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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAVI1D3Fnk6m
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANADHL9dTGdJW
Tatsumaki: “What the heck! Who are you?!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAFFtlnbibTd
She says, almost losing her grip on him.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAiqsE2J21f1
All Might: “I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAmDZtiTaIlZ
Izuku: “All Might…”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAnxIzbmBh6s
Tatsumaki: “Is this you quirk?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANATEm1nOmlbB
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.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANASioT79nZoR
Tatsumaki: “One more…Izuku you knew?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANADD8PD9LNOh
Izuku nods and explains the parts of the story All Might concealed before.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA8l4KgEtYcr
Tatsumaki: “Fine, hold your breath. I want to hear everything.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAMdzQX3PGmw
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.’
400Please respect copyright.PENANAamPooTjGIP
Later
400Please respect copyright.PENANAj5VE1ndKHU
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAn7OETmSYkU
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAP53IKBKRpQ
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAFLfnvyRqby
Inko: “Tatsumaki, who is that behind you?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANA7qFNxxzqDn
Tatsumaki: “All Might.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAzLVOR631pL
Inko: “…Huh….?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAIk5mayslm9
Tatsumaki: “No time mom, good news first.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANARsgPPwFT8i
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAGp83JakTEb
It was a like he was dreaming again, but this one he prayed was real.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAFtjQt20W5v
Inko: “….All Might?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAXp2jvxXftJ
Tatsumaki: “Yes, but that’s not what’s important. Mom, I need you sit down. Don’t want you fainting on us.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAHpoSSa3NlH
Inko would have been worried if it wasn’t for Tatsumaki uncharacteristic smile.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAUPSVV62axB
Inko: “What happened Tatsumaki?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAln2dF5Vqj8
Tatsumaki: “Mom…Izuku has a quirk.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Y7ZmucJS
Silence and shock.
400Please respect copyright.PENANABW6AnDX27S
But that quickly turned into tears of joy and happiness. Faster than some speedsters, Inko hugged her son.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA9oPJzal27m
Inko: “Izzzzuuuukuuu!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAK40aXrHXs2
Izuku: “Mom…”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAat1E76zg3i
She balled her eyes out while her son held her and while crying himself.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAQy0DzwLzjO
All Might: “Its this normal?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAmi0L2ji4Hp
Tatsumaki: “Yep, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANA7kit9cFzuE
Inko: “I-I need to call Fubuki! She needs to know.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAsWQa2sTV5H
Inko reluctantly let her son go and rushed to the house phone.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAVePD6A1gNK
Izuku: “This…still feels like a dream. I… I was diagnosed! I have an extra joint on my toe! I'm Quirkless!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAhcSnvPgi5f
Tatsumaki: “Not anymore you’re not.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAQus5szvQVJ
All Might: “Indeed, besides, I have extra joint on my toe as well.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAaooYpocKcb
That got them to turn to him in surprise.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAzLEtRt3YBx
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."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAu0i1CkTvyQ
Tatsumaki: “I think I’ll have some words for that doctor after this.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAJEYhMxtFqs
All Might sent a small prayer for that poor man.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAptwPmpxrhP
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…”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAZYBzXIya4f
Before Izuku could start crying again, All Might put his hand on his shoulder.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAQO0e9QS2ba
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!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAptsYQjGeRq
Izuku: “I would never!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAvcI0kUzgj6
Toshinori let out a chuckle.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA1f4oMMpjCl
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."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAz6usrsZGKh
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAIPE4PhFASx
Izuku & All Might: ‘Fast…’
400Please respect copyright.PENANAg5EhbmFKdz
She rushed to Izuku and grabbed his shoulder while her own were shaking.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAa29qvzNWNc
Fubuki: “Is it true Izuku? Do you…really have a quirk now?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAahezkKR0zM
Izuku held back his tears and looked at his sister with a smile.
400Please respect copyright.PENANADNrWLqSYaX
Izuku: “Yes, I can…be a hero. Just like you and Tastu.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAKtT6cSO2r1
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAcuJ0vvHz43
After a moment, Fubuki let go of Izuku and asked the most question.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA3sGm7z8PYF
Fubuki: “What’s your quirk Izu?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAuJPBDbeVrw
Everyone but All Might stiffened at that question.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA94PBwi0RLA
Tatsumaki: “I guess we forgot to ask.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAuXopZtrQgs
Inko: “Hahaha.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANA1VELWK8kGx
Fubuki: “You all were to caught up in your emotions.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAvcQe9QhfxE
Tatsumaki: “You can’t blame us.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAH2kpPPD4ep
Fubuki: “I’m not, I get it. But there’s something I need to know.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANALkSrqfsUB2
She turns to All Might.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAoe1BqYZdTP
Fubuki: “Who are you?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANASLw7J0hZH8
Inko: “All Might.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAzZaPltOVJI
Fubuki: “….Huh?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAJGTDlc2bbC
All Might: “Haha, now that the whole family is here I can explain my situation.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANA51an9uU6b8
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAqEHNjEiPVt
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANATn9ro8ScOH
No words can describe how proud they were of him. Then All Might filled them in on his condition.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAuUBBMfdMnU
Fubuki: “Whoa…”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAY9lWGeersY
Tatsumaki: “Hmph, I expect nothing less from the number 1 hero.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAJdFLCboHFX
Izuku: “Tatsu…”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAuYz4lNQxTV
Tatsumaki: “But now, I’m wondering why you’re telling us all of this. Why?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAPDPgnYeq4x
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."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAON8ewPAhlp
Everyone: “….Huh?!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAv94lHsNSM7
Yeah, that got Inko to finally faint.
400Please respect copyright.PENANABEX4QTXHAH
Fubuki: “Mom?!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAAohO8yaVcz
Tatsumaki: “Explain, what do you mean?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAo3KtBsbKeq
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!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAhYsYxtkd0a
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!"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAIJrfgHhnIo
Izuku: "All Might…"
400Please respect copyright.PENANA33NblAbVCC
Izuku was all teary eyed and nearly sobbing in joy.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA82U3UtA9Oh
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?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAjUvowZCq4x
Before Tatsumaki could catch up with the conversation and while Fubuki was fanning Inko unconscious body, Izuku shot up from his seat.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA5H9Rl0mJly
Izuku: "Of course! Given a mission by All Might himself… how could I say anything but yes?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANA0PRcHdAnxi
Tatsumaki: “Hold up!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAzsFWMCgI64
Izuku: “Tatsu?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAa4RfwF6QTc
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?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAbRKuka9ZWa
Izuku: “Of yeah, what do you mean All Might?
400Please respect copyright.PENANAECbEuU4Bsu
All Might: “Well, it’s related to my quirk. What about to say must not leave this family. Understood?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAyvHi01JP1p
Despite his diminished appearance, they understood the seriousness of the situation. So they nodded and focused on the words he would speak next.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAXUNGc6hamW
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."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAqgaXQRtuiK
He held his hand out and a rainbow of colors seemed to envelop his palm. The two gasped at the sight.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAGcT092Coje
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!"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAwmoP99MQgr
Izuku simply could not breathe. All Might… Quirkless? That… that was impossible,
400Please respect copyright.PENANAwaKkZFFiRr
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?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAmOlyA2cj4p
Izuku: "I…is… is that even… fair?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAIL8uBuP4XP
Toshinori started in surprise, having expected his fanboy to immediately agree.
400Please respect copyright.PENANACDGuOBsad9
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."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAujQho7ruu3
Tatsumaki: “Ha, that’s my brother!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAx3GMLafUcP
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."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAFWXFw2xAlQ
Izuku had a slightly terrified look on his face while Tatsumaki narrowed her eyes All Might for even suggesting such a thing.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAlwNR1odPrC
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?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAmhfLYP49SU
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA0xEmcsig3Y
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!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAlwPHQjBmNn
Tatsumaki: “Oh yeah, we got sidetracked again.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANA9K7bHhRAM3
Everyone chuckled and took a moment to really let the situation sink in.
400Please respect copyright.PENANACFb6S5EhWP
Fubuki: “So, what is Izu’s quirk?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAOcSXpHtCNV
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."
400Please respect copyright.PENANA4AZXKabPax
He raised his hand, one finger pointing up.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA1iXYGaomUm
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."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAungmffYzuZ
Inko: "Ah!"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAHyxlf5TRhb
Tatsumaki: “Yes! You have a quirk just like us! You even have my color.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANABhHHeayXYK
Toshinori let another grin out, and continued with a second finger raised.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAGcTeKcDZmH
All Might: "Two, you were able to project a force blast… similar to one of my punches. Weaker…much weaker…but similar."
400Please respect copyright.PENANA5qvwTryMGx
Fubuki: “Not to surprising, both us can something similar.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAzWMcJqRNza
Tatsumaki: “Don’t worry Izu, I’m sure your blasts will be able to change the weather too one day.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANASJhsnnuI00
400Please respect copyright.PENANAmbplyXidqj
Izuku was too blown away by the fact All Might do that. Toshinori meanwhile grinned and raised the last finger
400Please respect copyright.PENANAE5Vb5fwK97
All Might: "And three…when you were injured, your wound was enveloped in a green flame and completely healed!"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAVKMtKMi04o
Inko: "Injured!?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAAvrWOl1L4j
Inko shrieked, and started needling her son over protectively.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAE414RqAk0a
Inko: "Where were you hurt Izuku? Does it hurt? How many fingers am I holding up?"
400Please respect copyright.PENANApG7Dll4msR
Tatsumaki and Fubuki sighed over their worry prone mother.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAH5qqmQoSB1
Tatsumaki: “His healing must be incredible, I didn’t see any wounds when I checked.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANALBYImpWI0k
Fubuki: “It’s also so different from what any of us can do. You don’t think…”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAaeIPfv1iAl
Before Tatsumaki could start shaking the house from thinking about their very dead father, a whistle went off,
400Please respect copyright.PENANAxSTlBzAe9m
Inko: “Ahh, the tea!"
400Please respect copyright.PENANAsfAHtrj4n7
Inko hurried back into the kitchen and came back with a kettle and some cups. She poured them all some.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ4b3X0Au6
Inko: "I hope you enjoy, All Might."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAy42QHpCp5c
All Might: “Please, while I’m like this, call me Toshinori.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAR0P8xcUk1z
Inko: “Oh, alright. Then please call me Inko.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAolDV7KeRYd
Everyone took a sip before continuing.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAf6aD3S5amp
All Might: "This looks like one of my favorites. Excellent taste, Inko. Now…I have an idea I would like to test."
400Please respect copyright.PENANANjZ1WwDkMl
He looked around for something small, and placed a simple salt shaker on the table in front of Izuku.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAQFT3JGfXI8
All Might: "Lift this."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAMLYHurtWxs
Izuku: "W-with my quirk? But this is too sudden? How do I even do that? I never had a quirk before."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAHu2Fb3FLgf
Tatsumaki: “It’s a salt shaker Izu, we could lift something that small when were children. Even mom can do that.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANANqiG3JBbtw
Fubuki: “You can do it Izuku. Don’t brute force it, focus and remember the sensation you felt when you first did it.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAacTJ4pc5A4
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.!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANA41emVPohb6
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA1jwySPTLc1
They all looked up at the hole in the ceiling. One deadpanned, one shaking, one sweating bullets, one smiling and one…shocked.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAfycugvIXzy
Tatsumaki: “Awesome Izu!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAow74Ve3ZBR
Inko: "That's going to be… expensive."
400Please respect copyright.PENANArdMmWTDLWD
Izuku started sweating actual bullets while All Might looked down, staring at the boy with his face expressionless.
400Please respect copyright.PENANAb0MFtEaTru
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA2RU43BCbYX
All Might: "My apologies Inko-san. I'll pay for that."
400Please respect copyright.PENANAtkqb3opLFB
He just barely held back a chuckle as Izuku started stammering out apologies and repeatedly bowing to him.
400Please respect copyright.PENANArSt9miCEIx
As for Fubuki…
400Please respect copyright.PENANAfcSjiafkm9
Fubuki: ‘That much power…and he just got his quirk. Even now I couldn’t…’
400Please respect copyright.PENANAjzdWqdKl8S
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…
400Please respect copyright.PENANAQffgJriUqy
Fubuki: ‘And now Izuku will…surpass me…leave me behind…’
400Please respect copyright.PENANASeMHcvGTCw
Before she can go any further into the dark, a finger snap brought her out of it. For now…
400Please respect copyright.PENANAHb5akeS2fx
Tatsumaki: “Were you listening?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAZesQYNakJj
Fubuki: “Um, what? Sorry, I was still in shock.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAVTUS97ihrt
Tatsumaki: “Ha, I get it. Our brother is going to be great.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANADEVK5Xycqe
Fubuki: “He sure is…”
400Please respect copyright.PENANANYqIaAzsP7
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?”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAmwJmsePcU8
Fubuki: “Yes. Who’s first.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANA9s1guY5hlg
Tatsumaki: “All Might, me and then you.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAYlDn27HY2y
Fubuki: ‘Last…why am I not surprised.’
400Please respect copyright.PENANA9nJOEmftl8
Fubuki: “Okay.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAZPcGpf8YBH
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!”
400Please respect copyright.PENANALJUqzobkDi
Fubuki: “Right.”
400Please respect copyright.PENANAWm0RFKa7Qb
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.
400Please respect copyright.PENANA9XkNfYwy5N
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.
