The Justice League had faced many forms of trouble and problems. 

They've faced criminals, rogues, aliens, heartless villains, magic users and even alternate universe. As well as stalkers. 

The Justice league have dealt with death worrying injuries and inhuman plagues. 

But what had the Justice League might frighten was when Batman had announced that the watchtower would be holding it's first ever Easter Egg Hunt. 

Apparently, Batman, currently Dick Grayson, has decided that the original members of the Justice League deserved to be spoiled with chocolate treats and easter goodness. Other members of the Justice League would be having a much larger easter egg hunt elsewhere but the main members would be having a private one in the watchtower. 

Not many knew that Dick stood as Batman. A few had been told or figured it out after some time. But a handful still wasn't completely in the know over the new Batman before them. 

With Batman being only human and facing a lot of madness in Gotham, they'd all assume he'd get hurt, lose weight or have bodily changes due to attacks. Batman's voice changing would make sense if an injury or chemical attack had left lasting damaged. Body weight loss could come when injured enough to be on bed rest for weeks or months on end in secret.

Memory loss was also another known guess for the Dark Knight to be facing. A human head can only take so many hits over so many years before finally showing signs of needing a break. 

And hearing over the league's easter egg hunt had left the original members terrified that Batman had finally snapped or planned to finally break his one rule and hide their bodies afterwards. 

Superman and Oliver only calmed down once they reminded themselves over Batman currently being Dick Grayson. A good man who cared for others deeply and was always wanting to look after them. As well as make sure everyone felt needed and wanted in life. 

Both assumed that Dick had wanted to try making a few changes to spoil the older heroes and give them all a chance to enjoy the little things in life. 

Once they remembered it was Dick under the cowl, they happily agreed to the easter hunt without any hesitation. 

Flash merely wanted to accept Batman's good deed. 

He knew Batman wasn't as heartless or scary as some might still see him as. Batman's grown a lot in human nature and good will over the years. And he wanted to support his long term friend in trying to do something nice for his comrades. 

Barry was a little bit worried over the aftermath of the egg hunt, a speeder can eat a LOT of easter eggs, big or small. He was worried over snacking on all his easter goodies within minutes of the hunt being over with. 

Martian Manhunter and Aquaman had both stayed silent over the matter. Still suspicious and assuming that the easter hunt was a type of testing or training for them all. One that the pair already knew they'd fail in by Batman's eyes. 

Diana had agreed to the easter egg hunt after asking plenty of questions. Trying to decide if this easter egg hunt would be a test or if Batman had expected something in return. Once it was clear that Batman simply wanted to bring a bit of hopping joy to the day, and that the Bat-family would set it all up for the whole of the justice leagues two events. 

It was a won deal and Diana had agreed to the easter hunt. 

But than the day came and everyone hated themselves for not trusting their gut over expecting something to happen during the hunt. 

Clark, Oliver, Diana, Barry, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman had all been given baskets that were painted to match with their hero outfit or colours. Making it clear that their baskets was meant for the hero and linking them all together so no one could cheat or steal each others eggs. 

Batman never mentioned how many eggs were hidden up but everyone had to at least return with one egg painted in their hero colours or as their hero costumes for them all to gain a huge easter treat at the end of the hunt. An extra goody as Batman called it. 

Robin had stood beside him, the new Robin, glaring towards them all and only seeming well behaved beside Batman. More behaved than the others had seen him act when they had last met him. 

Red Hood and Black Bat had took to standing outside of the main briefing room doors, guarding them so no one would sneak a peek at their easter extra goodie.

Red Robin, Spoiler, Signal, Batwomen, Batwing and Oracle was keeping an eye and running the hunt happening for the rest of the justice league on an private Wayne beach. Rumours over Nightwing still being in an deep undercover mission had been whispered to all the justice league once people mentioned not hearing or spotting the vigilante for a couple of months already. 

Once Batman had walked and checked that the six heroes were all by the zeta tubes and held their own given baskets. He began the easter egg hunt with Robin swiping down his katana as the starting sign. 

Clark should have known that Dick was just as dangerous as Bruce, even more so. The guy was the angry robin. The original boy wounder who gave Batman, BATMAN, No chance in stopping him from going out at night to hunt down criminals. A child who had lectured Joker over being a fake clown and had all the rogues hating him because he was a child who had fought them and won. 

Of course Dick would have a bit of casually and sneaky fun with the easter egg hunt. He should have assumed he would the moment he mentioned a private easter hunt for the original league members. It was a clear silent hint from the start. 

Superman was meant to be a symbol of hope and Clark had long since lost his hope in gaining a single egg by the end of the hunt. 

His first plan was to check anywhere he couldn't see. Assuming Dick would know he'd use his powers to try and find his eggs quicker. So, searching in places where lead stood was the places he first searched. 

And he did in fact find a couple of boxed made out of lead. 

Only to open them to eggs painted as an exact look alike to kryptonite that had Clark clumsily flying backwards into the wall behind. Only to realize he wasn't growing weak and it was a fake. 

And he flinched and reacted like he'd been burned when he found three more eggs painted as kryptonite. 

But finally, after more time than he'd ever allow the others to learn about, Clark found his superman painted egg in an upside down cowboy hat within his own dorm room. 

Clark was too victorious over finding his egg to wonder where the hat had came from, it wasn't one of his own and neither were the pair of cowboy boots left by his door. 

Aquaman wasn't going to talk about what his tapped eggs were painted as. 

And he wouldn't admit that he was the one to stab holes into three of the chairs within one of the many lounges within the watchtower. 

Nor will he be accepting fault over throwing up in one of the plant plots in one of the dorms hallway. 

He didn't want to talk about any of his fake eggs and his reactions to them, EVER.

He merely grabbed the egg painted as himself that he found in an ice cold bath and walked towards the briefing room without an word or even daring to complaint. He feared Batman would show the video footage from the cameras if he grumbled over the hunt. 

Martian Manhunter was reminded over why Batman should be fear and that he wasn't ever going to accidently eat the man's cereal after a tough and long missions EVER AGAIN. 

He was too scared to even think over the designs on his fake eggs.

But he had to respect Batman for being skilled enough to hide them in mini fire traps. Having him willingly slip a hand in the gaps and grab the fake eggs.

Martian Manhunter had realized that he may have been as bad as the stupid people who carry on pulling on a push door instead of pushing it open once pulling had failed. Because Martian Manhunter had kept falling for the same trap for five tries in a row. 

But he was happy to find his one real egg painted as a mini version of himself in a nice cool vent in the ceiling. He was very honoured over the design on his egg and had planned to keep it in his room forever if allowed. 

Barry was actually having a really good and fun time. 

He found a few eggs that weren't his own and left them be. 

Rubbing his stomach whenever it growled at the fake eggs but he carried enough snacks to help him carry on with the hunt. 

He noticed the others all seemed stressed whenever he passed them and decided that maybe they were all too competitive over such an fun easter hunt. 

Flash did collect a few Green Lantern, Hal's design, eggs that he came across. Good memories filling his mind as he thought over his deceased friend, he still dearly missed him. 

Barry knew it was a very emotional and caring touch of Batman to use deigns of the original Green Lantern, to keep him apart of their original team even when he couldn't physically be here with them now. 

And Barry knew the Flash egg that he had found in the kitchen had sat perfectly fitting in the centre of his basket, surrounded by many copies of his best friend. 

He left towards the briefing room with a skip in his run. 

The only time that Barry own eyes had grown wet was when he had came upon an Kidflash painted egg, Wally's kidflash suit. Barry had scooped it up, holding it close and let himself cry. He knew Nightwing must have meddled with the easter hunt just so he'd be able to bring all his family home for easter. 

Oliver wasn't thrilled over the arrows that kept shooting towards him whenever he grabbed an fake egg. 

All his fake eggs were designed to look as his wife and he wasn't sure if this was a wife joke or that everyone knew that Dinah had him wrapped around her finger completely. His wife was a very strong, powerful and terrifying person. 

But still, Oliver wasn't laughing at the arrows shooting at him every time he found an egg matching to his wife's hero get up. 

He also knew that he had to bribe Batman to never allow Dinah to see the video footage during this hunt after he dropped his egg wife three out of the five times of finding them. 

Even he knew how bad that'd look and how long he'd be trapped in the dog house if she ever learnt about that. 

It's why he might have broke down and cried tears of joy, thanking any and all gods as he picked up his Green Arrow designed egg and happily tucked it into his basket. 

Staying a sobbing mess a couple minutes afterwards before finally heading back towards the briefing room. 

Diana was reminded over why Jason Todd had been her favourite Robin. 

She was going to have Dick as her least Robin for years to come after this easter egg hunt finally comes to an end. 

She hasn't stopped finding Wonder girl eggs, Donna hero get up designed ones. 

Diana knew she and Donna wasn't always seeing eye to eye, that the original wonder girl had never seen her as a mentor, not really. That Donna had always wanted the chance to a free punch at least once in her life, and not one from Wonder Women being brained washed by some evil villain either. 

Donna death had hurt Diana, the teen had died without them ever finding a truce or peace among each other. 

Something the original boy wonder, one half of the wonder twins that he once stood as with Donna, would never forgive her over. 

Donna never found a way to hear Donna, to see who she wanted to be instead of only seeing where she had failed in her teachings of Themyscira.

Diana had failed Donner and never gave her a real chance like she'd given to everyone else in her life.

It's why being hunted by easter egg Donna seemed like the perfect revenge, the wonder twins would both be crackling over this memory for years. That Donna would roll in her grave, cheering her boy wonder on for messing with Diana without fear over her revenge afterwards. 

But why Diana did understand that all, it didn't stop her from clutching the wonder women egg she'd finally came across and hurry to place it in her basket. Racing back towards the briefing room before anymore donna eggs appear from the shadows. 

She really did wish her old friend, Bruce, had never met Death and stayed in his grasps. If Bruce was still here, he'd be able to at least keep Dick mostly behaved during these events and stopped him from acting on any idea that suddenly popped in his head. 

"Well done, everyone! You've all did an amazing job" Red Hood praised the group, leaning carelessly beside the briefing door once the last member had finally arrived. His arms crossed over his chest and his ankles were crossed over the other too. 

"Did anyone else almost die during this easter hunt?" Oliver worriedly asked, glancing around to his hero comrades and wondering if he was just targeted somehow. 

"It was indeed a hunt. We were not the hunters as first thought to be" Diana admitted with an agreeing nod, accepting that the hunt was truly a hunt. 

"I do not wish to speak over the hunt" Aquaman snapped back, still trembling a little. 

"Was I on a different easter egg hung to you guys? I had so much fun. You did an awesome job with the egg designs, Batman" Barry muttered back with an small confused frown as he looked to his friends. He had a great time during the easter hunt and he had no clue why everyone else seemed like they just returned from war with only their lives. 

"Thank you. You're all able to keep the eggs forever long you desire to have them for" Batman simply replied to Barry without any emotions attacked to his voice or expression. 

"Nice. Thanks. The twins can finally meet their uncle Hal. Or well, their new uncle egg Hal" Barry cheered back with a bright and happy smile, staring down at his Green Lantern eggs in his basket again. 

"Was all that.. necessary?" Clark simply questioned in defeat as he stared straight at Batman, knowing Dick didn't have to play such pranks on them. 

"The point was to find eggs, you found eggs. We did no wrong here" Black Bat replied for her brother without any hint of not being an robot. 

"And we had found our personalized egg. We were promised an goody if we did. Friends, lets not grow side track from the reason we are here over things we can no longer change" Martian Manhunter spoke up with an hand of peace held up as he looked to all his friends and knowing that the couldn't change the past and should focus on the positive of the future. 

"Robin, would you do the honours to open the doors please" Batman asked, not ordered, the boy beside him, a hidden sweet smile on his lips aimed at his foster son. 

"Tsk" Robin tasked back but nodded anyways. 

The heroes all watched as Robin shoved the double doors open, stepping into the room and moving to stand in the corner behind one half of the doors. Watching as the other heroes all stepped in and stared towards the table that were separated into sections and those sections filled with easter treats. 

All different sizes and shapes and flavours of easter goodness was laid out and awaiting to be scooped up and taken home with them all. Chocolate eggs, chocolate bunnies, marshmallows treats and other sweets all wrapped in the heroes personalized colours and chosen with that person in mind only. 

"Happy Easter, I hope we get to see many more in the future. Not get hopping to your goodies" Batman spoke from the doorway, giving his shooing nod for them all to get moving already. 

Clark, Oliver, Diana, Barry, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman had wasted no more time in racing over to their sections of treats. Looking them over with wide eyes and drool leaking from their mouths. Barry even giving out a delighted laugh as he read the note, all the easter treats laid before him were all made for speeders in mind, meaning they'd be as filling or sickly as any other easter treat would be for anyone else. 

As well as a egg bag of easter eggs left on the chair for the twins to enjoy, speeder chocolate and sweets. Meaning Barry won't be the only one who'd be able to actual enjoy easter long term this easter. 

Clark even found some of his easter chocolate goodness to be made from Krypton recipes. The ingredients mismatched as close to the listed ones as possible. 

Martian Manhunter and Aquaman finding the same style of easter treats designed and made to fit their treats buds and culture much better as well. Giving them all goodies they could actual enjoy like anyone else would on easter. 

Oliver chuckling as he found a bag on his chair, filled with all of his wife's favourite chocolates in easter shapes. An another fake egg of his wife tucked inside, clearly a sign for him to get on his wife's good side again. 

Diana smiling as she found a small and single easter treat mixed in with the rest of her pile, wrapped in Donna's wonder girl outfit. Inside was Donna's favourite chocolates, shaped as the wonder women symbol. Wonder women and wonder girl never did gain a chance to celebrate man's easter holiday. They had promised to swap their favourite chocolate on year, start their own new tradition for easter. But it never did get to happen, not until now.

"Robin, would you mind checking my chair for my phone. I hid it there earlier when the others arrived a little early" Batman asked in a softer tone, a sheepish smile on his lips as he kept his back to the rest of the heroes at the table. 

"You truly are a fool, Batman. You are lucky to have such a capable Robin at your side" Robin scoffed back, not as harshly as he would have months ago, and walked towards the head chair on the opposite end of the room. 

Not seeing as Batman pulled out two easter patterned paper bags from somewhere under his cape. Heading towards Both Red Hood and Black Bat who both held up a mini egg designed in their own outfits. Both smugly grinning under their masks and helmets, were pleasantly surprised over coming across them when helping to set up. 

Batman silently passing on their smaller bags of goodies, knowing both had much better easter goodies at the manor waiting for them. But Dick had wanted to thank all his siblings for their help today, all the other bats and birds would be coming across their own eggs at the other hunt and finding paper bags with their names on by the zeta tubes when they start to leave. 

Even Alfred and all civilians standing comrades to Batman, even a few ex rogues, would come across an egg painted with them on. As well a personalized easter treat left on their current bed or office afterwards.

Robin had froze as he stared down at the easter basket with the design of Robin, HIS robin over it all. He'd stared at the Robin and Batman designed easter goodies filling the basket, all vegan friendly, and all chosen and made with him in mind. 

Batman soon appeared over Robin's shoulder, taking in every detail over the moment currently happening. 

"You did find your egg, did you not? Rules are rules. And we must follow them unless we grow to be like those we stop at night" Batman spoke as he stared down at his Robin's pouch, knowing he had found the Robin designed egg earlier in the day and hid it in his pouch.

He'd seen the excitement in the boy's body language when he had found it and the rare smile pulled on the edges of his lips. How he quickly pocketed the egg to hide it away and protect it from any harm from the other heroes during their own hunt. 

"This is acceptable. Rules are rules, after all" Robin agreed, fingers curling around the basket's handle and he soon held it much closer to his chest needed. Clinging to the basket while trying to not make it over obvious, clearly happy with his first easter as an Wayne. 

Extra:

Dick let a heavy sigh escape his lips.

Today had been long and a lot of hard work. 

He had plenty of help from his siblings and fellow bat friends. 

But his nerves had him more alerted than any mission or patrols he's ever been on. 

He wanted Damian to learn the joys of Easter. 

To be a child for once in his life and allow the childish delight to overtake his need of perfection. 

And it had worked, thanks to everyone's help and joint effect. 

Dick had felt bad for torturing some of the original Justice League members but he knew they were trained enough to handle the difficult hunt. 

He had to make the easter egg hunt fun and exciting for Damian's sake. 

If it was overly friendly and easy, Damian would never agree to give Easter a chance again. 

So, making it a bit difficult and eventful was the only other plan that Dick could use. 

And it did indeed work.

Damian loved the easter egg hunt, accepting to have an easter egg hunt at the manor come next year. 

One where all their fellow bats and birds have already promised to join and be apart off, all liking the idea of a family hunt at the manor together. 

Dick knew that the day had been perfect the moment that Damian had hugged him, hugged him instead of allowing Dick to give him physical affection instead for five seconds. 

He had even said his thanks to the others still at the manor before heading to bed. 

A tiny but real smile on his lips as he still held his personalized basket close, having already thought over the perfect place to sit it in his room apparently. 

This Easter had been his favourite. 

He felt bad for not having Bruce, to think over a best day without his father figure. 

But the smiles on all the bats and birds faces, the bright spark of life and pure happiness in their eyes. 

They'd never had that with Bruce, NOT ALL of them together at once. 

Dick had made it happen. 

Had gotten Damian to be a child for the day too. 

This Easter had been his best and most cherished favourite in all his life. 

His good mood was what he blamed on how relax he was that he didn't notice the object that he found dropped into his favourite mug. 

Staring down at the Nightwing painted egg dropped inside. 

Picking it up and turning it round before feeling his breath hitched as Batman and Robin, HIS batman with HIS Robin, painted on the back. 

He blamed his allergies to Damian's animals for the tears that left his eyes as he wrapped his whole hand around the egg, holding it close to his chest. 

Truly the best Easter of his life.
