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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAvkGDHrKx1B
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAFH6VooZ6hx
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANABNHXoaEbmC
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5DDOllFcfX
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANATJ2OkLV4zN
Izuku: “All Might…”
327Please respect copyright.PENANASK6bSHNjzy
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAGtqk8Pym63
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.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAVyXRmdHaIz
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAXgWcatgG2p
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA3qV5r8Br4Q
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA4ICDnNtndO
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.’
327Please respect copyright.PENANAId5xp7qYQB
Later
327Please respect copyright.PENANAoYdlO2VCq7
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANADd3pXfWzRh
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAkYHR9VyIem
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANATP3Sn8XYDQ
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA4VfrvKQYRR
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAR69CXFy8ZD
Inko: “…Huh….?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAeTIBoFzAme
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA2BZoI9AaIw
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAC1n3sHY7Qf
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAjRVeLb6VMn
Inko: “….All Might?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAicknMFo66A
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA4cSqCWXFki
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAXSuD3ZDn7w
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAqwFlPE0qty
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA9rx0cAhdGo
Silence and shock.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA4kFA04IwJY
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
327Please respect copyright.PENANASx6FMQLdXr
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAaHahUCtQjP
Izuku: “Mom…”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAkL0wRM9ZwL
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA1gwESeLN0X
All Might: “Its this normal?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA116gnGLWmE
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAlwzj6A0j2u
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA1YNpvfxPcQ
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAdRwmbAhmPD
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAIj6C9Y7SvA
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAE75hNahwOP
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHFBBGpz8NN
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQLR8pVsYQ4
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."
327Please respect copyright.PENANARsEokpzMiA
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAX8CjwNjqUO
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAV65vD4RZ1Q
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…”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAeBTCSQr2Is
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtX2MctLxRF
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!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA1X8axFvrZi
Izuku: “I would never!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA8SJTtyxt71
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAIVuZHi0FIU
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."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAn9z3f5CRf5
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAnj4LvlMyLE
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
327Please respect copyright.PENANAE6iPzSxE1d
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAPyk69bHMmE
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAmw9rSHc21N
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA106QPSkW5B
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA7zWRXZLN7S
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAj0yVNb7qRF
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
327Please respect copyright.PENANADRqJWaPbX0
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAMaw3WcVYyv
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAT1CoPSUv87
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5y0yyi4CH7
Inko: “Hahaha.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAlc7Q3q212y
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA4taMbkzIj5
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANApQGG1Ur0RX
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAYCmBhFIdxg
She turns to All Might.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAl7uTRvNpE1
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAY2KxJKWeHT
Inko: “All Might.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAChob4pKCND
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAUSzcZoUzzJ
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAZHZkJ4idfe
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAwWHOZqExOW
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAvJxxtlTB8G
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHEiELgHtdv
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
327Please respect copyright.PENANACAYoo9BGDZ
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAqNm1wDWNT3
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA76khMiWEhE
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAq7KKNQfq0p
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."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtQjuxVVs7n
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAfn9lcbrQV7
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAkVC2EIcQsA
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAuIM0S2IuW7
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtLAh27zg7m
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!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHkuCKYR98W
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!"
327Please respect copyright.PENANAdBmFRjmBgt
Izuku: "All Might…"
327Please respect copyright.PENANAEeP04ZrEsq
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA6TiV6LLw38
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?"
327Please respect copyright.PENANARCxchzjl4O
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAEg4zwoU9QR
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAjCLJYseF0H
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAurNJsqb2f1
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAwuVUGSOl1B
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?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAVcQPcNW2of
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
327Please respect copyright.PENANA71e88lB0Dr
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAWc6KdEJapH
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA6ON5TIDzbZ
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."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAdngdy9XhKZ
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAiG1TrjZnjR
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!"
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtqbUTt3cYg
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
327Please respect copyright.PENANAVCToRttXTe
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?"
327Please respect copyright.PENANA1nOXGDGY7l
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
327Please respect copyright.PENANAmM34RCs4gi
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
327Please respect copyright.PENANABeKMHCwoSb
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."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAGDQcR61qL9
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAYoVmbdmz1u
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."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAhZJDzHuU98
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAsCDk9QxBcY
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?"
327Please respect copyright.PENANAuyaovEHJ43
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAZlsjiUfep2
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!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAzwE1IwEaON
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAFlRJcp24k9
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAAh2a5NIorz
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQ42ONuKq0m
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."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAUbjIGru0fy
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA6xNhQmkFgc
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."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAnJrHl8rzmD
Inko: "Ah!"
327Please respect copyright.PENANAOUURKHhyeJ
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAM4Uo8kKHS4
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAzm9AAWUwvq
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAebfwCQh5FC
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAAsSAvo1ZFv
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA24rehgrFxp
327Please respect copyright.PENANApHp7GsZ6tS
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
327Please respect copyright.PENANA3t6lT6x2FU
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
327Please respect copyright.PENANAziuFVBtN6j
Inko: "Injured!?"
327Please respect copyright.PENANAfwCwadU52d
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAxMsw4Dbhac
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
327Please respect copyright.PENANApsAZ7OjkiS
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtkd8HXFjgO
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA7VckctmVbc
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAxcXmw5h1Eg
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
327Please respect copyright.PENANAUT9i425EbV
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
327Please respect copyright.PENANAkhdN5kVg3Q
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtRmKZma7PM
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAfsllN7Rwle
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAhSu4slGNJp
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAb7JbmQ7c34
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAYy0GkyJIrT
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAg8olw7nHhC
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAt158olmRPq
All Might: "Lift this."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAhLMcplqp15
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAls5rkC6fe7
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAf6NlWk9VPy
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAJKqG4Prgbp
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.!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAXlqXGJdyYu
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA9bDdoarStw
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAqpBQZs9vMw
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAvXmGTh7m2a
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
327Please respect copyright.PENANA56R7JnXMDG
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQfgR5TtqXK
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAL1YUp0zEtB
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
327Please respect copyright.PENANAcGNdMgIca0
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5my8Xfp9gH
As for Fubuki…
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5ShvaHanhr
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
327Please respect copyright.PENANAfXOltH0Asm
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…
327Please respect copyright.PENANAMD2S0kpXbm
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5VU4mENl6L
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
327Please respect copyright.PENANAnj4DmBJuHQ
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANArttY4HHiwz
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAPThejqOA3I
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAIvBZDTgYYz
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAo37DYiU1pA
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?”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAeZRh292DF0
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANA4bMHu4cotM
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtCixotHbV6
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
327Please respect copyright.PENANAOuBZciTMvL
Fubuki: “Okay.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANANM4a1m19k1
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!”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAij17pSyUd4
Fubuki: “Right.”
327Please respect copyright.PENANAyLUkzPXhQ2
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.
327Please respect copyright.PENANAhtZzzM7N62
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.
