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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAN1YUJiDno2
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAwBEWmCyb4K
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjIXr1ws3gn
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAU7jr6fByG2
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANADRU3dtz7xZ
Izuku: “All Might…”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAEBNXlKs8dH
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAEHgS0tzRjn
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.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAG42N6Sm0qW
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAitk9WB0XEQ
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA8e2hR87Cd0
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANARJfmGWGR4A
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.’
246Please respect copyright.PENANAq6Wk5mlisC
Later
246Please respect copyright.PENANARyzgeaTreG
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAwueeV4IzGs
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZtQF0uFJFr
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAHdhJWd9vDF
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAz6h6mTcMTs
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANADJjEQFJLC1
Inko: “…Huh….?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZbTBsWIw6B
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANATO6cOYzKw9
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAoLny0POFCe
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAzcwV7VleUm
Inko: “….All Might?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA6Tpr5K88mE
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAgjIzBxy6dV
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ElSBWoqi
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAyymLUsd2Hv
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAkTIgSNit4R
Silence and shock.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA6pBy4noC1e
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAW6RDyhEuWs
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAI0e79ikuWT
Izuku: “Mom…”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAGIJUQTDHE1
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAI2m1an1XOq
All Might: “Its this normal?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA37jmhr3Xkm
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjnpPkpGQrS
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANALsBQWQ6aSd
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQOJ4dIj17b
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdW2zLMZ77c
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA3jFe8plDxW
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAlBilQGoxkh
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjJhy0dJgAr
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."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAdqYcY6TiON
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAMrVCvpBarj
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAWmeTjHOsI9
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…”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA9Fgju8S5vg
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAJbtSnhBty5
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!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAfeY0arX591
Izuku: “I would never!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAlFBTjg8qwV
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA1O6k9bnM42
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."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZMW2Ka2DuK
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAkm118X8u03
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZYtmiVdZGQ
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAcmtD4oi078
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAoR42QlANBZ
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAoxf3vknKq6
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAsP2Oa8TA2m
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA8hEJUaLYee
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAyxtx0f7jIS
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA34kklBXDlf
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAu5XCBujtvC
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAFUIojO9DUJ
Inko: “Hahaha.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAASDdjVajG8
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ2Uuz2Can
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAft3pouRCmK
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAuTrbMUilm3
She turns to All Might.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAtJY4YJetmd
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAwUEh116zwC
Inko: “All Might.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAAUsFh2LCU9
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAOg01OjCLrp
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAZfi4XojH5J
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAyOBA6QmPys
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAR0uAm7lIqF
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAyq8N7B6rlR
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAjAffgSjn5I
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA7BSwnzRNrK
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA344mUnJQxG
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANALtM63Z4igg
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."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAO6DOcXldlz
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAz0P5QvFS4Q
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAJJXOGCTQpE
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANANGYsUGn3LC
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAlDZrV52ZIP
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!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANASNv1spRKKj
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!"
246Please respect copyright.PENANAyrGdaL9kVi
Izuku: "All Might…"
246Please respect copyright.PENANAqGwZ1NRajR
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
246Please respect copyright.PENANADDFOJmryP3
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?"
246Please respect copyright.PENANA5BDVi3sfhC
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAKdTwNvIk8W
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAq4nnH9BrvX
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAvtUUy0N94c
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAuTm3CaYTRA
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?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAh3wDAdk5uO
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
246Please respect copyright.PENANAU9BA08bImJ
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAgL28EWMwwm
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAi1YEE6fhzT
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."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAT1eAv8N3LY
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA1iAudF5G13
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!"
246Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z2LgwdCxE
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
246Please respect copyright.PENANApjCUpwk1cX
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?"
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPIdU0ebV3k
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
246Please respect copyright.PENANAfMUONOsPvN
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAaOTXXabkCa
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."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAUpifNQwlux
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAuPElQabVxS
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."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAbi6bTmL4s0
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQAsehFxzsF
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?"
246Please respect copyright.PENANA0qiBKdo39X
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA0I7ikv5DmL
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!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA6znv3lBgGf
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA0FtFqGKRtb
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAj9bCslZN7K
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAr8dqieO1Oh
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."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAaaS6TXxcRe
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAYOJ3K8gc5u
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."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAInMaJJC8KI
Inko: "Ah!"
246Please respect copyright.PENANAtmuOeaCE41
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAq6AZXeCbgw
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
246Please respect copyright.PENANA20zpWMV5Fd
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAXycu6MQlwQ
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA9J9xsLDqaa
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAusWdtV3iTj
246Please respect copyright.PENANAfBKIpb3Z4g
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
246Please respect copyright.PENANAxiSbZ9FvAj
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQKzFeSubQo
Inko: "Injured!?"
246Please respect copyright.PENANALLVA5OgKp8
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
246Please respect copyright.PENANARGjFoUrIMc
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
246Please respect copyright.PENANAmJvvs3WuNE
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
246Please respect copyright.PENANASc6LpaP9ce
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAunMAsJhBVc
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
246Please respect copyright.PENANArynyO1VMX1
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
246Please respect copyright.PENANA1myb0OyOG9
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
246Please respect copyright.PENANAVAq4hstbXM
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAg1HF2LnKt2
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAF8k0K1E0Ra
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAvrgTIbpw6C
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA3h031rmrrE
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAIxiEPXcJJO
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
246Please respect copyright.PENANA7gr4dHaqlJ
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
246Please respect copyright.PENANACRYF6b71zr
All Might: "Lift this."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAnyExBxCjli
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
246Please respect copyright.PENANArSAeK36WNN
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAHzD5vyCvTK
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA86l1p7eCIC
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.!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAyCndZ1Xj5L
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANANDP2Cb7qV6
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
246Please respect copyright.PENANABD8oWmym8v
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAeIhl84PlqM
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAvKC1EOzHO0
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAru1HIAACdZ
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANANBKmasPIkY
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
246Please respect copyright.PENANAS8cGDzgs0V
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAw1xiqToTs7
As for Fubuki…
246Please respect copyright.PENANAlBKxzXunjT
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
246Please respect copyright.PENANAWSSYy5nPyU
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…
246Please respect copyright.PENANACluKDDLHx7
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQjjmSWBnKp
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
246Please respect copyright.PENANAME6rpQVQa8
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANABp5JYf28SV
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAPYkiNbv3Ri
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA7ovXTVJ6hf
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAEnkCUt5FbT
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?”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAG2O8d6HWu8
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANArFKaHAWanp
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAF9JcEnwP5x
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
246Please respect copyright.PENANAWZkjrmvAjU
Fubuki: “Okay.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANA4yovOlAvxH
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!”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAxR9rNbDC7g
Fubuki: “Right.”
246Please respect copyright.PENANAQQziPn5qll
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.
246Please respect copyright.PENANAIbtp6VSWWS
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.
