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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA5giXtpi6KA
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAsfvTz7MeRs
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ4sTt1cJd
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA7LQuAvs6GZ
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAwvKwVK484b
Izuku: “All Might…”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAKde1VrgNiY
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAIpQ2uLsY6Z
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.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAT2u9FV3zll
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANACO2aR5IOKf
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
306Please respect copyright.PENANATUeeNnHWet
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAHxvfmaPIE1
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.’
306Please respect copyright.PENANA2BDIP2Otil
Later
306Please respect copyright.PENANAKg35iQgR8O
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAizFaLffhi6
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAayN3qpFj9p
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANATqHxR4GDWE
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAt8GWkxo4mR
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAlAjD2HNTRU
Inko: “…Huh….?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAjtYM4BLZZQ
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ea8JT6QDd
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAfC759a12pv
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAvovp8JcB7Q
Inko: “….All Might?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAKzsNIhcfvv
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANA7fpBZW2ucC
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAS72sDKIise
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAAnppxG5wYF
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAaZCFSkAXhJ
Silence and shock.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAxv62EzrzVg
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
306Please respect copyright.PENANARvYgLMKY3U
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAqi4nS8eTM7
Izuku: “Mom…”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAJiYzT3ih1F
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
306Please respect copyright.PENANArNL72uXYiV
All Might: “Its this normal?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAYKWd6ZGGB3
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAiHeMMZdZ5Q
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANACSpDjA2ITW
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA9BVW7GIY58
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAdJLzNkGz9a
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAdgmeS92XvQ
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANARnVNFxqAPm
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAgUMFTBELE9
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."
306Please respect copyright.PENANA4sKlCcfaqz
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAhFiBZeh2XG
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAnXKj8PGTN8
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…”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAsc0XO5Ys1S
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA5huLDSJjxq
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!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAmzfVWiT5pX
Izuku: “I would never!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANABOPoGek7xv
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAJYeQk2OuKO
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."
306Please respect copyright.PENANAhPW0Gw8Hyn
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAa3eyNbieXM
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
306Please respect copyright.PENANAF7YVx10nHO
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAZVHNMkeivN
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAsaJplHvM9G
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAYPgkvsadBZ
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAddxkXPCYAK
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wczsfbx54
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA3o4bzUG3Sc
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAAV3xjmH8eQ
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAdJhrVSvF75
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANABc59OOAfwL
Inko: “Hahaha.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAF2Xw3BULpH
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAvULREvnyY3
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANADKjAojb91P
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAwVVque1lsZ
She turns to All Might.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA5US3GZSklZ
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANA8gMLTQmmiO
Inko: “All Might.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAAHbWKYVmT4
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANATKqok2tFQV
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANATJ4Ot1HVCr
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAB796X8tcFT
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAH3BjLNoQ2q
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAWRPmNc1Y8s
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAcWDkzPQdqn
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANABrPMqpMdR5
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
306Please respect copyright.PENANA8AITOe5c8P
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8bYUYHOlE
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."
306Please respect copyright.PENANA2rC8ytUdkI
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAdzGmY21aRK
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAB5O51Ll6ze
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAlq2JEcitpM
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAmYCZCgTnbQ
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!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAI1pLLh68OL
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!"
306Please respect copyright.PENANA0oQf2kBhSF
Izuku: "All Might…"
306Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ejwn0193H
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAr4adRgoYxj
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?"
306Please respect copyright.PENANAeN05nAon23
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAeBeA6GxH7H
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAE5K1gc7uOu
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAXnu1Yiz4KB
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANASXYjQIBllb
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?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANALbwUOmN3i7
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
306Please respect copyright.PENANAkZHmPLWnlv
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAmEqSsSIx74
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAgvUZaKelFb
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."
306Please respect copyright.PENANAtIjcvH2Cag
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
306Please respect copyright.PENANApck4SwLRth
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!"
306Please respect copyright.PENANArmqJIQMsB9
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
306Please respect copyright.PENANAgS84UWsgFY
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?"
306Please respect copyright.PENANAjv8kqHAx46
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
306Please respect copyright.PENANAUBI2hJx1uc
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAJt5WCOdSG5
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."
306Please respect copyright.PENANA8PMlD6jyTz
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAEqd7qz9gPQ
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."
306Please respect copyright.PENANAkz41WeHspF
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAKsPLEA9x4B
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?"
306Please respect copyright.PENANAFzdMnglb4z
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAszT2xJt2kY
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!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAt5g9ROmrhU
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAsmdCip3IS7
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAg0n51cnd9Y
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAB0WD1wKuT1
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."
306Please respect copyright.PENANAS37nMkglFz
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAi6CNxrjxh8
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."
306Please respect copyright.PENANASw968m55ZS
Inko: "Ah!"
306Please respect copyright.PENANAidRyxedfoZ
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANATw0FfBLixT
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
306Please respect copyright.PENANACZtFri113v
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
306Please respect copyright.PENANAA8U3QGkP1L
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAMYKyc1zQ38
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAhAc1SiIHaZ
306Please respect copyright.PENANARBDFzG3DOz
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
306Please respect copyright.PENANAmuqe3SlYJK
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
306Please respect copyright.PENANACn1ksVwCGp
Inko: "Injured!?"
306Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z5vu5QUd0
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
306Please respect copyright.PENANASoIIkQr2iB
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
306Please respect copyright.PENANAEdLD7unnNK
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAMcNaZfphvh
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAcqfdln4iLA
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
306Please respect copyright.PENANA4n0ZrriOue
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
306Please respect copyright.PENANAcMTnoidUzE
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
306Please respect copyright.PENANApUqpX7yhEN
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAyKxRF8N2hJ
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
306Please respect copyright.PENANAA2fLjRQIRp
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAq1gS1aDD8L
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAdI0I4udzKE
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAkpukH7rSCN
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
306Please respect copyright.PENANADkoF7OxsBp
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
306Please respect copyright.PENANARUy0s9kFDE
All Might: "Lift this."
306Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZYvOp644W
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
306Please respect copyright.PENANAydT4nVyf4I
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANArU6QlbZrzR
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAmKJx9aYCSJ
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.!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANATCivaIXKHa
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xrm9YtsYh
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAQcjBuV0A2h
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAfHh3Ha3WJX
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
306Please respect copyright.PENANApD4gqmVajl
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAbhsjI19dpG
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAQGZpZiLk6W
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
306Please respect copyright.PENANAyWPgB9dtmk
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA0h2cG6HeOa
As for Fubuki…
306Please respect copyright.PENANAt19wLl6nSW
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
306Please respect copyright.PENANAs3ecY7XJEL
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…
306Please respect copyright.PENANAvY12RmErZP
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
306Please respect copyright.PENANArY1RvJZGUY
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
306Please respect copyright.PENANA7oSVpFk5Zx
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAjKqCFAYpBZ
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAC69SzVWP3y
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAlKmxzY9WiY
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAdTkbWHrO2D
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?”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAXggYEbdo0H
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANA9wCUieyFva
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAzYULR0z7Vj
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
306Please respect copyright.PENANApzDIEfJk90
Fubuki: “Okay.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANAXr3SWy3pq2
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!”
306Please respect copyright.PENANA0dLD4TdkFC
Fubuki: “Right.”
306Please respect copyright.PENANARgzn5Txljq
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.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAgFCROpWJJe
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.
