A/N apologies for it being so long - not only have I've been drawing , but I've been waiting for season 3

and now I hear there's going to be a movie! Woo! I feel inspired!

—o-o-o-o-

I wasn't expecting to get the green light – it was crucial time in U.A where the focus was on internships & exams. What a time for this setback to happen!

"You're asking us to provide a reason – school trip even, to take a group students down to the underground city of Constantine – just to locate some rogues because your chief can't keep a handle on them?!"

"It's not like that at all powerloader! I understand that this is crucial time for them, what with their placements and exams – but couldn't it be considered as a learning experience for them? How many of you before my arrival knew of our existence?!"

Only four put their hand up – principal Nezu, midnight, eraserhead and of course, All Might.

What was I getting exactly? Looking around the table I could see dismissive looks.

"Heroes, Police And Interrogators alike should be cooperatively working together – more so now than ever. A way in which a world of Interrogators to become common knowledge to the public than they have been in the past. I would like the heroes of tomorrow to walk with the Interrogators in the future. I'm prepared to take on the responsibility of my people in Constantine for their shortcomings. Not sure how, but we need to start somewhere – however small"

"Young miss, the most we can offer you is for you to bide some time until placements are done and the exams are completed. We can put out an alert to heroes to ensure that they have authority to defend themselves from rogue Interrogators. That way, we can avert another internal war. I myself will have a meeting with chief Hirai in the meantime"

This was to be expected. It struck me oddly how diplomatic we had to be at all times. Our only go between and mediator was the police – even then it appeared they weren't looking at the bigger picture.

But it was a step in the right direction at least. Now the real uphill struggle begins – vaccinating the students!

"Keep still Bakugo! How am I supposed to give you Your HPV vaccine if you're trying to give me the run around?! Hold still!"

"To hell I will!"

"Don't make me incapacitate you!"

"You're not my old lady!"

By this point of him running around in my nurse office, I had made a pre-prepared, spring loaded vaccination needle whilst he continued to protest.

"Hey -HEY what are you doing?"

"Oh…..nothing. I'm going to give you one more chance to sit down and take your vaccination like a good hero"

"Go to hell"

Ahhh The temptation was just too much – I flung the needle at such a high speed he didn't even have time to react as he was finally inoculated. Even as I back flipped over him, removed the needle and hauled him outside, he was in a moment of a daze. Patting his head and giving him a sticker, I left him him to wonder what the hell happened as he walked to his next class.

Honestly, you'd think I was trying to inject broccoli juice into him! And he's the 5th one I've had to use as a dart board – rumours began to swirl around in no time – that my quirk was something to do being able to throw needles without looking. I laughed my ass of at the thought.

The only one I know with a quirk similar to that of an 'aim-bot' was Sniper!

It takes skill and constant extreme training to do that – well I had to train in Logi's shadow box with Jin for months on end, dodging and combating him within the darkness. How I came out alive was beyond my comprehension – and I still had days when I couldn't aim for all the tea in china.

A small intermittent light flashed on my laptop as I was filling in the paperwork before the next batch of students were due to arrive.

"Rieka – how good of you to drop a line in. How's the Yakuza mission going with Inari?"

Her canine nose twitched. Her face was human, but from the knees down they resembled more doglike, hind legs.

"Could be better, we've been tracking a group called Shie Hassaikai. Know anything?"

I shook my head. Yakuza in general terms yes. Mostly because the outer sectors of the bureau were contending with them. Only a few of us from the heathen and heresy division were taking on Yakuza cases. Mainly because most didn't pose as a threat nowadays. Although it hasn't stopped then from coming to us if they need a particular person 'interrogated'.

Again, what we did were deemed deplorable – almost as if we were 'Devil's advocates'.

"Hmmmm. Maybe they haven't made themselves known to the public. I've been in contact with a gentleman called 'Sir Nighteye' because most of the troubles have been occurring around his district"

"Again Rieka, these are all new names to me. I'm doing an investigation into the disappearance on now 2 of my comrades. Maki is in Tartarus and the other two….."

"Have you checked Constantine City? Jin is known to skulk around there"

"I've been trying to – but as to not draw attention I have to wait till the students have finished their exams and studies"

Rieka loomed closer towards her end of the laptop ,whispering a good point.

"Since when has Grim had to wait for shit like this?"

"Never, I've always followed my gut instinct"

"Then, go to Constantine"

And just like that the screen went black – with the words to signify that the mini meeting was adjourned.

Admittedly I was apprehensive to begin with – then again, there are a few known spots that I'm certain that Jin would be skulking around. I hope he isn't drunk himself into a stupor and has got himself into hot water.

How he ended up as my mentor has always been a mystery to me. The chief just decided to assign me to him because the 'team needed some logic'.

Logic indeed. I spent most of the time near enough covering him when he wanted to sneak off to the red-light district. Jin did make me laugh though – and was always there for me when I got upset when I was in my teens. Over time he was like an older brother to me (or an drunken uncle – not sure which). Even down to moments when All Might would be visiting the city to drop off villains at the bureau.

I didn't realise at the time, but Jin never liked the way All Might would stroll into our training grounds, asking for tips and advice in general before asking for my whereabouts. Sometimes I would be there training and I could sense him peering from behind the door, almost too shy to enter despite being outgoing for an hour at least assuring himself.

As far as Jin was concerned, All Might was an everyday pompous Hero with no experience with the hardships that came with what he called – real work.

A knock on the infirmary door brought me out of my nostalgia.

"Miss Yakota?"

"Ah, Izuku! Come on in" Waving a hand in a 'come hither' motion whilst I flipped through his recent medical records. The basics mind you – nothing extensive.

"um,…wh-where is Constantine City?"

I put down the pen.

"It's under our feet"

Of course the first thing he does is take it literally and begins to lift up his shoes in a panic, making me grin with how gullible he can be.

"you shouldn't be listening in to my conversations – you might get the wrong end of the stick and lead you down the wrong rabbit hole"

"you have some strange sayings Miss Yakota…."

Thanks for reminding me of my social ineptness Izuku.

"W-well, where I'm from we have a lot of strange sayings Izuku" almost pouting as I drew up his vaccine.

"What's the city like? Have you been there? I've never heard of an underground city before – maybe it's in fantasy books o-or in a history book. Like the lost city of Atlantis!"

Injecting the vial of clear liquid into his arm made him flinch a little. The boy was twittering on about as if he was the next Indiana Jones! Coming up with various conspiracies that only some of them were true.

"It's not a place for an unprepared Hero in training such as yourself" I slumped into the swivel chair.

"So …..you have been there" his question had become more pressing and curious.

I sidestepped the question. Only explaining what knew without him becoming intrigued again. Toshinori has not long shook him off my ass moments ago at the festival.

"My parents went there…..particularly my mother – my father never did like visiting because it 'reeked of dishonesty'. My mother She, would bring back unusual trinkets and Specialised clothing that were barely legal. Nothing that would get you into Tartarus or the minimal – Jail. But it would be things like clothes that would make you silent and invisible or a harpoon gun that could rip your soul out momentarily"

Noticing that he had turned a little pale I played it down as best as I could.

"Of course most are confiscated now and besides, do you honestly think the police would allow both hero and villains alike to run around with those sorts of contraptions?"

Izuku shook his head feverishly, the chair quaking along with him. I hadn't the heart to tell him that only 30% were confiscated – the rest were either in the bureau's vault or have gone 'missing'.

"Can….can anyone go there?"

Filing the last bits of paperwork I almost slammed my fingers in the filing cabinet's metallic mouth from his persistence.

I nodded, confirming with wordless sound. That was a daft question considering the amount of flyers the chief has put up in all of the hero agencies (just to bring in tourist) but in all honesty, most were taken down the moment they were put up.

"Apart from unprepared students" I added sternly "and overzealous Heroes"

Izuku sighed in defeat, lightly pressing his thumb against his teeth.

"I wouldn't go chasing white rabbits either Izuku. Until it can be safely arranged, don't go on one of your little adventures ok? Now, off you trot. I need to finish up as soon as I can" writing up the last of my notes before grabbing my bohemian coat.

Watching his mind tick over I carefully looked on, seeing him scamper off back to his homeroom. Ah! At least my school shift here is done! Now all that is left is my interrogator work.

Should I go in my official uniform? Suppose I could, keep the trail off me for a little while…,

—~—

Constantine city. It puts A whole different perspective to 'the buried city'. It had its own weather system – but synthetic lighting so most of its residents were pasty looking to say the least. Unless of course you went above a lot.

Despite the heat and humidity, the buildings appeared to have had enough of holding up Mustafu city; which was why long and sturdy pillars spiralled valiantly upwards to keep it's sky from 'falling' entirely in their steed. The rest of the city's skyline was reinforced with Titanium and stainless steel.

We could even survive a All out war if it happened!

The world had places that you would consider as an 'underbelly' or black market. Maki had tried to explain it to new heroes and interns that the city isn't any of those. It was surprisingly civil and to a degree, technologically advanced – but it was cut-throat, and apathetic.

You can take money with you and Constantine has a thriving economy, but you could also pay in kind – and in bounties or interrogator targets.

I was the only one stupid (or reckless) enough to own an All Might target warrant which of course authorised me to incapacitate him should the occasion ever arise. I think it's was worth enough to buy 5 mansions or an entire sector in the city before he defeated All for one. It's not worth much now….

I snuck into the underground monorail tube which was gothic black and the only way you could access its morbid station was to walk down some steps of the entrance which was disguised as dilapidated and crumbling. Pass 4 rusty doors and enter a key code on the last one and you had reach your destination.

In my interrogator uniform, I pressed my face against the glass. I was petrified the fist time I ever came to the city – now it was like visiting the fairground.

The bureau stood out in the centre all white with ebony etchings on its marble pillars before you entered its dark oak reinforced with titanium doors.

It was amusing to see as I was descending how each of the sectors took on its own hue of colour. The reddish part was of course, very known for its extravagant lifestyles, opium dens, red light district, gambling/casinos and the like. I think Masami from the Akaishi family is the leading head of that district.

"We have arrived at Constantine City. Please bring all belongings with you including weapons, bodies and luggage. Enjoy your stay"

Morbid announcement hasn't changed in the slightest I see.

Getting off the platform I could almost feel the weight of glares resting on the back of my cloaked hood. From the front however, it was a mixture of surprise and brutality that glinted in their expressions.

"Grim, how goes the mission? Where are your comrades?"

In Constantine, 80% of the time when they're talking to you (if you honestly believe that gloating and being sardonic is a way of communicating), they're also squaring off and trying to act Alpha on you.

"Minos I really don't have the time to set off a level 4 biohazard alarm in this sector, so if you would kindly like to snap your own neck – it would save me the time and trouble"

Minos, whose quirk is being half bull and half man (just like in the Greek books of old), didn't take too kindly to my reasonable advice. Instead, he made charge at me. Despite his titanic size, the idiot was agile and managed to gore me on my right side. I coughed up rusty blood.

"This is going to smart in more ways than one in the morning"

One of the dilapidated buildings posing as a casino was soon enough, no more than a pile of rubble as I unhooked myself and proceeded to sling him across the street, doing more than annoy the people inside.

Despite the sector being red in hue, the air was blue from cursing residents.

I made my escape through the back alleys before the lumbering giant could shake the brick & glass off of him. I wanted to find Jin as fast as I could. This place can take its toll on you regardless of who you are that, and I wanted to get back to the surface before anyone knew of my whereabouts.

At least the Hole in my side was beginning to close up – it's still going to smart for a while though.

I must've walked a good ten minutes before I reached a familiar area. The red light district.

Heroes, civilians and villains alike would have a field day here if they stumbled upon it (not in that sense either! Well, I'm not entirely sure because…..yeah – needs and all that). The district had that cyber-punk feel to it despite its Edo inspired construct of the place.

Drunken laughter roared from one particular place – the fallen hero. A risqué bar of sorts in which going in there was going leave a bad taste in my mouth. But the singing…..Jin's singing would make you confess to every crime you did because he was so bad at it.

And he was there. With his version of Whitney Houston's I will always love you whilst having a couple of hostesses on his lap plying him with enough alcohol to give him poisoning 10 times over!

grabbing a solid oak chair I flung it so fast it knocked him over the bar itself. Never in my life was I this infuriated! My gloves were dripping with copious amount biohazardous liquid it began to make the people within the bar nauseous.

"I've spent many weeks locked up by All for One's psychotic lapdog, Maki has evolved into a humanoid made of tubes and information with Logi still missing and you! YOU are HERE drunk off your ass womanising!"

The bar creaked and groaned as he ripped it from it foundations, hurling it so it pinned me against the wall.

"I was looking for you and the others as well! You were nowhere to be seen kiddo! Don't you think I was worried?! The vice Chief assured me that they would do everything to have you all returned!"

"Vice…..chief? Since when have we had one of those?" I heaved the bar off of me with his help.

Chief Hirai worked alone at the Beureu – sure there were the international board of directors but he handled everything single handedly. Mainly because he was antisocial to the point he considering moving his office to an island. Until mother stepped in of course.

"Yeah, now what was his name….." Jin stumbled outside the bar and into a nearby gutter. "….Takeo I recall"

He pulled out two more large bottles of whiskey.

"Drinking won't numb that unrequited ache of yours Phobious." Sitting down beside him as we watched the bustle of others go by.

"If your uncle hadn't sent us to a mission up above she'd never get so obsessed with its people"

I kept silent – mainly because up until now, I never knew how she met my father so this was new to me!

Jin let out a burdened sigh.

"She wanted to know everything and when she made friends with that nana shimura - that was it. I lost my chance. She got injured – badly from a run in with All for one's lackey and stupidly I listened to Shimura to take her to a hospital. Your father was on duty that night and that was that. I guess… I couldn't protect her enough"

"Phobious….Jin…." resting my hand on his shoulder " you can't predict who you're supposed to end up with. And this is a bad time to feel sorry for yourself. We have Logi to locate and I could really do with your expertise. I'm scared someone is trying to start another interrogator war – and now you've told me we have a new vice chief makes me suspicious"

A large explosion could be seen from the nearby district.

Both of us bolted upward and onto our feet.

"Who on earth is attacking the Asagi district!?"

"Who would be stupid enough to attack the one place you can get specialised weaponry Grim?"

Bolts of off colour neon were shooting off in all directions before we got a low blast of a cold chill air whipped around us all.

Jin gave me a stern look.

"Were you followed Grim?"

"Was I what? No! I made sure I-"

"Tch, Kasumi you made a rookie mistake!"

"It might not be them, it makes no logical sense to begin with!"

"You've got All Might wannabes – go figure….come on – we better go clear up this mess before it gets serious. And then I'll bollock you for leaving U.A without their permission. I have my ways of gaining information. Don't think I don't keep an eye on you also because I do. Your mother would kill me"

I did get an earful on the way to where the commotion was though. I hope Jin's assumptions were wrong as well as mine. And my civilian phone won't stop ringing….
