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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANABFYeJ5jdlC
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiGogmRaPYj
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgskOMwIlPc
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAhUlj1wL73o
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAkxUgNR1chE
Izuku: “All Might…”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxS9e7e4NNF
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxmcI5tSsw1
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.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAmBI5Mnk9St
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA5p2jD6zOOS
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
189Please respect copyright.PENANATLoYZiJuKf
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAuYLgD25bGV
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.’
189Please respect copyright.PENANAF6x9TM5KGE
Later
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6iR1jOWB87
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAolu509spuP
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAAOZmyOS8nH
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHYhrh3TjMm
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAsTf4MghKkN
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAPEQ8RIWl7F
Inko: “…Huh….?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAtbNTsJf7x6
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqNxnFLyrVt
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAo3I3jzhRq8
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAepIagNBoiZ
Inko: “….All Might?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcu8b7OjYBI
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA7b9JDxQmAw
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAl24LMCiALg
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcW3ZWn6eeg
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAhCwqxol3qB
Silence and shock.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAryCGY6uARm
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAV1NB0rUHmt
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAG1n3BiCONE
Izuku: “Mom…”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWzGNUDc3V7
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgAHR63mMmc
All Might: “Its this normal?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAMIvM0QxeED
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAuNGw16wxJ6
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA5tpLp94u3v
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
189Please respect copyright.PENANArMm0qbIeyF
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANABxmH8Fop9v
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAeeRigfodYX
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAGGNY9DORkg
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAq6pBHe5fda
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAyXVZxuekIb
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAaU7yK1eUi4
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAefTiysEuzJ
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…”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAPrGNFja3U3
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwUCwoseLaH
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!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAfCEhSBkRBZ
Izuku: “I would never!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAPy8FLysS6B
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAm29FiwYu8G
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiZf74qJWCw
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgX0sbFmsR6
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
189Please respect copyright.PENANA8lAjhyrMkA
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZj1hNpvXqs
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqUuoP46d0W
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXi1hiFVQov
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnEcWuYxlkk
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAk4BR5zPqhf
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAbX2nxEfcw7
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAAgpJsALYb6
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA8mrweThTgT
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAje56i3TQ9O
Inko: “Hahaha.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwWv16jIMvF
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAcFkRb4PYTM
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAvwiXuxY1Ng
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAipYHj9YwUC
She turns to All Might.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAP2CQaW9JHE
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANADTHcoaZQHq
Inko: “All Might.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAGjurJvx4b9
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANArsQMdZ2L8C
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANADdjRZh4FRj
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA8P1hSE2u9F
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAKJW40dVMBy
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
189Please respect copyright.PENANATgb4Pmw0Eb
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAQYxHCscwWO
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAamzAsNtlRI
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAyQBGGeBDfS
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAun5nAxAXPk
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANARgJTDwXOVu
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnXD1toLs3I
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnHYR8b0HjR
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAVfghtygZ0W
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA33GhR88kbY
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!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwsWhKmoNdh
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANATnmsI3NUK4
Izuku: "All Might…"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHzULjfpHPZ
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ8hJ5olvn
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?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAmS80qOAUB8
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAh5ChT0qmIq
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqwQAk79CIp
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAhwG4WwrhIX
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANADdzDvu9UID
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?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAkrbLxMlLuC
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
189Please respect copyright.PENANASewMrn7fl5
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAGj3ZC4QNBr
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAs1SxpoGTNY
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjbnjeGz2Yp
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJWZiwNQAe6
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!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAo1ATUMC6Q4
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
189Please respect copyright.PENANAPPB80fGHgn
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?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANABalWYSBx7l
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAQS3IPBSmhP
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjUxSvDGyDQ
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAaQv1YOkthn
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAAq1GmerRLu
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiS8iwaCPo7
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAShWSRXIRNR
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?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAsllSv8nnyO
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAliNaG1E9w1
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!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAigS901YxMV
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAEOM8PxfY1r
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwA2hKrreky
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAgR3PMIredu
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZRfqQ2ay79
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAfFV3ko0dSF
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."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAxyTQPZfrT2
Inko: "Ah!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAAWgv9DFH8X
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA2in81FDS9o
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAfQY2rdw2VY
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAWuucMod3wW
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6mPcQfavq1
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAHNqem9uCBZ
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6AIC2HRIHt
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
189Please respect copyright.PENANAM42neYA5ti
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANA50hbiOQvfT
Inko: "Injured!?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAkBwuWVP5YM
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAi6RqC28s1i
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAXkINlJ0YTa
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAjw7zZ7XXkC
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZkC8pskW1A
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
189Please respect copyright.PENANANuq3GTL8xT
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
189Please respect copyright.PENANAiKN3zdZ1Ft
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
189Please respect copyright.PENANAM7nU4uDl1y
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAil1wWxoh5J
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZTsfauzDyz
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA0EebScgzX0
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAR9h471V6q1
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
189Please respect copyright.PENANA8xmtqvjsqX
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAG5jZMnbJtl
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAnqqVYOrZDl
All Might: "Lift this."
189Please respect copyright.PENANASMkekgtU5p
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAwDWbVTk3Zr
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2wY2SdPLt
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAI5LBmgnxqP
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.!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA4jIXHUyLyk
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANATSgEZDSTSP
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAbzjbbehQpp
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAOySVtQvfa6
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAn43iEZqtJv
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAOiVsVrwMIx
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8doW8pRQF
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
189Please respect copyright.PENANAkbVVRUaavR
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
189Please respect copyright.PENANAy2SUsF4pIz
As for Fubuki…
189Please respect copyright.PENANAo45hQWOzb9
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
189Please respect copyright.PENANA9fOlyROOcB
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…
189Please respect copyright.PENANA7qfL4XaNRR
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
189Please respect copyright.PENANAJxCAgUSICi
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
189Please respect copyright.PENANApwPJFHCUTJ
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZFHzQfiBi
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAMj1T3R2Mgr
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA2vbkwBhTRV
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAqUbzTEegUv
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?”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAklq4DN0ofV
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAtzsLpYEzxf
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAmziXSHDHGJ
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
189Please respect copyright.PENANA6XSb8o874n
Fubuki: “Okay.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANA1ylfXHIt7C
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!”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAPuYCMrRM1c
Fubuki: “Right.”
189Please respect copyright.PENANAM6iNK5thE6
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.
189Please respect copyright.PENANASSGaBZkBiF
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.
