Today was the big day. All Eros’s recon had led him to this moment.
147Please respect copyright.PENANADYFovYqQn0
He sat perched on the side of one of the higher buildings in the arts district in Gotham keeping a watchful eye over the museum staff milling below.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAL5BnLkzMQY
They were about to have quite the show of rare jewels, crystals and various cultural artifacts from Tamaran brought to you by Wayne Enterprises.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAP1tY96V2xK
Eros mused to himself about the stupidity of have a gem exhibit where there was a gallery of villains, and without another hero in sight, or in range of his scanners.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtkBhw2vuMD
Of course for situations like this, he couldn’t have just a live stream going. Sure, his fans would never show a villain where to see his handy work; however, it’d be stupid of him to think they wouldn’t be tuning in with as much as his name’s been popping up in the news as of late.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgEHabp1yi7
He checked his watch, ten minutes until showtime. He began to set up his recording software, making sure his camera was currently turned off. He’d make sure to turn it on before anything good happened.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAL0cMamdMt0

147Please respect copyright.PENANAJVvqadw44i
He sat waiting after the crews had long gone and headed out for the night. It didn’t take long for tonight’s focus subject to show herself.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAiUMAVNkvHl
Her movements were smooth as she moved throughout the tops of the buildings. She chose a side window that the security cameras didn’t cover.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAXWDJr5Dsj0
A smirk lingered on Eros’ face. It’s a good thing he had an access point of his own.
He flew over to the rooftop access. It was unlocked, as promised; it had also been freshly oiled he noticed as the door opened without a noise.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAM9kQSqoBQT
Once in the museum proper, he turned on his recording software. It wasn’t long until he saw her again, effortlessly weaving through the security lasers.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAl2fzBowHDj
He leaned against the railing on the second floor taking in the sight before he jumped down behind her.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAd9PzJzEeoB
“The signs say not to touch.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3f8zWEp46
Catwoman let out a surprised gasp as the lights suddenly illuminated the building.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAEdqfbybhVV
LoveBug looked down at the red lights he had fallen in the middle of.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA1LAUL0KytA
“Oh no… Did I do that? My bad.” His voice dripped with sarcasm as she ran toward the nearest exit.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAJHEsMz2GYd
He pressed a button on his gauntlet as bars slid out of the wall blocking the exits of the room.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA6cM7LpAmUR
“What’s the rush? I was going to check out the gift shop later, want to join me?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAH8ttrwcpfW
She cut him off mid jape in a scream lunging at him.
147Please respect copyright.PENANADaIAPV7eDe
“You planned this didn’t you!?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAX9qFfGESI0
“Cats outta the bag now.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZnGZBZmnKp
He winced as her claws slashed into his skin on instinct he punched her in the jaw before grabbing her other arm digging his own claws into it.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAEh6VScDOse
She ripped away from him and something clinked against the floor as both of them dripped blood onto the floor.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAHg6H6GsdbC
“When’s Batman showing up?”
She smirked at him, daring him to react to it.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAV5kPpusu7Q
Eros let out a laugh.
“Oh sorry! I believe he’s out of town at the moment. Maybe you’ll see him from Arkham?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAiMi0zIR0Bn
Her face fell as he walked over to her.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA5FctYpfRse
“Don’t worry! I’m still here! And bonus, GCPD should be here any second now!”
147Please respect copyright.PENANACiltM09VGC
She didn’t fight as he wrapped her arm in gauze after tending her wound.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAC8IMTeQVcM
——————
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPDxtYZp0Pa
She muttered a thank you as GCPD officers escorted her back to Arkham, where she would Inevitably break out again.
147Please respect copyright.PENANArm1PIJAEWj
Love Bug noticed something small outta the corner of his eyes and picked the tooth up. With a grin, he pocketed it and tried to head out.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAO05OJehaN8
Of course, it took about an hour and a half to get everything settled and then he was allowed to leave.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfJxlCCAg7B
——————
147Please respect copyright.PENANANu2I7vuESL
Sunlight had begun to peek through the buildings of Gotham as he pulled on the baggy clothing he wore over his suit and crammed his helmet into his bag.
147Please respect copyright.PENANApozYTkQWpJ
Warm voices welcomed him as he sat down in a booth at a Pancake Palace. It was always slightly sticky but it added to the charm.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAP7V8AVZNOj
Besides the workers he was the only one in the building, too early (or late) for most of their patrons.
A friendly middle aged lady donning the uniform walked over to him smiling.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAXfjcFdlAlv
“We’ll if it ain’t Mr. Eros! Your usual, sir?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAxuZ4qeyTgB
“Gosh, you know me so well Matilda. How’re the kids? I see Frank’s working the kitchen this morning!”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA469BQ1kYpG
Frank gave a wave with his free hand, already in the process of making the food Eros was about to eat.
147Please respect copyright.PENANADNq6THZzQh
The food was greasy, salty, hot and loaded with butter; therefore, it was better than sex. As usual the two workers playfully pestered Eros on what he did for a living to have such weird hours.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAWaxcdVMzOZ
“Oh! Frank! This time I got it! Alright Eros, I beat you’re one of them body examiners down at the morgue.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA2wFAh2yG5s
He smiled and shrugged. “You caught me Ms. Matilda. That’s what I do.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAE8M0T99NU3
They both looked at him skeptically before laughing. Eros laughed a little too hard, he could feel his chest wound open.
He dug around in his bag pulling out a large bill and handed it to them.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA0nx0iBVK0H
“Sorry to eat and run but, I have to go. Keep the change.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA8UPAuNB2wS
Eros winced getting out of the booth even with Frank’s help. He knew that the older man had felt the wetness under his shirt and was thankful he didn’t say anything more than to go get some rest. Eros knew Jason had a place nearby so that’s where he headed.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAviLptWsFhM

147Please respect copyright.PENANAI8e4aoSRpU
Knocking on the door at 6:30 ish in the morning was the easy part, everything that followed? Less so.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA3nvxLNAc0q
Blood had began to seep into Eros’s jacket because of course the elevator was broken. He knew it looked bad but honestly he’d been through worse, like when he fought King Shark in Hawaii… However when Jason answered the door, the irritated half asleep stupor he was in quickly shifted to a face drained of color and eyes full of fear.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAxFlOyawdwu
He all but pulled Eros into the spare bedroom asking what happened while he got out a first aid kit.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAY7COPqEPeh
“I didn’t know you had one of those.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZpRMtZmDhK
“What? Eros! Of course I do! Apparently for idiots like you!”
147Please respect copyright.PENANALDGWFRxIlV
Eros chuckled then hissed through his teeth as Jason applied some antiseptic to it and started to sow him back up.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAsriMUtic9H
“Gods, Jason! This really fucking hurts!”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA8EAKLvCv1l
“Eros, would you please just let me work? You can get mad and yell at me all you want afterwards.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANArVgYyInLTk
Eros bit his lip trying not to cry out in pain anymore than needed as Jason continued his work.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAf4Y4sZ4rCU
He hated to admit it but the tears stinging at his eyes gave Jason a nice halo of light around his blond hair. It certainly didn’t help that Jason was basically on top of him in an attempt to get him to hold still.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAXFrb6NTT41
“Hey… Jason?” Eros’ voice quivered as he spoke but he tried to sure himself up while Jason just made a ‘hmm’ of acknowledgement.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAmpIp1gtvGC
“You want to get a drink, or ten after this?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAsDOqaz1xKR
Eros couldn’t bear to see Jason’s face as silence filled the room.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZyX1xZdEVp
“Eros? Are you asking me out on a date as I literally sew you up?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANALAzAUctHVe
“That’s not an answer, you know..”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAn22nNDh5D5
“How about we get you healthy first, alright?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA6Eay3Zhsuk
Eros let out an annoyed groan but didn’t object further as Jason finished bandaging him up.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7YjE1uAgj
“Ok. Now are you going to tell me who did that?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAE2Lq0sWsgh
“You can watch the footage when I put it up.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANALBf6FTTbmj
Jason laughed and ruffled the pink hair of the younger man before he paused and asked a question.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAHRS4zqkwvk
“Is this your natural hair color?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAbbSgbrvnhn
“Yeah. Is yours?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANADmxF29fZjE
“Pfft, yes. Smartass,” Jason stood up, stretching out his muscles before picking up the blood stained shirt off the floor, “Okay, I’m going to pre treat this then I’m going to go back to sleep now that you aren’t going to die on my doorstep. Feel free to stay as long as you need to Eros.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAyJpVFLKrh4
His smile was pretty damn intoxicating as he walked away. Eros couldn’t help but think how nice Jason looked with tousled hair, a bit of blood on his hands and… whoa! No. Nope! Not having these thoughts. It’s from the lack of blood.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZLRc8gyhkU
Eros closed his eyes, forcing himself to go to sleep, which of course, is the worst way to go to sleep.
147Please respect copyright.PENANANQ69zjnA6K
——————
147Please respect copyright.PENANAVrA3kf9GDr
He hated not being able to work out in the field. Of course, people absolutely loved the video he put out of him taking down catwoman; however, Eros still felt like it was a gigantic waste of time to just be sitting around, healing.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA5j3Xd2TJ1v
He had already canceled two of his live streams this week and instead had done some q&a and a charity event with the funds going to a local food bank in Gotham.
As usual, LoveBug was incredibly popular. But Eros was bored out of his mind. Luckily, he soon had something interesting happen.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7z26LGHecL
A text from Jason saying he was headed to the league to debate a villain's punishment. Obviously, Eros needed to be there to give his friend moral support.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAkrJoKnq6S2
So he grabbed the leather jacket that was 2 sizes too big for him and his gear(just in case) before heading for the high speed train that would take him to DC, and the League.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ8KouVHtj
——————
147Please respect copyright.PENANAtRSqkG5xqB
Heroes bustled to and fro the building while onlookers squealed and carried on.
Eros let out an irritated growl as he stood there.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAA6giCEmJWY
He already knew the bio lock on the doors wouldn’t let him in. After he made his exit, it made sense.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAeMRKeIUp6u
As he contemplated on how to break into the Justice League, a familiar voice brought him back to reality.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAVuMQobYanw
“Are you here to return my jacket, Eros?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANASWZHM2vRAl
He turned and saw the spitting image of Superman, albeit a bit younger, standing in front of him. He wore a new leather jacket over casual clothing and sunglasses and a baseball cap to hide his face.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA6hhakgWZdR
Eros smiled and shook his head.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIocGerRw7t
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about Conner; how was Hawaii?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA6RXNdkfBoe
“Hmm okay I guess. Would’ve been better with you there.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAUApyCKngbz
“Well Gotham needs me. I think I'm having a real positive impact there.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZDpuTCUSMw
Conner gave a half nod as if to say that was a true statement before changing the subject again.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAzoTRIZr6ZI
“Alright, all joking aside here, why are you here?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7csrT4aOx
“Jason’s talking to the head honchos about some jurisdiction issues with Batsy.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAuIgVzQt05I
“He would hate to hear you call him that.They’ll probably just side with him over Jason though.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAZp6kK9WBvm
Eros nodded. “Which is stupid. Some people are just evil, no amount of therapy can fix them.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANARz5E9jOoFV
Conner crossed his arm while a security guard came over.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA4cl9kLdmLV
“Excuse me Sirs, but we can’t have people loitering outside the hall.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAM7iC2e4ydg
Eros motioned to all the people simply standing around but the guard simply shrugged and it clicked for Eros.
147Please respect copyright.PENANARWUGCe5Qna
“Fine. Will it shut the League up if I buy something from their fucking over priced gift shop?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANApLZcOvhnSi
Conner piped in with a grin. “Actually you gotta take one of the tours to have access to the gift shop.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA3X5OxTxuoM
“You’re fucking kidding me.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAxQXJrgM5bL
Conner winked at him before addressing the security guard.
“Hey, let Red Tornado know that Eros here is taking the VIP tour… since I get a free one once a year for whatever reason… I’m going to head inside. So no loitering going on here.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOA0FdTWtPR
The man nodded happily that the two heroes didn’t cause too much trouble before heading off.
They walked over to the booth with Conner whispering into Eros’ ear.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvvGrhpqCgW
“You owe me. Also I want to see what you get at the gift shop, come find me afterwards. I’ll keep you in the loop.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA1LqIwp8j59
Eros playfully pushed at him muttering a laughing ‘yeah okay man’ as Conner got his pass for him and pointed at the entrance for the VIP tours.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAKYthCJSuUS
“Have fun Eros, and remember,” Conner stood up straight and began to mock Superman, “no cursing in front of the children.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAXULlkZRGvu
They both shared a laugh before Eros found his face being cupped by Conner’s hand.
147Please respect copyright.PENANATxvaK8gISz
“Eros? Can I… kiss you?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqlDDeCW3bh
He thought about telling a joke but what was the point? It wasn’t like the two of them were going to get back together. Instead of responding with words, Eros stood on the tips of his toes bringing his lips to Conners.
147Please respect copyright.PENANASAhHXSUoVX
After a moment, they pulled away. As usual, Conner’s face was a shade of red. He was so suave with the ladies but whenever it came to Eros, eh maybe it was the pheromones.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ7GA3wtQH
“Have fun on your tour.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAL5KQ8i2NGb
“Thanks for the kiss, Tiger.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANATkvlD8N0WB
This comment made Conners face go a few shades darker as Eros headed in for the tour to begin.
147Please respect copyright.PENANApFmNXpRtK0
——————
147Please respect copyright.PENANAOA3lFy6DNZ
This tour was the most boring thing ever. Eros was also pretty sure at this point Conner had booked him for the children tour given the fact that an overly excited intern was giving out stickers for active listening. Eros had no such stickers.
147Please respect copyright.PENANABlTZb47Pho
He did learn one thing from the tour, that they didn’t allow the use of cell phones on the tour and Eros quickly had his taken which was more than a bit annoying to be frank.
147Please respect copyright.PENANASzcabvb5Xz
At one point they were shown the inner hall where Eros saw Jason battling his case against Batman, it didn’t seem to be going well though it DID look like Diana was on his side. She always was the best.
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7cKTG7PFNe
Eros did his best to ask every question he could possibly think of to stay in that room as long as possible much to the disdain and surprise of the intern. He was so surprised that Eros even got a sticker!
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvWdPlL6klW
It was a sticker of Wonder Woman that said ‘You’re a Wonder-ful listener!’, it was better than the rest of them even though it was the least picked sticker.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAoCseeScl4k

147Please respect copyright.PENANAkdF4TgCXdv
The end of the tour signaled the opening of the gift shop (and the return of his phone).
147Please respect copyright.PENANAxPhRDLj9RM
This place was fucking massive. Two stories jammed packed full of overpriced super hero merch.
Athletic gear with matching water bottles decked out in Flash logos and colors stood next to a section filled with Super levels of Superman merch. It overflowed down the staircase down to the first floor and it had anything one could possibly want of the super hero.
There stood a Batman section as well featuring coffee from MoonDoe, dark roast of course, with expensive sunglasses and watches next to toy bat-a-rangs and utility belts for the kiddos.
The rest of the building was filled with miscellaneous heroes sharing about half of the remaining space with a clearance section and then the small section of Wonder Woman merchandise. Most of it was jewelry and clothing, a few dolls thrown in for good measure and an empty section, surely where the invisible jet toys were found.
147Please respect copyright.PENANATlbYFb1sMW
He wandered around the store looking at various junk before settling on a pair of cheap JL sunglasses that ended up costing him thirty bucks and change…
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQ91z45N4jj
He got a text just as he saw Jason storm outta the building, steam practically coming from his ears.
147Please respect copyright.PENANANMN3BEtdty
Connor: Nothing. Ended in a draw. So he’s doing it himself. Scarecrow better look out.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAK4pVeJrGQG
Eros looked up but Jason was nowhere to be seen among the crowds of people. How that man walked so quickly was beyond him honestly.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAkut67NwVjY
He had complete faith that Jason could kill Scarecrow, would he is the real question… Either way, he would need a friend or maybe a few to help him get away with it.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAheess9xkRO
Eros boarded the train back to Gotham trying to call Jason but he wouldn’t pick up. It was no use leaving a voicemail since he hadn’t set one up, or so the phone claimed. Should he send him a text? Something nonchalant would be better. The league knows we’re friends and both in Gotham..
147Please respect copyright.PENANAsF81L08aSx
Eros: Hey, I’m all healed up from that cat scratch. How about that drink tonight?
147Please respect copyright.PENANApVKqRvPpN7
No reply. That bastard’s just going to leave me hanging I see. That’s fine. Just means I’m switching to plan B.

147Please respect copyright.PENANAhISy995KZN
It didn’t take long for Scarecrow to escape from Arkham, thanks to his youngest son, Zennaire Crane.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAokksygC1HD
Eros loaded in the data he had collected on Crane operations while he had been in Gotham and cross referenced it with the intel from the League. It gave him a pretty easy guess of where he was likely to be working out of. However, it still left him with two possible spots which was less than ideal for his search.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAiUXF651OLy
After much consideration and eating some food, Eros decided on the spot closer to Arkham. Crane’s face was known all through Gotham and every police officer and their brother in the city is looking for him so he’d need a place to hide, fast.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAevCARBV5KX
Eros donned his gear and headed over to that section of town. He landed on a nearby rooftop just in time to see Jason go in, alone. While in the process of rolling his eyes at the stupidity of that soap opera in the making, he spied Red Hood walking back to his parked bike. That seems like a fun distraction in the meantime.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAk3Dj9QBoQV
LoveBug landed beside him with a soft ‘flff’ of dust being blown around before having a gun leveled at him.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAH6thOwPFxC
“Well hello to you too.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANALEX3boBpOZ
“What do you want Bug? Here to stop us?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAG24CKvGvy2
“Not at all. Personally, someone should’ve put Crane down sooner, save the city a lot of trouble.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvgQJTbfbz1
He lowered his weapon and leaned on the wall.
147Please respect copyright.PENANArZT3Lh5A0T
“So, why are you here then?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAKSQHMEtuhd
“Let’s be real, I’m here to help Jason do what he needs to. And I’m the best supplied to keep Batman busy in the meantime when it does happen.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPicT4xqA0W
“You make it sound like he isn’t in there right now to kill him.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAzfPJJLiQrT
“Oh he is, but Uh…. How do I say this? The two of them have a very strong bond with each other. Jason isn’t ready to pull that trigger yet.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA9OT78qV1NA
LoveBug shrugged and pulled out a responder.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqidAo0zMO9
“Look, when something actually does happen, call me. It should be pretty soon, I’ll be around the next few days. Bye now.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAsbHvAks099
He handed Red Hood the gadget and after the other man took it, he flew off. It wasn’t going to happen tonight. It also wasn’t likely that Red Hood was going to keep his little robotic buddy with him, but he was more counting on that little fact.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAJPlnuTARXD

147Please respect copyright.PENANAv3wOVkk30Q
The light woke him up; A notification from Buggie. He tapped a key and his helm showed him a video of Jason leaving the building, just a few moments ago.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAEUgAZJ6R1O
After putting his helmet on his bedside, he curled up in his covers and went back to sleep.

The day was pleasant: weather was clear, temperature spectacular; perfect day for vigilantism. It was time to seriously help out a friend.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAjXLVMY1Ltn
He grabbed his gear and suited up before leaving. As he left the hallway, a kid stared at him with wide eyes.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAA1yC288Gsv
“Heya kid. Stay safe out there!”
147Please respect copyright.PENANArNljcOsqcF
The kid continued to stare at him so LoveBug just shot some finger guns at him and went on his way.

He found himself at the GCPD, tapping on the window of Commissioner Gordon until he finally showed up before meeting him on the roof.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAEWuYVOKuRG
“‘Ello Commissioner.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAuhKYId1IbR
“LoveBug, this is a surprise. To uhh what do we owe it?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAAiKZMcQCxX
“I have some sensitive information to give to Batman but I can’t reach him. Do me a favor and give him this? It tells him where to meet me.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANALYyG3D56mj
He held out a slip of paper for the older man to take from him. Gordon did with a suspicious look.
147Please respect copyright.PENANANkuHPHv93s
“Is it about Scarecrow?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAgG5qJwI6oM
He nodded before waving and flying off, heading towards the meetup spot.
147Please respect copyright.PENANApu5No5BQVy
——————
147Please respect copyright.PENANAjzeLh6J1ja
Eros sat in the back alley, waiting for Batman to show up, all the way across the city from where Jason was with Scarecrow.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvZuD6xzQij
Howdo I even know Gordon told Bats to show up?
147Please respect copyright.PENANAcS3b5vMqas
He fiddled with his claws absentmindedly before a voice cut out from the darkness.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAWofcFwheP0
“I heard you had information on Scarecrow.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANArmN1mHD3At
He stood up as Batman stepped into light.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAsbTgqIZK6I
“Yeah. Figured you’d want to know.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAwjAQOq19b7
“Why didn’t you already go knock some teeth out?” There was a bite to Batman’s tone.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQqCPoJIIaN
LoveBug shrugged. “I figured this was a you matter. I saw what happened at the League.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANACw21P5V2qw
The eyes under the cowl narrowed looking at LoveBug.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAD2WDIzQdii
“If that was the case, you could’ve given this information to the commissioner.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAhirpF9rGAH
Eros stepped towards Batman half heartedly pointing at him. “Except I couldn’t. Scarecrow has a contact in GCPD; which we still haven’t identified by the way. Couldn’t let this info get back to the maniac.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAsdjgDdK2YB
The other man let out a sigh as his shoulders relaxed ever so slightly. “Well, let’s not waste anymore time. What’s the information?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANA2zg39d5oGx
LoveBug hit a gem on his outfit which popped out a small USB drive. He held it out to the other hero.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAMhPGTFuYiH
“Here. It’s my info on Scarecrow. Included is where I tracked his hideout to be and what I think he might be planning.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAJbqtrrouYR
Batman took it from him; however, Eros' eyes widened as he noticed the small droplets of blood on his gauntlets.
147Please respect copyright.PENANAIsPLjeCP5S
“Uhhh Batman, is your hand alright?”

He paused and looked at it. “Your gauntlet pierced me a bit. Don’t worry about it. Thank you for the information.”

He began to walk off when Eros called out to him.

“Wait! Stop! It’s really not safe for you to go out under the effects of my gauntlets.”

The other man stopped as Eros sucked in air.
Fuuuuuccck. No, no this is fine. I can deal with this. Gives Jason more time.

“Well, if you don’t want me to leave, what do you want me to do?”

He was standing right in front of Eros, which honestly was throwing him off. He’d never seen Batman this… affectionate before. Of course, it was probably because of Eros’ powers. He had to be very careful here.

“I want you to stay here…. Until you feel more like yourself.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAz0q2WQkQWk
Eros looked away from him, unable to shake a strange feeling.
147Please respect copyright.PENANADc3dTtxmpx
“I feel fine, Eros.”

LoveBug whipped around, hand around Batman’s throat.

“Don’t call me that!” He hissed from underneath his helm.

“I understand. There is a bit of a power imbalance between us isn’t there?”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAxj0vFyuZ6c
Batman’s cool demeanor really was pissing off Eros. Why did this have to happen?

While Eros contemplated knocking some sense into the older hero, who continued to speak, he was taken aback as he removed his cowl.

“I’m Bruce…” “STOP! I don’t want to hear anymore! Pull your cowl back on before someone sees!”
147Please respect copyright.PENANAlRkg7w3bfs
Bruce did as he was told with a frown on his face while Eros continued to talk.

“Look, I am going to pretend I never saw that, and you are never going to do that again. Head to wherever your hideout is and look over the info I gave you.”
147Please respect copyright.PENANACliJuccsYb
Eros looked and saw a bat-a-rang sticking out of a pouch and took it.

“See? We’re even now. Okay, meeting over. Go write a doomsday plan for me now. Bye.”
