Chapter 51 - The information is wonderful, isn't it?
...
<Japan Musutafu Nighteye Agency 10:12>
Inside a large conference room several famous heroes could be seen gathered around a long table. The room was quite simple but with a touch of elegance that made it seem important.
In this room Nighteye could be seen sitting at the end of the table with his eyes closed as he waited for everyone to calm down next to him was a nervous Bubble Girl.
Lena was next to Mirio standing next to the door as a sort of back guard as she watched all the Heroes with stars in her eyes.
'There are so many!' Thought Lena as she identified most of them. 'So this is the scope of the Nighteye Agency...'
"So ladies and gentlemen" Nighteye began as he adjusted his glasses and looked at all the people gathered in the room. "As you know we are gathered to discuss and plan an operation against the infamous Hashimoto Clan-"
"Can you get to the point?" Replied Rock Lock with a bored look on his face. "Not to be rude for I think everyone here already knows the gist."
Rock Lock was a swarthy man in a yellow and green suit reminiscent of a jester's, said suit was decorated with drawings of key locks. His face was hidden by a yellow mask that showed his eyes and he wore long white boots.
Nighteye just stared at him for a moment before ignoring him completely. "As I was going to say before a rock interrupted me-"
Lena and Mirio struggled to contain their laughter as they looked at the offended Rock Lock.
"-we have recently obtained clear images linking the Hashimoto Clan directly to Japan's Underworld. In the last 24 hours our spies have finally been able to obtain several images and videos of various crimes" Nighteye waved his hand as the screen on his back lit up displaying the Nighteye Agency logo "Furthermore, thanks to the information gathered I have been able to investigate without outside interruptions several private companies and warehouses where a connection to the Hashimoto... or more specifically one of their Branches of them has been made clear."
On the screen could be seen a compilation of several images, although they were in questionable quality and the angle was odd, it was still clearly visible the Hashimoto committing several serious crimes.
The Hashimoto's were easily recognizable by a very small tattoo right on the back of their neck almost reaching their back.
"Hmph!" A snort sounded throughout the room and everyone's gaze stopped on a beautiful woman with green hair which was on fire, she was dressed in an elegant white suit and a black mask that showed her reddish eyes. "And how can we know that this spy of yours isn't simply selling us false information?, not to be a spoilsport but I think it's too convenient given the current situation and previous information..."
The hot woman was none other than Burnin, one of Endevor's Agency Assistants and a renowned heroine for her great combat exploits alongside her team, the Flaming Sidekickers. While she was not particularly talented for a Pro-Hero, she had a vast amount of experience under her belt, not to mention the fact that she is a born leader by nature.
It seemed odd to Nighteye that one of the Big Agencies would get involved in a case involving Japan's Underworld, even more so being that one of Endevor's Personal Assistants was involved in person, but as long as it didn't get in the way of the operation her help was welcome.
"This information is completely reliable and safe, I have full confidence in this person" Nighteye stated with a piercing look which Burnin returned with an amused and not at all sadistic smile. "I have worked with him for years now and we have built a good business relationship between us, he calls himself Giran...any other questions?"
"I have one!" A small but muscular brunette woman with rabbit ears raised her hand enthusiastically. "As far as I know there are many hiding places and Baits placed by the Hashimoto to lure Heroes, so how do we know where we should attack?"
The small woman was none other than Mirko. Her hero costume consists of a sleeveless white leotard with dark purple trim around her shoulders and waist, a wide yellow crescent moon design over her broad chest. She wears thigh-high purple boots to complement her leotard. Perhaps the most noticeable thing about her were her cute bunny ears that clashed a bit with the tomboyish aura she emitted.
She is a Heroine who has been on the rise in recent years, being a UA student she was expected to succeed easily but her fame level has only grown and grown. Recently it was rumored that she might make it into Japan's Big Ten!
Lena had noticed Mirko's figure as soon as she walked in, and her first thoughts were: 'Holy shit! She's hot!' and 'She's more worked out than me!'
"I wanted to ask that too" Spoke Mt.Lady with a distant but strangely sexy look. "Also I'd like to know who the Leader of the Hashimoto is, in the information you sent you didn't mention him anywhere."
"..." Nighteye fell into a contemplative silence before speaking slowly, as if considering what words to say specifically. "The Leader of the Hashimoto is a man named Hashimoto Yoriki, he is a mysterious man which there is almost no record of his existence. We don't know what he looks like, what his Quirk is, what his background is, whether he has a family or not... we know nothing about him. Even with my information network, I've barely been able to collect his name."
Everyone in the room frowned at that.
"However" Nighteye continued as he folded his arms thoughtfully. "Recently the mercenary known as Reaper has appeared at one of the main Hashimoto residences and was attended to by those in charge of overseeing the other two Hashimoto Branches, so there is a high possibility that he is at this residence"
"I guess this is backed up by your Quirk isn't it?"
Nighteye nodded slowly. "Now regarding how we will enter the residence..."

[Rockkie Girl - 14:32] {Oi Lena, how's your internship going, I can barely breathe in here from all the training}
[thaTracer - 14:51] {hi! srry it took me so long to reply I was doing something. Weeeeell, it's pretty cool, Nighteye is pretty smart and a planner you know? Although sometimes he's a bit of a dick, I mean, who the fuck has a roulette wheel with a sexy girl on it?!}
[Rockkie Girl - 14:53] {What}
[Rockkie Girl - 14:53] {I don't think you should talk about your boss like that Lena}
[thaTracer - 14:54] {+Image+}
[Rockkie Girl - 14:54] {Holy Crap!}
[thaTracer - 14:54] {I told you so hahaha!}
[Rockkie Girl - 14:55] {...he didn't put you there right?}
[thaTracer - 14:55] {nop, and if he tries I'll break his balls with a leg}
[Rockkie Girl - 14:55] {Lmao}
[Rockkie Girl - 14:55] {By the way, about what you said yesterday... sure, I'd like to go out with you somewhere. But this time I decide where to go :p}
[thaTracer - 14:56] {deal! But after the internship...}
[thaTracer - 14:57] {I gotta go! talk to you later honey!}

<Hashimoto Safe House>
"Are you sure about this?" Growled Reaper as he clenched the phone tightly in his hand. "Because I'm not sure about this. Sombra is still not recovered from her wounds and I don't think I can alone against several Agencies at once, even with the support of this shitty criminal gang, this is way beyond our means... my means"
"I know" Moira confirmed casually, as if she didn't give a shit. "And that's why I'm doing it. Negotiating with Giran was a pain in the ass, you know. That asshole really values his clients but nothing money can't change."
Moira ser laughed lightly before continuing. "Now we just have to let little Lena into the lion's den fufufu."
"I'm not interested in the strings you pulled to create this situation" Reaper could almost feel Moira giving her a blank stare. "Now, tell me why Lena Oxton suddenly became so important."
"..." The phone line went dead silent for a few minutes before Moira spoke softly, as if she was afraid of being overheard. "...You know, that girl may be the key to many things in science."
"Immortality. Time travel. Resurrection. Weapons of ultimate destruction. You could even travel to other timelines or create your own where your deepest dreams come true..." Moira spoke quickly as her voice slowly rose as the a perverse excitement swept over her. "That girl's Quirk can turn what was beyond the reach of humanity's hands, something impossible, into something possible! She may be the key the world needs to move forward into a new era!"
"...That one doesn't justify why I'm the bait for a raid between the Yakuzas and the Heroes..."
"Because it's the best way to get samples of your blood without looking suspicious" Moira replied with in a manic, cutting tone that made Reaper nauseous. "In a confrontation where we only focus on her, we will obviously draw the attention of unwanted people. We're lucky that her Quirk remains a secret and she herself doesn't know the extent of what she can do... I dread to think what might happen if her Quirk is Awakened... she could become the first human to set foot in Divinity! Gods! There are so many possibilities!"
"...Understood" Reaper nodded slowly letting out a resigned sigh. His gaze shifted to a brunette girl sleeping peacefully in her bed. "This better be worth it..."
"Trust me. It will"
