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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAEAl0BrOVzS
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA4AaRYUrPuf
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwUxU8KVzOx
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAisjrH446CF
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAm99pI3cV6T
Izuku: “All Might…”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAedJ8J2BAZW
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA6AIw6ih0Xv
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.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANANApvRQ4Z7b
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAMpk3UfdGDR
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAvqcUfjlCKz
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAyFN9wzgnv3
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.’
205Please respect copyright.PENANAiugD563B2w
Later
205Please respect copyright.PENANAkKJaEoXloC
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA0o6l3DEobG
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA4IvQtiVht5
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANABzpbCqqo3I
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA1mGDsNBiQW
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA8ckD2QJjWx
Inko: “…Huh….?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAX6KnyD1ZQq
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXisaZpqwFD
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAeNckWJQMLU
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
205Please respect copyright.PENANASs4yG2l0cm
Inko: “….All Might?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7FBfjD8z31
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q2CaPmLoV
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAB4jVFBKp9i
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAyoIndG2gx3
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANASmOS4vqn3J
Silence and shock.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAGEgdbanTnh
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA69BzPfwARP
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANALYnm0fCRJv
Izuku: “Mom…”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ9AXpjsRz
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAo5C6KyIXil
All Might: “Its this normal?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAmYE0hNhRo6
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA1xidWD5Qxk
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA0cQBPi1qdQ
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAMzj5aC96vI
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAURk4BJfFpx
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAm727b9tPS0
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAtlxfLl7sCs
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAkDrj2AvbzQ
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."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAR9mq6HDlix
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAQH5G6FB6Ca
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAUDAln8cmFZ
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…”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAIAJFsgeZ2K
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA7Cko2yaSnp
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!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAWeWdH0mr5X
Izuku: “I would never!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqfYzohEpPM
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAaiRy0MGMfB
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."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPIfXgj4Bta
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhCRtD0wkui
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
205Please respect copyright.PENANAS26ggXoz15
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4MzaoEnBp
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA3DwJFkVEwt
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAIk8sjQAK1I
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAuBNxUrhLNW
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAtk7HdlrsYG
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAFBDXqdcySP
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAVDUcnn8tud
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPLMwQczgbD
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAGN6sy4yoHy
Inko: “Hahaha.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZuycFoN0x1
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2JWgiMoWxB
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbaEvbD6SpZ
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9zA8rVcCyP
She turns to All Might.
205Please respect copyright.PENANADRdK3PhEhE
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAncibHeVREe
Inko: “All Might.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAljVxU56Igp
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqi9jGHfjPa
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAWgZ78iH3fD
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA67Jz0MWAeQ
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqg2Fuzj2Oq
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbz3ihrnFnj
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
205Please respect copyright.PENANArPeabUQwwD
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAtCYJv3AIXm
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjudi5ob6Xz
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhsjCdgqxxg
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."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAohi8UDdlo0
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAUCdVodBq6c
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAsqBSyQXTah
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAimonwOjio2
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPMPypciGje
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!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAuWx1obWbzZ
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!"
205Please respect copyright.PENANAQtS4CTIr6r
Izuku: "All Might…"
205Please respect copyright.PENANA0D8iGn6R8C
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAEyNNtj6uzm
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?"
205Please respect copyright.PENANA38CrfDQGEU
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAS6AFjIwokj
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pog6AojhT
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANABxbCdV9F8X
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbPs3QU5zzv
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?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAujwK8pdjhd
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
205Please respect copyright.PENANAuqqW3FZmeZ
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ90RU9huD
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAOv0XL3SqG2
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."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPeNquSLvL1
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jy9Jo3fEg
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!"
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2jL4TYlkPT
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
205Please respect copyright.PENANAvyE0kBW42E
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?"
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ9ZzXV1A0
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
205Please respect copyright.PENANAQV1xrIkfK4
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAoVprKjXkZX
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."
205Please respect copyright.PENANABhuGNyevKL
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANACLZKiENG8d
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."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAmLWxnEb6ZA
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
205Please respect copyright.PENANARZmF1XXsTs
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?"
205Please respect copyright.PENANAGDfXuBLApO
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAAOwSSmA2U9
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!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAQjBQG1Ja8t
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2Cka63cYvS
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAMY5wYaUgcA
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAkPobALpHGj
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."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAgO19VQxJEn
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
205Please respect copyright.PENANALepqhfAtIK
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."
205Please respect copyright.PENANA8iY0eUUzEM
Inko: "Ah!"
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbkMXR21Wog
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAbaGeDkiFuH
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAznXilBJP13
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXpNkLPgyxy
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA15mbAEzJ1k
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAalii158EJr
205Please respect copyright.PENANAcUxDiOJiSw
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
205Please respect copyright.PENANAeYBwlT3fCb
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzTO14Phd8l
Inko: "Injured!?"
205Please respect copyright.PENANAoyQq0K7ODg
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9iVxk73JSq
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwjZsxkPd8U
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAeoAeQt2DAf
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2RpySTievC
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAIBxlJR6F6T
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
205Please respect copyright.PENANAmPy2t9zJ2M
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
205Please respect copyright.PENANAvDvfUyprQx
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2ucOlEoMAQ
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAILKU42Gza7
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXl8Ox5PSnv
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANArJWEu0UV4c
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAktCbL0KmLk
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
205Please respect copyright.PENANA8JbBUmx9Hu
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfURq1eJ2Mr
All Might: "Lift this."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwqp27zocVr
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
205Please respect copyright.PENANATBlsNur0t0
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA5SqOxFVGcL
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhZuD8Xrq3F
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.!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAlchPsJXiUB
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANATlI5NoVz7K
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjW2dUCPoJP
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAl8GeccJjdQ
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAqDhiyt9yY7
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
205Please respect copyright.PENANACqjhbYGrv3
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAP9V6Pl1gU2
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
205Please respect copyright.PENANAckQsRWG1bg
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
205Please respect copyright.PENANARXn1LvmwkR
As for Fubuki…
205Please respect copyright.PENANAaIuTKAxDeg
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwFocFHfUvU
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…
205Please respect copyright.PENANAFPZQfDO1Y3
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
205Please respect copyright.PENANAYz0pSpdOKi
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzkUwqrTkip
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAeMWT1r14MP
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPL7QR9hpZD
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAhSiMqSkPXE
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfdG6hGFNV7
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?”
205Please respect copyright.PENANA4XhEt47Ofj
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAtx5MlgLZxI
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANATVG86Medr4
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
205Please respect copyright.PENANAJHbMHOt6Li
Fubuki: “Okay.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAreKySaqkAi
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!”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAXrDkJHez8S
Fubuki: “Right.”
205Please respect copyright.PENANAlngDoS4rCd
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.
205Please respect copyright.PENANAlDFjRdlnby
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.
