTKoCuv5
Silence and shock.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAYqtn6Kh3XZ
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAm2N7mlRPQj
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAmIV9Jx27OX
Izuku: “Mom…”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA9VlZAUlBWq
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAm7bK2urJfO
All Might: “Its this normal?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAzPHPyq4gSz
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAbSF7vJejbO
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAxHWagN1NIW
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
654Please respect copyright.PENANA6ykpRDcQuP
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANArQHjGMBGgo
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAn0Bi8aCDsp
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAGKfHLrCAFK
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
654Please respect copyright.PENANA3lFNyrRgmM
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."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAt8T9dAk3iG
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAZC8jz1Q426
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
654Please respect copyright.PENANA4NfvlEBCXB
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…”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAOIIKyOX4Mt
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAloHeErTzwR
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!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANApzueez9Vfy
Izuku: “I would never!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANACFquf1uytS
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAu2koffDCmF
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."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAQbOuO710Zl
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAPiaSPJCngX
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
654Please respect copyright.PENANAcOBL24JPHb
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
654Please respect copyright.PENANA2O0fAGh5OF
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA4EFjJCq2cd
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAPIQA3N48pu
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAEwBGRZoeK7
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAUqbmydP51o
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAdZQGhYkGzt
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAVYH3cb2BiR
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAbu4x5N4Puk
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAS3vc2F4IKf
Inko: “Hahaha.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAKTbyRTCjVN
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANApLnOYgzedQ
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANArxjUXFxPAB
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAlLYPJVVNQd
She turns to All Might.
654Please respect copyright.PENANARHmyYZGYoX
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAwQHJ3Y0Ndj
Inko: “All Might.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANALhK2XZ1wvL
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAzisn1i5yGz
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAHeAhie5j8y
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAVTgdIXJg7W
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAseHREqLB3A
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAMziIjal3Yq
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAbrOKBy3D7X
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAQifQcECOKR
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAXYCSaHEFrR
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAHXXXtXpdVd
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."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAcSn04wTtN6
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAct3c2rVLGG
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAnZEDrVgizS
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAEtxUF7Nyq2
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANARUqaAnCdUl
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!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAicH3SwLDus
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!"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAGB3uYVVkol
Izuku: "All Might…"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAcFrveHNbtJ
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAKdZEqzPpEA
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?"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAFhtp2ESJeC
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAir6gGsdXtR
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAhHse7423OU
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAbuQMUIXczO
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA9D8c7x7zgg
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?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANALTlKPgV1dZ
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
654Please respect copyright.PENANAsHCCkK5WBw
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAXTHNzRqS0M
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4GUd9PM9a
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."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAsUw7Zy5XwP
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAbJTzCMmwbO
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!"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAQXHRsaLaVx
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
654Please respect copyright.PENANAHtry3xM7zj
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?"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8XIvVSDvk
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ATAM4B80
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
654Please respect copyright.PENANA65TgP4e1kq
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."
654Please respect copyright.PENANA8IjCM6lMXk
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAxWek7Tbmeq
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."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAoUqgKMgOl9
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
654Please respect copyright.PENANA2hxAhvOlnl
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?"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAbfzz7Sb4Om
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAMOJNJCxyUP
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!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAPJOtOs1NgG
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA03alNPHZDJ
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAlszaxBV6qh
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAeEHee06eUI
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."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAW6TOW3j9vG
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
654Please respect copyright.PENANATTuOnrxhU6
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."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAUDgwADBprW
Inko: "Ah!"
654Please respect copyright.PENANASUB68eIm1g
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA5BUJGRGRBT
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAtTigzsi9fv
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAoKbdhBUPVs
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANACQgFNgPeGg
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAdixUwEZxo9
654Please respect copyright.PENANAcaUL7j9Lyb
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
654Please respect copyright.PENANAFeVu3favmB
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAmzu8W56UG8
Inko: "Injured!?"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAz1tUZWrC1u
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAEcQyo4cHgn
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAbO5AagCS4i
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAH9FYNzGgbd
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAf0GpNYyI4q
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAPNqgo0XAQW
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
654Please respect copyright.PENANALbIDT5mitV
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
654Please respect copyright.PENANAWFKJxk5sz3
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAJGggvh2045
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAHLdCMZr1Bu
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAPLzndTkbpz
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAgvKF5bOdf3
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAJXhaclzh3x
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAOrMfFrvDZI
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAkuo9PkSdsn
All Might: "Lift this."
654Please respect copyright.PENANA5bm7QHNgkb
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
654Please respect copyright.PENANA6jyYSyhUTw
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAlale3v2tlT
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAvtuOldwPLm
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.!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAQjHgv0wccn
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAlEJqV6NWWE
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAErZEjaZH2v
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yrw0Y3NuJ
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAw6ZV0RCKjT
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAIuDjCrl3Y7
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAGhBoAZqcc5
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
654Please respect copyright.PENANAchHjl27FwV
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAQHj5ntqVBM
As for Fubuki…
654Please respect copyright.PENANA15KLzAP117
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
654Please respect copyright.PENANAswalq116Av
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…
654Please respect copyright.PENANA43HgooSS92
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
654Please respect copyright.PENANA3zjH2TzH0z
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
654Please respect copyright.PENANAB0k1eluz3b
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAAuvIXtBTcg
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAAejoN5jVLD
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAhgLH7994vF
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA3SzgysjJz7
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?”
654Please respect copyright.PENANApOW0S0tvbX
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA1qyIRN1MYA
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANA919fBy4qG2
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
654Please respect copyright.PENANA5uVS1jyFY8
Fubuki: “Okay.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAKlSFpP7rAk
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!”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAMnbSQCTMLy
Fubuki: “Right.”
654Please respect copyright.PENANAL1qHKZb5WJ
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.
654Please respect copyright.PENANAeies0cJ9tz
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.
