As the other packs look up in disinterest, Jio's Omega sets a hand on his shoulder. And murmurs in his ear, his eyes widen slightly. The shadow pack is snarling, Yamada and Aizawa stand at each other's side as Dabi steps in front of Hawks protectively. The newbies are standing behind Toga and Shiggy. Jio growls and looks at his mate, the black-haired woman is in a silky black dress.

"Useless heroes aren't worth it," he spits, and his pack seems confused but follows suit. Jio and his mate leave the headquarters, confused pack shuffling after them. Aizawa growls and takes his seat again, wary. Jio would never back down from a fight, whatever she told him changed his mind. His pack takes their seats and eats quietly, Dabi holds Hawks' hand, and Mic leaned on Aizawa.

"Well, that was anti-climactic," Deku says, bored. He doesn't enjoy these things, but this one was important. All for one nods, knowingly as Inko sighs. She looks over the packs she helps lead and eats thoughtfully. Aizawa doesn't touch anymore of his food and instead watches the room, his pack wishes he would eat but knows that he wouldn't. No use fighting him about it, Aizawa refuses to let his pack get hurt. Much to his own detriment at times.

All for One seems disappointed that a fight didn't break out, his wife; however, seemed relieved. She was hoping for everything to go smoothly, and quietly. Of course, things do not often go the way she wants them, but she always changes that. The head alpha sighs and raises his glass in the air and clears his throat.

"Now, it has been many moons since all the packs have gathered. Even more since we got new blood!" All for one begins, his voice echoing with power, "There are many things we gather to celebrate, you may be wondering what the occasion is?" He raises his eyebrow and looks at the murmuring crowd. He nods slightly at his mate and child, and they stand and raise their glasses as well.

"On this full moon, we want to announce the stepping up of your new leader," Inko says, her soft voice, silencing the whispers. A few minor packs puff up ever so slightly, a new leader means that the ranks may be shuffled.

"Tonight, we toast to the beginning of a new era," All for one says, as the moon aligns with the skylight and illuminates the room. "Izuku Midoriya will begin his reign over this pack!"

The crowd lifts their glasses and Izuku looks over the crowd and smirks. "Thank you, let's continue the party!" he laughs and takes a sip from his glass. Everyone cheers and drinks and they settle back into their seats.

As the last course is served, the newbies are allowed to mill about. Most simply stick to their host pack, but one is edging towards the Shadow pack. This young omega is nervous and looking around, afraid. Aizawa bristles and lets out a warning growl, but as a familiar smell crosses his nose he stops shocked.

"What is it?" Hizashi asks immediately, following his mates gaze to the youngling.

"Its Shoto," he responds and nods to the boy. Who scurried over, relieaved.

"Sir! It's relaxing to see a familiar face," the monotoned teen says with a bow.

"What are you doing here? It is way past curfew!" Aizawa teases his student. Denki and Shinso stifle giggles beneath their masks. They get a glare.

All for one watch with interest, as Dabi watches his younger brother through Hawk's wings. Wanting to comfort the boy he failed to protect. Hawks sets a hand on his mate's knee, and smiles. Dabi is not quite ready to face the young boy, the scar on his face fills him with guilt.

"A better question is who he is here for?" Mic says, leaning onto his mate and eyeing the teen.

"I was told not to say," He stiffened, and then bowed and scurried away. Aizawa growls slightly and runs a hand through his hair. Dabi sighs and hits his head upon the table, startling the rest of the pack.

"Don't worry my love," Hawks said, stroking Dabi's hair, "There will be other chances." Dabi sits up and nods. The pack speaks quietly amongst themselves throughout the night. No fights or other issues arise during the rest of the night. 

Once the rest of the packs leave, the new bloods clean up and then are sent home. Aizawa waits up till Shinso and Denki are returned safely. Only after he ensures that his class is asleep, and everyone is safe he goes to bed with his mate.
