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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAY9xU5C4K2W
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANA9CysEpfx5u
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA3JAE46SgZb
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAcWPiqz4Qfg
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAJONtO4Demj
Izuku: “All Might…”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAqTr45dT48k
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANABfI6FOwoVW
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.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAk0QHXpB5GC
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAPMKsnaj30w
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAHPKNpVgkCK
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANABsxff31nX6
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.’
319Please respect copyright.PENANAWwLjV0RinZ
Later
319Please respect copyright.PENANA4hdMIoaftZ
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAJFWL0Eejn2
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAKBCjkDUbSL
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAaPOmptueny
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAPexiCJ2vwE
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAa8i14BPvZ2
Inko: “…Huh….?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAjS62t3itH4
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAd57Zn7Yro7
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAsBPU5KGaui
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAvhzQEvS4xk
Inko: “….All Might?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANADmncY2PKoE
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAabiSrxMoFC
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
319Please respect copyright.PENANApgRTivopjo
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Jnyc1S5x
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kf5xJNmcD
Silence and shock.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAZ28oXWnWAu
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAtuw56WTRi5
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA3QhCRu1O4D
Izuku: “Mom…”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAvftyfC6eQE
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ82ohWkeL
All Might: “Its this normal?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAUWOt49llk5
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAUtGrJucBFe
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAQbOFRjv6Ug
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAFbGliX8WiC
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANALzhQgAdAxc
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAynC8gdfvgY
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAj1WcckozA5
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAIqsJeSUrWg
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."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAWM7t0kHftq
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAyf1aocnti6
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAzTDfAefSBo
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…”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAu2MD4PyPL9
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
319Please respect copyright.PENANApyoL39bOgT
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!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAcYvKYaZOyO
Izuku: “I would never!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAGPvXJtaTAt
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAGsWuQXHRso
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."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAL0AUR026Tq
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAA99b2u5QX2
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
319Please respect copyright.PENANAzM9ENUkevw
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAvNLvUGZq4c
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAB8M05nR21D
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAtE477uKGOS
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANANsDsBUkoE0
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAV1a7WuwOwE
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
319Please respect copyright.PENANA5aY9YTlzoL
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAmYfUf5rypv
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAZjCd2V8uIt
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANABtlSI55ZgR
Inko: “Hahaha.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAJeh6lJVevR
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA4KSqpgWAfg
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA9L4t5QuCE2
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAYp32wr7r5q
She turns to All Might.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAvBMbh6Br8M
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAUQlcHQ0vPd
Inko: “All Might.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANASrnaCPvThz
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA2ab4ZabUXq
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAnVXmRw0sEt
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAdeBictvs34
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAwjKqk7Cjfn
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAcRfZ5xskd1
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA1fxUYcLGLp
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA9xzFKTBeli
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAxGYfdAdivz
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANATbqw9Vt5Ij
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."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAow0lHAB9v6
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAmoFeRhFaxZ
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAGX6ebiZjrD
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAUDW38bOJaK
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANASPwmM6SC7O
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!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAvdd65yh8XX
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!"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAkS9PXXSieT
Izuku: "All Might…"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAXhFbwpWwkD
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAng4SfxnIZt
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?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zt1S9FIag
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
319Please respect copyright.PENANA5inqWBwqQr
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAGQV6Nu7vJv
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAKp3rfqFnBF
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANATo2Atz3rbb
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?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA9rx3wxyMNY
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
319Please respect copyright.PENANAWmbkLejYLq
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAQSpqrzFkWd
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAFxVE2JUPXp
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."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAplwIk1Ig7c
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAsD4pbCrW7A
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!"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAQpGQFY95qO
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
319Please respect copyright.PENANAt9DjE1iSdg
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?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAG6oq9dEqxP
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAwg0vlfncKV
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAu7dUM4viIi
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."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAVVGBIQSWap
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ0WVImEXn
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."
319Please respect copyright.PENANA3L8UPcLVas
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAwmfjb6X7Eu
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?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAnAV2S6pbya
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAkAezpnB7Pr
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!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAFLMAQBW6uK
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAeqZeZGbL30
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAU2H6iXTv86
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAR7oUd6clR1
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."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAZqOY7HIOWA
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAzjlluY1Npp
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."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAKm75pAT7Vh
Inko: "Ah!"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAA9qDJH0Nap
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAaNyWy6vPas
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAksaFzcqr3c
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
319Please respect copyright.PENANA4sftwRS7yP
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAM73qN0nTAL
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAODXSdmc4lR
319Please respect copyright.PENANAdsJ2PoTlBb
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
319Please respect copyright.PENANAGngyAO6GkN
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAxUx2PTqNIK
Inko: "Injured!?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANAVitIxQ6wNj
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAYR6lnMvFLA
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
319Please respect copyright.PENANABASWBWR4hM
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ6mkG5fj8
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA9WUUFyRWGy
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAJ64jJVFqe8
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
319Please respect copyright.PENANATtZnCy7QML
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
319Please respect copyright.PENANArjH4qf0t2b
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
319Please respect copyright.PENANABfmLM5ZjfX
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAoqFkz861eC
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAL802kJa4Tv
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAVeBq6SEijN
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAkknTZOf7zG
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAkbIsqAT9tG
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAVXpw35iqcx
All Might: "Lift this."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAx1k56wCCyi
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAYeJOon4CAD
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAaoyRwFzF6C
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA5pJnAFAAXN
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.!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA1JHRQHleGy
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAQmTCZx2F3I
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAjwRzwwN6MG
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAHW8VJlSfKl
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
319Please respect copyright.PENANAhfRusWS4p6
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAo9V7RYw93Y
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAijxcAnGYvL
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
319Please respect copyright.PENANA40Wgnm6AQd
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAi5gfpP5GEW
As for Fubuki…
319Please respect copyright.PENANAO1XP25tC35
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
319Please respect copyright.PENANApQNvTUOzM9
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…
319Please respect copyright.PENANAIBvQdLBIpO
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
319Please respect copyright.PENANA5ICTq2LsWY
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
319Please respect copyright.PENANAawrFTfQxH6
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAcudAkb0mov
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA99Ue9LVixx
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANANg3LSEY1Ri
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA2S9Zgjq37X
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?”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAnS34vs28Ro
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAKShhQwsXjK
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA0JFo2ndyyf
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
319Please respect copyright.PENANApHxlK1LaUz
Fubuki: “Okay.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANA4AC8rrrJkj
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!”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAZs5oV04s8u
Fubuki: “Right.”
319Please respect copyright.PENANAhy3dT1OVB4
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.
319Please respect copyright.PENANAWtI3wAtw5q
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.
