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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANADxwaPDe1Oi
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAvyDRiWQBkH
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMestr7WZ2D
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA7c0AI4lMsr
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAkHFVGjpYU
Izuku: “All Might…”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAcv9OGpjDdN
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMXOJYkdz3v
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.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAejRtqiUJl0
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzkZDxEdpXY
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAewNy2EdziB
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAQpDi3ta5C
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.’
206Please respect copyright.PENANAptvSJRCPHH
Later
206Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y03PfY5UX
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAPg49xLq5Hd
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAL81hdmcpFJ
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAPa5oqeKNLH
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAfgftI91Q01
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANARDSlDT4mxh
Inko: “…Huh….?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAyy97eTp9aS
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA249n0zTGSV
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqm852WuH8t
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAJUuZTC3NsG
Inko: “….All Might?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA3ovt5BMJJK
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAnGVJCCgs1u
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAC2UZyjlpu4
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAZWrpWIGHrE
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA6QmukNKQ7Q
Silence and shock.
206Please respect copyright.PENANABDxs0y46Ru
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA0T81miCLIM
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAmNizF8tQMM
Izuku: “Mom…”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAe7JkSTtODS
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
206Please respect copyright.PENANACZwsP1r3nb
All Might: “Its this normal?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWz7j1HRDiT
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANADAvvxk6BFI
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA54xZKv0Td3
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAcW8QzYRB52
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAUNzOBOOLb6
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAgWn4DeEm7L
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAsUHjEGb1dR
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAtzJCpocaOM
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."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAIAIyf973we
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAG4ch4JMLVN
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWh5WbYaiXq
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…”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAshlbo6Iyma
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAlsp40WRQax
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!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANADOfMrbqrPJ
Izuku: “I would never!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANABWvR2t2Atn
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWm2hKwtGos
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."
206Please respect copyright.PENANADwSL39vA2n
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAFYlJV52KQV
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqbx5Ce6ei5
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
206Please respect copyright.PENANASIKdCOkkvP
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAIahg9hj5jw
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAE6uKwgmGJ0
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAPnQ60WvsmO
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA27u24fGuNi
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA8AJoa7uZda
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANATa3p9bfpDh
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
206Please respect copyright.PENANABLPwjMw1bo
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANASDqStKKYSL
Inko: “Hahaha.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWJzmCOXkbn
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMhny5QViJr
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAMxgEFnStys
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWfq9CAlVZa
She turns to All Might.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAO0pKx1IgMi
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAopgllyNXE8
Inko: “All Might.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAmCkcLhmEJv
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAkdLfcZkrnL
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAGSffksJ5Hy
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAecI6OiqX1U
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAxNZkm3ALa6
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAGs6RXWTwT3
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAcCdxvAh0qb
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAEYdNhcFTo1
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAxlzFTWFjNs
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAM3SI3979JO
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."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAFCpfyFSdCG
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAKNSkUg5t41
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAJWf5h3M4jl
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAXjINTVayk0
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA2CWFkAi0RJ
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!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA0hStv3XS2D
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!"
206Please respect copyright.PENANAfcEvy0qipK
Izuku: "All Might…"
206Please respect copyright.PENANAWfpuTNdTGt
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAl1oqD72ahf
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?"
206Please respect copyright.PENANACeb7eEg5bO
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAxpAId30DHO
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAsmDcy4ONhH
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAmNUEi9ihaW
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAwVExNq3KL1
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?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA4MLuG5ZAiJ
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
206Please respect copyright.PENANAkN2iZAwttV
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzYlvLfH5Q3
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAQxhcu8wWne
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."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAq5C6CUag5k
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAwxt6RFMdZx
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!"
206Please respect copyright.PENANAat8xDiDrFU
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
206Please respect copyright.PENANA1qLUJ2HeVc
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?"
206Please respect copyright.PENANAxIT0WrXw5h
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
206Please respect copyright.PENANA0LFONq1Irv
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAQt1YFn0hLe
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."
206Please respect copyright.PENANABNODLYarrg
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA8lH8amoMit
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."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAG7WmJKheZe
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAXMoq1IkF9j
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?"
206Please respect copyright.PENANA1DjgjhbmKF
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAlD45PEm9uU
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!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA9qdJ3msqGl
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqqSQ7jPC21
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA51L5pN8D3I
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAPpDsRybuPb
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."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2pn24uRAp
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
206Please respect copyright.PENANARXeut6nZuQ
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."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ1dH6tjvx
Inko: "Ah!"
206Please respect copyright.PENANA7c12KXr99E
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANACVEo15tHrJ
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAERTiB54ZPv
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAVIBuhP2qES
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA0sANdndsmE
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA7hFLkkXpCI
206Please respect copyright.PENANAIvnEUBOdJF
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
206Please respect copyright.PENANA246EsDtMXF
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
206Please respect copyright.PENANAG2hRzpNa5V
Inko: "Injured!?"
206Please respect copyright.PENANAmWXDYTgDNf
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA9QaMySnJnB
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
206Please respect copyright.PENANAHbrFKDlciS
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAcL5iKheQHT
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANACoRIIq1TcU
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAqRb6I0htdT
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
206Please respect copyright.PENANAmgCRgnM79B
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
206Please respect copyright.PENANADQtcK2ACR8
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
206Please respect copyright.PENANADGnJ2PBUaw
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAl70HWv2ytB
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAyQhpzlRzaO
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAzBWQn3Vn41
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAYs9JSwV2Z3
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAbuwjn9qtXM
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
206Please respect copyright.PENANANCTHQu0uVV
All Might: "Lift this."
206Please respect copyright.PENANALUVbnKQTan
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1o0oKEZ8k
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANARv7vDN57zH
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA1rPxi2r4kp
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.!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAXWCDOEWHSR
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAV2vk03AuQ0
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAf0kWiAVVY8
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANABovoPF265S
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAFusYgsfNcE
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAEwD9JWECVb
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAwvVntT613U
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
206Please respect copyright.PENANAGNEKBwJuUv
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
206Please respect copyright.PENANAiRaN5RIrkX
As for Fubuki…
206Please respect copyright.PENANARQwLqYMUiR
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
206Please respect copyright.PENANAxIlmPaPJDj
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…
206Please respect copyright.PENANAdxnEj3RXlS
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
206Please respect copyright.PENANAcmAmbKA4US
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
206Please respect copyright.PENANA9upycpHiBp
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANADxvtDXzU0z
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAGBxhkO00Z
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAljf9siMOPl
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
206Please respect copyright.PENANA076WHSwLPv
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?”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAhdp9XJt77x
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3PkI2sepI
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ44NMHQks
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
206Please respect copyright.PENANAB3Zb3NYk80
Fubuki: “Okay.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAAitwaqpk6Y
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!”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAEwCwSY773O
Fubuki: “Right.”
206Please respect copyright.PENANAX3gKuMP7D4
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.
206Please respect copyright.PENANA95kdXyUSuU
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.
