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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANABrUkMep2qs
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA9KB1DcG2q5
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAz53rJ5th9q
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
303Please respect copyright.PENANANsyzLmO4Am
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAi9umNzcbCc
Izuku: “All Might…”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAZsrGjOjsnU
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANA3aO4GguCh9
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.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAiHowPK0qz2
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAefFCgfsa4q
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAZjog0e6AOK
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAxzl6bp7XTh
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.’
303Please respect copyright.PENANA6uRzjKAdUo
Later
303Please respect copyright.PENANA8sd5w8I3Ms
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAP8kISMvk72
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAc25ffvdmnS
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAhsKuy78oQH
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAi6EgAmiRKj
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAIxwQ3GVXZ3
Inko: “…Huh….?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANA44J5E2g3De
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANABJcdhIH8uP
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAgEOMrmLvvb
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAHWXFfZWYc6
Inko: “….All Might?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAqBIamvxRLp
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANA4EUoP0WHa6
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAA0rTJfTpXO
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAXUKNGARH42
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAcNuiwnejps
Silence and shock.
303Please respect copyright.PENANABscyehGA0m
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAlvzPfLwsKz
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAOhiPnnY8fO
Izuku: “Mom…”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAn6ccg1fegv
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA4CbM4IpEO7
All Might: “Its this normal?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAa391MjWRkR
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANASIWkuLj4DB
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAoN7Ky9YZ90
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAgdyIHNTgvZ
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAyeZ5ZMn1v5
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAyIMcbn7EMF
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANARI6sUvrz3B
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAtFe0XnSQXp
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."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAB5WYN9URef
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAHuV7qtGrBx
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA89xPCS4W1B
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…”
303Please respect copyright.PENANA57RQQun8Hq
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAuCrm11SGr2
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!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANA6GEvVCUQeC
Izuku: “I would never!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANA5SYfAXxYvB
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
303Please respect copyright.PENANATP8QZx6U7P
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."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAJiYSqj6wk2
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAY2VFFpb3ES
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
303Please respect copyright.PENANAOgKvHzf1ZG
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
303Please respect copyright.PENANApmzGpy9J6h
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAtLgVBH5CMS
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA3HFxtFcUC3
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4qHuv2QfE
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAmxDlo0e7ER
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA8LPwqEJNQI
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANASCWIf5gjKz
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAtQnwZXNYLp
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAMRXtwVBjvx
Inko: “Hahaha.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAPOfwWmVFgl
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANALEhpK7l7ah
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAKeq4NKT0WN
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAXNl1pAQAEZ
She turns to All Might.
303Please respect copyright.PENANADvk8OsvX8q
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANA8E7hJfZHSU
Inko: “All Might.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAXELKeRZk5c
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANABDB2Od1ryN
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAIzghdv3h7e
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA7uhoSnloD5
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAciCW3KRf7o
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAg96XABIt2r
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAPm2snIN3FP
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAhg3cCuiBAR
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
303Please respect copyright.PENANATKV50wIOTg
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAD098kOetUW
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."
303Please respect copyright.PENANA7hd34spW7L
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAoKXnz4cZ7c
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAoYQ9R1S9lR
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAErW5q7v6DJ
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANApw9rfUk18k
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!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAylRp7IIn7r
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!"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAWevnRzX804
Izuku: "All Might…"
303Please respect copyright.PENANALkSsx6gKtz
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAG4aY7cPBNw
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?"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAdXLzd2CIdZ
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAnToTuhKAup
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAC5enrdzYx5
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAKxTQyC4OZ1
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAs5ZOy35z35
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?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAJkLxomqtZw
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
303Please respect copyright.PENANA2MLQ1raicf
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAL0EmNMS5RC
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1t77RlDRV
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."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAe950YwXYV6
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAoNy7MGOaCY
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!"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAJIFlEiAAfR
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
303Please respect copyright.PENANA4ciXxhgitk
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?"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAoKX5bO0l4C
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAQnkEFAzdhx
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAJqmx8Mky6g
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."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAYKMnLZ6uVT
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAbHR01mDHQo
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."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAHwlC5yOLFg
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
303Please respect copyright.PENANA0V9cClAmDG
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?"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAlzwVBH0ezl
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANASUfQyqIqqi
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!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAEwMPFGJNBd
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAe07BFpsgRM
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAmablLgj7il
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAszLtm8MrFr
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."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAzXxuvenu39
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAB5jbqHTSLf
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."
303Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZxizLUBfl
Inko: "Ah!"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAb198ziDmEY
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAH7HMjxOxKB
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAT6rsFegBFv
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAvVoIbxggIR
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAxsx3sMco0a
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANArB8ksyD04b
303Please respect copyright.PENANAFXPnWR4eSD
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
303Please respect copyright.PENANAkkcqdhFfdP
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAOpcxgcgMVC
Inko: "Injured!?"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAW5y3fq1nLs
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAiTTF45dVBh
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
303Please respect copyright.PENANABZUeLLUF3O
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAuLRwmVK8lU
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAgd8Hr0uXlp
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
303Please respect copyright.PENANARvVGIMYFep
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
303Please respect copyright.PENANAxruEnCCcAx
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
303Please respect copyright.PENANAOCzkMdUF2b
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ1PVkT6Ip
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
303Please respect copyright.PENANA93Soj6qG0j
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANACVuaXyABy8
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAwVsYcVVLiN
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAlH5xnM49mQ
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAs2U0k1VNfk
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAACQxRJ9shW
All Might: "Lift this."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAgbpG7vobmc
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAnC9f23xqPa
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANA1OUINVXfx9
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAbtm0187cRW
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.!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAo4M0CectWi
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANANQ9a3t8744
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAa5WpAlZJS4
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAsPPak5VNeg
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAaPvPRUB8vJ
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAyJk2nITRvY
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAtychwDwHEH
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
303Please respect copyright.PENANAhLhabMiy1N
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAXO13BCnJpz
As for Fubuki…
303Please respect copyright.PENANAvPXbnM5Qpz
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
303Please respect copyright.PENANAbIyevtXA2Y
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…
303Please respect copyright.PENANAE3NX8eZyWc
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
303Please respect copyright.PENANA2DWS1NjsZH
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
303Please respect copyright.PENANA8P7stn439A
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAlDdCCBHvkf
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANA1IWzCj6RSc
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAjAnNQ4puYO
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAFdivX48V6v
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?”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAKQy7iDBCAo
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAh6LNoqg4kC
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAtBQgDg5YFl
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
303Please respect copyright.PENANAbt3IdJKuJ1
Fubuki: “Okay.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAujhXum7HFk
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!”
303Please respect copyright.PENANAmNjCzySfqP
Fubuki: “Right.”
303Please respect copyright.PENANArLeQOZ8ZSv
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.
303Please respect copyright.PENANAW0X4YkklPd
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.
