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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA7AdaJ2Wf9d
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAqHxl87NoPJ
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4xSW9QAT4u
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAY8ZGCs8wbk
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAxSZjAjOXWX
Izuku: “All Might…”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAK3pvljzook
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAaBUTV3zZHN
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.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAAaLk2Ip4Xa
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAITezGvLHXn
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAu0CLlPZMl4
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAshYNo5iWt2
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.’
237Please respect copyright.PENANA6mbTs8gHxK
Later
237Please respect copyright.PENANAmsiRs3KAqD
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAGUmp6d2CzX
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAFXVuizN837
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA0JtDfblm60
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAKIrFGwX7PF
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA8jCc8Lm1EO
Inko: “…Huh….?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1Z70FxkNX
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANANKnuPCYaHa
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAxlr6BtvhQG
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA3MxJepcTmQ
Inko: “….All Might?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAL8Cf0BM2Yw
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANASMfH5HBlLF
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAIbZSdm9YyF
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAjm706EOhK5
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANApGF8NdMx3j
Silence and shock.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAuQYUrNPc3V
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAmkBN3nrm71
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAHDzn4iacFU
Izuku: “Mom…”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZfxQJ5Ydh
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAgr5fxwQ8MY
All Might: “Its this normal?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAeiewXRCZwD
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA7PBpLMqAG2
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA2RnkEloBos
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAJmp1Dwa56Z
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAFsBT3qq8ET
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANATwpbPf4VY6
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAGhLIxRddPZ
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAlF97fj3TVE
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."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAlVWI27gSCp
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAEmunOlV1TA
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAH01xHEcH5H
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…”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAqgD9BqaCsI
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAgMxGqjeRre
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!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA269Zs4tnvO
Izuku: “I would never!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAeWc6LyDxgu
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAN3NGvEMUcF
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."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAXwGIIuwpAj
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA7FGrgIsAxs
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
237Please respect copyright.PENANA94DiqKFoaF
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAExdDMMMrOB
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAEzVb03Ml8x
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAG2yEzx6rG1
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAmdoz5UzLuA
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAWaMSwyVA3g
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAbzTQaUpnMB
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAn7rpoYJCJK
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAP7m73g0fpS
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA3gqMFvoANQ
Inko: “Hahaha.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANADC9XTy0HU4
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAQAGdbqsyMh
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAsytom3PXCF
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAyGmpmvlDus
She turns to All Might.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA6Jin9Xjv0D
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAH6SOazkBTa
Inko: “All Might.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAQABHdf5ctg
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA6SjK2GvKQ1
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4LHYqEhulq
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAUgDkhn5hLl
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAfOXIR9m9jy
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAWQDLUr69qc
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAW93d4BiQTX
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAPC6w1MVGsj
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA5mWxBy8gWr
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAVLTu18A8Tw
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."
237Please respect copyright.PENANApfNqP8zh9v
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA1ITXRxoDAH
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
237Please respect copyright.PENANANdBHI90jVv
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAT7EiGLNtf6
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAfsuKjTXXB2
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!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANABGBjgtTikV
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!"
237Please respect copyright.PENANAen8QUKFRFG
Izuku: "All Might…"
237Please respect copyright.PENANAxwvMEgvDNT
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA5eqsQh3Oz4
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?"
237Please respect copyright.PENANAtrMSmqaaU6
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
237Please respect copyright.PENANASgqQiCl2w8
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wo9V5oiZ2
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAfDQapcih9l
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAueJ7WsVUXK
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?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAkmfLdfdhc8
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4UdQNQMMuB
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA1cgzYgq1Xe
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAsv98wd32xx
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."
237Please respect copyright.PENANA38OjIyJOg4
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAj337bgLn7j
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!"
237Please respect copyright.PENANAd64ygb2ksc
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
237Please respect copyright.PENANA3ECEMzPNIc
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?"
237Please respect copyright.PENANAAYs4cQJEBv
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
237Please respect copyright.PENANAj4b2boTAHO
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAM4bXy4OO2c
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."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAL4xAZ372El
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAatbnDksRy3
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."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAJIUsS2g3Ah
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAy0VnP9qKIf
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?"
237Please respect copyright.PENANAe2jLqK8sUn
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAKeu5qddVkp
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!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAHlOcHEeUUk
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAz9CBGgKQtT
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAKlfdI4HwUq
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAepoMbZTZ5G
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."
237Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZoFUcBaIF
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAyWdfXthij2
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."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAcX5CU5S7Le
Inko: "Ah!"
237Please respect copyright.PENANA9bpcfnxlAw
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAGnPBKTYNLQ
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAVc5thslJPE
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAeRDl0Im0Xe
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA8YF4ZN3yC6
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAgw52cIPlF5
237Please respect copyright.PENANAPJqS4wKpeY
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
237Please respect copyright.PENANA8DkgqreqCm
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
237Please respect copyright.PENANAf6ZHArIFVU
Inko: "Injured!?"
237Please respect copyright.PENANApweUSBLWwk
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA5HrqRducan
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
237Please respect copyright.PENANApRCs05Dtmx
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4fkbkz7ohj
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAOdLwSK0P26
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAV18z4S6B7E
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
237Please respect copyright.PENANAlxOKga0rlL
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
237Please respect copyright.PENANAcBuTHwU85i
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAr1Tgtb8jUk
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
237Please respect copyright.PENANA6mxFBe5EGF
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANARlU12gDwPL
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ium76mhP
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAAn0lvDRSnZ
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
237Please respect copyright.PENANA3tJ4prnmyQ
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA63j8gzRVYn
All Might: "Lift this."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAx8pUBryNRy
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAFnYGFjINZ2
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAbmzjy3pFbU
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAewfzvmcNt2
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.!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAj51qR5eRQX
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAsJhJ4fm8St
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
237Please respect copyright.PENANA9jlkTQnway
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAbbuXpKeCWo
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAvxf6sFd8ur
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAwv9QSncFeI
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAAkyjkfVBa3
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
237Please respect copyright.PENANAa1c3dVleZD
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
237Please respect copyright.PENANABKonrSBSIS
As for Fubuki…
237Please respect copyright.PENANASDpuyOTWCX
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
237Please respect copyright.PENANA2IAhtspgTY
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…
237Please respect copyright.PENANAAch11KO6za
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
237Please respect copyright.PENANAvVeGHVch0r
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
237Please respect copyright.PENANACNif53LdY6
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAqbUPtJEYJs
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAN14ahJCBdx
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAV0YHKpfA2y
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAsdhFR44p96
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?”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA3dQCBNJYyA
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANARbs8PJiBmM
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAHi67rE0BOj
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
237Please respect copyright.PENANAfS0xrNqphY
Fubuki: “Okay.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANA3DqaJBkeaj
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!”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAjxs5V68cyu
Fubuki: “Right.”
237Please respect copyright.PENANAN9acQLSC51
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.
237Please respect copyright.PENANAJf8xByaCXF
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.
