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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANADKXMoVIArI
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA6WczGtCefx
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANADQCOBlg9wG
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAFaRBXjg1Qy
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANANCLuwy9fEe
Izuku: “All Might…”
652Please respect copyright.PENANALyOF4CelJz
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA535b2E7LMP
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.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAdxWeZ4zZCa
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAcLz1gAj8Cy
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAfw11QWmLke
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAkvsSbRo69h
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.’
652Please respect copyright.PENANAsnJuJtlQZU
Later
652Please respect copyright.PENANAPmHfkQ043y
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAoOIHR8XHy6
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAGKd1uKazdn
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAMtZFYhnsF2
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA2zwSm9fWbv
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAfLUK5dzG6P
Inko: “…Huh….?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAxanjxnp1sH
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAJnNiAhhajD
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA9s64nfmZSg
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAXoK1eeuBm7
Inko: “….All Might?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA26wOxRKECI
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA9emWkTtZE4
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z3ahM6V19
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAfcTBa7ILNg
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAlqgNzfjlsY
Silence and shock.
652Please respect copyright.PENANATAYV8MF3uy
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAPGpfktHAHp
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANALeHMqE61jE
Izuku: “Mom…”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA48ww1BqFHm
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAsuuqAfPB8T
All Might: “Its this normal?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAx5qoiBlYVB
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAdloMdnEqIs
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA4ICE30fBOn
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAswwZerZvtI
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA5AautnA7qe
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAM8zNIeUDFT
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAR6Fa861Ac8
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA4MnSJA97M6
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."
652Please respect copyright.PENANATiqh5VR9xF
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAOMMoG9FafW
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAmxoIZWxc08
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…”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAIuZgMf8Gmv
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAHYG0ppsQKD
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!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANACyZcFzRWVr
Izuku: “I would never!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA4GASg4kEfU
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA57Nay7ymy2
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."
652Please respect copyright.PENANA165nrHcMAn
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAh3hKNkLy2M
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
652Please respect copyright.PENANAwujQCT64TA
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAF5h9UcSKBC
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAZLNvwLSqU1
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZeYuJServ
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANApDU63CGtVg
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAgPJxIaaNN1
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAM8gNBYUjbn
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA1QbQ4wzfdg
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAmdD2rM0bJp
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAYOtFi7wkt1
Inko: “Hahaha.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAjd7dBxzsCV
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA5w4kihYyvW
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA7UvwJo1OrK
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA8PYwbepvd2
She turns to All Might.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA5DviDeeg6w
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAyRwhH8nWZd
Inko: “All Might.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAJstK0lub76
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAahTAzhshUK
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAN6rclWrd90
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAQVIrZmRc3l
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANApbh1PEbpVx
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
652Please respect copyright.PENANADEiOfAsGQW
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
652Please respect copyright.PENANARs8MznenAk
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANArZwlchipT8
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA6qr6eErD5J
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAR1FpvYzGBc
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."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAGy9PfNLz64
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA3gqngy9IYn
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y0Y5YJXwo
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAJVrnnCxTZt
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANASxt4giy5eB
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!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAly0ynwmVmA
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!"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAa3taaBvez6
Izuku: "All Might…"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAd0uRFv9pbC
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAhFElmcfL84
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?"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAT60YkG96d6
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAlLCBpX2qKO
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAGiWfBMNxz2
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAR3HTMCcuSa
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAFBeN9S7SjV
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?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAo86ms8v4zU
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
652Please respect copyright.PENANAwyKis2WQEX
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA5sxWggudMW
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAarridTZEyr
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."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAVFvBumtTKX
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAEbktSyCza1
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!"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAS9Xx4XS6n6
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
652Please respect copyright.PENANAJobcDtWc3f
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?"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAmUy82j9liX
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
652Please respect copyright.PENANARYq8mpEWoe
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAo77LREPX46
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."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAcZlhUf90pS
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA0iyhc3Eg2k
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."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAoVltc2cY0l
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAr4pHMznKtv
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?"
652Please respect copyright.PENANA0n3HiOrTcw
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAie2pWBy3DK
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!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAfUBItH9pSV
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAzCidB12xTX
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
652Please respect copyright.PENANASfkPGoFgS9
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA9cEs9Pri9N
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."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAQcyw7AcazY
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
652Please respect copyright.PENANArecNga0eeO
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."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAXxEbVbfusO
Inko: "Ah!"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAn4bV91Id6J
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAzADPdrEm3L
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAaVeP6yKPdP
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAirLNr78hwG
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAZyYrjKNUqJ
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAiHURWySpkH
652Please respect copyright.PENANAHoe7Qc5P55
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
652Please respect copyright.PENANAsOLNEvHiVN
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAFaOhHYKddG
Inko: "Injured!?"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAWM0W6lIASY
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
652Please respect copyright.PENANArw0BrsRR9s
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAxfLPc4XVaC
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
652Please respect copyright.PENANACjc5bx3Gd7
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAEos3uFGWP3
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAcqpcwd3cKe
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
652Please respect copyright.PENANAGnGJivmADh
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
652Please respect copyright.PENANAuD9KCbMU60
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAPP1fCBz3Q5
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAOpjbsbG42A
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANANYbyY9puCZ
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAm3sykfuquP
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA0aiK2tHOwY
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAZrq1R5RTHN
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
652Please respect copyright.PENANA4pkWszEK4S
All Might: "Lift this."
652Please respect copyright.PENANA9gGGOR6nSg
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAX723DZdAtq
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANACN30egUFny
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAMLLOIKDx4O
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.!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA2YLlvfqroC
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAnKpdzwPtei
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAoRRhnaq0u5
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAxztY5PTAlT
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
652Please respect copyright.PENANA2nPnyzYcIW
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAjIx5b4Bca9
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAph3TwgU8P9
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
652Please respect copyright.PENANAbmWUB5z7AO
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAUYqcFUs2co
As for Fubuki…
652Please respect copyright.PENANAwNoplatvgq
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
652Please respect copyright.PENANAVqJerEYwCN
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…
652Please respect copyright.PENANALdUlq8jPJT
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
652Please respect copyright.PENANAmaCQ6i0DPJ
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
652Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2FY536TgV
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA6wzniDuq9N
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAb528GbjcJe
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAZC6dF4qDNB
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAPDrfs8kdlS
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?”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA7tmGN1FDn3
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANASKwpHXTkj8
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAmj2Y09sE5n
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
652Please respect copyright.PENANACH8YbqRTRW
Fubuki: “Okay.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ6Hpsdnlv
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!”
652Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Rr0pByaY
Fubuki: “Right.”
652Please respect copyright.PENANA7XPWoIwL98
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.
652Please respect copyright.PENANAUf8VJZHv9m
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.
