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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAs08DHjEkYE
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAm9lrdYsBH9
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAfeoTMl1Ch4
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAyf68WeAATu
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAJAiJobJQxa
Izuku: “All Might…”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvLyAIZ27se
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAofRXZz2akD
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.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAXZR8sCvBwI
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA97S3q3Cr2M
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAPLJbEVf69H
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAexRT2Meo8H
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.’
371Please respect copyright.PENANAEPDmNN14Wg
Later
371Please respect copyright.PENANAWr35F4x7p8
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAx1q5NgHrxg
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAqYhwTDdG85
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAdIV2YTit0X
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANApyaE1TbcKZ
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAmIeKA0pPG0
Inko: “…Huh….?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAwweEyPAw0z
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA2lbf1I1diz
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAiqT5PawB3o
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAB1FCjhLsSl
Inko: “….All Might?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fy3SjOb4F
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA2oZGpPVHqG
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
371Please respect copyright.PENANApImIypvUck
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAV106QfPyyC
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAlcGeZ6rs2G
Silence and shock.
371Please respect copyright.PENANALU1edJJz4a
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1yCLSpSiN
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAc62xN1Yygz
Izuku: “Mom…”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAUbJ1fz1rdX
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAIKMbZgrFLR
All Might: “Its this normal?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA7MzzqBnscU
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA09dEXIqii3
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAtPiRWNRFnn
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAsr7tOE04C4
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA8cWxbsrw2O
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAe37BOD6Wzk
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAq35AWEAGV6
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
371Please respect copyright.PENANA7vaJetqqNV
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."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvE6SrImTAQ
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAJh83mO2zvi
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0RTv8ySuz
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…”
371Please respect copyright.PENANASKWKNL4fcV
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAy3CpgC70j8
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!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAeXJqY0snP0
Izuku: “I would never!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANABnsvk02rdt
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAxlXxXiVTGO
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."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAF1YGz14z7D
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAlgpxZ3taxY
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
371Please respect copyright.PENANAHlY2vmIkd0
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAIPZKNuaRxQ
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvBe4rA680N
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
371Please respect copyright.PENANA4QMNPb9mpj
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAv0qZPELXVq
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAHvOJwmximt
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAdnl2beWdbV
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAWcZ2DY6s3s
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAP1uNflgslh
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA8yq2SclFme
Inko: “Hahaha.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAacNdzv1nbj
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANANHSgTDrpix
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAmzX84B6Ped
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAhX0jfSrLRl
She turns to All Might.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAsOtTcykcQS
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAlq4n5TBKmi
Inko: “All Might.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAIvCV7dngtn
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2zOPoiLRD
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA880wGr6uFt
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAzvmmlGmwOX
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANApwmbdAsRue
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAiyuWUNexpB
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAFjBTYW1Bbk
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANADl52emOeMX
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAhNBEcRXBPV
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAgrn3vODWEc
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."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAyGTHfrqARo
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAgS7QsrGnxs
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
371Please respect copyright.PENANABRFcatenMD
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ9Qe1cDHc
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAzOSmV6IFq5
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!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANARROrSDsSQ1
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!"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAPFpZ7kF8rz
Izuku: "All Might…"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAMDotpjRsXB
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
371Please respect copyright.PENANA6AWfSG0xhm
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?"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAb6c8815FZY
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAGqr1kYOuyf
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA5IQuDG1KyY
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAkgW84ZN4gG
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAc9ep5kUAG1
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?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAg8v5MhVhNl
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
371Please respect copyright.PENANAwY7BfS6l5S
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAfY4idote05
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
371Please respect copyright.PENANADxIipaF4HO
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."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAQJPoT9XZ1i
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAQTScR5tcTA
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!"
371Please respect copyright.PENANArE0WeMICtE
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
371Please respect copyright.PENANAHrSGLuEXwv
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?"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAuXYk0EPSLQ
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAE1xMuynnkw
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAKa2QFwuir9
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."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAgunaznMxXY
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA9vwNE1bpnY
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."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAaof0FYgVdl
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Mvb8DhH4
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?"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAOht8VdgooZ
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAADrfOW3LmZ
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!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAzgdXBJae2k
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAtjZQ0cLFFe
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAoxs362OXx3
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAfpC9N0wjN2
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."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAFJk8jRroM4
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAqfsiNvPaKi
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."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAfEsrm53D8L
Inko: "Ah!"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAuX75yVCS00
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAarkWRDNocD
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
371Please respect copyright.PENANASo0I1WitFF
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAl0i3GOBKaj
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANABH9eFjdJ7G
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAohmJHSbLMo
371Please respect copyright.PENANAUg8zmD2rLP
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
371Please respect copyright.PENANAGkdyT0JNfc
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAAkBT37bXjN
Inko: "Injured!?"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAVo4eD8coBT
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
371Please respect copyright.PENANA9LDzMYY6JK
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
371Please respect copyright.PENANACsTeCYhDCm
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAZUE3qDxH7G
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAfOKF6Km4mE
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA2EXZGyX2Xf
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
371Please respect copyright.PENANAM5z2DLq6P3
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
371Please respect copyright.PENANAkmAZxoMWqI
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAkidUtp7tNI
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAu1Ap5FONfv
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAdJCRyGC3Qn
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAe0BT33gRPT
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAa7eKxpqp0D
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAd0aeMxD0UB
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAVX2W8VyXds
All Might: "Lift this."
371Please respect copyright.PENANA4o4HfhnNYr
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
371Please respect copyright.PENANAwLpDVbk0A1
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAqH2IHfThtA
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA7RgHnGdX38
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.!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAngZ7bJl9HV
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANA5g4ox8Vmas
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
371Please respect copyright.PENANANMcPOGXsGM
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA9FqMKwlrsy
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
371Please respect copyright.PENANALAoD5RJuoc
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAoiCXzgZnhG
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAlSPd5RHZBl
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
371Please respect copyright.PENANACQa5x0W9Pz
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
371Please respect copyright.PENANAFt3R6XBfhG
As for Fubuki…
371Please respect copyright.PENANABP35RZV9V2
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
371Please respect copyright.PENANA84Yb8bFaCG
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…
371Please respect copyright.PENANAx60zxXaS4H
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
371Please respect copyright.PENANAN4w5IsTd3K
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
371Please respect copyright.PENANAI3IPa3oKll
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAQpod4noACp
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAKv2JSasfUa
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA4z5uWTn7ZU
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA8NGewI075R
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?”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAiUJMMlpGKw
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAx5CSF5Jvkg
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvegfd0pQVY
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
371Please respect copyright.PENANAfGrebrFamZ
Fubuki: “Okay.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANADwNS7JMMxn
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!”
371Please respect copyright.PENANA6jit4sDH6N
Fubuki: “Right.”
371Please respect copyright.PENANAvWhwkVBOsc
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.
371Please respect copyright.PENANA8qQmOS3IhP
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.
