Nighteye was tapping on his desk, for once completely serious. He had gotten all laughter out earlier in preparation for the meeting. Afterall, the Overhaul case was taken extremely seriously as of late. Especially since a child was involved. 

He looked at his All Might clock, counting down the minutes it took for the meeting to begin. He couldn't stand tardiness. 

About three minutes before schedule a familiar knock sounded at the door to his office. The noise was followed by Bubble-Girl, who announced that the detective and underground hero were ready. 

"Come in." Nighteye motions them in, turning off his quirk before shaking hands with the duo. Quickly he took a seat back in his chair. The two visitors look at each other before doing so as well. 

"Thank you for inviting us. We were pleasantly surprised that you have intel on the Chisaki case." Tsukauchi spoke up first. 

Nighteye hummed. "The Chisaki case, hmm?" He mulled it over. "I don't believe I've been informed of it." He sent a mild glare to the detective, who immediately stiffened.

The man in question looked at his counterpart, as if asking for backup. Aizawa stubbornly refused to comment or partake. "You see, we have reason to believe the Chisaki family is behind a multitude of crimes in the district. Haru Chisaki, Kai's apparent older brother had been in charge of a child trafficking and fighting ring--Aizawa can probably tell you more about that topic." He added hesitantly, feeling bad about putting the hero on the spot. He quickly moved the conversation along as he noticed Aizawa's attention elsewhere. "Haru had been in Tartarus custody for almost ten years, but recently had fallen ill. Before he died, he mentioned to Eraserhead that his younger brother had strayed from his path and became…infatuated with the quirkless society." Tsukauchi gulped, nervousness racking his body as Nighteye's gaze pierced him. 

The faint ticking of the clock moving steadily as time passed wished down on the room's occupants. Aizawa continued to analyze all the All Might merch with a borderline disgusted and disappointed gaze. 

"Kai Chisaki has been working within the yakuza and leading the Shie Hassaikai for quite a few years now." Nighteye supplied minimally. But his words were enough to break the ice. 

Tsukauchi let out a sigh of relief. "So you are aware of him." He said softly before speaking up, fully enveloping himself into his work persona. "We have an ongoing public affair's  case regarding an anonymous author who happens to be quirkless. He had gone missing about a year or so ago and with the new information of Kai Chisaki's obsession with the quirkless population, we were hoping to gather intel on him." He breathed in, having said everything in a singular go. 

Nighteye fumbled with his pen, leaning back in his chair, one ankle crossed over his other knee. He twirled the red, blue, and yellow pen between his fingers. He glanced at Aizawa before turning back to Tsukauchi, weighing his options. "The case I have currently includes no intel about his obsession with quirkless individuals, but rather him attempting to rid society of their quirks via a quirk deleting drug. Though we have classified this case as a rescue mission as well since we have reason to believe he is using a child and her quirk to create the weapons." He said, fully interested. 

The detective squinted. "So you agree he has an obsession with the idea of quirklessness?" He phrases it like a statement. His hands were subconsciously latched together, fingers picking at one another. 

"Perhaps." Nighteye shrugged noncommittally. He turned his gaze over to the underground hero once more, as if prompting him to talk. Silence met his curiosity, causing him to quirk an eyebrow. "Do you have any further information regarding the case that I need to be aware of?" 

"Only one child?" Came the thick voice of a highly tired hero. 

Nighteye's focus snapped solely on Eraserhead. "Excuse me?" He asked. 

Aizawa turned his dark gaze to the All Might fanatic. "Kai Chisaki only has one child in his custody?" He repeated, slowing his words as if to dumb them down. His efforts were not lost on the other hero. 

"That we are aware of, yes. There has been no other indication that another child or children are under his influence or care." He replied, tartly. Pursing his lips, he turns to Tskuauchi who had been thinking on the man's initial question. 

"I have another open case about a quirkless family's alleged disappearance. So far little intel is on the forums, legal documents, or databases. Besides the name, the family is nonexistent. I've sense called around to local stations, only to find they have similar problems, except some workers vaguely remember working on the case. Strangely enough, they cannot recall specific information about the family either." He spoke calmly. 

"Ah, the Midoriya's." Nighteye said. But upon seeing the detective's shocked and excited expression, he clarified. "You mentioned them on the forum." 

Tsukauchi visibly deflated at the lack of information. 

Aizawa sapped his head to Nighteye, sending the taller a look. "When are you acting on taking down the Shie Hissaikai?" He said, oddly aware of the situation despite having seemed to not pay attention in the slightest. 

Nighteye was clearly flabbergasted and hesitant to speak. He shook his head to dispel the small flare of distrust on his mind. "Hoping to begin the mission later this week." He spoke. 

"I'm joining." Aizawa said before turning his attention back to a poster he seemed to thoroughly dislike. Of course the face smiling back at him was the one and only number one hero. 

Nighteye looked incredulously at the homeroom teacher, his stoic personality falling slightly in the presence of the deadpan hero. He turned his gaze back to Tsukauchi. 

"Uhh, I guess I'll be joining too." He commented, sounding unsteady yet placing a strong facade up. 

Nighteye was left oddly speechless.
