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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAv8F1IhqYoD
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAUXbvT7pkC6
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAAYNNTvh2mn
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
248Please respect copyright.PENANA1kyqHM9Qc9
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAsPXb10ijzo
Izuku: “All Might…”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAaTgcbofoUS
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA8gf1JnDOQC
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.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAYs4lzoPh6H
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAknX2WUrRkE
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAg53qtKGLQ3
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAii2j2exGEs
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.’
248Please respect copyright.PENANABZiVmJWf7t
Later
248Please respect copyright.PENANA1iA1u7zZXa
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANABbaH55V9x6
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANA0xFFjbtkEf
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANACNiKa8yQu8
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANArbLNl4QJga
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANANfW9MenXq7
Inko: “…Huh….?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANANuewY4kWW1
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAGByjcVIa78
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAq4E1rpbP7X
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAbvEXjbP4zL
Inko: “….All Might?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAqJljvbLcvF
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAiMqOgfWSUH
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAQGE61OUbfl
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAakesyeCb1h
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAOS8M5BnGsH
Silence and shock.
248Please respect copyright.PENANArUgmYV0Md2
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAAe7Jv6Xh8U
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAPHJ9wuOd2g
Izuku: “Mom…”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAQb3MUUgSn6
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAHViv0RTVPC
All Might: “Its this normal?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAgSy4kj5C5V
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAs75qC5WY9U
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANASSTkkRjLRt
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAIVDprcxcxx
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAaAZ3WwuD77
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAFOih16356E
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA3TIvZ6m8fz
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
248Please respect copyright.PENANANddpubDcWt
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."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAzeQtLaNZXd
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAdwIcXfh8UW
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
248Please respect copyright.PENANArViBYVK91G
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…”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAL9Jv5J0BQo
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
248Please respect copyright.PENANACljceSoL4E
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!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAiT0FgYocXt
Izuku: “I would never!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAaBhRPOU3BH
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAJaWsc3mrm4
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."
248Please respect copyright.PENANA5AZwlHObkI
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAB78f2mxqKZ
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
248Please respect copyright.PENANAUgSUPRODbY
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAQTrnandYUK
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAv5tUA15KQe
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAy8OWIKPUMn
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANADPhLKi4ZIx
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANANksjRYX7Vh
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAFPIvYsaizD
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAmBcfjsKx3u
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAthGKleCyHL
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAiW36Bgj7X3
Inko: “Hahaha.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAtFxax2kkTk
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAZvTJQKKIZM
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANArXxZ5LT2c9
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA8e46Nxtchg
She turns to All Might.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAZQJVrZyv2V
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAxypEQ28o7X
Inko: “All Might.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANADlMKRBXk7E
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAuLdxE82PeV
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAVqohV52NWu
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAiPYzR7wagR
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAEMMc9QDDUO
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAOSkYNTGDPg
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAmOiLoHlNaU
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAC71EbGELo8
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
248Please respect copyright.PENANALj21FUUoey
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANArEyfmLrDYv
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."
248Please respect copyright.PENANA042KAqIyvI
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAJB6hksilbb
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAMeypQ8kV0K
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAycsiVEVgJK
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAihdL2B8VaU
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!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAlnkQn4kFNJ
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!"
248Please respect copyright.PENANARCchGfGROF
Izuku: "All Might…"
248Please respect copyright.PENANAy5xidGslXM
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
248Please respect copyright.PENANATPldtl56GU
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?"
248Please respect copyright.PENANA6cX9gA1X4x
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAwEhqTsmnxt
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAkE6BZw8GNp
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA5XYZN16tlu
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANACRCvyoZAhR
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?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAFRAk2s39Lf
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
248Please respect copyright.PENANA9q9tLQ0xD0
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA5FYdQrIeTI
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAFEfs4fQgO6
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."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAcei6Mlkhkj
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAFyqvwuJyJb
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!"
248Please respect copyright.PENANAr7poDh01kT
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
248Please respect copyright.PENANAQeKV7zWwxp
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?"
248Please respect copyright.PENANAWxkTWobtUk
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
248Please respect copyright.PENANALX3E4N4fGx
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
248Please respect copyright.PENANADG8aM5stUr
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."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAX2eIjfthwQ
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAA6hUENwtGD
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."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAn0laahqV06
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAZxsDg4UMqd
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?"
248Please respect copyright.PENANAfQd15QQCbP
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANA5A9dwfXra8
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!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAAjYgdPWDPe
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAYzUYcXxbik
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ5kWqgiH3
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4cxRB5zkq
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."
248Please respect copyright.PENANALoqykJhWHs
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAZ50nsUXZSz
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."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAz5UumqJikM
Inko: "Ah!"
248Please respect copyright.PENANAqamGaW5u5S
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAjAk83MuPxV
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAbJrVJxUQ9R
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAYBc7puJ7OO
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAIaQeOwQH1I
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAfhp7LolrhK
248Please respect copyright.PENANAIQzajguYI6
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
248Please respect copyright.PENANAGlZ5WwlyYo
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
248Please respect copyright.PENANARVvzpL709n
Inko: "Injured!?"
248Please respect copyright.PENANAGIIoa7wKab
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAz66jF1XejV
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
248Please respect copyright.PENANAGahF6DE4qR
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
248Please respect copyright.PENANA19r08TThF4
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANALP7DqPNkNZ
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
248Please respect copyright.PENANANuTQw434Js
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
248Please respect copyright.PENANA0HIUVloKJR
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
248Please respect copyright.PENANA5jcG6BbTgJ
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
248Please respect copyright.PENANA5bxTBJ3td8
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
248Please respect copyright.PENANA4z7yAvLDOs
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANACcsbdaHBT0
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAnG8G5eVT30
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAIrqW9ijSdh
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAbFfuzYCTrZ
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAZsDEKgOWq8
All Might: "Lift this."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAnYsMBX3OeX
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAHFDsKIpBxv
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAbceawxtGbE
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAAAgrjxH71b
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.!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAdOjFGlY5PT
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAmOVfIgEaE4
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAAyKcsGfhpZ
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7Wr7OTHfA
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
248Please respect copyright.PENANAevjXtdusNV
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAbswE39au3B
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANA1EK2YQ69bZ
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
248Please respect copyright.PENANATvuKXCtrOj
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
248Please respect copyright.PENANAQghZVyCK2L
As for Fubuki…
248Please respect copyright.PENANASS7CGHy4mS
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
248Please respect copyright.PENANAnSqyIhc7no
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…
248Please respect copyright.PENANAbcIE7xB2L0
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
248Please respect copyright.PENANAQv8kZCM14f
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
248Please respect copyright.PENANAxmIruM0bKO
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAp9gxDvcrWF
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA8loH8BHZGL
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA583RCxJ8A4
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAYhosSDqczf
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?”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAFrEZoEva7Y
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAC1OWyWaevk
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA8E1DqHUi2W
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
248Please respect copyright.PENANAmTRiet4yei
Fubuki: “Okay.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA3UFunfkI9G
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!”
248Please respect copyright.PENANA16OlJ512YC
Fubuki: “Right.”
248Please respect copyright.PENANAssCMVWINmt
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.
248Please respect copyright.PENANALE1lp5jeqU
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.
