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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbZNkTQdfDG
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAf48aJxLOvd
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANArDxNhdW07g
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKbxASBDGTK
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA0kmMeD1f0z
Izuku: “All Might…”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAW78833OAmt
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAAh2Alswgqc
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.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAsINtmyMtXM
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQi9BTuJe7j
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAgWODBiHV2h
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAFtvZzBHxLZ
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.’
102Please respect copyright.PENANAlGiUMpiSy4
Later
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lg55MZNkq
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAN6NotjEjf9
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAAfjXpOwe7a
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAxynGdxxwUE
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAeIfzRj0CRE
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAK1M7PeFRLf
Inko: “…Huh….?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANANXUIGts3hV
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAb2g6TkcPix
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANANuiQJuBLaM
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAXpv7UuIFEu
Inko: “….All Might?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAxZN3qnGilT
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1vof35YRf
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
102Please respect copyright.PENANACgypvE0cLe
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2Dh2tvJ5I7
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAtv0GM33IIc
Silence and shock.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAfxv2s2Wb3a
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAW6HzSUqebX
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANANhe7SiyuA9
Izuku: “Mom…”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAD57FchSEOv
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAiN7MiC7iZK
All Might: “Its this normal?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAsgyUlhEjlK
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA9KBIAbAbVe
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANATf3uQTmjfq
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA676dVIoLPr
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4peAVklrw4
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAiqUzsgE7EP
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQXwKsZ60NV
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3GfDM9JdoD
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."
102Please respect copyright.PENANANHgzW13nuG
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAtGhAGPttOp
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAWUzBo2avnQ
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…”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAG5akdk3qFp
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAj6FTs54Sy1
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!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAHlyggHWRXT
Izuku: “I would never!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAhw9RPG9Pzj
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAN4lXc0YbL0
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."
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbFMMxEqKhS
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANALuOCSwBeDu
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
102Please respect copyright.PENANAzk4jVnthVd
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAejOV4Pvi2i
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2ffv9vD9Mh
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqZdm9xnzfs
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAWqzsQTFUKZ
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAUihyYcOGLX
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqKRhNh8d55
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAxNEytB3x4n
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAPl0RCyg58V
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAnEQwfxRzDT
Inko: “Hahaha.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAFlm5Y5N8Cy
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4PdR1FtUwH
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAkHV67Uz8Vl
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANABlNEXYeGYF
She turns to All Might.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAP1zCDO9I7x
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANALIihJ9Qg1V
Inko: “All Might.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAcuCAmWWRMv
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA7tFYgtMW7R
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAv4fmIFcPBd
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqmm1noi2f2
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAd3Qw9oXFCW
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAR1yuyFNSTy
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAooAEZEBMcg
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAhAR1UBgj3N
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqT0zGI669K
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAtA4s0F4Y3u
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."
102Please respect copyright.PENANALQ53XxomaL
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAu2ULMLUtUG
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAjTf12F6HE2
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvUkprCsG5e
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAIOBXUUUphy
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!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJQH1eL1JqQ
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!"
102Please respect copyright.PENANAVIo7bBObQP
Izuku: "All Might…"
102Please respect copyright.PENANAe7o3FayBJZ
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAe6gOZ1Sljy
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?"
102Please respect copyright.PENANAC7Z66BrRJZ
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3EEV08Bh7D
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAZguTZx2l6P
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAVtgtYTwNf4
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAhKPItQELBy
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?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAlqbpiwyfoq
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
102Please respect copyright.PENANAYunNl4U76b
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAN9EV8OO06j
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAH1rY6sYsme
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."
102Please respect copyright.PENANAXM38btR0Rj
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwxM3GHeHnC
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!"
102Please respect copyright.PENANAyGU9E2Cnuu
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
102Please respect copyright.PENANAhBDRx4aj8s
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?"
102Please respect copyright.PENANAMlIpK5g75p
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8GnrSiNlH0
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAXgfufcoLDN
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."
102Please respect copyright.PENANA0zHVUjcnaV
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8xeRPKT9bg
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."
102Please respect copyright.PENANAXls46yk0wT
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAjVDcthCSaZ
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?"
102Please respect copyright.PENANA6SAlXaH4pk
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA68oHDvUiMK
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!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAsn2pXg2qqp
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA5wrtQo2vta
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAP6ftxOwPsy
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAUcXRdBHEXe
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."
102Please respect copyright.PENANAWRv9lgInQc
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAEJy7y60c2Y
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."
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKWfabE3abB
Inko: "Ah!"
102Please respect copyright.PENANAMwcyw5sRKP
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvf9vZxtNlc
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3fVBeCZvdi
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2uGGLmVfkn
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwh19lMDYU8
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8kWdDaEfLO
102Please respect copyright.PENANAmOgVdPXLng
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
102Please respect copyright.PENANAX2quMV0I4g
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
102Please respect copyright.PENANAxVrdhomJCV
Inko: "Injured!?"
102Please respect copyright.PENANAP5k6KGIbh2
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAxZli8Mn9w5
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqbraBrxIX1
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
102Please respect copyright.PENANALe6VLKCbwW
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAGsl7Rk6XVi
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAu7CDwPLCO5
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4PjNxAVMZ1
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
102Please respect copyright.PENANA01aVdHWG4S
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
102Please respect copyright.PENANATW98Q07za5
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
102Please respect copyright.PENANACPKCa8GVJV
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAEP9FJmNu67
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAEyUCsFHy5h
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAK5NmMCloUv
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
102Please respect copyright.PENANAXpaFRslyJX
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAxXI7hr5AhQ
All Might: "Lift this."
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJbuL2jkCct
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
102Please respect copyright.PENANAgBG9ePgjDf
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKTe1DMCjBL
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA0pBe7YMUTU
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.!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA0cWX0Ypc0S
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAiMyl8E9JuE
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAudEFXhLcyO
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAF7k2Zrf6PS
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8WHNQKJYit
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAr1om4VJOtP
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwrQTWP9FAf
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
102Please respect copyright.PENANAkA6xPdxCD2
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAUvaURCcgpg
As for Fubuki…
102Please respect copyright.PENANAZFgN6f0k0s
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
102Please respect copyright.PENANAO0qFZ8pBuu
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…
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKG32ShFpiA
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2ljDJh7zEM
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
102Please respect copyright.PENANAh7fNObN3pD
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAaIowO3Lfae
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAijunbiLTGu
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAtKm1Ih5lTQ
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
102Please respect copyright.PENANACH5D7YowQi
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?”
102Please respect copyright.PENANADmFnY1qi9L
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANA11teRhHvbw
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAgcuKYFTXb0
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
102Please respect copyright.PENANAChrJQ1pt4C
Fubuki: “Okay.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJT9xi5cmpM
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!”
102Please respect copyright.PENANASl2I9wnIP5
Fubuki: “Right.”
102Please respect copyright.PENANAE5fQEzuJmE
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.
102Please respect copyright.PENANAeOX1tFC9a7
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.
