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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv7en7SeCl
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDF6EcS1v6
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!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt59ElPvha
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXRl2jfIfa
“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.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgub6pZnCG
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4oYKWju7c
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWcWyxgnwY
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…
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09uP20cc7F
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJnXJqEOLs
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPrvULxWTd
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwSeosMulu
“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!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzJjmAOpKM
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaOKex3K9A
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj9pCaewqk
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOahgQBBssp
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec7SpfdNUF
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TBVryrtob
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPGKSKNNcu
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmwVOPDU5N
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDTXed1Tog
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bf2jTkaX3
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgiBPK37PL
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8wmJiQQxz
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDTurqUXRr
“Am I supposed to know you?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR59rlA24B
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf2uhSiDzj
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuPr0DbG3w
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlHmlJ92J
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpdYW3l8CU
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTPZNKXwe7
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUJr0ud8RB
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR8hke5aVO
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V51xG4ZTI
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZGeBuwKd
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eQweUrWCr
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CC2lDNQYr
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxegclbBeIC
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ2bBpX0DD
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xborvmodE
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU4gKueieK
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4mXjNoxS9
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.

196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBfu9fgdxb
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbUCWItPuV
“LoveBug. A word.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4eLqj7fB8
“Technically it’s a name.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva2RmcYSzO
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mDHv07ZtS
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatlAKa3hW4
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT84UF7LufJ
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWxK4QRTtN
“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.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zTGSfMDWH
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.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsjelJdY1U
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOZEgDuaS0
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1AzTjildy
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHqBr6LZMP
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkKoHLuV50
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ttBHDejSV
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdU0DW1mHt
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFyqt7dUVV
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY34sRxIGJU
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKLvHwaL1L
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hG5Make21
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA7k9N4hd3
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkjxVKQN0I
“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.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E1NFoJCUC
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZA0466gw4
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eaFTiVNWL
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO3jx0UvHy
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9VZlZCw7l
“Because your old flame’s here?”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5LVN4AsyE
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.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhKICa8vQU
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUw5ER1ssz
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhBKATMpf3
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztAIn7VgQs
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZk4LWOebA
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
