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.
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.

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.

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!”
