A Spy Among Them (ShinsoxBakugoxDabixAizawaxReader and more..)

Ch. 119 The New Spy

It was too fucking early in the morning for this shit.

Hawks' headache was killing him. They'd stayed at the club until almost sunrise, drinking too much as they tried to cheer up Dabi after y/n left.

Damn, Dabi had been in such a mood, Hawks remembered. Not that he wasn't always, but he was even more sullen and angry than normal last night.

How could someone who'd just gotten laid be in such a bad mood?

Even aside from the sex, Dabi should have been in the best mood ever, actually, since Hawks had reunited him with y/n. So much for gratitude.

Then Hawks had had to deal with those two young heroes who were supposed to be babysitting y/n. He cringed when he thought back on the conversation between him and Tamaki earlier this morning.

Hawks hadn't suspected that such a quiet guy knew that many curse words.

And then on top of all of that, when Hawks finally charged his phone back at his apartment, he had a ton of missed calls from Shinso of all people.

That's why he finally agreed to meet Shinso at his new office this morning.

So there they were, Shinso looking incredibly nervous and serious about something and Hawks trying to work through his hangover and not throw up on the brand new desk in front of him.

"You have to do something," Shinso was saying. "Like, right now."

"What?" Hawks asked, trying to ignore his headache. "I don't have to do anything. Talk me through what's going on."

"You need to start arresting them, or raid their headquarters, or just do anything at all. I feel like I'm the only one taking any risks here."

This again? Hawks sighed.

Shinso was his spy inside the Shie Hassaikai organization, even though Hawks was the only one who knew it. 

Hawks had already told him that Shinso had to keep up the undercover work for a little while longer. Shinso couldn't quit working for the yakuza until heroes raided the headquarters and in the meantime they needed him to gather as much intel as possible.

Hawks had been surprised when Shinso initially approached him. He didn't even know the kid, but his quirk was impressive. And on top of that, the Shie Hassaikai had reached out to Shinso. It couldn't have been more perfect.

Thanks to Shinso, they had learned so much already. This was not the time for him to stop.

"Look," Hawks said, "we now have the address for the yakuza headquarters from a second source, so there's no way that it would be traced back to you. And thanks to you, kid, we have a longer list of members than we had before. That's going to be really helpful for learning about their individual quirks. You've done well so far. We need you to keep this up for now."

"How close are you to actually raiding the place?" Shinso asked.

There was no way Hawks was going to give out information like that. "Leave those details to me," he told Shinso. "Be patient and don't forget that you came to me, kid."

"I came to you because there was no one else," Shinso said, thinking of Aizawa and what he'd learned on y/n's computer.

"And I'm glad you did."

"I came to you," Shinso continued, "because I thought I had the opportunity to help both my girlfriend and other people by giving you information about the Shie Hassaikai after they approached me."

"Your girlfriend, huh?"

Hawks' head hurt too badly to even go there right now.

"Well, you've done a good job," Hawks said. "You've managed to stay safe, y/n's free from the evil clutches of the League of Villains or whatever, and we are close to moving in on the yakuza."
