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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAdmJMj41SOE
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAZpylkoPNPY
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA2hyC43ofPt
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAUcUZXgdjon
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xo9614HJU
Izuku: “All Might…”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAhZsLFiPLvA
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANACr927ePEik
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.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAA6TCnDQEXT
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA1ll3O38LnX
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAVpMOE99Hcm
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA8O9T8fAq29
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.’
218Please respect copyright.PENANALWnpOHWtQc
Later
218Please respect copyright.PENANAUWyE8XZsuY
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAjNcH1UfCzQ
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA22qwsuaUbE
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAOXKwrGXUea
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAfduyQ9ZNfr
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAPubpwf1WEG
Inko: “…Huh….?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAu8SS8wxqwz
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAzCAkgOFGpt
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAe8yoba0aUg
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA0aT0mjGwh0
Inko: “….All Might?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANADT6HOYHz7B
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAiQp2V0PM4g
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAEPi6379j4Z
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAnOhxq3V8hk
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAffUiY00NoB
Silence and shock.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAhvkGRFcixP
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA9rYGrlZhph
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAwpDeFUYiN3
Izuku: “Mom…”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAVB05yykUGt
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA1fLrg062sW
All Might: “Its this normal?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAMCSqS1scWv
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAUplTuyLe1l
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANASuq0qdXH0W
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAeRng9fBVP3
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANADfuJv4FVvA
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAPIp4KXTpwS
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAyuSDjhz8M7
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
218Please respect copyright.PENANALqdUwDPRsv
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."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAqMP4GsHxjw
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAqhIC8FlYuE
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAqo2Mgva1Uc
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…”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAwWc0M59boc
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAFivQfslwWs
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!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAt7QVYyV6QU
Izuku: “I would never!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAgKPd4W2pIE
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAotMCNh4fGp
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."
218Please respect copyright.PENANADkxaQgmwNu
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA8eoi0jNgeM
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
218Please respect copyright.PENANAEospF1r7Wa
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAc1PJmd80LD
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAD3wzk8xDcm
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
218Please respect copyright.PENANApdgTupphbn
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAQATVw9gqYs
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAoLQvoA17fv
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAAAfgx7tAHC
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAtvG0jf0k7P
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAoHzGjDtNJC
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAIsgHwhsiFo
Inko: “Hahaha.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA2lSmh11dOA
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAmdgpMfOk6i
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAV5AJDAepPz
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA84Wvof4fyR
She turns to All Might.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAmdtGCg6mBf
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAuEkVE1FjU8
Inko: “All Might.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAo3P6vqD0oB
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA9PdJrigZIf
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAlAwAileVlO
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAu29BhoUHii
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA2M7vGDTh4v
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAKmCnM9vR3D
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAHyFuqu5r2b
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAAcjKigbYcM
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAxQVWeuWHy3
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4S0Fmn8tb
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."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAMV4XR3hvrd
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA2ANr5onCja
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAzHCtc4ldj9
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAG3WFcZcwFO
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAv4T4mBPI94
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!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAJdxwewVFp8
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!"
218Please respect copyright.PENANA3jpXzB3FvL
Izuku: "All Might…"
218Please respect copyright.PENANA0SRbepssDZ
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAmseAuwFMaF
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?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANA0nGOY0mtHO
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAawau8KSAqK
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA8UGDHOSNKN
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAHTDbP70kUO
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAiSENSKcJVz
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?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAk6nP7P1Zjr
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
218Please respect copyright.PENANAUTvEK4tnsG
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAFBnSDlM7As
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA6GnRRodbbB
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."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAC6Rzh7JXdi
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2fYP1xj1i
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!"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAj86w3j89zy
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
218Please respect copyright.PENANAgRsRmgdg2j
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?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAdonJmU3C6q
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAzgI91hMGvO
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
218Please respect copyright.PENANALqQeFudSQN
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."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAuiOKsfax1F
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAlVpLNojtl6
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."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAkZmoFe1hz4
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAgEisoUY7E2
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?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAImgutZEATc
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAmRGfvfgn13
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!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAGnw2HEB4Tm
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAXlTNEXMT11
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAezJABITlah
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAR5oIijqRIF
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."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAMFjnyQ0OXT
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAU9ci5ztxpm
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."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAwx77mjstu7
Inko: "Ah!"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAaaYXJ70jsq
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA0QwdJUkcnL
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA9h75kMUtEQ
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAKSTNkf36PK
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAUhRBj7rldF
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAGzYnS9aX3C
218Please respect copyright.PENANAqZlwhwlfiQ
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
218Please respect copyright.PENANAWmJ7EioND0
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Wo9CirnD
Inko: "Injured!?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAe8podvsySh
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAnYIrQkrDxH
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
218Please respect copyright.PENANAJkmQqqdtS7
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAAvv4b35cZ6
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAwUjqL0MeBA
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAZnnFlNMJtk
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
218Please respect copyright.PENANAPwN2bbvrMB
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
218Please respect copyright.PENANArsuLt1AA1s
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
218Please respect copyright.PENANALaYug1HIsy
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAs8lEErSO19
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANALyGNk0QMGl
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANARDG6IznCMs
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA2JVnKb5xrm
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAtjFt0G6hEc
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA2tIOmqOYRU
All Might: "Lift this."
218Please respect copyright.PENANA0nwPAAVY5P
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
218Please respect copyright.PENANA7qpvYubLgH
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAi0hW0smgWR
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANANDypYY39Ae
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.!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANALlgTS0LKyw
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAhRBmoujCKC
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
218Please respect copyright.PENANANVdheSpS5F
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAezPbxVwdXV
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAM7WuqoxIOg
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAcyfyNJvk7p
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAZEd05OI9HF
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
218Please respect copyright.PENANAVu6K8IrR3v
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
218Please respect copyright.PENANA3KT6nOqp4H
As for Fubuki…
218Please respect copyright.PENANAsKw2LhfblZ
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
218Please respect copyright.PENANA4AwYUwMTSh
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…
218Please respect copyright.PENANAl1YHT4cOXU
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
218Please respect copyright.PENANANeQxFm6G0I
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
218Please respect copyright.PENANAs3pbPxGf8h
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAl9H2q712XV
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANA1q7AEuqqcy
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANArQVpoGn3DL
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAaddvlh6NF0
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?”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAqRTjMFly42
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAOYVnV8HNGw
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAClLxZayB9r
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
218Please respect copyright.PENANA51cELXUjcP
Fubuki: “Okay.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAoUQM8BpN3Z
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!”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAQTtSmTHJ8l
Fubuki: “Right.”
218Please respect copyright.PENANAXTl2dFMOlX
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.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAkcbBEQrQeo
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.
