My thoughts follow:

AGENTS
Aiko seems to be a fairly good start for a character. Her personality seems like it would make for many good prompts. I do have a few canonical concerns, however. If she spent 10 years in the Nursery before becoming an agent, that means she would have been found in 1995. A cursory Internet search tells me that Digimon technically did not exist until 1999 (or 1997 if you want to count the original toys). There's also the PPC canon issue. If she joined the PPC so early (even as a kid), she would have been through some of the biggest events in PPC history (such as the Reorganization). That's something that needs to be considered when suggesting such an early recruitment. Relatedly, I'm assuming that Anju is a character you want to bring in later? While there's nothing that strictly forbids using a non-canonical species amalgam, I'm a little iffy on the concept.

Henry seems all right, but I feel like there's a possible contradiction between "very blunt" and "restrained around sensitive people." I would emphasize his propensity for verbal gaffes to have that make more sense.

PROMPTS
I noticed a scattering of technical errors (such as on the first page, second paragraph: "It seemed to even more confusing..." There is a missing "be" after the to.) Some of the paragraphs and sentences were awkwardly constructed, such as this one:

He realized his mistake when Anju glared at him and Aiko’s eyes got big and shiny. “What?! No! You don’t even know me! How can you say something like that?”

A character's speech and actions should be connected. The preceding paragraph makes it sound as if Henry was the one talking rather than Aiko. Everything also seemed a bit stilted, which possibly ties into the previously mentioned awkward constructions.

As for the stories themselves, they worked fairly well. I like the interactions between Aiko and Anju. Aiko's consideration nature was very well displayed in her get to Henry.

BADFIC
Yeah, that works for PPC purposes.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to say that your permission request is denied. Your writing needs a bit more polish before I'd be comfortable giving you the final thumbs up. You should also consider going back and tweaking Aiko's backstory to fit both Digimon and the PPC. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm more than willing to help.
