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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAGda4j0ZjKl
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA7yK0tuvjGk
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAySC3HrNV2K
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAhmB4En3aGV
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAAmld52Opow
Izuku: “All Might…”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAGLj13xqk6E
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANATvAaTLXiYd
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.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAPUYzFuZ030
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAKreIaqyyQR
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAbIcLrfV2Xi
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA9AZRCtA9fO
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.’
197Please respect copyright.PENANAsHoNpiAFpn
Later
197Please respect copyright.PENANAOuMJIAhfHC
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAshfgu2oRxG
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANApxZa77ymCf
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAwgWm5qCE90
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAJSgCnZHkdW
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAA3qV4tG3dR
Inko: “…Huh….?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAP7ARCJpe6O
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAoHLvAdUnxP
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA1E5TzpdcOp
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAht2DvERAJj
Inko: “….All Might?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAivBCR3nUmQ
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAwhlkNtZ3wp
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAmMdZ5xjWj4
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAkLyqMqS5lz
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAHOBGApV2hd
Silence and shock.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA1VaHbbqX3G
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAjbyutrSfWt
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA0anEFaph73
Izuku: “Mom…”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAdvvfctosWG
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAWvza4TDR5S
All Might: “Its this normal?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAvWyVoQGfYb
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAq0MSfyPpTn
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANACazWYkpJu0
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
197Please respect copyright.PENANASU4otRGZZD
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAcD7p8Syu0C
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAp861UzeLUJ
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAVSoBVDXX2c
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
197Please respect copyright.PENANADstraH0M9x
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."
197Please respect copyright.PENANAtmfEQOZedK
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAT6YieSfyR1
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
197Please respect copyright.PENANArlTjIuFuJt
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…”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAXW9xFPuLJe
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAS5cBk570RO
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!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAWY8S0F6tyc
Izuku: “I would never!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAYIG91M1nEg
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
197Please respect copyright.PENANANxmExxyKqb
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."
197Please respect copyright.PENANA2YWsUVugVg
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANADcy90PCyO3
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
197Please respect copyright.PENANASiATy15TCf
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
197Please respect copyright.PENANApm6A8Hf8YK
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA74OZLFdxme
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAHBNhrEaUe3
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ2lXWrgvT
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAINaKxntpgO
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA3mtHHBiXcH
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAHYMsEEAt0u
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA8F1kzQx0Av
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAMBLTodbXHR
Inko: “Hahaha.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA2pPYFyLnDX
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAa1SkHATmQP
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAdyBhYHnlOi
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANABTO6kavHTE
She turns to All Might.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAYsR9Cws281
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAScYSzwijtr
Inko: “All Might.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAb2JRP3KK3N
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAUHJNalR9xu
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAyJvZC4GD5m
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAz7lAF8hgRj
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA0MoNBU39rS
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAyiPQ1bzHpi
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAgsRnk3bHmp
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAIF8CfUK51l
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
197Please respect copyright.PENANALOcMpCdQBe
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAA3OGV5FW5G
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."
197Please respect copyright.PENANAhbTFtSWHMC
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAIYLvDtJDhW
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAiHypBHddpF
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAV4OD8cpOrd
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANARItSX6HO0d
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!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAyRSoaRdGK2
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!"
197Please respect copyright.PENANAl6I9XGHbvT
Izuku: "All Might…"
197Please respect copyright.PENANAB7Ljj6sGQP
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAv1HKL0KJi0
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?"
197Please respect copyright.PENANARMlmOfw6zX
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAy1pAYfDWZy
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA6jsx83q19H
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAtHT11LOhuh
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAb0h0hc5Igi
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?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAkzEjlWIYk1
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
197Please respect copyright.PENANAjW5i5lgYyJ
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAOHM3AYtbLn
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAjLQGSnaDc2
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."
197Please respect copyright.PENANA9QZflP2V8G
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAbFuyJmgUBv
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!"
197Please respect copyright.PENANA4hZs4bbhTq
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
197Please respect copyright.PENANA2F4gRPbFlS
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?"
197Please respect copyright.PENANAQjqf2m7u2K
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
197Please respect copyright.PENANAqqhLxBwNV5
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAfPHo9mcgfx
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."
197Please respect copyright.PENANA5mSOj6DHsD
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAtai1hTCxlp
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."
197Please respect copyright.PENANA3JWqH8cAiY
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ID2RUGDS
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?"
197Please respect copyright.PENANA51hu31HPNF
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAlLJnnZg8qV
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!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAmK3MEyIaEv
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA2zIrj28MA5
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAaShGKq1NAX
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAhDhqrv5V75
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."
197Please respect copyright.PENANAcMVLdUahYo
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAAwdSbieSTZ
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."
197Please respect copyright.PENANAEEtJK3Etof
Inko: "Ah!"
197Please respect copyright.PENANAZYdTNAsSwz
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAXlCrTNBbbQ
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAnhd7Nmfsla
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
197Please respect copyright.PENANAt4JnrYeKNq
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAfN4rwZut4w
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANARQVbR7fXPi
197Please respect copyright.PENANAsM6iyh6xqy
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
197Please respect copyright.PENANAvMkS3TcxUX
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
197Please respect copyright.PENANASaT6zMLZip
Inko: "Injured!?"
197Please respect copyright.PENANAIdjDBzPidz
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
197Please respect copyright.PENANABvFYUK3Rfx
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
197Please respect copyright.PENANAl8cwH537N2
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAfDIkxcEfJi
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAvw5zW2NQ5K
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAqgOpjimRU0
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
197Please respect copyright.PENANARZvRaTC142
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
197Please respect copyright.PENANApB3LAEZIrD
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA99WnJdFatI
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
197Please respect copyright.PENANAWXfA1CZUtF
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA7tI3YnwO6T
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA5xGKChwqm9
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA60IGowA92u
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
197Please respect copyright.PENANABVeSkMrSx1
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAgGIulxNBLJ
All Might: "Lift this."
197Please respect copyright.PENANANaFX5BVxmO
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
197Please respect copyright.PENANA5useXHLKBP
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAvGLCZGebNg
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANALeAn5VktU2
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.!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA3jE6gYRFYt
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAsuKX3fZWy6
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA6hW52868Ty
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANALpVSQbtdyC
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
197Please respect copyright.PENANAaaaDtZdoxV
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAjnRvTu0YvB
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAEb0An7F9XW
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
197Please respect copyright.PENANAXfsrIGFMc8
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
197Please respect copyright.PENANAa47QCWwKPB
As for Fubuki…
197Please respect copyright.PENANAZyLPpPj0Gg
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
197Please respect copyright.PENANA7DmlhAGEFb
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…
197Please respect copyright.PENANAsosw3A2ThR
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
197Please respect copyright.PENANAsX7HkDSoyR
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
197Please respect copyright.PENANArnMH8hwRR3
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ocd8BmMUj
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANA7ecPsCCZTo
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAvpnfYA5fM3
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAZNmfHoNXEg
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?”
197Please respect copyright.PENANATs1D49Gmfu
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAYBT8NTcJMx
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAizT18I5NZN
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
197Please respect copyright.PENANArVGrq6TxbW
Fubuki: “Okay.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAGPRzqQ8Y1a
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!”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAMha0eR9LMb
Fubuki: “Right.”
197Please respect copyright.PENANAQsYUD8Rrw6
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.
197Please respect copyright.PENANA01wS1us59C
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.
