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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAVlYPcePcU0
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAgYuJ5gkz72
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANApVhbMH19W4
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAjw9EQtAHIr
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAXrrZPZvPAj
Izuku: “All Might…”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAyZHl9g2NZd
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAQGX3ECzLI6
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.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAwB7sd018du
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAJKC91foE1X
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAo8Wtl3ILC4
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAOSPLDXYfOD
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.’
361Please respect copyright.PENANAMeD1PVgym6
Later
361Please respect copyright.PENANABaqDPtiv4k
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANANxspv2VYZb
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAd1NtfcTnET
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAYSlIdcUquQ
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA8QRvH3OuLh
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAdJPIDeeisw
Inko: “…Huh….?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAu7VeZo1xxC
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jhvc59vTx
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANA5mM8mJZREW
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAIoBAi0A6Ye
Inko: “….All Might?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAXbxUnYPMRI
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAxhQlbjIjJT
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
361Please respect copyright.PENANA1gTtZ0CipC
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAzDqvFG5J6G
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAUKFPEtHssk
Silence and shock.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAkRAv2uGTSw
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAz4m9ZoF6jq
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAi5Sz7qyu7E
Izuku: “Mom…”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA8OmR5NBCZw
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
361Please respect copyright.PENANANvWB7KxOlF
All Might: “Its this normal?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAIANX3jhQof
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAb90ypuF0Zp
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANApDK960PFRm
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAqRkFDOsfFk
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAMA1us9KzAY
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANATKQxwrKPKt
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAnkbw5lIc3d
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
361Please respect copyright.PENANA4WlR8qGiMo
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."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAXF1l8o654D
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANANJJYhWADGm
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
361Please respect copyright.PENANA80AOzyXwyT
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…”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAHprsFQv8f7
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
361Please respect copyright.PENANA392wz17IWC
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!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAWrU8bz0Mhu
Izuku: “I would never!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAldiPBwLisH
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAnqR0Xc12w6
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."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAQCK2VcoUCB
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAUMDOgPRV3g
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
361Please respect copyright.PENANAFApO6SC5cU
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAuDXV2TXunV
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAXOeAS1rJ08
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAjsfBjCMxXo
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAWH7Kn2xFmd
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAe48GX0PvRy
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAEKmykrq0Fr
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAbkOdO54UtE
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAKv9RfbAjBt
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAvMeD9p86iz
Inko: “Hahaha.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA7KThpkqqDb
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA2MeuUlZbb4
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAqYTpToSw5P
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANArwiKl6SXi7
She turns to All Might.
361Please respect copyright.PENANASLBQCrSxXv
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAjipV2pL0HZ
Inko: “All Might.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAEl8tzCLFl6
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANANr2MaNmgJv
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAmDAItvIXl5
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANATGYwxD4X6m
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAsmZGmUkQPg
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
361Please respect copyright.PENANApsBodokdkd
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAes7jAmYHf1
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAIy5XEboxxM
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAS68GpDakeF
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAbv1lDRG3Az
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."
361Please respect copyright.PENANA744M5iZaAm
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAE2h6DxGUlZ
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAzY3O1EGHlC
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAo6gUhnT2ez
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA0al3iTPW4D
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!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA8uvivy7xOq
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!"
361Please respect copyright.PENANANhdtvplae4
Izuku: "All Might…"
361Please respect copyright.PENANAKNox1GVvhu
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAh9iobpM86g
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?"
361Please respect copyright.PENANAlAg1jzPkXK
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAY95evK2mW6
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAsPgsQEGdQA
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAZscQuZsPaL
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAtQUWBiwCtA
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?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAMbCleBtcCi
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
361Please respect copyright.PENANAJHnCNvNeBj
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAiIysQQWxKO
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAccZlmN9eC9
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."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAWzQjUIe8bA
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAbDZa6tBF4q
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!"
361Please respect copyright.PENANA8oug2Wt2hG
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
361Please respect copyright.PENANAzuTNYgTjmt
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?"
361Please respect copyright.PENANA1nrjKCgPJg
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
361Please respect copyright.PENANAjEAdgUsKq4
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAKb1JaW3ZTM
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."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAx66ac64iUn
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAABD0TTCCMt
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."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAWh5m8LuHT0
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAbynFHO0EsO
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?"
361Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ms1k0Cfm6
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAW64iUWIdnM
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!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAnwGQx7KDJ5
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA4vY05ZGlWK
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAAEdKrBSb9e
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAIf7yrYAEey
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."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAgqmbHsnNzp
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAFada5hGXk4
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."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAW5yRUMUUM8
Inko: "Ah!"
361Please respect copyright.PENANAVZQHO1yNA1
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAC6eypt4ePu
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAJa0mENs6V7
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAalskqnPk63
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA4paMQlUTV9
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAa3jrSZ1Yhg
361Please respect copyright.PENANA4DxZGrAT7G
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
361Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0eghtQvzY
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
361Please respect copyright.PENANAhdFxeBocZO
Inko: "Injured!?"
361Please respect copyright.PENANARFkX1qkjly
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAXTBbtoNRwQ
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
361Please respect copyright.PENANA6BJr657oA5
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
361Please respect copyright.PENANA30C9sM9b4a
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ01rr5yxS
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAfdrqtYEGWQ
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
361Please respect copyright.PENANAYqLKSpGTSZ
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
361Please respect copyright.PENANAXJsfiHb6GO
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAka9C7bPtKx
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAq9zI5CgIrK
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAWfyfTT51ML
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAF0H5jJTHoa
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAx8cuy1FEaF
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAFEOAZ4JfhI
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAFKEq3siPUg
All Might: "Lift this."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAg2S9kCVSp5
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAzWv9JFeACG
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAphvkMqBspC
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAuFdMwgXx8B
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.!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAlFJ4aBk543
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANA8XtVAirv2o
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAyGCAzUMsd2
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANApSQJy8JNkd
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAx9wR3fw5lH
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
361Please respect copyright.PENANATEKMrqbf1C
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAgMaWVsV3nl
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
361Please respect copyright.PENANAaMePdnWAMS
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
361Please respect copyright.PENANA11LMjp9aoW
As for Fubuki…
361Please respect copyright.PENANAbqZvOZ6xDp
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
361Please respect copyright.PENANAMLbpPvfDyf
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…
361Please respect copyright.PENANAoYpijxiwbZ
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
361Please respect copyright.PENANA8zF99n1zpk
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
361Please respect copyright.PENANAEnCetiPkB9
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAM4To7a7vFx
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAAF7jrLoMOL
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA8QkagJUK9o
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
361Please respect copyright.PENANASdTHOvo5pk
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?”
361Please respect copyright.PENANArDbWaOs0Td
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANArcDEwKujdc
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAeEDADdgOpE
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
361Please respect copyright.PENANASQoKBWkLUE
Fubuki: “Okay.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANADRCZXDFWaV
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!”
361Please respect copyright.PENANAxRDbGKd2m9
Fubuki: “Right.”
361Please respect copyright.PENANA1RTcpW1gAh
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.
361Please respect copyright.PENANAgcDapGNcC6
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.
