Izuku, Shoto, and Aoyama were walking back to the dorm building, Aoyama latched to Izuku's side. The courting gift Izuku just gave him was a large hoodie that smelled heavily like him and Aoyama's courting gift to him was the big breakfast he made him that morning. Satou may have helped him a little, but Aoyama did all the work himself and Izuku loved it. As they discussed their plans for the day they passed by Aizawa who seemed troubled by something.
"Hey you guys go on without me I'll catch up," Izuku told them.
"Alright," Shoto placed a hand on Aoyama's head and reluctantly left with him.
Izuku jogged to catch up with Aizawa, "Sensei wait up!" Aizawa turned to him "Have there been any updates? What's going on with Katsuki?"
"I don't know, they're finally showing us all the evidence they have of him so I'm going there now," Aizawa sighed.
"Seriously? Do you think I could-"
"Izuku," Aizawa placed a hand on his shoulder with a sad smile. "I know you're concerned about what's happening but I think you should be with your Omega right now. There was an accident last night so he may need you..."
Izuku immediately grew worried and took a step back before turning and running back to Heights Alliance. He was hit with several distressed and worried scents as everyone was crowded in the common room.
He noticed Aoyama crying as Shoto hugged him with a small frown, they were standing separately from the rest of the class. Izuku quickly walked over and as Aoyama smelled Izuku's scent he practically flung himself into his arms as he cried.
"Yu, what's wrong? What's going on?" Izuku looked up at Shoto.
"It's Iida, he was in the training room last night trying to push himself past his limits but he pushed too far. His body couldn't keep up with the speed he was trying to reach and he ruptured his Achilles Tendon.
When he fell, because he was going so fast, he tumbled into one of the exercise machines, and it fell on him crushing his legs. They said he will probably never walk again let alone become a hero..." Shoto explained.
"What the hell? How does something like that even happen?" Izuku said in disbelief.
First Iida challenges Stain to get revenge on ruining his brother's hero career, only to push himself too far due to that very reason and destroy his own hero career by getting the same type of injury. Either the universe was playing a cruel joke on him or this was his karma for trying to take another person's life.
Izuku held Aoyama closely as he made his way over to Iida, "Tenya..."
"I'm fine really," He smiled a little. "This is what I deserve for trying to commit such a villainous action. I wasn't worthy of being a hero nor was I worthy of my brother's name,"
"That's not true!" Aoyama told him.
"No one deserves this," Uraraka cried.
"You are worthy of being a hero and your brother's name, yes you made a mistake but we all make mistakes," Izuku frowned.
"Even if you can't be a hero anymore you will always be our class President," Momo wiped her eyes.
"No one can replace you," Mina gave him a small smile.
They all hugged the Alpha as he cried and thanked them for everything they'd done and been to him. After a few moments, some waved and some cried as Mei rolled Iida out of the dorm building, it was decided that he'd be leaving the school for now.

As everyone sat in class it was oddly quiet considering the somber mood that overtook the class now that they lost two classmates in such a way. Everyone thought that things would at least lighten a little now that AFO was behind bars but that wasn't true.
Things just continued to worsen as everything unraveled before them faster than they could stop it. Arguing could be heard outside the classroom and everyone looked at each other before getting up and standing near the wall to hear it better.
"I am not teaching soldiers," Aizawa said sharply, "I am teaching kids, good kids; and when they are ready it will be up to them to decide what they do with the powers they were given. Not you,"
"That is not your decision to make Eraserhead, as a member of the commission-"
"No, that's not your decision to make, that is up to them and their guardians to ultimately decide," Aizawa interrupted.
"Actually it isn't, they aren't minors anymore, we don't need their guardian's permission to do anything,"
"That may be true but as long as they go to this school and are in my class they are my children and my responsibility and I won't let you or anyone else treat them like weapons. They are people and you will treat them as such or so help me god I'll make you regret waking up today,"
With that Aizawa entered the classroom and paused, seeing everyone standing near the door now looking back at him. Aizawa sighed and motioned for them to take their seats which they did.
"You all heard that right?" He got straight to the point.
They nodded, "What was that about?"
"Bakugo,"
"Did something happen?" Eijiro asked immediately and Sero reached over to pat his back.
"It...was confirmed that Bakugo was in fact the traitor," Aizawa frowned.
Izuku gave Aoyama a look when he turned to him and he quickly calmed down after exhaling shakily, he trusted Izuku so he wouldn't panic. Several people shot up from their seats but before they could erupt, Aizawa quickly continued speaking.
"HOWEVER it was not of his own volition, we have him on video meeting up with the league and giving them information. But he had absolutely no memory of that and upon further inspection, we discovered that he was being controlled. In the video it seemed as if he was in a trance like state and was being controlled by something or someone.
Even so we can't ignore the fact that he is still a threat to us and until we are one hundred percent sure that he is no longer under their control he can't return. So don't worry he is fine and will be returning soon, what you heard was me arguing with a member of the board.
She had suggested that we take advantage of the situation and try to use him as a double spy of sorts, but I won't allow him to be put into unnecessary harm," Aizawa explained.
"Oh thank God, he's alright," Jirou held her heart.
"I knew he wasn't a traitor," Denki wiped his eyes.
Eijiro crouched down and buried his head in his hands as relief took over him, several tears falling down his face. Sero, Mina, and Denki quickly hugged the Alpha as they too cried tears of joy.
Izuku smiled a bit and Aoyama ran over and hugged him tightly, "He's gonna be ok," he smiled.
Izuku smiled back and kissed his forehead, "I told you everything would be ok,"
