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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAg0QyGfOIkG
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAstE6sGd5Kp
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAURM12ZbYfh
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAgHepbMCngP
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANACgkanNMJ8u
Izuku: “All Might…”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAt1NQsYHVpY
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANASKN9BQxIyH
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.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAnQRr55LLO5
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXGdipQmZZN
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAW9ZWJ5S3Fa
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJ507yMbsRw
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.’
377Please respect copyright.PENANA5RACfq0K1q
Later
377Please respect copyright.PENANA4BiDQ4lkCO
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ3u8iNccl
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAb4ULszIusd
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA75k4nL5b0N
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAui0GHk5RGi
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAzqdvmoJlnS
Inko: “…Huh….?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAcrWz46i2co
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANACSoRvVHlEv
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAl3JLoFjh0C
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
377Please respect copyright.PENANATZZL7zMUla
Inko: “….All Might?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAWlNU49pdyk
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA88L3QU8SHn
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIGrei0HMQP
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhVkHEz8w6m
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMVnaMvUUNN
Silence and shock.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAkmnkoj86mP
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAwQBIyWA1Gw
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAytRs0MMCOO
Izuku: “Mom…”
377Please respect copyright.PENANACpGegnjU6r
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
377Please respect copyright.PENANATZkMBZ6W2P
All Might: “Its this normal?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAiqJebBOztr
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAI1picXN05e
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAwrtfrovQ6u
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
377Please respect copyright.PENANADSRcmMMqa8
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAD0R8N4LZqw
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA6UMgfrjgeV
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAEArLogHs9Z
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAG0no3Befeb
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."
377Please respect copyright.PENANAs6ffsP6sR1
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAzFaXf6J6Fn
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA8MtJpPmADu
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…”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAsyepI3CyF8
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPfOLBafRY8
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!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANALUM8CX1sON
Izuku: “I would never!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJTmsljQ0w1
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAW5Soj92goT
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."
377Please respect copyright.PENANAoNySu35yF6
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAUL5SJEccIX
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
377Please respect copyright.PENANA1jOjv7pas5
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAp87bajannD
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAV1s4wk5z2j
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAmrOiZpAXR7
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAAlCTEv1ZAA
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANADkAcqfTfzC
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAl6v2sfSjx5
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA8WvjmblHsT
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAcIeqEzAZxH
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAGDdOqZEc0b
Inko: “Hahaha.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAmrhkHrALr3
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANABY2mx2tjrD
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAgKzYEWHBR2
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAK8SHAumOM9
She turns to All Might.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAnzp0Lcp0zU
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPi3n1DMYki
Inko: “All Might.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA0NfHJlQus6
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAB7lQCNlU03
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANADMCZImdMsA
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAejJ54gdJ3r
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAtqdVBuY2Ds
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAEtF06RbKRf
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA7wPBMIAjHY
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAUN8rzFx5UL
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
377Please respect copyright.PENANASdCuArIQT1
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAaddDKehg5t
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."
377Please respect copyright.PENANASyuiJ5oQtU
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXoQTLpx6au
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQCOkf0ckcm
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAw9tuhxoA2C
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA62cHkmYBqF
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!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAT7YDFW9isa
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!"
377Please respect copyright.PENANALNuYMdrchS
Izuku: "All Might…"
377Please respect copyright.PENANAwpn354x5xz
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
377Please respect copyright.PENANArdHMBhS7Af
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?"
377Please respect copyright.PENANAnvNFZbbNYP
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAFzqH9nkX0o
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANANNJvBKYKuq
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAnLKkXFSlpD
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANALRFzl1MnJ2
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?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqMbALl1kGo
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
377Please respect copyright.PENANAX1uNThCR8Z
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAxx1rVV088Q
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAyfu4osavBJ
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."
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPNFWsyHr2c
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAcnLtwlBTkI
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!"
377Please respect copyright.PENANAVzvywWEaIc
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhFNqYwbpSC
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?"
377Please respect copyright.PENANABgzBB60wq0
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
377Please respect copyright.PENANAuqTKgtvGbx
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAkpbA1BC6bD
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."
377Please respect copyright.PENANAljruObAF2m
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA5iVB4wOiYL
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."
377Please respect copyright.PENANA28HLhPMdYn
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA7VV4KEDm9E
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?"
377Please respect copyright.PENANAiSlBoXKCgN
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQijBWjts2U
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!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAM2W1sCPaNW
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAiB2VxlSBZI
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
377Please respect copyright.PENANACmFbYFCI6t
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAq4iuHn6rsQ
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."
377Please respect copyright.PENANAkQmdMfYytT
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
377Please respect copyright.PENANADMJva7JGd1
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."
377Please respect copyright.PENANADWyRLopimE
Inko: "Ah!"
377Please respect copyright.PENANAwYIgKy2XLA
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAYwk2UVA4kh
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA1Yt4vJRmr0
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
377Please respect copyright.PENANA8tMLsRLiKE
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA2UTPluzLri
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAO5RDzXfUyg
377Please respect copyright.PENANAZVSIBTRkcv
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
377Please respect copyright.PENANAlDxE4NoOHz
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
377Please respect copyright.PENANAbUUJqKFJPF
Inko: "Injured!?"
377Please respect copyright.PENANA6e2YlwcOsr
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAmVQhZ9skAC
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
377Please respect copyright.PENANARGFx200h1p
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
377Please respect copyright.PENANATp5YyIdprd
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAvvDEunKpMe
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAXHWiDJmjD6
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhZfml7Rdn3
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
377Please respect copyright.PENANAWM1mrNbZtx
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAACkdE2s7lN
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
377Please respect copyright.PENANAgk6NQsLy05
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIRpVD8mOdL
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMFop9ybAeG
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAv5dHjh5RSl
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
377Please respect copyright.PENANA6oyELxURbT
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAU4SmGOiXNG
All Might: "Lift this."
377Please respect copyright.PENANARh4rabO0nv
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
377Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8RQu1fRIO
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAZI4hOiIfrM
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAPvpr8RQ10F
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.!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA3jMHrUQsbP
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAWSIGONIxMB
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAyWcyeNZETL
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA0weudXrQ39
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
377Please respect copyright.PENANAHEn6Sq5OYS
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
377Please respect copyright.PENANALUZmqB7drP
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAhbceDrkn8x
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
377Please respect copyright.PENANA4Nky1SMdwL
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
377Please respect copyright.PENANA6KvNjgkhCT
As for Fubuki…
377Please respect copyright.PENANACGKKo0Bl0w
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
377Please respect copyright.PENANAknoUjHnnE2
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…
377Please respect copyright.PENANA9coNENVsYe
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJSOLsVJrQ7
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
377Please respect copyright.PENANAoWkre5OATR
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAqnco16DeA1
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAsmVuBGRB2g
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAYIexiOQzGL
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
377Please respect copyright.PENANA09VERWAUDM
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?”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAJz6gimLAeh
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAKjv45zb60C
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAgBLatvbozD
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
377Please respect copyright.PENANA5mVUvho4Vz
Fubuki: “Okay.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAMNtTl9KvVB
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!”
377Please respect copyright.PENANAyAncW5l5Ci
Fubuki: “Right.”
377Please respect copyright.PENANALKVNPAH4Qe
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.
377Please respect copyright.PENANAIrtovuGgti
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.
