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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwQN3ib9uT
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRQqFdmX9o
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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34M0HFu36p
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RpEQedn5H
“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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbUdEsJnjd
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkYbEZYvRM
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjAxvCJSWu
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…
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZnG3EpFq7
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T1hDcs3h7
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw5AB6ZccI
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nyg1kGswy
“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!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUh0Kv001e
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENYlpTV58J
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1EAzf7xSY
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom5gFIvNxJ
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVENAYd0GNb
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuZCJfcfyP
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorATrTdaJo
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E3lGmaJcc
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOjGG0wRmK
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcJd295vj2
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwYsnrtVR6
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ1zUR05oD
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdJRq8EhgQ
“Am I supposed to know you?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgGDVmxefM
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzsDSkwZk0
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0jJPxs0Bo
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyik886nKnY
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN9qtyGgIo
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiCnOi6JG6
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEbI8bEF7Y
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoQViNiqtl
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwFV0x2ZD6
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTx8g5iRx2
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMUHrHGr4Q
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMrTIjgNa4
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDbHvLBB6c
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5HJoKZvyI
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCyiF8vCwR
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFE4icvWui
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qrXZW2zRB
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84HBodfWEo
“LoveBug. A word.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKgGwCvgjQ
“Technically it’s a name.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbqlOW3f4n
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWe4Pd78RR
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqVryk8G7x
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TmTSbqcFm
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAIGqlWGmv
“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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQElU1Ujq4V
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.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRriTYC49gb
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt19TFGW9Ij
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2idfE84sFI
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDBP6RjpgR
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLs2ELMZvv
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMv0X64lIt
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Ms4NwqyC
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHRT6bVLUo
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVDUR0ChDD
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaGf4xeTLZ
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv78gwKjLe
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUe7LErolL
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXwQ5aOwOb
“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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o0VuiZ43l
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKKiKPvadH
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMyJoCZWlS
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkMQaAvLQ0
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLcwdGzapQ
“Because your old flame’s here?”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjv0yEBpH3
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.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWpyfHsszz
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTFJuY9Pge
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Jowj1kNu
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey3vt7JXGF
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoDBbtwFzq
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
