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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA9aNlBCgL4X
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAHegY01oc5f
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAU9LyrRBoZR
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAHH9z1gcxl8
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAcTZUls3hRR
Izuku: “All Might…”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAy6yGDHhxx9
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANABxMFOiwUWy
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.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAvXyZcmtjlF
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAEXkWyJKJsh
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA3VqIcrJfqI
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAm4G0s4xNkV
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.’
759Please respect copyright.PENANAc6ETxLXGFC
Later
759Please respect copyright.PENANAVWDNFco0Yj
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAYJJDIZ4o7p
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANApzxVPtmzP3
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAC2sJfvV06e
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAbGO2jcKNR6
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAw0ANdNMUre
Inko: “…Huh….?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA4BX2rGfp6T
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAcDoUrlB4kB
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAmwIIFebA9r
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA8vtqywW1HO
Inko: “….All Might?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAfrtIQTHqZc
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAD3qCc6hPAd
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA1cA9NnDqip
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAGm0gEIRVeP
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA2ubjPZKZc5
Silence and shock.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAhttYV5bUDq
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAuoJIwPyDge
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA5B0MnvcTO2
Izuku: “Mom…”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAkoIh99LMBy
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAeG0CYUCtEu
All Might: “Its this normal?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA0s3ll6qzgY
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAtg73KxqZlo
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANALj1AuaZKFc
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAoMvodynJag
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAnxKj7Xkvtx
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAVWzX34kmJi
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANADMI0TUUgUm
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAbwhCzuXdKy
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."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAwWNS3P01Bp
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAwJN2AVwipD
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAh9SUCI9ioY
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…”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAPOn1mHfTQG
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
759Please respect copyright.PENANATJ6QkJ56zY
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!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAQoGWm2sv9g
Izuku: “I would never!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAdDLdS2cVLT
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA6cArSYXhg9
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."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAfdL7YDqg29
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA96vq4SkVZj
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
759Please respect copyright.PENANAs0MR0WrsOO
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAGH0HAjpDjA
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAxzXYIhIiIG
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAWJUCwUONrK
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAICfpPx6Ffn
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA06cbsSSUQd
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAprihqjjwU5
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAtxGQqiupqM
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAOKhd9Y32nN
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA4pmInQpEpc
Inko: “Hahaha.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAN1jsJ1771c
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAfsqDYxJn5F
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAmXwglxpXOJ
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAxuoEKIAp8d
She turns to All Might.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAcLmTriHLzi
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAK8MlAJbOIK
Inko: “All Might.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAwn0CbxSzay
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAyj8oOdVAUH
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA4mllG3Z4Qp
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAqxWyk7YUl8
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANATSffD4D9eI
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA8ICg7uWsmV
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAXmMklYQqJG
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAu988QtS0fN
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAS51VPRbbmm
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANASkflWgKn3K
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."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAmyuKqXkaei
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAIRQjq6sHRj
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAbTNWF3MGgl
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAUKdMQXcyae
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAivEDeTUmVV
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!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Z2QCV0M2
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!"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAuF9TZEAdax
Izuku: "All Might…"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAWwmbdR4K1d
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA4DwyWlidi5
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?"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAD9kwbY5VXt
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAHhMYgSOLwD
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA9utZOLg3UA
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA1llRbt1ebq
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAojkElKo8hO
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?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA2l4RYkObpg
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
759Please respect copyright.PENANANLXT3bicPr
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANADYpXUo0KXG
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAHG8u7cBAwp
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."
759Please respect copyright.PENANA13LubdDPvj
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAZSylMciT37
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!"
759Please respect copyright.PENANASR2W5lSXGj
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
759Please respect copyright.PENANAUCHxqs6d2v
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?"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAQEaEEHucgF
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAUrv4WOnRh6
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA8B0jZ02kxX
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."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAIJYUFneP6P
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAPxhnSg72Cx
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."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAcz5GcQ6iTH
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAFPnkyDu18G
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?"
759Please respect copyright.PENANA64cxlD1Z8s
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA7URvm2bJ4N
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!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAbjiWxijOUz
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAorDUiJIiM6
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA9zPHNN63fs
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANA5wTLHRfvvA
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."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAhgMaY0UqEV
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAum9fLBO2Ng
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."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAs1TaMTSrGZ
Inko: "Ah!"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAnoLO8J9LUQ
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAI3fjldBaxo
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAZ01BEsPe0Y
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
759Please respect copyright.PENANA1aO04OC3Tj
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAZCrVQM6rYJ
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAIA79hQ3u2k
759Please respect copyright.PENANAoXVFnZ7Gd7
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
759Please respect copyright.PENANAocyNmpoNxb
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAVlzrRRIAIu
Inko: "Injured!?"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAy3mPP9kCDW
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
759Please respect copyright.PENANALgsSbN3UiX
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAjRRYFOzIx1
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
759Please respect copyright.PENANALrnHoNcFH3
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAiBha7SZird
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAG0NWnuZPPk
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
759Please respect copyright.PENANAB5VkgNZPww
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
759Please respect copyright.PENANAUjDcOtTO5F
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAuC7VasdZFX
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
759Please respect copyright.PENANA2cc7BWs6Lg
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAsGJudmOwGF
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAqf0XZ7W5Kh
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAdIpfVFhXrN
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
759Please respect copyright.PENANA9LZgzLBbea
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA2jv7MMDhQf
All Might: "Lift this."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAZFQbAGwENm
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
759Please respect copyright.PENANASuvcbMflR0
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANASn4oPEvHuw
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAcyGyQnnaEu
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.!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAvNczg6zyF7
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA3nEVFBKfpR
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAFLsZKiTC0i
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAg6o1XUsvCz
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAmg24aZz4T5
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAdskaExgxdk
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANA1hFdWGjkrl
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
759Please respect copyright.PENANAK1BXatTR6R
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAsD5tHEBlDw
As for Fubuki…
759Please respect copyright.PENANA2fa5OVB4Ok
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
759Please respect copyright.PENANAc0XdnB4yDY
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…
759Please respect copyright.PENANAOfpTxDXGiA
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
759Please respect copyright.PENANA9DyO5QXZiL
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
759Please respect copyright.PENANAoEoKK2wz9e
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANALgs79zrA1f
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAcdKT1dWedB
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAl2U0rSygCL
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAZtAqyR86Hs
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?”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8Sw55ePk2
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANApDdE28ipUA
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAGOgaDBj1k3
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
759Please respect copyright.PENANAx1UBEJL8lA
Fubuki: “Okay.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAQ36bxkiXU8
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!”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAXIVTiVZUs9
Fubuki: “Right.”
759Please respect copyright.PENANAabOmWFhkOO
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.
759Please respect copyright.PENANAaEmvjFwUt2
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.
