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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANATcbYxVoX1X
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAPUnZ6oH0yQ
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzIPOMbFfpN
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAWs8W9HWt1U
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAHtGob8vaoo
Izuku: “All Might…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAaNXKIzpwep
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA5FglCFxP1i
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.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAnqz7kXkDb1
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJCTt7y5Vve
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAHIeCNafVrK
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANApLvwJRhj2G
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.’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQzDRH1dAhI
Later
48Please respect copyright.PENANAqwpzPcQ46e
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANARYp1cr2UiD
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAW7qevoPM8M
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzwf8jgv9FJ
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAyTsuWzHmRt
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAfpVYEyWs4H
Inko: “…Huh….?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAz9Ch110CSk
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwnqsgyXd0h
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFuaGJK0afK
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0gSiJp93vy
Inko: “….All Might?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA6zZ7K097KA
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmIynnMr5Sj
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAOpT9MWY9us
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAoFISNFmDM8
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA3CvnstHVmX
Silence and shock.
48Please respect copyright.PENANATzPUaVtndn
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAsysqnmRL0w
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAoFY3oSOm91
Izuku: “Mom…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAWh0B21n2gK
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
48Please respect copyright.PENANARCuo6Pd6F6
All Might: “Its this normal?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9QWfS8zmJL
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAfmYFYeddys
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdwh7xOn8rP
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAZsfkqBYsYY
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdH4A0MK3ba
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANApBnm8Pcj9E
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAtGpMMJIE9i
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9rCC6mkLAD
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."
48Please respect copyright.PENANA6k6IgYxniE
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAXaM3ZVriNh
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFeJpugfb1h
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…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAjx4b3MgtOQ
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAxsdOT16pGU
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!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA8HzXCTkpUk
Izuku: “I would never!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFj5BnYzJxx
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA61ZSz4W7lI
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."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAVcjZID94Xp
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0Aqfg4R3o6
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAfad4k8pLh9
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAQW65gyAEMq
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAAcfB9HBEUK
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAsC46oa96lU
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1KWJXUsQwT
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAkoBVtDbe5e
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAdXINIKso8x
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAPNWipFvSlr
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAAzYwyWehma
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAnDzuWQLRDD
Inko: “Hahaha.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANASHZ2Cd7xqj
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANApgHj4PDMRo
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAkD17SSuVxk
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ9W7iQJJY
She turns to All Might.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAAY0ZuWjnwY
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA30tYjTAef9
Inko: “All Might.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA9NubfQzq5Q
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAWQdYF7FGPp
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAlNQfFXgJDj
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANASa3CiZNgU6
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAS1qnuYddeL
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUn8IuaiwP1
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmtCgtrvqJf
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEeGLyAXUes
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5RKXp8mwZ
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAhYeOcWpZqJ
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."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAbhPKLzpDzy
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANALUL2k2DSSi
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA82zYV4bfnv
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANANXsUT8lNt5
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwEv73UcNBT
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!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAnPjeyDX6Ge
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!"
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcrWQWnhGfo
Izuku: "All Might…"
48Please respect copyright.PENANARbKhCUC6Ar
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAIPztZ1jVRk
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?"
48Please respect copyright.PENANAmAPH0LtCYA
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAEgHLOphRUH
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAN6rkQFaw2c
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAqd8b23su7q
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAWGnbhWy9nb
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?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANApQYxHjQWzo
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0UxDhRckib
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANATCkAaK1KXd
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAX6mCVMhFTw
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."
48Please respect copyright.PENANADMbCD2R7iV
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0SPZ9CSSys
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!"
48Please respect copyright.PENANAyqrho8ljKy
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1vh22OSYWz
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?"
48Please respect copyright.PENANAYUtf13cDGN
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
48Please respect copyright.PENANAFEu45XiOne
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAt5yFYfFe8h
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."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAsBpB1FUlfK
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANANfCKddeQjS
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."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAvv50Sf6kb9
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.48Please respect copyright.PENANAaYHFnHWiZI
48Please respect copyright.PENANAUGRL7n6aUY
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?"
48Please respect copyright.PENANAiaxoyxN9Cv
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAalY7KWCvQI
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!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAVtQZsDAbdK
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAKhsNyW1KUE
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAu7jQLSxYLR
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAivMK2KiBE9
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."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAoYF3iqOOGi
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAPBjwbIjam2
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."
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0L0MFpRXct
Inko: "Ah!"
48Please respect copyright.PENANAniS9PorcAH
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANArz0SCm3Hby
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAH0tsdYDFcI
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAbHJPEexll2
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANANjPTx9nm1y
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcMHbj3bMAB
48Please respect copyright.PENANAv7IBZPtzjM
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
48Please respect copyright.PENANAibbXM8AfGv
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a blue flame and completely healed!"
48Please respect copyright.PENANAoVvqbqHE4t
Inko: "Injured!?"
48Please respect copyright.PENANAbZZNJpNxYR
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7bXpCNQXxS
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0LfBfddeKf
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJXxLJrC8yI
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAewljp5h3Hd
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA4jcOMyMN1T
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
48Please respect copyright.PENANAcb2mNaoynM
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
48Please respect copyright.PENANA8l0wNjKduW
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJSk1XJDPM2
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAGRS6JXS4YS
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAswDdfrr6rz
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4idxdhgSG
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAOpU48YH1gB
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzDH6QPGbE3
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAMeF87pULRB
All Might: "Lift this."
48Please respect copyright.PENANA1Hq7BRRloS
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAoqzTOaZDIm
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAV63JzmAsog
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAwNCWrqdwcp
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.!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAljXLCFvscy
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAPk3W3EsPNJ
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAh7WPiavgSp
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAeLviCDcXIl
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
48Please respect copyright.PENANAU7ElEhpQ7p
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAh7QaduIFCA
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA7af9K8Q90V
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
48Please respect copyright.PENANA44RKSMSFA2
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
48Please respect copyright.PENANAJtTpfEi8Ug
As for Fubuki…
48Please respect copyright.PENANAxaHSwb0ymN
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAjCvcIwxGsJ
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…
48Please respect copyright.PENANAqgMwVFe9l5
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAYd2M4ISd9y
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
48Please respect copyright.PENANAzyMRIQTVEf
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAAlV55tTT1b
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANA8kWwXt8nxY
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAg4WnFmorXU
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
48Please respect copyright.PENANApEL9gWxDhX
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?”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAs5ss2MuVUw
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAuWbUvskoCb
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANACMRawqPK5f
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
48Please respect copyright.PENANAt7SjzBDA2d
Fubuki: “Okay.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAfTShN6ko23
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!”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAU4c6ROVywo
Fubuki: “Right.”
48Please respect copyright.PENANAxCxjSzmvdq
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.
48Please respect copyright.PENANA0xtVzEnpSI
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.48Please respect copyright.PENANAWwhc3sqDHl
