I do not own Young Justice. Enjoy!

Interlude: Bunnies of Disappointment.

"Team. Report to the mission room."

Within a couple of minutes, the team was assembled in the mission room. Jason fiddled with his belt, but stopped when he felt his father's eyes upon him. Kid Flash teetered back and forth, while Artemis and Red Arrow stood with their arms crossed. The rest of the team stood, or floated in Miss Martian's case, impassive.

"We believe we have found a lead on Richard Grayson's location. Le Mars, France."

"The Ice Cream Capital?" Wally asked, creasing his eyebrow. "But I was there last week and nothing weird was going down."

"You might have missed it. At first glance, it seems to be an unlikely place to hide him, but the recent evidence in Savannah suggests that he may no longer be on this continent, and until all the ships he may have possibly left on are accounted for, be open to any and all possibilities. The area in which he is likely being kept is mostly hidden and heavily guarded. Your mission is to infiltrate, rescue Richard, and get out. If you can, gather evidence to incriminate those in charge, but the priority is Richard. Evidence from their movements and the initial capture show that the enemy is highly organized and powerful. Do not get caught."

~Time Skip. La la la la la~

"M'gann, link us up." There was the feeling of a magical string, connecting them all. "Is everyone online?" A chorus of yeses from everyone except Robin. "Robin?" More silence. "Miss Martian did you hook up Robin Junior?"

"Oh. Hello Megan!" She connected Jason. "Sorry, RJ!"

"Wait, how long has the link been active?"

"Not long. We will split into three groups of three to search the buildings. Artemis, Rocket, and Zatanna; Kid Flash, Superboy, and Miss Martian; Red Arrow, Robin, and I will be the teams. According to the blueprints, they are most likely keeping Richard in one of these three warehouses, the center of which holds the control center and shipping orders. Kid Flash, Superboy, and Miss Martian, take the warehouse on the right. Rocket, Artemis, and Zatanna, the one on the left. We will take the center warehouse and information gather. Go."

They moved carefully through the scene, somehow avoiding all the guards. They all entered the warehouses at the same time and started investigating the wares. Jason found the central terminal and started downloading and searching through the shipping logs and other data. After half an hour, all groups had reached the conclusion of their search.

"There's nothing here!" Artemis noted. "Only fish."

"We've got bunnies." Superboy said.

"No, Superboy, you can't free the bunnies." Miss Martian told her companion. "They're on their ways to good homes."

"Sure, they are." Kid Flash commented.

"Leave the bunnies alone, Superboy. Search harder. Scan for signs of life. Besides that of the bunnies and fish."

"Uh, Aqualad? Is this warehouse entirely filled with tulips? Because that's all this data says." Jason questioned.

"What is wrong with these people? Is this an April Fool's Day Prank or something? There's nothing here, but evidence that people buy bunnies, fish, and flowers." Roy's comment was met with silence.

"Oh."

"It's January." Superboy deadpanned.

"Well, we can still try to find any evidence. Maybe there is a connection, however loose." The exhaustion and disappointment was clear in Roy's voice. Between looking for Original Roy and Dick, he'd had no time or inclination to take care of himself and relax, beyond basic needs that were enforced by Dinah and Ollie.

"Or they could be leading us on a wild goose chase and be nowhere near here!" Artemis exclaimed.

"We must consider that the warehouse is covering up evidence. Richard and the other kidnapped kids may still be nearby. Kid Flash, run around the outskirts of the town and see if anyone is trying to leave the city. Any car running this late is fair game, but focus on trucks and buses. Robin, Junior, pull up security feed for the past few days. Get license plates, personnel, suspicious packages, anything relevant. When you're finished, get footage from the town. Rocket, protect Robin, Junior while he works.

"The rest of us will continue the search in the town. Miss Martian, search for suspicious activity from the air, camo mode. Superboy and Zatanna search in a spiral pattern spanning out from here. Artemis and Red Arrow, go to the outskirts of town and work your way in. I will continue to search the warehouses and question any personnel I come across. Check in by coms every hour on the hour. Meet back at the Bioship at sunrise. Go."

Happy April Fool's Day!

I'm sorry about the cliffhanger-see ending to the last chapter and for the fact I don't have a real chapter to upload. It will go up…. As soon as it's written!

April Fool's Day is called Poisson d'Avril in France, which basically translates to fish of April. I was originally going to have all of them burst into a warehouse full of bunnies with weapons blazing, but then my bff reminded me about the fish aspect. Tulips because when I split them up I needed something in the third warehouse and Tulip season is starting soon.

Oops. Accidentally left Kid Flash out of the teams in the original version. I knew I had nine characters!
