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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAp4n51dn0cH
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAKPkeLvYTQc
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAmbdS9aQpfA
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAcUVCfJuAOd
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANA4N910jHWaB
Izuku: “All Might…”
330Please respect copyright.PENANANoPx5VhB60
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAbYNYiGEbHL
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.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANApIXSFs7nRm
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAIm6hba865V
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAVMzrEMMYyf
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAJcxsEA76lp
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.’
330Please respect copyright.PENANAyNJerVVbVG
Later
330Please respect copyright.PENANANJG7jzzl18
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAC9oLBgE9CG
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANArniZJlLR8Q
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAaxl5wqQOFK
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAe5XNbW8KOs
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANA1ogT5eGzfC
Inko: “…Huh….?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANA2rQdeTlhv3
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAzrqlyg25eY
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANACwXcJoZpfS
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAkEWJxEOSGv
Inko: “….All Might?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAh7HKl2q4aC
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAAciKzZWv01
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAKAzekmm1z0
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAwaN0kXA2Gx
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAZzs0dh06Qq
Silence and shock.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAJabC6MCLdF
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
330Please respect copyright.PENANA9prdNvC3Pj
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAlxiENRPZKG
Izuku: “Mom…”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAtXHgoQYmgQ
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
330Please respect copyright.PENANATYhN06MXOW
All Might: “Its this normal?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAahY3MduLbI
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAJlrun25EI6
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAM3R1xeXsWh
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
330Please respect copyright.PENANA6k13QQQKje
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAilfYYx7pKZ
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAQP9pzR8e3h
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAUloNkyF7MV
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAGkvHTEJiBA
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."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAfwSOo6nwBz
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAWu4R0CZ9Z9
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAKZjOsGcQ43
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…”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAUHgQBwcAV7
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAt8bwBDpZbC
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!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAiKA7qAzrUk
Izuku: “I would never!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAplCmN5tHa9
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAf0iLv05WKX
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."
330Please respect copyright.PENANABSX7eIIZai
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANATlh6wAHY8f
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
330Please respect copyright.PENANAkrk1An9ejL
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAA9MRag1uWE
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAoYesNQ1HD8
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAhqkmMRZj57
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAX0h2mw0Lqu
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANANcoB1eBrdu
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAzRvaL6t2Br
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAmeTDi3FGNX
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAfhu6O8WTwr
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANA9cRpmF35fr
Inko: “Hahaha.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAskjakveJPP
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAdyvUtibu0d
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAz7uMCf2E7V
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANALKQP6DZ7w8
She turns to All Might.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAH0v9c2wi3I
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANABC3kqe1qix
Inko: “All Might.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAKBj8wL2lNP
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANA8qpMXsuGz8
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAkb6ON0fvkq
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANA0QazGUERZk
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAaCzmJzSe2a
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAwm3coaqOTD
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAnAvvenfAlv
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAePHqWwUuDx
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAuYq1HkUHzn
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAhYTA6VSMhR
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."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAbM5Gn52H7u
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANA9rWSFtKA18
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAdckN0v9UOs
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAH1VylKaY9e
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAZXi3E6SuPa
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!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAyh91dVaux4
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!"
330Please respect copyright.PENANAIFHnwCajiL
Izuku: "All Might…"
330Please respect copyright.PENANAWLR0PKTK6X
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAmd2y9IXtQW
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?"
330Please respect copyright.PENANAiFvA5UiglG
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAhicf6raGpy
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAaxMCIUupFO
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAPgApn5S5Gd
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAXo1bNVvXxV
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?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANALvzFGZhiGf
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
330Please respect copyright.PENANAY6dgdM233h
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANA8BInvN6zIX
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
330Please respect copyright.PENANA4RWFJH6IXj
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."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAMDq7ZWZpyB
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
330Please respect copyright.PENANArm5wSiryk4
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!"
330Please respect copyright.PENANAY45P4WfVbI
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
330Please respect copyright.PENANAhxwDDFKT50
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?"
330Please respect copyright.PENANApS5hf9wg8J
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
330Please respect copyright.PENANAULMtRIAaDJ
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAgKh0YknQsJ
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."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAjIHoPP9KS7
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9be3NgRXC
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."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAJswTMNyznC
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
330Please respect copyright.PENANACXlgnllHpq
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?"
330Please respect copyright.PENANABI4jv4xNsI
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAkvbXxcEcR7
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!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAczhOGNPvyN
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANA2CFlh9Mo6f
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAy9F9PYcRyt
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAnR6xTz41Z3
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."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAXj6GrB7zBb
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
330Please respect copyright.PENANA2w7hHNDUEq
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."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAhrlzAYJ4vL
Inko: "Ah!"
330Please respect copyright.PENANAXRm2BLxdYs
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAO8uoEl6FUR
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
330Please respect copyright.PENANA90nOXlfwXo
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAUlVEo6Hiwx
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANACC3U2pfDnx
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAyplEchIBAY
330Please respect copyright.PENANAsfxhAuZEzw
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
330Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ3vKkVv0E
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
330Please respect copyright.PENANABoVvePEHeo
Inko: "Injured!?"
330Please respect copyright.PENANAJFDz0AlyXt
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAsQdy3aJq49
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
330Please respect copyright.PENANAZpcdNEKFh4
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAcdAk9UBFYi
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAygJIExpqhs
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
330Please respect copyright.PENANABtJ0m03TYW
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
330Please respect copyright.PENANAUbKCYx19pm
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
330Please respect copyright.PENANAk0HJdvlzpd
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAud9v0tvRNg
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAeDW50PcgrD
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANATQKdHMBDgo
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAXiCA56FusN
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
330Please respect copyright.PENANADlATHIGVNO
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAwfOWmM82p3
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAOkwQwCF1f1
All Might: "Lift this."
330Please respect copyright.PENANA5BzeYv7uCw
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAjzGr6UjNRK
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAfpFVzfZtA8
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAByYrksI13S
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.!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAJLyG4npFdT
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAF09aNDXOmD
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9qaZGkw5l
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAzr3mPQaPLJ
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAaL7DJePoHD
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAKyp31ixcDV
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAFNti0A7OcS
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
330Please respect copyright.PENANAsLsAr01Fml
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
330Please respect copyright.PENANAnl3GBEC8Fv
As for Fubuki…
330Please respect copyright.PENANACdFeBqsc7k
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
330Please respect copyright.PENANA18YALQ9noL
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…
330Please respect copyright.PENANA2rRs0ttyVc
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
330Please respect copyright.PENANAK8mRnNGR2x
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
330Please respect copyright.PENANAE7rLyykI2L
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANApZmjfnvIBo
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAfI39ebLq9F
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAHDeQqBo9TJ
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
330Please respect copyright.PENANArBOZEXE5uL
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?”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAvH1Otii0vJ
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAIRwrXVzSlQ
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAWVkMn9ufCT
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
330Please respect copyright.PENANAxa61rV6Pmg
Fubuki: “Okay.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAlyGU0AKpV4
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!”
330Please respect copyright.PENANAUQKu4D1UYa
Fubuki: “Right.”
330Please respect copyright.PENANA8ADvn75GdC
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.
330Please respect copyright.PENANATNjtj6r7x0
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.
