I figure if they're taking it down because they realized how awful it was, it might amuse them to see it immortalized and lambasted. Or it might be horribly embarrassing. Either way, it makes the most sense to just ask.

If it's been deleted, it presumably can't have any effect on the canon any more, so my instinct would be to leave it be.
Of course, if you'd published your mission of it and then it had been taken down, you could pat yourself on the back for a job well done, because your agents had clearly done such a good job the fic was totally removed from the multiverse.
I think it's been done before... by

I faintly remember a mission in which the agents were endangered because the fic was being deleted - was that The Original Series? - but I think that ought to be the exception. Up to you, and no one would blame you for it, I think, but in your position, I'd leave it be.
