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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANABA0q5IalsJ
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAvhp8q02Mm5
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAZQfYSMjkgD
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAsNEy3AKReg
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANABgDaDW1YqC
Izuku: “All Might…”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAJJqZhCfW7o
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAzBZtWohWYi
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.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANActqwu7R9FB
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAdpw2QTW1Jr
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAjDHc3I6s8O
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANABjB0n9wQSb
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.’
217Please respect copyright.PENANAPPzbupDdym
Later
217Please respect copyright.PENANA7PC9mazwlU
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANABQ4ZVIHEBv
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANA7J2ez8Oaxa
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAkZdt0BO0ih
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAFS1s0Iuqx0
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAa357rxi6qz
Inko: “…Huh….?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAOF5u3fVFgO
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAHe9bTG5i8o
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAXJCKbntkEW
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
217Please respect copyright.PENANA3C7kop1Rh0
Inko: “….All Might?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAaT24u5FD6Z
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANADQRhOdolrE
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
217Please respect copyright.PENANA75LyRMoD1A
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAPa5rH2ocnI
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAR0as92JUHG
Silence and shock.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAIEc53JrSLO
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAMH95jVOmsG
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANA2r5d9ofAnP
Izuku: “Mom…”
217Please respect copyright.PENANABFIYmFW9sh
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAa8bBEvFkmn
All Might: “Its this normal?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAegbGOVn2hL
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANASmJbeYcS6G
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANApIRnZWuEuW
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAdq4pZhPXPW
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAz8NaTB1LIP
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAoHOYjMInbd
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAguBWMKrz0i
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAShfhoC8dNx
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."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAynfezYNyag
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAlvkFekILGB
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAAI4MMR0Lqm
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…”
217Please respect copyright.PENANA3L25rlT3DT
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAPZh11f0fNr
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!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAqvj6pHrSAR
Izuku: “I would never!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAgKknEE5Pp5
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAdi1eCUDFDd
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."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAf3m2VmSKoL
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAU6iRoUfz7G
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
217Please respect copyright.PENANAah1qavcSNf
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAiaR743vTTQ
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANALwMLGKgJMN
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAsp6eQ4pCfW
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAPoG7wDjU9o
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAYG38yPh1VS
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAr7ZkdvVvhQ
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANARf7CEWDNQQ
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAPv29panEp7
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANA4pNl1qfZRM
Inko: “Hahaha.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAqjweA4J21S
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAWXvpMG8nfK
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANACaPIGc4dOL
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAkr0ApdhABe
She turns to All Might.
217Please respect copyright.PENANARdWy6YiSop
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAqrwS22EWke
Inko: “All Might.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAl76UC1TgCi
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANARg9pJCNA3o
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAzRtQdMB8pW
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANACguTJRAkVK
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAMpTuUHZJ6l
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAEwdMFKfGYC
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAYIfsANFj2U
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANA4zYmV6Jyrc
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAar01q73HWe
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2KEbHviqq
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."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAxD4bEXLnTl
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAA0ZdUIZdey
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAgr6oXExbfP
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAKRbgdyFWQN
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAg3aU5hgvuZ
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!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANApj80VJHukl
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!"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAU58b3YM10G
Izuku: "All Might…"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAxTjwypKYn9
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAzORz0ax2of
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?"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAciHwtIuvOh
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
217Please respect copyright.PENANA9y5XydUNOS
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAEBpZAPCnhX
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAKm7bYtnZDn
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAtnSkYXRt3k
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?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANANstphuYXUd
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
217Please respect copyright.PENANAYDWhtvdWJd
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAz7teQvQSce
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAnBvTPOodJd
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."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAo0HqTo4vBe
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAV77o0MqDnU
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!"
217Please respect copyright.PENANABPqQHJrnD8
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
217Please respect copyright.PENANA1hWE9fAQOE
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?"
217Please respect copyright.PENANA1DB6Vf8yTT
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAiYCSooyw9L
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAhrXf0aB4dc
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."
217Please respect copyright.PENANA3QCvmTTYMz
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAIxoKnyGzyh
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."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAKh4KoJINqD
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAq6GNBiNUa7
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?"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAXr1qRdT8UZ
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAk62c5rKGW1
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!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAB5EQfXvGiN
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAySAqsjp8ND
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
217Please respect copyright.PENANARZLGK9jCUT
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAOPOQGKJReJ
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."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAsE1hdcNZVS
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
217Please respect copyright.PENANA4BtnqgGexI
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."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ7vN2Mj43
Inko: "Ah!"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAzSOKntmYrd
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAsolAVlHxsP
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAIaFlJDN7dY
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAVO1VzquZ7x
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAHCwnCJghRU
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANArxYFnHSOpl
217Please respect copyright.PENANATGyaZ0R9kM
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
217Please respect copyright.PENANA7T1FzsnfG6
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
217Please respect copyright.PENANADovAwIjH4J
Inko: "Injured!?"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAjSqK7OjpqB
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAogf8aHR9a9
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAdcZeK4p53L
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAeidsWZWWIe
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAhtKUScEv3a
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
217Please respect copyright.PENANABAOdXIj4yj
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
217Please respect copyright.PENANAPaev6hph05
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
217Please respect copyright.PENANA8KJsxdkmq8
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAn7li7jw3Sn
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAJwaqohP1eB
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANACMXSsTFUrA
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAF3pmXnw0HA
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAhG2UiuXCLL
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAt5BOzwqJTM
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAi4eyFeApOW
All Might: "Lift this."
217Please respect copyright.PENANA6iJUwrw36u
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
217Please respect copyright.PENANANxwygIArYC
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAKiSZ649HoK
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAvzU0I9IMSd
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.!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2kFqABJTm
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAf8KHWyyAVc
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAjlLMchtrTq
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANASE23ELIkfX
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAfVDN54JnOB
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAIS9cXFBGwo
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANA0igSHFNYyh
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAFGSBcKH2La
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAWodccgDILA
As for Fubuki…
217Please respect copyright.PENANAQPpQVrCrCD
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
217Please respect copyright.PENANA8mFgkk6OT5
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…
217Please respect copyright.PENANANkBS4Aunys
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
217Please respect copyright.PENANA9cRyQ4Vgkf
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
217Please respect copyright.PENANAyTAKDhatgY
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAdZgKHhSyRg
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAJXuKlqibm6
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAv8bHgySzNC
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
217Please respect copyright.PENANATBhTk8y95i
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?”
217Please respect copyright.PENANA0EHnyi550n
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4l6puKRNa
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAZGsSqDjnmp
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
217Please respect copyright.PENANAnwjNNGzInp
Fubuki: “Okay.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANACrlzmPMIVm
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!”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAiKacbRUE43
Fubuki: “Right.”
217Please respect copyright.PENANAQcTptua46X
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANArVKsYTFjrx
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.
