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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAo2CbEnVlxp
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAFAjjjHhR6P
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANA5jCNbys2ah
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
232Please respect copyright.PENANApitc0Ws4bR
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAfRuHe45m3G
Izuku: “All Might…”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAMWKPZX0brU
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANACjytNfkLJB
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.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAzY0AUt98kw
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAydTgmB0Jw9
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAoHNGgYaO13
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAtgjlUAc4x6
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.’
232Please respect copyright.PENANADq2h1WJpp4
Later
232Please respect copyright.PENANAwMaD17Qqot
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAyqbmfAFQ8J
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAtFXFkf0N5f
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAcutKOBOpiL
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAMwmAYqeh3r
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANANeMhOZBFMi
Inko: “…Huh….?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAdYraJvblYf
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANASZxVzEv69N
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAabKdB13zTx
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
232Please respect copyright.PENANA6qIIvAp5xw
Inko: “….All Might?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAD7dWcjvnDu
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAD517ZbEEw4
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAUsm9jiFY8f
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAoprsckDlCJ
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAqAPEcMcdwi
Silence and shock.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAQi9Z7LaZ9Q
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
232Please respect copyright.PENANA8eADSwL8Np
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAkVmNXZs1HW
Izuku: “Mom…”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAzw5jsQrhbO
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAM4Va65fjJU
All Might: “Its this normal?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAtT9zVCjDji
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANABf8sleLrMx
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAtykasI2pYQ
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAgAZxvnvsfl
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAyq2xGGBDWz
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAhKtiI5JW3s
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANArg21CxWTwT
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAkwIGdjDuJb
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."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAStxKy0mYzt
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAugH89Ol3Qf
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAADb28PCDFB
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…”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAhnRKCUtLgJ
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAucyBn7IqYi
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!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANANQ0mfBedXI
Izuku: “I would never!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAUR3y2KwnY2
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
232Please respect copyright.PENANA4GVpgeJR8b
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."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAE5dZScJRH0
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANApnO8XZHQEA
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
232Please respect copyright.PENANARd7f0C5rEx
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAqpfL0ThWut
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANADGgsvD8ULP
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAb1emhwPnGh
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ZLtMCnXQ
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAVr6Z6C7RIr
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
232Please respect copyright.PENANALHsEj88DyI
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAdRFhPHhD0P
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAUJuzYGgYmR
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAPhiL3vEBWL
Inko: “Hahaha.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAc0a4t6GPTE
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANANbunFMWJW8
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAysGaCW0KJw
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAQsVqRWpA5K
She turns to All Might.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAc6YlE5R1lI
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANALotSXm54KA
Inko: “All Might.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAKjS9bJKwKa
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAnU46goENuU
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAPpySVTGo3z
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAkVZyUIMXB1
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAygpbzfMhnx
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAHCXlZxFdqP
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAw1gXgQyPYq
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAP780vO9PH4
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
232Please respect copyright.PENANArwQrOETbb6
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAhMMJyRtpiP
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."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAMiUpX2qs0F
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANACZAy8ep2XO
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAUTDGlqtOVd
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAzEPTq8G40E
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAqNw2Xqf3Et
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!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANA7Eluf2qgXZ
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!"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ5HmgZmuB
Izuku: "All Might…"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAuwn7OOhNoD
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
232Please respect copyright.PENANA4u7KfoJNn2
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?"
232Please respect copyright.PENANA3XRk5ToUJC
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAbZZJigvBeN
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANA0kwdx4zRvb
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANARxpDfkkPGf
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAHehSrR6PCs
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?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAesOEgU5upO
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
232Please respect copyright.PENANA6kp45cNdA5
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANA8xvNohBwHL
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAuaHJ6zLbEG
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."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAWiqZkGJpik
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAlQBioUPUv6
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!"
232Please respect copyright.PENANASqYd5w9BWT
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
232Please respect copyright.PENANAYoaM3g786O
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?"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAi3H0Bm6V11
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Tmawjk8f
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAuslEKVhtku
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."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAjsX0sunEjA
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAtmtHL4ojZz
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."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAtPVfi7Z33D
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
232Please respect copyright.PENANA92rWHScH9p
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?"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAvByMDXZQrk
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAvkyCI45IMV
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!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAET8dEMFcdZ
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAtQeB7DfV1Q
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAXQjgRGabjU
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAxo1xu4sdlC
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."
232Please respect copyright.PENANA2zBk7Iq1MT
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAjvUT6I2ISE
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."
232Please respect copyright.PENANA0o2Op03qs3
Inko: "Ah!"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAP9JSuGBhrM
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAzgxLJr9aM4
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAp4JzWqPCiG
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAYytZYO4xye
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAzZzVeql3Lq
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAn00Fueyc6O
232Please respect copyright.PENANAolzro2iFJV
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
232Please respect copyright.PENANAubjffAudYE
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAvMRceZRYgl
Inko: "Injured!?"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAKEHBGIQdgo
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAr53DxAHv4O
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5VxPUWT4U
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAxg2yACvDMv
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAqwDZptoKCo
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
232Please respect copyright.PENANANArPalcAWj
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
232Please respect copyright.PENANAiNDzoj9I4I
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
232Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0MjqGaZCQ
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAb23Hs5RT9V
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAN5hHTmRCjS
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAqPuMVrFlNO
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAvKqsamFpw6
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAY2yOo85k6S
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAymkYjfwF6W
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAjXs9I24mpa
All Might: "Lift this."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAlere1nstJB
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
232Please respect copyright.PENANARUzvzSHBiq
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANA0XzAKPDcQp
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANA8tdykX2OLD
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.!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAHDDMVBrLXK
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANA6J658KpZ5h
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAzLQXZAjfBz
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAKqX3F8xAXK
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
232Please respect copyright.PENANATVU7vOUa3l
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAqcP8PwO1W8
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAxhUg7ThsZB
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
232Please respect copyright.PENANAbeyRcC1GLM
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
232Please respect copyright.PENANABk9xRiayFU
As for Fubuki…
232Please respect copyright.PENANASbNLNiuswf
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
232Please respect copyright.PENANAQTMOYHPpdX
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…
232Please respect copyright.PENANAnrRbEfMucO
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
232Please respect copyright.PENANA7vzTNOjMv9
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
232Please respect copyright.PENANAkQCG5qsYnn
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANA5NNVQZOvAm
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAIZmctn9pAA
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANANhW2rrI7ie
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAIwJJ0wYNW1
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?”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAcyq4wKLCE3
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAnLzxipgOmu
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANA6WcgFKGMlQ
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
232Please respect copyright.PENANAX925QbjQly
Fubuki: “Okay.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANA8MeNn3OYyH
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!”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAjLxE5czX5Q
Fubuki: “Right.”
232Please respect copyright.PENANAf2DRYxmAny
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.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAia733Cem5s
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.
