Chapter 2
This city… is so ridiculous.
The rich parade around while the poor die in alleys as their children watch. It’s disgusting.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAYxp03TfV7K
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAGZiYZgY1hr
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAqNYgT7wQna
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!”
244Please respect copyright.PENANATRvu98dbCM
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAjZi2yomxD9
“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.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAfjugm5tSn3
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAOYoXNdQREV
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAmbVMB5m2hQ
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…
244Please respect copyright.PENANAASn4y0mMPC
LoveBug stared at the guy in disbelief.
This guy should really keep his day job…Better put a stop to it.

244Please respect copyright.PENANAEZf9nTfGgN
LoveBug snapped a selfie of himself and Mayo before the defeated man was placed in a squad car and taken away.
244Please respect copyright.PENANA5VuQHLkCr9
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAeWWOaIBgqH
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAgGQygaZFXD
“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!”
244Please respect copyright.PENANApNJfdL9mRM
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ2gjmJfNd
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
244Please respect copyright.PENANABNcG2FMp3S
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAmb8No79T8X
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAD84BC8DPVr
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAcI7OGTIaJf
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
244Please respect copyright.PENANA9vOxvoLnsM
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAbK2Axa1Utg
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAc71cF9GC82
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
244Please respect copyright.PENANA7xPA5zTEoi
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANALvkOqUzQVF
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAONko2jtZv6
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANA5w59mT1Pwd
“Am I supposed to know you?”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAG64yA2Uy2m
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
244Please respect copyright.PENANA66UqmdGvMl
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAvXh7e1XC0J
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
244Please respect copyright.PENANADGfXtlJedM
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAHQDs20VCC8
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAFAW1TLqyT2
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAvkbvozUqKI
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAe1X4LmSuIo
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
244Please respect copyright.PENANALlxnoxTqVl
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAXUEq4wUtRz
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAguJeK8TeOA
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANArQWSp7d0ES
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAtAM39osTFC
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAZb9nRypdiM
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
244Please respect copyright.PENANArhVlPk9MVB
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAIo2imkoeb6
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAEN9qDpf5zV
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.

244Please respect copyright.PENANAtBdhFYp01h
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAY4DIKvlvgE
“LoveBug. A word.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAxysdD52438
“Technically it’s a name.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAU6qzYNcXTY
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAGA46wfTWT9
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAunCCXr62jx
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANA1wOf00HZ7j
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAhWenI2y9tF
“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.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAXowGLn8f7o
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANADN88xW0lKK
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAv8sFjV9oEx
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
244Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vgxvz6bxu
244Please respect copyright.PENANAwMoHU8nrrf
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAfNCdmkD2X8
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAVhTUVeEnFA
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAoMxXPOp8q6
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
244Please respect copyright.PENANANC0BV2BQfQ
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAL5SLIZ94FA
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANA9mtgfdewHW
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAmAikB72ARN
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
244Please respect copyright.PENANA2JaF2x1Rhp
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAzmZ1eUL9ms
“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.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANACWjIYrS7wZ
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAopxkuRyLgT
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAKjuRJguhPL
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAgnmZqzDULq
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
244Please respect copyright.PENANA0mthrnyBkP
“Because your old flame’s here?”
244Please respect copyright.PENANAK2HU8RDGS5
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.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANA5KhyOiOp6O
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANA4jZu54Lviv
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAm6m6oHDzRh
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
244Please respect copyright.PENANA4fKrFD4AOX
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
244Please respect copyright.PENANADaz0z5HCwj
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
