Batingency Plans
# 6
It was the day. The day came once a year. It was the day that Batingency Plan 6 would be put into use. It was April 1st.
He had been planning this day for months, and had the perfect plan for each of his teammates. Robin zeta'd over to the cave just after midnight. He knew everyone was asleep. He took his time setting up the pranks, and left for the Batcave before everyone woke up. It was best to watch his plans unfold far away.
-Too lazy to make a real break line.-
Artemis was the first to wake up. She normally didn't stay at the mountain, but her mom was bugging her about being antisocial. So she said she was having a sleepover with Megan and her mom shut up.
She checked the clock; it was 6:30. Man, she slept in. She was usually up by 5:30 or 6:00. Oh well. One day won't hurt.
Artemis rolled out of bed and went to get dressed. She planned on getting in a morning workout before breakfast, then heading home. She went to her closet and opened It to get out a t-shirt and some shorts, but what she found in her closet wasn't her work out clothes.
Her closet looked like a Barbie doll had thrown up in it. Everything was pink, her clothes, her shoes, there were even some pink purses in there. And every item of clothing was a dress, and every pair of shoes had heels. It was a nightmare.
She wasn't going to wear that. So, she turned to her dresser where she kept some older rattier clothing. But inside her dresser was pink lingerie, pink socks, and some pink skirts and blouses.
Why? Why would someone do this to her?
That's when she saw a note on her desk. She reached over, and grabbed it. When she read the words, her fists involuntarily clinched in anger.
Artemis,
Happy April Fools Day! Stay traught.
Robin
Robin. That little ninja was dead!
Her scream of rage echoed throughout the cave. "ROBIN!"
-Another break line, still so lazy.—
Artemis' scream of rage woke up Connor, and made his ears ring slightly. What had made the archer so mad? Whatever. Time to get up anyways.
Connor sat up and got out of bed, only to feel pain? In his feet? He looked down and saw the floor was littered with small plastic blocks. He decided to ignore the blocks and headed to get a new shirt.
Bad idea. Each step he took sent new waves of pain running up his legs. What the heck were the monstrous blocks? He tried to pick one up, but found it glued to the floor. He was ready to rip someone's head off.
That's when he saw the note on the door. He walked over to grab the note- Ow. Ow. Ow.- and what he read made him want to kill a ninja.
Connor,
Happy April Fools Day! Feelin' the aster?
Robin
He couldn't believe Robin would do this to him. It wasn't funny at all. "ROBIN!"
- 'Nother break line.-
Megan woke up after hearing the two screams of rage. She had no idea what was going on, but it didn't sound nice. She left her room and went to the kitchen, thinking it would be a good idea to make everyone breakfast. Inside the kitchen, there was a box of her favorite cookie, Oreos, and a note.
The martian picked up the box of delicious sugary perfection, and the note. The note made her smile.
Megan,
Happy April Fools Day! I thought I'd give you the day off. Enclosed is $50 so that you can buy everyone breakfast instead of cooking like you normally do. Enjoy the cookies!
Robin
Robin was so nice, she was glad he was her teammate. Megan decided that before she went to get breakfast, she could have one Oreo. She opened the package and took one of the amazing cookies.
She grabbed the money and started out, the cookie in her hand. She bit into it, ready to experience the sweet creaminess she was used to, but instead found herself gagging. There was something wrong with the Oreo. It was not nice and sweet, it was minty and tasted somewhat like toothpaste. All she knew was that Oreo's were ruined for her now.
"Why Robin, why?"
-And cue KF-
Wally awoke to the smell of food. Everyone was already in the kitchen eating. Only, something was wrong. Megan was throwing Oreos, her favorite food, away. Artemis was wearing a pink skirt with a matching shirt. Connor was looking on the ground suspiciously and seemed to have a problem with his feet. Only Kaldur was acting normal.
"Hey guys, how's it going?"
Three people looked over at him with hateful expressions in their eyes. Kaldur spoke up. "It seems to have been a stressful morning for our teammates."
Then they explained what had happened. Wally tried to hold in the laughter, but failed. "Man, Robin is beast when it comes to April Fools day!"
"Aren't you worried he'll prank you?" said Connor.
"No, we gave that up years ago, after we nearly destroyed the Batcave."
Everyone went back to eating, light conversation littering the air. After everyone was done, they dispersed, but Wally was still hungry. So, he went to make himself something to eat.
But the cabinets were empty, and the refrigerator was filled with the most loathsome food known to man, sausages.
"No, not again!"
On the door was a note, but Wally already knew what it would say.
Wally,
Happy April Fools Day! Hope you're whelmed.
Robin
He couldn't believe it; Robin had broken the truce they had established many years ago. And he messed with Wally's food. No one messes with Wally's food.
'ROBIN!"
-Kaldur should be more careful.-
Kaldur was worried, and rightfully so. All of his teammates had been pranked by Robin, one could only assume he was next. So he did what any Atlantean would do in times of stress. He went for a swim.
The water of the swimming pool was kept on a saltwater filter, just for him. However, the water looked a little more blue than normal…
But Kaldur set those thoughts aside, blaming Robin for making him paranoid.
The water was cool and refreshing. Kaldur stayed in the pool for a couple hours, then deemed it safe to leave his watery sanctum. When he came out, things were not as they should be.
His entire body was tinted a fluorescent shade of blue. That was when he saw the note on the locker room door.
Kaldur,
Happy April Fools Day, you big loveable smurf!
Robin
Robin. He had finally pranked everyone on the Team. Even his leader. "Robin."
-Break Line for Roy-
Roy was having a bad day. First Ollie had sent him an exploding pie as an April Fools joke, then he was called to the mountain by Robin for some important mission.
So, Red Arrow went to the mountain, but as the computer let him in he noticed something was off.
Recognized: Speedy B-06.
He really needed to fix that computer. "Computer, B-06 designation Red Arrow."
Recognized: Kim Possible B-06.
Oh, no. This machine did not just call him Kim Possible. Then music started to play.
"I'm your basic average girl, and I'm here to save the world, you can't stop me 'cause I'm Kim Possible."
"Computer, B-06 designation Red Arrow."
Recognized: Ariel B-06.
Ariel? Who was Ariel? He knew as soon as more music started.
"Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything?"
He took a deep breath and calmed down, then tried once more.
"Computer, B-06 designation Red Arrow."
Recognized: Princess Merida B-06.
Princess Merida? He wasn't a princess!
"I will ride, I will fly, chase the wind and touch the sky, I will fly, chase the wind and touch the sky."
This was not funny. "Computer, are there any messages for B-06?"
Affirmative. Roy, Happy April Fools Day. From: Robin B-01.
Robin. He should have known. "Computer, B-06 designation Red Arrow."
Then he decided he was leaving to kill a ninja. He entered the coordinates into the zeta tube and went to leave.
Recognized: Pippi Longstockings B-06
All that could be heard as the zeta beam took Roy away was, "ROBIN!"
-We've reached the end-
Robin sat in the study of Wayne Manor, watching as his teammates found his little surprises and laughing himself to death. That's why, when his glove, which he was watching the Mountains surveillance videos on, suddenly died, he freaked out.
"No! My precious! Who did this to you!"
Dick felt a presence behind him. He turned to see Bruce standing behind him.
"You. You did this. You will pay!"
Bruce glared playfully. "So you're the only one who gets to use Batingency Plan 6?"
-Almost done-
Nightwing lay on his bed remembering that day a few years ago. Several other April Fools days had come and gone, and yet his team hadn't tried to get any sort of revenge. He hadn't used Batingency Plan 6 again because it was their time to respond. Of course, he had avoided them for a few days after that, just to let them cool off, but he was surprised that there wasn't any retaliation.
Oh well, it was three in the morning and he had to be at work by six.
This was one of the first I wrote, I've been saving it. That's why it took place season 1 rather than season 2. So, a quick look at this week. There are two follow up chapters to this one, so they'll be posted this week. The Path to Justice has one final chapter that will be posted, and I'm going to start another new story bridging the two seasons called Five Years. Regular updates for stories will continue next week.
Also, if you wish to flame me, please use your account. I'd love to be able to respond and talk to you privately to see what I can work on and do better. I'll be posting a copy of this message on all my stories, so I hope it doesn't bother anyone.
