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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBvOYjaPp2
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnRCkNbwnd
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!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBixv042wCq
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD9UIQ2axo
“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.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS9UxX4ejh
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccehWyRE3t
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kttjnD3pL
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…
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8KkcVZgDj
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF6eOSJO9z
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCbSrHRLBX
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamCkhvU3Ov
“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!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71zIDKpRrr
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxwBHp7E0y
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zhtB5srqt
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyQ84aAnIp
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTghu80pMdL
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddv8FXiNwI
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn8IRrDsrS
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHnC9W0cJM
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9VcBB1uds
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos9Sfesiik
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwieZSCrwzd
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMftmtzdbIk
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nq4rdJ2iy
“Am I supposed to know you?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGBAh3jowm
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpwR1tgQWP
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67pv2VJAHA
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivGtk8jJkh
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe21BXCb1J
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82vmzTN7j7
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHbGcEgK8u
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMAd7xEhQP
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTjIgFAbsD
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwKot5ajVk
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlunvrNmPz
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nnG6Ub0d9
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDT3E7PF2z
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjSGvOkPWB
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZIVRCKaW1
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI2UNJ6sQr
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNzy9GSBxo
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.

251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrPwNygUMP
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxXsLqV1av
“LoveBug. A word.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz0jLoGVnj
“Technically it’s a name.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnowSzrz9Rg
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ884vrZHx63
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5dJH3Ioi0
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgiw6dHtKL
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CJB3cx5NZ
“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.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWtP6iaiJk
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfiQ09O0He
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJDZoQt4wI
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ayEDeVd0X
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhHWuSs58G
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KqGzBuD8B
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobm2o2zXLo
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN76dcLxld8
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2GFYTaME7
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaYoinLADa
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjCzzNGmRQ
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUAfjh8zW2
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ8MzpdgAi
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwBrdsgwUW
“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.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkdpZatQSe
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRApUbhZPiF
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFapBSq30pb
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tSX6d7Q3Y
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHRgcULTGU
“Because your old flame’s here?”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBawXCOLJLB
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.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGxjmXq1nU
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZQovZ8mQX
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NcRuB10g6
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAgYJCPrAT
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPgda1A8fC
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
