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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANA4d8wt5bOwe
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAuNFQTqALGV
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAix1NO2ylac
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAKTCiPbBlSg
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0pyhxiJRa
Izuku: “All Might…”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAeafRdFs46a
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANARBmHaqk7yD
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.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA9OkcjuJTSr
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAkRkm4ROMJ1
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
199Please respect copyright.PENANApHe8c8sWp1
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAyOJXCcl4sY
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.’
199Please respect copyright.PENANACMwxvvB6yE
Later
199Please respect copyright.PENANAtGkazHHFR1
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAfHclRTlsvD
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAfOE3Jeb2gt
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAWi0GMSpaPM
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA52Mmvsy7tm
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAaUvsYvHr5O
Inko: “…Huh….?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAPzzxT9J7dG
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAYob7iXcg9R
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAoSlAM1j78G
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAeN2FmZ9GRG
Inko: “….All Might?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA2r83cMBAgN
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANALJo78hKOKD
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAKzCuu2hYaS
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAURhyeYGbtb
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rktn6QQ8P
Silence and shock.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAMPgzcoaFt5
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAqiuDq8utmI
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAAMZQbZxxGz
Izuku: “Mom…”
199Please respect copyright.PENANATfx0CHzFWs
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAoYGmGMfTes
All Might: “Its this normal?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANASuummOc8ab
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAeFCeIYrmmb
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAvH4Bj3PFj8
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAvvVW9S1aZf
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAUFjDghLowC
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA4iLArCFBZk
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA743C8bz5cN
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAiHhf5TnwBR
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."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAYwCJjQSjjq
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAi6U3fPaQqT
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAkNJbvBYQyA
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…”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAXyQaYd5DDQ
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAjrl8EfAsgq
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!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAQNqxyoRZAX
Izuku: “I would never!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAWGWsjR27qx
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
199Please respect copyright.PENANA5sssg9tEIm
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."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAV35wA2sQPV
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAKHVLcE0uO3
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
199Please respect copyright.PENANAoaiuz1inAA
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
199Please respect copyright.PENANA3t3DT0hx3L
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAkzrMvU2vsn
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAYK5J399S6d
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAYVMLsRkDIM
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAqmq9kdVQ8R
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAn3YF4dWnJx
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAwXfj78byV9
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAOueserqz9M
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAiEkMTCE5tT
Inko: “Hahaha.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAVGo5aYY5NE
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA2p3hSgC7Sy
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAvq6t4j1brG
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAMyuafzRqoC
She turns to All Might.
199Please respect copyright.PENANA9C42CthO5v
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAoOZCXbmJwW
Inko: “All Might.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAJmNyfdziaB
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANASTgiEckpeA
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA8u8kP2QYkj
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANA0bxt2363jv
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAnUStBrbG5X
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAnhLwQI5IQP
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA3gdlE6lAmZ
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAfcNweygR3E
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
199Please respect copyright.PENANARjlZ9R0uTI
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANATOnnwLeQyp
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."
199Please respect copyright.PENANACkI8YvfRGZ
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAkul2qQST02
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
199Please respect copyright.PENANA6cif9pFVXw
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAokojl9mBl1
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANATwHQrADk62
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!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA5ItgEsiPlg
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!"
199Please respect copyright.PENANA0Prfhoa5RG
Izuku: "All Might…"
199Please respect copyright.PENANAVuyGPAP0Hs
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAuxuYT6iodg
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?"
199Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0GYWiq8VX
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAm9sOwAxE6y
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANANGJJZ4vePg
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAw5C86tuwiS
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA22sJI81e1w
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?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA6V7iGJyafz
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
199Please respect copyright.PENANArEUHtfN8zt
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAl13dDlTndl
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAM4LAk1o2Qh
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."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAyF7qvxfJU4
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAfinpFBYX93
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!"
199Please respect copyright.PENANAJYbvg9EVXA
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
199Please respect copyright.PENANAwqxU05ZD7l
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?"
199Please respect copyright.PENANALK90PO0hYl
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
199Please respect copyright.PENANAkfx91pUOI6
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAeQWjQRI0Ot
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."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAc6o3El4SAY
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAlpXhFodLK0
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."
199Please respect copyright.PENANA1EQBlxXNDf
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAX0lO6zAJbO
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?"
199Please respect copyright.PENANAdsKQhfn3A2
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAxdKEQK8mX5
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!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAOOITf6PuBe
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANANP9XfoMtsS
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
199Please respect copyright.PENANA9k57BlK2gt
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAzMMZo06498
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."
199Please respect copyright.PENANA0giSP8HJV8
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
199Please respect copyright.PENANA9ERiFveuxb
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."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAgXh3IIzDFh
Inko: "Ah!"
199Please respect copyright.PENANABR1IDvsSIO
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Aq4mWAsP
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
199Please respect copyright.PENANApOZU4ppb9m
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAKBR9mnbGw5
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAYylCGjiAuw
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAjMRQnZlA5H
199Please respect copyright.PENANAcEt01bJDoO
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
199Please respect copyright.PENANAcxMDokNnnG
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
199Please respect copyright.PENANA18Ab9BKI96
Inko: "Injured!?"
199Please respect copyright.PENANAYa7aBAyZiU
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAQcYObRyEHR
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
199Please respect copyright.PENANA9oqIUfe2y6
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
199Please respect copyright.PENANA40iMr0nFjr
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAZqRjUkmFwh
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAadjIUfzZwK
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
199Please respect copyright.PENANAreMx9qcZpE
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
199Please respect copyright.PENANA84tOZJIlqP
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
199Please respect copyright.PENANALXd8geLqRO
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAxg9hxEdzNE
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAT2SHVYgA7R
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAHdVdPoWeJS
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
199Please respect copyright.PENANALTo83sduY9
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAKaOYjbWzSi
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAM561sjWHDw
All Might: "Lift this."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAcxsWKX98wl
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAJvi6D0AcOp
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA1gzgXtCuZQ
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAmNA5jFBkhh
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.!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAv02Q9J6CkH
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAxXRj3sDVf8
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAGIHnOnBK4b
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANA5xb9SYIDA5
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAvBfh43d1DM
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAwLUqdz0wiH
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAwedW5TOvwu
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
199Please respect copyright.PENANAnidBLGR0zP
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAJtcdJeox8J
As for Fubuki…
199Please respect copyright.PENANAKuKrvGQ6t6
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
199Please respect copyright.PENANAWEPB2F1Qzs
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…
199Please respect copyright.PENANAWpEgJebkCw
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
199Please respect copyright.PENANAF33umjJAU8
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
199Please respect copyright.PENANALdcpfptONO
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAgoaZbyjXJA
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAS9pVviJokR
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAQpG8t7oqZk
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAuOsHaplKai
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?”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAg6njgWu35Q
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAqSplsSx1CA
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAuPKJ6G4Uil
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
199Please respect copyright.PENANAz22IEOtlky
Fubuki: “Okay.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAaRyze0wnqO
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!”
199Please respect copyright.PENANADUkkOtapc3
Fubuki: “Right.”
199Please respect copyright.PENANAhhtPed06Ac
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.
199Please respect copyright.PENANAeZZEcb3cQR
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.
