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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA0YLTVxq0f0
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAxejDPwme5P
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAWwQCGwiCGp
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAg7GhESi0rt
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAsFYMiMaUCf
Izuku: “All Might…”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAojXC24sndw
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAazF4BCNQy3
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.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAMUy6mk0sq9
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANANbjIpNgFJu
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAIDNXmetD7r
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA1nkCK3fi6P
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.’
689Please respect copyright.PENANAPV9ODJBJqj
Later
689Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ4N2vm5gN
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAsfWm9NCLmD
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAV0cqxal15D
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAdqVGm9xMa3
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA68a0tl7csL
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAdon1krWoEJ
Inko: “…Huh….?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA46rdfd4FIO
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANApkuxeQ3m2n
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANApCWcsj8F5w
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA8nk30gc3OW
Inko: “….All Might?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAudhUKu5Aji
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZuQeKE4B9
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAob23SvzVaO
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9lB4Vfi5LN
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAPYgX9uwmlr
Silence and shock.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAxFazKla7E5
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAj5YMoVjfae
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAU496mtcO7n
Izuku: “Mom…”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAjWFQWdw0GI
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAtPyGwpgVn1
All Might: “Its this normal?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAILSMHhru5y
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAuX6lTCFqPs
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA5fuq81trcZ
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAzvYseDSYPH
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAAz0D9G3jZz
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAkfiCehmLx8
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAxTXpDfE7qZ
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAUagwpGYeOr
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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANA8gLJx7W9pr
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAke7kFtrTUj
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAFCzqShsAt5
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…”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAdBlTOJXcHn
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAWfTvxwvsb6
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!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAlBskJfndC0
Izuku: “I would never!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAdTlB5GsmdV
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAS0wvO3nNnv
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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAGKfVy3nc48
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAWXZprV8Znj
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
689Please respect copyright.PENANAdv1wtimgcr
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA7WQPD0XbLu
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAvMsNYlSvoh
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAQR4H6XCKtM
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAzhnehHDYaK
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAaBDODLDZXD
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAnMJ1fL2u1J
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAIVNQpc3BPm
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA7n5SA0FEJG
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANALGRkijEqp5
Inko: “Hahaha.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAKaMUXQPoE7
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAM0OtssyZUI
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAYuHu533BLk
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAoUJ6PsIvSi
She turns to All Might.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA7kd7cN5sbt
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAmgrM8U7pAa
Inko: “All Might.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANATxEpvkN1vM
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAzfObxdsEqj
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAYiZXv121T4
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA3BZX9k3UMU
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAyGvlqMhUNr
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAobdQWPElYV
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAgEu8q6RDcK
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA2OVHjCUCbv
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAGXJl8H8uDd
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAgRlXcDzJ1p
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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAK781Y6lHfW
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAQAfvH6PJDZ
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAFcyyQhfrIJ
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAhkZ29Bo4HX
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAOeRd2DUKMV
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!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAQrOGoL2ten
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!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANA3eq6a1om36
Izuku: "All Might…"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAfx8Hlxc80q
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
689Please respect copyright.PENANADLuTZC030w
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?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAbzbEFvmP44
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAxOmXXT21Fo
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAkcKw2uW4e8
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANANsBhE3FUhw
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAx3NLtSNscY
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?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAzTTqGAxpzk
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
689Please respect copyright.PENANAG7dLaS1BBj
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAu3QGuDRnHI
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAMARFwX2AdD
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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANABMAJi0AD13
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
689Please respect copyright.PENANANFyerlZKuL
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!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAfRNdDhwL65
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
689Please respect copyright.PENANAE5wxFPFY3K
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?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANADLu9pL8h3C
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANA5D3Stt09oc
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAXfUwS5covv
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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAQam3KIoRoO
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAvCZ039YhhM
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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANA1AyBmOF1Fl
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA5cmFoWh2xO
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?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANATKjrRw3gEk
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA1ecrvarW9p
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!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAa5j13WlmPU
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA2u7kA0UV64
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAtwAW5EMV6U
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9q8qmhCsdW
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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAta8hb1rdoB
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAqIhYaboXJU
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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANA2qsPEnpWD6
Inko: "Ah!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANARKAAqgetiP
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAhehFZxrCmN
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9DdFkD8AmA
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAc0kB1fBo4O
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAESo2UIqpwv
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAzvumkKHe1k
689Please respect copyright.PENANA1ctQfH0NKn
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
689Please respect copyright.PENANAMXkh3SH5i7
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAP4HqcYMonz
Inko: "Injured!?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAVEhHVKUjgV
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAiMgvUa2H7A
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAUYKBJTS0UF
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAegM8KYxKgW
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAvEDKSucGkg
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
689Please respect copyright.PENANA5OSSgIWFKj
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
689Please respect copyright.PENANAMdRI97HrpC
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANApbsyKzC7cH
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAi39H9fvm9v
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAqfYtcaD4Sz
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ3h49t2Wr
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANARFIeCqD9au
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAfayKtLq6kT
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
689Please respect copyright.PENANA19c70Bc7dc
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAe8TaX4Dg4r
All Might: "Lift this."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAPJKMgMVEJI
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
689Please respect copyright.PENANArHI3gdpX2y
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAYaSf2TUQ2o
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANATcRgqoceLP
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.!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAAlGfbqeQSU
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAUNZNDTFEhT
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAOU731vZqUt
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ1TpqhyBV
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAVngD13JsDM
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
689Please respect copyright.PENANADEomND4pht
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANADu0Ovg5Czg
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAPs0REZeUZ0
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAIUF2dt9w46
As for Fubuki…
689Please respect copyright.PENANAfkMKCF9jpB
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
689Please respect copyright.PENANAv96BbsUgOf
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…
689Please respect copyright.PENANANAlOf3otcA
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
689Please respect copyright.PENANAwCFyc3SaoE
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
689Please respect copyright.PENANAHEEUV5TyDa
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAPhgipDERgM
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAYLxZWv1tSU
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAlfMX81eCVU
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAZnhJyKaAo4
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?”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAr32HIFtQow
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAahvjMYHQaB
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAWa4sHKtGbA
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
689Please respect copyright.PENANASDi2i3G14n
Fubuki: “Okay.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAkvtbpaspgZ
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!”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAuumECxTFPY
Fubuki: “Right.”
689Please respect copyright.PENANAqOgyjpcY72
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANATiQmHwQ9k0
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.
