Chapter 2
This city… is so ridiculous.
The rich parade around while the poor die in alleys as their children watch. It’s disgusting.
242Please respect copyright.PENANAL0a7pfDOHt
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.

242Please respect copyright.PENANACL7VU660S7
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.

242Please respect copyright.PENANAPwmjfAomn2
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!”
