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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAhvL7M5RTa0
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAZOeC1ovFEl
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAVPAXTLan0w
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAlrXJGvVg6U
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANADBdi8lgwbR
Izuku: “All Might…”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAJtn8Nh2UHb
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3ntXBau3L
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.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAHL6Q0f9p2v
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAIGkJjH1rQB
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAc0fuT9j9fn
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAVQokvdZBVP
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.’
96Please respect copyright.PENANA9O5L2NRciY
Later
96Please respect copyright.PENANAd0j6H5Lr2r
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAlN4PXlozgb
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAbSzUEdsWwZ
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXqDDHiFfZQ
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAZKxTABrBA4
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAlMYVA2tC3a
Inko: “…Huh….?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAqEC0Obs1Bv
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAzIg3KPZf8m
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAT5HYTfifZX
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAH0JFN9PVaX
Inko: “….All Might?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANA6OIeTb79fY
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAEg0hB3f1wu
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAa5NcsVUeq5
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAuQCeINOArf
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAVnba7OiQ0l
Silence and shock.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAu8dE0HNGIr
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAkjGlHU2osl
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAk0bSh1XQqs
Izuku: “Mom…”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAxEDhfGT6pJ
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAkAMg9Lra16
All Might: “Its this normal?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANABswaNm0gBH
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAcKlbqZ1LUE
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAT3IuMAVd8m
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAOFlsHED121
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAWrY03PcNys
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAY7xZf2Z55b
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAVRaZfvF9AJ
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAoHrDkSPdNH
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."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAcGrLu3h1dm
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAqk7IytBEBp
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAoUcTMazLGO
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…”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAT08KD0Lbn8
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA7l7m61bmmV
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!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAZCN4rvwxQh
Izuku: “I would never!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAqFb2KAPAiZ
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAFyG15hUnfX
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."
96Please respect copyright.PENANARn6No477cr
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAa68rzcp1XD
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
96Please respect copyright.PENANAzuPPiGBTLD
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA0WfoafOOcY
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAlFasCu7Emt
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAiOLzoWTlOd
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAPVQw4erUDz
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAR5gDNqRUHH
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAWmap9MsMtr
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAEtAZnh7lfu
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAfDeOTgn5Av
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAaQpFeH3ngb
Inko: “Hahaha.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANANiqOSsgin3
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Lgzk9VTM
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAiKnjoYFk49
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAWcVGip436e
She turns to All Might.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAd5A6Rf6DvB
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAlaOXklvOCH
Inko: “All Might.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAKA9qI0NEYQ
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAlJoPbjBDTX
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANA16w0bXFyg6
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAKeKBItplkJ
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAiSoV7H2CNZ
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAQMTPqhlVSB
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
96Please respect copyright.PENANASlgsn1FIri
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANA1taeB4T8ZS
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAMEAU6xxlqn
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAwMhAh5WgvA
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."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAYANPRugZWh
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANARAHivJ0qUb
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAhYK620G3zk
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAsPa6ONsJn1
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAtBA4VcJ7x2
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!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAwgawTp0AoO
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!"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAzVbNmBNtAi
Izuku: "All Might…"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAfjPwdJ4l3N
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAbDo7FXdIuo
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?"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAB14QVJRhmj
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAzJFoPqoNHc
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANANaZdZBl6JJ
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAxK6bWqv8do
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANA7yWVyxCQM2
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?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAWpAjTNFfWO
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
96Please respect copyright.PENANAdQs2UC2Vo7
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANANLJd6rHUOf
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAbald3FpN2s
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."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAHz883IIfw2
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAw6Ddy5clM2
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!"
96Please respect copyright.PENANArIdwU39AnM
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
96Please respect copyright.PENANA9zaM8n67Zg
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?"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAyLh7ckazq9
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7kREOXXao
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAI7FRQTLfs6
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."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAmMjh5CtaUa
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANALQvodXDD94
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."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAt59xKAmUEo
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAqlLVVW9EXc
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?"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAFOHECaFYPe
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAetBTCdPiwN
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!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAdTV8z3mCiz
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANA2sZ1lbNOaA
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAsdvVRKe2xQ
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAWrtDfFuWDi
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."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAykMr1m3QSO
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
96Please respect copyright.PENANARdxOci2HrH
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."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAWu596eJ8S0
Inko: "Ah!"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAbtBgczcuzr
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAb0nTeG0oLy
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAWVmXhvePo6
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
96Please respect copyright.PENANA4IYwyV8W0l
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANACZAoRcaPxn
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANA6NnXaOw7a1
96Please respect copyright.PENANA2BzUxI0WKh
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
96Please respect copyright.PENANAyl8dvN15p0
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAC9gnYN5KdM
Inko: "Injured!?"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAP1L4Jl1mRK
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAlF0PURXR9r
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
96Please respect copyright.PENANADtICQVDANA
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAISjt9g4wJO
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAcGXi7bqwmN
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAvTyXXHR3ax
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
96Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zeh53tanT
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
96Please respect copyright.PENANAqPjpQ2vALk
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
96Please respect copyright.PENANABPrBxgd4m8
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAsIQm6U6pVB
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAk6JWQkm6cq
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANA6KoGNAXCTW
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAvok0KcK3QO
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
96Please respect copyright.PENANANzqb4Q2jjx
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
96Please respect copyright.PENANABtMgOrSyae
All Might: "Lift this."
96Please respect copyright.PENANA9c3nEzJcL1
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAYMOFmdMs1k
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANABNvwOOUCfw
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAYdhRy3Ygxx
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.!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAdCUvPJffDZ
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANApDwiCqpp8u
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
96Please respect copyright.PENANARCmgFZ3nAZ
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAFnJcHxLbzr
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAMYyiqz5tMP
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAAY55igulqv
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAVU4HUeuvsh
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
96Please respect copyright.PENANAbVEBJKxtHq
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAzYzWeb5739
As for Fubuki…
96Please respect copyright.PENANAJP2XLY7YV7
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
96Please respect copyright.PENANAbJuiydt8jW
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…
96Please respect copyright.PENANA1K4yw3QKKU
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
96Please respect copyright.PENANA56vXc9eC5g
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
96Please respect copyright.PENANAjZLe1Zk6LV
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANApGIVLJVmko
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAQOPMid4dJV
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANATaoZ4JPY5M
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAxpg9HoILtr
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?”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAakDrjZN234
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANA2e1GlbGbo9
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANATdcYQWaimR
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
96Please respect copyright.PENANAfguHb6xxsA
Fubuki: “Okay.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANAcQmBRwqIJd
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!”
96Please respect copyright.PENANABtGmJ7O9f9
Fubuki: “Right.”
96Please respect copyright.PENANASVYbHSoxpQ
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.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAetTvGEnftc
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.
