Chapter 2
This city… is so ridiculous.
The rich parade around while the poor die in alleys as their children watch. It’s disgusting.
133Please respect copyright.PENANArFK8IVG7Lw
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.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAA0WaDJejFH
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.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAsz7S850NRY
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!”
133Please respect copyright.PENANA9ipp7oezbG
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAdPIYIaBuuS
“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.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANA28MJA0uXFO
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAOqJeJhbzsW
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANA0TRvsCX8n9
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…
133Please respect copyright.PENANALhqVwFN9vO
LoveBug stared at the guy in disbelief.
This guy should really keep his day job…Better put a stop to it.

133Please respect copyright.PENANAxCawWagLYw
LoveBug snapped a selfie of himself and Mayo before the defeated man was placed in a squad car and taken away.
133Please respect copyright.PENANACWXDManPDt
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAJeEdzmQNHg
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA1xOkMd0C3n
“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!”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAVfh4ZdMJ3U
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.
133Please respect copyright.PENANArZPOo3nDff
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAhVlwAaZ4Uv
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAyl6Z4QgMyF
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.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAo7fnxOHhst
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
133Please respect copyright.PENANA3sUuylv4lt
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAP4qc6nLuHX
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAmFVwPPMYxA
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.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAgkzQRkgbBx
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAijhMuOsXqE
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.
133Please respect copyright.PENANABGpOUA22oq
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAQfDxviNg69
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAH66wiN4YUd
“Am I supposed to know you?”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAgLJbOr9Ypv
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAgXAj9XihjN
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAqAnPTjNlU4
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA4fvk7FyEwY
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANABmKygQKGj6
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
133Please respect copyright.PENANATi6kUPJlq8
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAn3vE9fqynL
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA9dxAH44G9C
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA8k9KYMzP06
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANA9QISQWae4X
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.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAu8SgmtxOBJ
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANABvZvrJCOGs
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAiFnGNfHFHP
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAwIssv6YwrY
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAp6ed95PC67
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAXDvytPpoDj
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.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAgYLi6GMHDk
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.

133Please respect copyright.PENANAskH7CncTvL
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAKE8jdDSltF
“LoveBug. A word.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANANcOQdvVU3q
“Technically it’s a name.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAiW7JAM4oqV
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAMFI9cEGygP
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAXKwzypEVMh
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAVB47MWoy1I
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAl5V38qPo1V
“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.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAbqbzPgenvT
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.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAGZrVhdaoxU
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
133Please respect copyright.PENANACqKUek7HnW
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAGglQvbYynq
133Please respect copyright.PENANAZp9iVxuduG
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAewCOR2SrOR
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
133Please respect copyright.PENANADpEM1AQVSg
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAuajN568wsF
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAqCshElzAqI
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANA2d4YFiBvH4
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAYe1EoNbTPe
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAbxnyS8Hxz8
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAC8xpMNRF5z
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAFr2wIwmNLC
“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.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAjHux0Lylgu
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAPyJpsNsNMK
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAf9kX8hvQQe
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAIAWH34VqXF
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
133Please respect copyright.PENANA8Yfc1cDH9e
“Because your old flame’s here?”
133Please respect copyright.PENANA17cbQKdp6d
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.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1AakORbpi
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAGJjKNlOTxC
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
133Please respect copyright.PENANAWjxEhuwxqz
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
133Please respect copyright.PENANAJXXbXQGYLk
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
133Please respect copyright.PENANACH6c9lPF1m
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
