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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqgY6Gvz0y
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3EPQU8HWQ
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!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDPx2BOXcm
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuFsEndLdK
“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.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezbM6J9ACl
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTINvhTIlXb
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N4x5BwBNr
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…
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UbbyZojuW
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMds4j0T1L3
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjJczg4ogI
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g8edLr5RF
“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!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYU51Aea76
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPywKxxdT9
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO4DBc7FBv
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vzgSVBLXl
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqd88VZN1Q
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNTrsZOKeb
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8cgHhmwlq
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOw0s8TWfP
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNGgd0qk5n
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wQnA93UTZ
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1pEKv8bAf
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzwe585Sje
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGExKVsjGz
“Am I supposed to know you?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMac0iLa7E
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvNKnezaNF
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwBUxHMmCu
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejnyFld5Q9
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjIEzZQ2QO
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjInWKkbiA
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jsvAFgaFX
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnjVhBC4JE
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CWzsVO1gr
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QT7VFcs4E
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR5fvgZdbt
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO20cwlCk1
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIpzVAlmGG
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVEPWj9avN
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ1NjnLb9Q
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmIqvN4fHZ
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmZaqZ6lx7
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Q6n4yipf
“LoveBug. A word.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOVafiXnS6
“Technically it’s a name.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lxzLU80cp
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlWMZ0ow7c
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTAwchNhLr
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHdfJbHrvT
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW0e0XxzvF
“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.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6D49chuQu
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.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KJ625ijHc
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Q9x4KA4i
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ivKPkfq5s
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCTA4s6lCv
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk1q8xvEf9
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4GKyvgqiL
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCETbwmmipK
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e31jI1koK
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o0NWkNKHp
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfERsnmozW
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm5zWpz5oH
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zxSgC8DrQ
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFQCdgO5ZD
“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.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKD5eEGlug
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iotJ9cleT
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfT2q2iDdx
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj8ajXhUUa
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX3Cm0TH7x
“Because your old flame’s here?”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FUoavUFa0
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.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKDwzWmr5v
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLGHc36Atj
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4eXLRYA9t
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FTHrY16lJ
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qh5SNGZQw
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
