Young Babies Ch12: The Egg Hunt
Third Person's P.O.V.
Easter came and all the kids got something. They all each got a chocolate bunny and then something from their mentors. M'gann got a new cook book, Conner got some of Ma Kent's apple pie, Kaldur got a book, Raquel got two new pairs of shoes, Wally got a new video game, Artemis got an updated bow, Zatanna got an old spell book that Diana found on Themyscira, and Dick got a Batman plushie. Conner got Wolf a bone and Dick got Om Nom his favorite candy. The mentors had also gotten the kids Easter baskets and hid over three hundred eggs, with candy inside, around Mt. Justice.
"You will stick with your partner so they don't wonder too far. Help them find the eggs but don't tell them exactly where they are," Bruce said.
"Remember Bruce," Diana said and held up four bags.
"We also have to where bunny suits."
"The adults too or just the kids?" Barry asked.
"The adults too."
"Did Diana talk you into this?" Barry asked and Bruce sent a Bat Glare his way." I'll take that as a yes."
Diana handed out the bunny suits and everybody went to get dressed. Then they came back. The suits were tight like spandex and looked like their costumes except everybody had bunny ears, a cotton tail, the glove parts looked like mittens, and their shoes looked like rabbit feet.
"Now for pictures," Dinah said.
After pictures, they went off to find eggs. Some were just set out in the grass while others were a bit more of a challenge like being up on a low tree branch or in taller grasses or in holes. The kids were going through their candy with the TV turned on when the news came on of how a gang was robbing a bank in Happy Harbor.
"Let's go take care of it. Wolf, Om Nom, watch the kids, we'll be back in a few minutes," Bruce, now Batman, said.
"But aren't we gonna change first?" Green Arrow said.
"No time."
They left but the kids wanted to help.
"Let's go," Roy said after getting Wolf and Om Nom trapped in a net.
"Sowy Om Nom," Dick, now Robin in a bunny suit, said and they left to the last coordinates.
There was a LOT of robbers at the bank. Maybe fifty to sixty of them seeing as they were using part of the Easter parade to hide but they were going down easy seeing as they were too distracted by the Justice League in bunny suits. That was when the kids came and began to help.
"We told you to stay at the mountain," Superman said to Superboy as he punched another guy in the face.
"We didn't wanna miss out on the action," Superboy replied as he punched a guy in the gut.
"But what about Robin and Zatanna? They can't even fight," Green Arrow said.
"Well, they'we up tewe on the roof. Robin's trowing biwdawangs and Zatanna's doing magic spells," Red Arrow said, shooting a punching glove arrow at a guy.
"Still, you should not be out here," Aquaman said.
"And why is that my king?"
Wonder Woman punched down the last guy and said,
"Because the public will find out."
Police cars and TV vans pulled up. People began to crowd around to see the Justice League and the mysterious kids in bunny costumes. The mentors gathered up their partners before the news people and reporters could come and flew high enough in the sky so people wouldn't be able to tell where they were flying off to.
Back in the mountain…
"Why did you trap Wolf and Om Nom in a net and come out to find us when we clearly said stay here?" Bruce asked.
All the kids were lined up with the mentors behind them. Bruce was in front of them waiting for an answer.
"'Cause we wanted to help," Artemis said.
"We knew not to entew te fight," Dick said and looked Bruce straight in the eye with those cerulean blue orbs.
"If we couldn't have handled it, we would've stayed hewe," Roy said.
"Get on boawed ow get out of te way," Conner said.
"You're right. You've been on plenty of missions to know what to do, even if you're younger. We should have trusted you more. I guess we're all over protective. But we wanted you to stay behind so the villains wouldn't find out about you and use it as our weakness. Now they know and we have to put up a higher guard," Bruce said.
"We knew that but we know that you can pwotect us," Raquel said.
"We're not always going to be there though. The Watchtower has been infiltrated before and most of us were taken down," Diana said.
"Who saved you?" M'gann asked.
"Bruce and Barry did but that's a story for later, now how about 'Rise of the Guardians'?" Clark asked and the kids cheered, racing off to the living room.
A/N: Hey guys, sorry I took so long but I got sick with this stomach bug thing and the tests for me to go into high school are coming up and I really have to study. Also, I got The Sims 3 for Easter and I'm addicted. Whoops! I know they've been babies for a couple months now but I kinda want it to go over a longer period of time than just two weeks or something like that so when I finally run out of ideas I'll end the story. I love Rise of the Guardians ever since I saw the movie and now even more plot bunnies are attacking me so I'm writing ideas down. At least I'll have other stuff to write after these stories are finished.
