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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANATqhDRD6wK8
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAPP4AToW6K8
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAgMdKPRuDf2
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAG0qlolH53P
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAdVdgs8w9gB
Izuku: “All Might…”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAIKlqSZNMKH
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAyfiIktcfZp
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.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA08fsjvk7ZY
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAkilCQ2BI1X
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAKzxYd0xOWQ
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAaHrWpSqzWP
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.’
516Please respect copyright.PENANAG7xBFiih6T
Later
516Please respect copyright.PENANATjbk0WKtRA
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA7e3RxBQ3i7
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAcoCRKV8Te8
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA2sfHg1yXMi
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAhjKy8CRhxM
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAveGSC5C0SN
Inko: “…Huh….?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA7zOS5FDXT1
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAF6e4t6uwx7
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAMzJCf385Pw
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAj90zIBIJbG
Inko: “….All Might?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAHJhk0pxf1O
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAKrjOJzwCJQ
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAXiwx7ekmhq
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAjYPQVBodnd
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAUqOlLxe8Y7
Silence and shock.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAKXly7KUP8d
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAzpJpHAfuM1
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA5AVItzr68a
Izuku: “Mom…”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA9aKQN8MK9v
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAiwfIfMBbZj
All Might: “Its this normal?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAm5Z84UGhbp
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA3TZlv0Nt7C
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAwvYVcPolrf
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ7Xbftcld
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAF8AVOmnCoo
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA1xS1qQPbW7
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA6t1ljkcSHC
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAhNsy7owaYr
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."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAB6m6TWUOmv
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA75XApetmJv
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAg7Se8uQQ2v
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…”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA03ZXOixyaa
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAlwtO14O0RI
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!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAceSMaMFOJ6
Izuku: “I would never!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAcVFUnDJQff
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAO8t9KgRaP4
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."
516Please respect copyright.PENANA3oOJDwRZsW
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAippiWzYYMb
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
516Please respect copyright.PENANAMSneeLgPdP
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAHS2IWoIYug
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAOIouW8Vh5N
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAm63R9hgv8q
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANACoxt2I7bxs
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAIweGLSbeJn
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAAmNxq98akS
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAk4OYTYO8Si
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAEYtu7pTv7W
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAvVTc3Nv6Z4
Inko: “Hahaha.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAjvIkmoQ8na
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAxQKCEQk7yK
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAfQyIQmQpF4
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAe5kN55wTqg
She turns to All Might.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAjkJOUHENTf
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA8KzR4sEXCZ
Inko: “All Might.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAEmlsigwpxU
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAFWQBfr87eC
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAmf2Ad9TITs
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAMf64vBU0wD
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAt9PxHp5ji1
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
516Please respect copyright.PENANATVHI7syBPw
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAXz3NfuUGMy
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAvI7IyQ41r2
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAsdcOYW3SXY
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAGnEBTGFQxe
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."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAy9vIKofC06
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAfG8cwI7zz9
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAcrwgyz9vQC
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAZK3NREa56n
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAAGYXQka3yt
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!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAY7fcZQocop
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!"
516Please respect copyright.PENANAIUeTtrATHq
Izuku: "All Might…"
516Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5JirlZ6xS
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
516Please respect copyright.PENANABetTqBwOAr
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?"
516Please respect copyright.PENANAauQ7i4mqvG
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAHof2vNfl8c
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAyVrB1kGVEJ
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAVTL4BabwH2
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAfAoQe4lF4p
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?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA5dhLUe2yzL
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
516Please respect copyright.PENANAoNA72zv3tG
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA87vUP2cIGl
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAFShSi2k8nU
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."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAZgINp0Fxlm
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAjxFFgzazbc
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!"
516Please respect copyright.PENANAUwpfFpnfto
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
516Please respect copyright.PENANAj7yp9CzdlR
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?"
516Please respect copyright.PENANA2vCJOvWdFs
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
516Please respect copyright.PENANA8cNOrDx627
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAPkVr2CMeZA
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."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAFyvX2lZ1pK
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAnLOlnUqna9
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."
516Please respect copyright.PENANATAMmRxuxPp
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAeNuQSgci6U
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?"
516Please respect copyright.PENANANMRMw4q7u8
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA0HoX9lxlte
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!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAwogI3F8Zjt
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAGMtuEeKuEX
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAYC7qsBzAA1
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANALZ2bUfKMcC
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."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAiNEUmZTfBA
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAC2XoD0XKPq
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."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAJj9bzgHA5u
Inko: "Ah!"
516Please respect copyright.PENANAYoFdaKCzT9
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAPTfJM1QCVj
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
516Please respect copyright.PENANARAYL5rM2Ww
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAOMBWDRk0kc
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAFPqMD6NISH
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAy2e1JE3VvU
516Please respect copyright.PENANAE7503tS06q
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
516Please respect copyright.PENANAynV4YXoY6v
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
516Please respect copyright.PENANA7loz9lmHKl
Inko: "Injured!?"
516Please respect copyright.PENANA2TaEPR7NSk
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA2L3ihkgl90
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
516Please respect copyright.PENANApCwkMHY7rx
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAIXAPohaLJg
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAiCwUsn4CfE
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAvrpmSyNPda
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
516Please respect copyright.PENANAhy5c1kdETd
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
516Please respect copyright.PENANAN6rQHw5G36
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAobdwZfpDob
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAzjbl7nYrAP
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAGxqfcS3tfW
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAHRkxfE3cx4
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAABx1Nt7Cml
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAz2CTpxAahB
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAU1mPb9STSw
All Might: "Lift this."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAgCUkF4dkLF
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAeQMFWYqPRw
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANA2jWx4SneuP
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAMJyJFSxaLx
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.!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAVv9DxxdZ4b
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANA6lrJ3Xk4dj
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
516Please respect copyright.PENANArNk8y8FbXa
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAQHzwXuuGTA
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAh970tEEZbw
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAD9VRuuZyry
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAZIuSi1QsyJ
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
516Please respect copyright.PENANAJaIMdqBoeV
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAcbteifVkVW
As for Fubuki…
516Please respect copyright.PENANAAAqbSS5hmQ
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
516Please respect copyright.PENANA6dy0H2FLfD
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…
516Please respect copyright.PENANA6c0IT0QiuB
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
516Please respect copyright.PENANAZSZlsiqmlp
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
516Please respect copyright.PENANAtWDdfPUORF
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANApeez5Cf1YZ
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAujLTwIXNPa
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAEPrySgM3T5
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAM5ld7PCuAj
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?”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAbcHJ2mD0Tg
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAARmbxIadhJ
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAj59ohcC2vI
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
516Please respect copyright.PENANAuSNEVtFbEg
Fubuki: “Okay.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAzcIEsYGMiA
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!”
516Please respect copyright.PENANATe2Qnf4OGl
Fubuki: “Right.”
516Please respect copyright.PENANAvN52JXIIVH
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.
516Please respect copyright.PENANAfa50w3Gx4W
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.
