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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAI4q0KiekSV
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAhnPTxjiRkf
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAHkKfkcT9St
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAY5krux9Cux
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAF5JLun9ciu
Izuku: “All Might…”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAM9cRgSLvto
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAXCcWe3P3wT
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.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAxLUvDTPAF1
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAf5Q2kqkSjL
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAjOCr914UNE
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAd8HYgWF5o5
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.’
207Please respect copyright.PENANAmHifFTmx67
Later
207Please respect copyright.PENANAAe0i61CWkb
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAQQLi28ott0
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANA1e8yyPKJQd
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAiqJMOP6CFV
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANA2LFHeD5M6T
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAWuUq6bXZPT
Inko: “…Huh….?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAOvvqoDZB4X
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANADzVUaMvGTt
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAejFueonFTV
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAH6thP2SESd
Inko: “….All Might?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAg7opCQDaBz
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANA8UUsX4Xu0Z
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
207Please respect copyright.PENANArcViLBQtd0
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAu3BxPPAexS
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAMorGQ3ftxM
Silence and shock.
207Please respect copyright.PENANA4fS4EfmmpC
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAmPtToSXeTE
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANABV8sY9Ytfs
Izuku: “Mom…”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAgCnvWIVacU
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAY6p6RA9h7l
All Might: “Its this normal?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAf2fpOS8Xan
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAAmsgdWK7WH
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANARl6XG5aA7M
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
207Please respect copyright.PENANACZZ8SGRSLH
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAmFqOgLeU03
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAfapHLZBV1M
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAPgWlQ7FF9m
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
207Please respect copyright.PENANADj0d38AW3a
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."
207Please respect copyright.PENANA51TL4SxGP4
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAIbonvAhdSn
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAtku8Oap4Yl
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…”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAL4y3SKK4An
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAG3Dda1SNOU
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!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAikkYTcjAcv
Izuku: “I would never!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAE78A8nM7Vk
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAE6RfrVlRG2
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."
207Please respect copyright.PENANADjKVmLuhln
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAkTMBhvW8FE
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
207Please respect copyright.PENANA60nQFO3F8V
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
207Please respect copyright.PENANArJPuDFrLNs
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAYow5TOP8BI
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
207Please respect copyright.PENANA9nldEXyeI6
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAS0hB89uKuu
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAYIQRuv9xNc
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAlm9jegRlu6
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAqr3DZXA2DU
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAwvtyilkXCy
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANADqmQoyV4Tv
Inko: “Hahaha.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAGWpb9ZNRju
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANApv6GWrNjFC
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAwLHJwp7qz3
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAXsJgWPvpSe
She turns to All Might.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAhkcyTPB3QI
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANANqVrWYynvY
Inko: “All Might.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAz4EZ0i2ji3
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAFcYGxxasJF
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAhs7BPluVoo
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAtZc3KMH9qS
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANA88cLZYr78E
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
207Please respect copyright.PENANANMkKZQvBuR
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAS6nr5wVWmz
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAjT6pPmzEbG
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAN8ppdOD2LH
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAFlkdZMP9H0
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."
207Please respect copyright.PENANAWjRQqcIqi3
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANA1ui21flXvd
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAuCGp6V3PfJ
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAX6dmpxXyGO
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAnb7pG0aElw
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!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAtmx5CU17Zc
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!"
207Please respect copyright.PENANA04ghBbWMgP
Izuku: "All Might…"
207Please respect copyright.PENANA2hd1SZLZhq
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAWsN7eFZRUH
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?"
207Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4Mm8vyVnd
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
207Please respect copyright.PENANADygzqcanTh
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAl3zn3WllG0
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAhBB9LjtWHi
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAgDAYNjODbC
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?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANArE4Aldzivk
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
207Please respect copyright.PENANA7IE7APxnTQ
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAPlExncasZJ
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
207Please respect copyright.PENANANxvh8gAdGJ
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."
207Please respect copyright.PENANASwo40qA6bF
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAgviLYtf8oK
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!"
207Please respect copyright.PENANAFytVt4rku2
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
207Please respect copyright.PENANA7rd6vGo7hy
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?"
207Please respect copyright.PENANAC1L80eEdFq
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
207Please respect copyright.PENANAciPvRrsGCm
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAlbRFDE7MeK
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."
207Please respect copyright.PENANAo8KEpb2yvk
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANA9at7dMFrOh
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."
207Please respect copyright.PENANAOQRAL92kt9
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAvYVJEwdMmS
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?"
207Please respect copyright.PENANAqOJ0aJIFa4
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANACxSZs8LfOy
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!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAfGEF3DCNqB
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAynS24TXfyL
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
207Please respect copyright.PENANA4hG3fDGIyG
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAL2OVZDo1zI
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."
207Please respect copyright.PENANACorSljPfkh
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
207Please respect copyright.PENANA78q0lIbEHK
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."
207Please respect copyright.PENANAmq9kORaFeR
Inko: "Ah!"
207Please respect copyright.PENANAHFyCuAqFDM
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAa78W9ZvfD7
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAIJzdSrmsVd
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
207Please respect copyright.PENANAOgRC8YOMiK
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAbdvE9WF2gL
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAj0pYL6E0bq
207Please respect copyright.PENANAs4eMwM5cd6
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
207Please respect copyright.PENANAwNe7Sq88rV
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
207Please respect copyright.PENANAMkBKdCehQQ
Inko: "Injured!?"
207Please respect copyright.PENANARaNgTqd8Lb
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAGVEgedgEzN
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
207Please respect copyright.PENANA39grMJ7Swx
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
207Please respect copyright.PENANA28WpdfAZmh
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAyBW13Mo8lN
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
207Please respect copyright.PENANA52Z1hEPXYg
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
207Please respect copyright.PENANA36QU0gEi2B
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
207Please respect copyright.PENANANDv8lfEfU7
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAJQUNHgwK5q
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
207Please respect copyright.PENANAE2XJkkDGaa
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAW9cMu3V38Y
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAM0Sg0cDh2X
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAkHuMEe59xR
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
207Please respect copyright.PENANADoH1mH2EML
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
207Please respect copyright.PENANA4MBB64Yrvy
All Might: "Lift this."
207Please respect copyright.PENANAMVpKeg6h05
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
207Please respect copyright.PENANA72LwKdTTwS
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAQqiBjrdSup
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANA2SGoEn7Rn2
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.!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAnOpzEOIQ6U
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANA0uWJlq9w7u
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAoXh3p2KdEc
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAyP5CgBFGOg
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
207Please respect copyright.PENANArKnWRKSrJp
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAFtdLvnxonL
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAhaFFrYfxC7
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
207Please respect copyright.PENANAsh5qX6ZNll
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAqR6vLx2Q9P
As for Fubuki…
207Please respect copyright.PENANAxjIWf17In9
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
207Please respect copyright.PENANAkS7fdzOmFj
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…
207Please respect copyright.PENANAUGwNlhzReX
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
207Please respect copyright.PENANAA1F7Eu46Sf
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
207Please respect copyright.PENANAdIqiAo3Roe
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANA7mD8fB4TG5
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAYYGv6RM2e0
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAtS8jVjFcII
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAi8xCtuxzUB
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?”
207Please respect copyright.PENANA1KUhNSZrOf
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANArMvskMe55h
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAa5yqLLsJwB
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
207Please respect copyright.PENANA9HoPtQp05v
Fubuki: “Okay.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANApiHbAfUsqQ
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!”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAmn255XuEO4
Fubuki: “Right.”
207Please respect copyright.PENANAdIpipoFHec
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.
207Please respect copyright.PENANAvCQl2CQDMA
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.
