Chapter 2
This city… is so ridiculous.
The rich parade around while the poor die in alleys as their children watch. It’s disgusting.

Eros growled and smoothed out his hair. Sure he couldn’t change that aspect of the city, but he could certainly take a few of the bad guys making it worse on everyone out.
They all want to rule by fear, some more than others, but LoveBug’ll make them taste their own medicine.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8HdFu55Id
As he was pondering just how to do that, he looked at the clock.
Shoot, it’s about time for me to stream; at least, I can get a two for one, help the city and make some money.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ815cc5M68G
He stretched out his back earning a ‘pop’ as he stood up and turned off the TV. He went and got his gear and headed out.

“Hello Chat! Welcome to another LoveBug stream! This time we’ll be working the Diamond Heights! I know, I know, the rich part of town? Sounds like I’m getting soft. But crime can happen ANYWHERE!”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN4Lm6lzFF
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv6ufzXYPb
“Oh, Chat? Do you see what I see? One Condiment King wearing one hell of a baggy trench coat? Let’s see where he goes.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFBCKnE9Fc
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRvxcR5005
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRJ2ZPu2jy
He arrived and saw said man starting his long drawn out spiel. Most people were just walking around him and there wasn’t much rush to take him down…
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC1zLELFk4
LoveBug stared at the guy in disbelief.
This guy should really keep his day job…Better put a stop to it.

LoveBug snapped a selfie of himself and Mayo before the defeated man was placed in a squad car and taken away.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAue2JDoVL
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm39qnPlx6
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWynd8Fmgj
“Well folks, I know that this wasn’t the big fight that you all crave but I think we had a great day of patrolling! Don’t forget that my next stream is going to be on Friday this week! And let’s find someone to raid before I sign off! Get those LoveBug emotes ready!”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4sHDf0Bg5
He easily found someone to raid and chatted with them a bit before hopping offline. He was quite a bit away from his apartment and had some shopping to do before the day was over so he headed back towards the cheaper part of town. However, something quite flashy caught his eye before he removed his outfit.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBgG5D3m9O
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZWWgOySuf
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgBPlyU6SZ
He shrugged to himself before following the car. On one of its turns, LoveBug landed on the top before sliding into the car through the open window and into a seat next to the prince of crime.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmODniSYh6
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk98quBCXpx
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEm7fih6aG
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK47PWUa7p
He tried to shoot LoveBug but he grabbed his arm and smashed him through the car’s window causing Joker to skid against the pavement. LoveBug dug his claws into the henchman driving’s shoulder as he swerved the car.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvbpPnaoxF
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOEjINK54n
The man nodded and did as he was told. LoveBug nodded at him and exited the car, walking over to Joker who was just now getting off the ground.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V8b6XZq1k
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglDQRhjDoK
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkbvRfGMPh
“Am I supposed to know you?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe7zWLUJNk
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm6BBMnIyv
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINTK33w6cj
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRQ0P8lTmE
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysRrrIzptS
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqlFfe3Y2c
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacADFnAxLw
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW6ZYHXnrf
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf55HkWDV1E
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwXkJSk5jg
Joker began to softly laugh and placed his hands on either side of LoveBug’s helmet and began speaking in an almost drunk sounding fashion.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvg0E4tgV4
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50M0daLdqk
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKeiKClHrv
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Z69avEGn
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY87UnhsNnb
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58N2XqYiJz
Joker nodded before LoveBug took ahold of one of his back molars and ripped it out. LoveBug dropped him as he began to do a mix of laughter and pained wailing.
He shoved some cotton balls into the jokers mouth to hinder the bleeding as squad cars rolled up on scene.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A9YJxTsft
They insisted LoveBug come to the station too to “answer some questions.” He complied and went with them to the department; after all, he was just doing his job.

He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GTiYodZmF
“LoveBug. A word.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLobzHpPvSz
“Technically it’s a name.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKJoNqRT20
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5MUE8SE7O
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA68DYcvBsh
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6hYYyjN0N
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFfMj2Sm06
“I agree. I just wish you would back off. I’m doing my job. Joker has killed a lot of people and I’m pretty sure he’s only out here because he broke out of Arkham. Again.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdtjOIh3JD
He could feel the blood in his face. It was one thing to say he shouldn’t stream his crime fighting; it’s another to say he’s doing a poor job of protecting people.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sbdVlq6mC
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIDUDnT2ci
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtAjc0lcNK
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJURLSYouQA
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsGKOclRDS
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeeLESOfO5
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OOUhCzOPs
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09tFBLYlON
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMJo8f8NVY
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG4LhrZqts
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlV2Jf7Dvf
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB5nZVqggm
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1BySnwjwl
“Eh building my name? Also heard some stuff ‘bout some crime lord getting into trouble. I’m going to look into it on Friday. Should be mega fun for the stream.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4eMzdBa5c
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwZK1VCZxc
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fGLixNuQp
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h1zbwtb1D
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJOhZ2xF2o
“Because your old flame’s here?”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSppZpXZxv8
Jason’s went flush before he waved the younger man off.
“Sheesh… I forgot about your little trick of being able to notice a person's feelings for others.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhvDKKBOOh
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXGQiL3jhU
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX8kDOAey8
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm890LTLBvN
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDtssC84QF
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
