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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANABB5cm0wzfj
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAGuhsZS2ns5
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAF7FdnFWlYg
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAFHRSBP5kJG
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAaBCmjjy9jY
Izuku: “All Might…”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAiAi6gRIITy
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAu7V3DvUpJY
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.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAYervlyDoLJ
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAIYzP0jji7H
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
320Please respect copyright.PENANARIKHXUrb6e
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA1xBJJCNqCI
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.’
320Please respect copyright.PENANAYpZh2LXeus
Later
320Please respect copyright.PENANANSBJaTzkft
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANA8nHEToB5EY
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAoNG8pcfp4Z
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANArAolEH3T4b
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAx79bpyeuxL
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAKvw8NP3fkm
Inko: “…Huh….?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAro3AEr7v5e
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2iW8RcjqH
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAOkU5NJedKd
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAMIhKoR1cwk
Inko: “….All Might?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAjxc228QiKx
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAUEmu3IPc9y
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAqaSATPaRkU
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAHiSXTPyYY6
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ5FHSBoF9
Silence and shock.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAPNVDkSBWha
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
320Please respect copyright.PENANATX7Y1lCyrh
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA2UeZt6QHQv
Izuku: “Mom…”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAJidLSrO4Fb
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAGeil5WYJN4
All Might: “Its this normal?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAm8sHDj0MW6
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAa2UlafRGYi
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAJgFs6s8Xtk
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
320Please respect copyright.PENANA9teUUrkmXm
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA11mus7uBET
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAiaztPHwmpo
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANABDbtzfGDKd
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
320Please respect copyright.PENANA6fIpt1WVSo
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."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAFXecmpyUfe
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA8OWm7Zy4i5
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
320Please respect copyright.PENANALfv9pvPtYd
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…”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAYLl8krB2va
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAniiSi7xhXK
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!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA0mpKG17PYa
Izuku: “I would never!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAuxlpsVzGR4
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAKgV2lOvAF0
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."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAOM5iolCJ2f
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANApBZ32ODjDY
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
320Please respect copyright.PENANABIBzcRLeAl
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAWklzdue3mH
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAPB0t9C2eB0
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAvrQyRk4nfh
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA9Cx0C9FjlB
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAPNmjGQFBj6
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAXhTSHQR5XF
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA4S0CILHO10
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
320Please respect copyright.PENANA1TbMpcwdMK
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA3wYW0nWeJA
Inko: “Hahaha.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANARmEXt90WbI
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANASrCMFBi3h1
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANACIlPCWTbaC
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAHWbBgj50fK
She turns to All Might.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAMAOHf0OBh7
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAIb1itHkzq0
Inko: “All Might.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAwne3YzwpfT
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAya8G7OBOke
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAJE6NLgP1Pe
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAYCBICdClFQ
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAtcTyzGop2r
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAd59gW3DKgD
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAi3bQkKKzZE
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA5XQ5cHZvwL
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZmP9ScUuI
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAiQwbOypWGh
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."
320Please respect copyright.PENANA0VNuS7ByVy
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAmbFgnYDaBz
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAb6sul4EVB4
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAUbThFCUbTw
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAj3WkrKlaV5
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!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA0hBY6O9Lp8
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!"
320Please respect copyright.PENANAGs2EtialyV
Izuku: "All Might…"
320Please respect copyright.PENANAJPovnWLUbm
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAkJRu9i5Whw
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?"
320Please respect copyright.PENANAW0m7ozqocR
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAUTegnrwEt0
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAyAe484ATwz
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAseRAX7VyzK
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANACJV2hmjRfK
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?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAqHh1V5b7FW
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
320Please respect copyright.PENANAdRXXvpzLkF
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAex0tXWOdij
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
320Please respect copyright.PENANA7aIuMshtc2
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."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAUZhlDyl4JH
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAiPMHl4FrMD
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!"
320Please respect copyright.PENANAvlkXECxZ3l
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
320Please respect copyright.PENANAlLLsY4JSkA
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?"
320Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3jc3ePRdx
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
320Please respect copyright.PENANAChrWsEC41v
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAhbMpsSiU11
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."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAqJGDcud8sa
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAcvi16dVwKo
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."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAI7s8FfV7df
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAUzIAqJdwsJ
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?"
320Please respect copyright.PENANA0YK2iRG7Ku
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAAvqFn00nha
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!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAQpXioLcR4q
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAmMXEDEWqcA
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
320Please respect copyright.PENANA3V9reDsacv
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAo8JAjiRYLY
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."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAq4Nmn1Wdu8
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAzX9WXs7NEl
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."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAc0Db4HkS09
Inko: "Ah!"
320Please respect copyright.PENANATM63wptjws
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAh4pUYy92lg
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAzsvfEqUJt8
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAewwsdZZ5B8
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAl6N9hTzXBL
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAsywmVTYMoF
320Please respect copyright.PENANA5quNp1qoE7
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
320Please respect copyright.PENANAZw0IChtP1T
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
320Please respect copyright.PENANA3YgXBfJiLb
Inko: "Injured!?"
320Please respect copyright.PENANARdbaqzFGx6
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
320Please respect copyright.PENANA1sCXOOctLZ
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
320Please respect copyright.PENANAM07A6D4u5g
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
320Please respect copyright.PENANACOZ7zN63JO
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAfy8NTM6ACY
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
320Please respect copyright.PENANARm3jxNshxy
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
320Please respect copyright.PENANAVPn1J4yJvX
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
320Please respect copyright.PENANAjbXI7KHd9o
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAoBWdbJMT3V
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAvB1xthPnVE
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAmwsdvQeruu
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAOlfioLVMr9
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAimCKpLGaoe
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAt4mTuv3lFr
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAJf41jeyTjE
All Might: "Lift this."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAaHC5lpC2A9
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
320Please respect copyright.PENANANDgBbV4CgA
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAJa6u98wFR7
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAjOTU8yKku0
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.!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA2awJ1oA60c
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAHhxTxjChKf
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAqhNJLjzPih
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA9J8fbhiLxj
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAOYZKCgcKcu
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAF4rcfR9lfS
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAFHUQfRdEKD
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
320Please respect copyright.PENANAjrSVSL2YkD
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAkOpktNqXz7
As for Fubuki…
320Please respect copyright.PENANA6A9fyM10GJ
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
320Please respect copyright.PENANAimcNJ3jBbq
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…
320Please respect copyright.PENANAJaTsfqag9m
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
320Please respect copyright.PENANAU5O0ZT9AMj
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
320Please respect copyright.PENANAlhcnFFGsh9
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAfjiLNnofoz
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAnSQuWRZUwY
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA0BEePIpTlG
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAsfW4vChlHF
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?”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA9LiE5Drfy2
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAirMr34OjzC
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAv2e51WrdtU
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
320Please respect copyright.PENANA2vuaQNAoAP
Fubuki: “Okay.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7rgsGDnAo
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!”
320Please respect copyright.PENANAp1joEZTqi6
Fubuki: “Right.”
320Please respect copyright.PENANA8niwWIqWmz
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.
320Please respect copyright.PENANAqnOb140pbV
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.
