Ch. 2: Igaina pātonāshippu
About several weeks passed and things are back to normal, as Musutafu and other neighboring areas are slowly getting back to its feet as business resumes and the economy recovered, along with the peace and order situation, as the public returning to their homes as they no longer fear for their safety.
Midoriya is continuing his studies at UA Academy as he began his second year in high school while Kaina Tsutsumi, aka Lady Nagant, resume her career as a pro hero and works at the Hero Public Safety Commission under the new leadership of Yokumiru Mera, as he made sure that the commission would be corruption-free so as to prevent another incident that led to Tsutsumi being wrongfully incarcerated after being threatened.
Despite the peace society achieved after the final defeat of All For One, criminal activities resumed, only this time the villains resorted to underground drug trafficking so that the Hero Public Safety Commission would be unaware of this since the HPSC is focused on superhuman activities involving pro villains.
However, Hawks was able to get the gist and managed to secretly get some intel, and became alarmed as he discovered that several law enforcers and some high-ranking police officials are in cahoots with the drug dealers, and there about two weeks later, he made an appointment which he would hold a secret meeting with Mera, Naomasa Tsukauchi, and Kenji Tsuragamae at a hotel, and there the four of them are discussing on how to dismantle the cartel and expose the corrupt officials.
"…and that's the intel I got at this time…"
"Oh dear…so the drug dealers found a way to bypass even the Hero Public Safety Commission..."
"No way…"
"So even the police force has been infiltrated by corruption…woof…"
"So sorry, gentlemen…but that's the truth."
"And I thought that All For One's death would discourage even Quirkless criminal elements…"
"We got to do something…"
"I agree…woof…"
By then Hawks got an idea, which the others glanced at him and listen, where Hawks said that his idea is to have someone infiltrate the cartel and pretend to be FINANCIALLY INVESTED in the drug business while secretly gathering information and evidence, like how Hawks did when he infiltrated the Paranormal Liberation Army before.
While Mera and Tsukauchi appeared to like the idea, Tsuragamae rubbed his chin and asked how would that work now that Hawks is already known for exposing the Paranormal Liberation Army after revealing to the press conference about how he portrayed a sleeper agent after Best Jeanist revealed that he faked his death before.
Hawks smiled sheepishly and said that he already knows that and stated that he has a pair of persons in mind on who would fill those roles and came up with a way to fool the cartel, which Mera and Tsukauchi glanced at each other, and when Hawks revealed what he has in mind, Mera, Tsukauchi and Tsuragamae stared wide-eyed in surprise, and asked him if he is serious about this plan of his.
"Oh boy…"
"Are you…?"
"Do you believe that this plan your proposing would work, woof?"
"Yup. I believe so…"
"That's quite a risk…"
"But that's…"
"Are you sure about this, Hawks? Woof."
"Yup."

About three weeks later, an unexpected incident took place, where a press conference took place where Nezu and Shota Aizawa appeared before several reporters, where they announced that Izuku Midoriya has been expelled from UA Academy due to finding illegal drugs in his possession, while at the same time Mera said that Midoriya's provisional hero license has been revoked.
At the same time Mera revealed that Tsutsumi has also been expelled from the Hero Public Safety Commission for MURDERING a vital EYEWITNESS to a drug trade in exchange for MONEY, and also had her hero license revoked, thus the two aforementioned individuals can no longer do hero work and cannot use their Quirks in public, and the reporters are in disbelief as they wondered why the 16-year old boy do something like that after risking his life saving Japan from All For One.
"No way…"
"It can't be…"
"How…"
"Why would he do that? He saved Japan and defeated the ULTIMATE villain…"
"Looks like Midoriya's fame got to his head…"
"He got full of himself…"
"Now he resorted to crime…"
"What a waste…"
At Heights Alliance, Class 2A was in a state of emotional disarray as they too could not believe that their classmate would do something like this and believed that Midoriya was set upped by someone and there they told Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo to get Endeavor and Best Jeanist to help in finding a way to clear Midoriya's name, as aside from being expelled from UA Academy, Midoriya is also expelled from Heights Alliance dormitory.
"W-wait…I'll see what I can do…"
"Calm down, will you? We're just as surprised as you are!"
"Todoroki! Bakugo! Please!"
"Do something! Talk to Endeavor and Jeanist!"
"Midoriya was set upped! We're sure of it!"
"Deku is innocent!"
"He's been framed! That's the truth!"
"We got to prove that Midoriya is not a drug addict and such!"
-x-
At the Musutafu Police Headquarters, the corrupt police officials were smirking, seeing that UA Academy is now put in a bad light and thus the school's reputation would put the academy in a bad way, leading to the public to doubt and lose faith in the hero students, and Midoriya would be ostracized by the public because of this.
"Heh."
"So even someone from UA Academy fell from grace…"
"And now he's no longer a pro hero."
"If he has drugs in his possession…that means…"
"I get what you're thinking…"
"Are you…?"
"Hold on…"
"Heh…"
Likewise, the corrupt officials are pleased to see that Tsutsumi is STILL CORRUPT, and even opened up the idea of recruiting her so as to have a form of protection from PRYING EYES as well as seeing that she is accepting BRIBE and PROTECTION money, seeing that she can be approachable depending on the price she is willing to accept.
"You serious?"
"You can't…"
"Why not?"
"That's right. She's no longer a pro hero."
"She even accepts money in exchange…"
"Sounds good. We could use her as a…"
"Lets think about it carefully."
"Okay."
-x-
A few days later, the scene shifts at a park, which the time now is 23:45, and there you can see that Midoriya and Tsutsumi are sitting on a bench, glancing at the ground, looking like they are losing faith towards society after the MISFORTUNES that struck them, with all that has happened that led to Midoriya being expelled from UA Academy and Tsutsumi being ON THE RUN from authorities for the MURDER.
However, it is revealed that everything was STAGED, as Hawks held a secret meeting with Nezu, Aizawa, and Midoriya, while Tsutsumi, Best Jeanist and the Lurkers are also in attendance, alongside Tsuragamae, and Tsukauchi. There the two honest police officials produced the names of the high-ranking police officials who are working with the cartel, and said that to gather evidence to expose the corrupt officials, they need to send at least two secret agents to infiltrate, and to avoid suspicions, they need to make it appear that the agents' reputations be smeared in public so as to make the would-be undercover agents look convincing enough to fool the cartel runners.
There Hawks and Nezu tells Midoriya about the plan, which surprised the 16-year old boy, as he realized that this would require a huge amount of effort as this would mean deceiving his mother and classmates, in order to make the public, the cartel runners and the corrupt officials believe that Midoriya would be disgraced and SEDUCED to resort to crime.
While Aizawa is against this he was persuaded to agree, and Hawks then told Lady Nagant about the other plan, and while feeling a bit uncomfortable about the idea, she eventually agreed to it if it means exposing the corrupt officials and put a stop to the drug cartel business for good.
Everyone is in agreement and puts the plan in motion and thus leading to the current events, and there Midoriya and Tsutsumi pretended that they just met, and made it appear that they became disillusioned with the system and society, as it is revealed that some of Hawks' feathers are hidden inside Midoriya's clothes as they act as listening devices, and as expected, a cartel liaison came, overhearing Midoriya and Tsutsumi talking, and he believed that Midoriya and Lady Nagant can be CORRUPTED as he can give them some FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE in exchange for working for the cartel.
"Excuse me. Perhaps I may be of some assistance…"
"Huh?"
"What...?"
"If you have nowhere to go…and in need of money…I might help you."
"Really…?"
"Are you serious…?"
"Yes. Free lodging…food and clothes…and earn some POCKET MONEY…and you won't have to worry about anything…"
"…"
"…"
Midoriya and Tsutsumi were mentally surprised that the cartel were quick to respond, seeing that the STAGED press conference has fooled the cartel runners and now the ball is in the court as the two undercover agents decided to step up their game and pretended to be disillusioned, and asked what good would the offer do, and the cartel liaison said that the cartel has a HUGE BACKERS and their protection would be guaranteed, and the liaison smirked as he believed that his charms worked as Midoriya and Tsutsumi are pretending to consider the offer.
"What do you think?"
"Either way…it's the same."
"Huh?"
"We can't go back. You got kicked out from your school…your mom even expelled you…and your pretty much homeless."
"I suppose…"
"Me. I can't go back either."
"Then…"
"…"
Midoriya further stepped up on his acting by pretending to ask if the cartel would ensure that he would gain something financially and that he won't get caught by the police, which the liaison assured that everything would be okay, giving his word that the cartel will make Midoriya financially secured, and the liaison appeared to be pleased as Midoriya said that he will consider it.
"So…what do you say, kid…?"
"…I..."
"Like I said…free lodging…food and clothes…and earn some EXTRA money…"
"But would I have to go out in public?"
"No worries. We'll protect you."
"Really? Fine. I'm in."
"Oh, that's good."
"…"
Then Tsutsumi asked if she would be hired as a hired gun or would she be taught about the tools of the trade, which the liaison said that perhaps the latter would suit her better as going public would not be viable option given that she is now on the wanted list, and thus it is better that she stays OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE.
"You know…"
"…"
"It'd be better if you would be taught on how to make deals…yeah, it would suit you better."
"You think so…?"
"Yup. You're wanted…and showing yourself in public would attract u wanted attention, so it would be better if you stay out of the public eye…"
"Guess you have a point…"
"So…are you…?"
"Fine. I'm in."
Pleased with the results of the discussion, the cartel liaison led Midoriya and Tsutsumi inside a limousine and drove towards an unspecified location, and the scene shifts at Hawks' hero agency office where Hawks, Jeanist, and Endeavor are listening to the listening devices hidden within Midoriya and Tsutsumi's bodies, and found out that the plan worked, and now the top three Pro Heroes will have to wait before the corrupt police officials and top brasses would be visually identified.
"Deku and Lady Nagant are in."
"Looks like the first stage of your plan have worked, Hawks."
"Its too early to praise me. This is where the next stage would be set. Once Midoriya and Tsutsumi entered the secret hideout, they need to identify which police officials are in cahoots with the cartel."
"Hawks is right, Jeanist. Let's hope that the rest of the cartel members are convinced that Deku and Lady Nagant are disgraced from the public so as not to suspect the two that they are spies."
"Yes. We got that."
"Have faith. Midoriya and Tsutsumi got past the first stage."
"True. And now we will await the next."
"That's right."
"Oh boy…"
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, and while there's not much action other than an unexpected situation which Midoriya and Lady Nagant were forced to pretend to be disgraced individuals in order to fool the upcoming antagonists…an undercover mission is in the works, and both Midoriya and Lady Nagant would work together, and there a possible romance might take place…
