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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk178RMmy3
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc16tdT6rgi
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!”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bCzazFmfw
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxwDqw8Ax9
“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.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqNtFizfhP
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmTKHFg52c
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbA6lKZmOP
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…
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLNsuViZDk
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLmCwT7DCP
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0LR2uwVQh
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqYzflaU9K
“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!”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT7WLNvkSF
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITUIl14fXm
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX3qv8wiJu
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mbvfGAQxh
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J5saIjNdX
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4XdP8pAcC
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCjasAPC6K
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QeDcPUJC7
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG88bUld1Ek
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVntl2EAmFr
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFRWTNWo8j
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTIggZqGuj
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bzNWXk7Ag
“Am I supposed to know you?”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanTX7RdN7M
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1UKx6zfUK
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiOtdD2hQa
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflZoB3JgAH
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt8V2DOL9E
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVNWmagRWv
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUSNTPeeii
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOmlioNZW8
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAA73bXxJM
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1VshSP43e
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAxAUS9rCS
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbZl3t9aW3
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsxWWOQpTh
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKW9fTE3Nk
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz0aylRUWZ
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMqJ6rDReK
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfw2EPcb6J
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.

243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm3IO7ungc
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFO1ehw2wv
“LoveBug. A word.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9im8jhpsRd
“Technically it’s a name.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamiTMwTlEn
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DSD41Erw6
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VL1wXLZXB
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur2NpztI1i
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNWLMuoyds
“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.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiqSLnxUca
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdun8742BF
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZloLyyK9v5
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdfWGaZgxt
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKdMTmhAbl
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3MrnMutCB
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKWHygfUdg
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tgj9OUPVN
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPxnyfOFIE
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykUhttpbyv
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNIuwmsZcj
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3uQC2ZKQP
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYKFouCd6m
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFprG9TP1iU
“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.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep3fx7POWA
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYUxw8siTm
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV2FX0xqiS
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmkGrSvHQO
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmynp5thUV
“Because your old flame’s here?”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfiC1lA1XX
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.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR8Gusj7J1
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeZyQiMQqz
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrwqrx6Lp3
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkEokVYDN3
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIEVChNeoj
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
