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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAOLfmNLjAdB
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANA1FRI0nQMEV
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA1jvpqcKeAO
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAzdyipnMWhs
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAnT2IuRI5Iz
Izuku: “All Might…”
649Please respect copyright.PENANALLiKqZE8em
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAlLlgaCFPa4
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.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAkNXtommgJ5
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAcs5rXRLoFM
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
649Please respect copyright.PENANACP3gRCAxIp
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA5jqh54Deyk
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.’
649Please respect copyright.PENANA3AagfwzpFm
Later
649Please respect copyright.PENANAP73Gkq66nR
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAVVmR4hiWIN
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANARzRQw3boag
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAkZQgeKcUdH
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANASW9MgRu5Us
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANASwfSpf1ipg
Inko: “…Huh….?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAu51qHEjhH3
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAoXirxhlv6o
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAJstdpkutKK
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
649Please respect copyright.PENANA7DLdeEj2vQ
Inko: “….All Might?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAVyeKBB9mY1
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANACKVLxQYQmH
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAWnuMormAXy
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA4Iq5aAiyhq
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAObkKKoorGD
Silence and shock.
649Please respect copyright.PENANA9eD1WmCF37
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
649Please respect copyright.PENANA134LKfKucG
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAKr7OXyZ4mx
Izuku: “Mom…”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAj70KHOyq42
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAtcLNw5tmAX
All Might: “Its this normal?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAw3iwCgUoGW
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAoAAUr53Yae
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAB4OIbRMJjZ
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAA3JUHNOs6U
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAhmFYTnwz4A
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA60cFmiYiZY
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAjsDx4hMlwd
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAmGOyDyzxOp
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."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAUgQKs61dTb
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAFX0MwSY7zB
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
649Please respect copyright.PENANARYyY0q0QlL
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…”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAYGalnU8rW4
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
649Please respect copyright.PENANArBKHuSubBq
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!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAiSaYLCVlyJ
Izuku: “I would never!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAiIkpWPKkiK
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
649Please respect copyright.PENANALZFsqw9OoQ
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."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAWZFchgohlb
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAUtfWCjFCnK
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
649Please respect copyright.PENANAQOYfb0VRkA
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAbt3tSLXERJ
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA6da9OVETje
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAYwQvQWxow9
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAcWgmxtJVk0
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAHzn4jyKL65
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
649Please respect copyright.PENANA3zaFJ83WeH
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAgEv7K7zIcM
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAxUisBxzyKf
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAYhppQkXFE4
Inko: “Hahaha.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAszEVjJAUy1
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAKD3YGt3jTI
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAVM2A3GOYaK
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA58FBTrSTWA
She turns to All Might.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAbIrivsHS37
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAdGvYyVPmPH
Inko: “All Might.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA8DhQBXbaQU
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAMDXpNqe7Hz
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAgZLpK8ulmq
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAMIX09BlHVJ
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANA3cJ3BIuhYk
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAGdkEVexx4g
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAtfhwa7we0o
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAUJwDLKRonH
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAq9dRu8T9rg
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAChXOtz14Dd
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."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAaAsyw1eXH8
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAzouG9UKSqX
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAqW8uhgqsMt
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAEVU1ptPX8F
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAu4B62ZwlDl
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!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA6UsQoo4VT7
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!"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAeqI8zJ3sDZ
Izuku: "All Might…"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAfkXs5kg51T
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAbZiPEVfTj0
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?"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAunyq0naNty
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAhZOGDGDefy
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAIFhTwEUaAi
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAzxKPEpsExt
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA4hHHvhC9DE
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?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAN9fWUGxjVQ
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
649Please respect copyright.PENANA5brXTIhsYO
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAe1C9HEuzB4
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAkCfJSYhDsM
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."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAEj6VIoRZsi
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
649Please respect copyright.PENANA3c8zJEtVcn
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!"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAKDlLjXw4JS
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
649Please respect copyright.PENANAzAvGOHd0YU
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?"
649Please respect copyright.PENANA7OFDM64M2Y
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAObiOYXw3cN
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAJJFgb9q46G
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."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAT14jskaAyi
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAdnTVDFL0C5
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."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAPObpIkx8Uq
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAxoI9iuPq4t
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?"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAhc2fTRnFPW
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAQb29NOL3Qp
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!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAivQgKSaKfv
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAC9bQDFA36G
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAMdHM5ru475
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA2L0fZr5QoL
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."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAwR5Nw2tZiG
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAsy63KG02GZ
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."
649Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sl5HHLBur
Inko: "Ah!"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAg6LLWaBu5V
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAGr108eC88w
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAWQDmnOG511
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
649Please respect copyright.PENANA8o5bRZcPbd
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAJquwFDXREb
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAbEyDE7CMWw
649Please respect copyright.PENANAWmssyY5vxl
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
649Please respect copyright.PENANAnUjOQIkerG
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
649Please respect copyright.PENANA6jtSTZ1nYp
Inko: "Injured!?"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAEcNiw8g1mn
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAbaqXJbsPCi
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAsYWlcSq1TC
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
649Please respect copyright.PENANA9l7LjeETpz
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANANgp9HclTq4
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
649Please respect copyright.PENANA6BEDeojHrd
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
649Please respect copyright.PENANALtO2tvIKZb
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
649Please respect copyright.PENANAafYSvH9dDG
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAKVvjEzDgK8
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAbFnrPiApvw
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAi2pXA5O9E5
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAH8jL6kcLiZ
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAvi113rUsBw
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAPpPHyG8r9J
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAoJXeNkbg8d
All Might: "Lift this."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAGNpTZfDFR0
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
649Please respect copyright.PENANASmCSROYfQm
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAHHq82RTEB8
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANATobNF0kbjN
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.!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ5yobXnHF
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAoTuo6oJ8nd
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAYgWvHERTdT
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANATIb7vbrhvJ
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
649Please respect copyright.PENANAxAaHG2a9bZ
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAM8EQ2LPFAL
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANA2iQIUlznzO
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
649Please respect copyright.PENANABDyKwgyMbQ
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAk7fG0XKW8U
As for Fubuki…
649Please respect copyright.PENANANSqSnQOa9K
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
649Please respect copyright.PENANAorjJKFTLBw
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…
649Please respect copyright.PENANAIcFI8fp5VT
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
649Please respect copyright.PENANAn3PfyhCjPE
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
649Please respect copyright.PENANAfAHgu0J4um
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAmqTMRae7hl
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANArHjoWLCU9P
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAHAT5P7zF9T
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAiiryiNoYMg
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?”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAMpAKgIEaA2
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAKCu6WiozFG
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAd7DizbaKRo
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
649Please respect copyright.PENANAMBXU1ZfPv0
Fubuki: “Okay.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAbgJTTVNBtB
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!”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAFY3dJnAvCP
Fubuki: “Right.”
649Please respect copyright.PENANAZGsjLUnwln
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.
649Please respect copyright.PENANAkcw71Xm5ns
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.
