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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JASrI6muZ
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqN1vWPApl
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!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAG9PTEzSz
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7RR9OyrxB
“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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ476uYlXbYU
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pUYBozecF
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6aicIVuzm
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…
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzIfWt1xAW
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj80nSkMvO
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYZKFwJwdS
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVHKkdNdCl
“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!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKWqtqx6ve
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLrYTNBM6Z
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiUlkZ8p09
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZG2JpwQTH
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ7oeoCve7
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJSLSDwChL
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckHczTvJsH
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4SHilrKsu
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhm19BBeXd
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR08dfKV38I
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8W8tT5eyx
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6mldUrDrl
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjvjUTVR7K
“Am I supposed to know you?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N48oFN1vS
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROy1VZWeNT
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qlNIbLbCO
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NkhIZvebV
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zE4HzBsEX
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4bhOdj2us
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Si5YsByQO
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly9YWrKDGD
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxTT0M6xYu
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy1GEWMd2a
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVx50mmZHG
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSNFQZMMhc
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNiGjkaN1F
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsixF36n3xK
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpTknFSSuA
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZDjlXeh9Y
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByWWJ13ZGC
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.

235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iGl2jCOWm
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC08dIinflx
“LoveBug. A word.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjSBhqNVPe
“Technically it’s a name.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lmjLsCSOH
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2CWkiSWFT
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJDgl5W3qx
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG4tyn9SyH
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiyQtx9WWt
“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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVo0ryX6eT
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.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PqTDPbfJe
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMPt3TcKOX
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxFfKuxwkc
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMyIAr3psL
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL5Td5sXUm
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnksp319f6b
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu0DFlIhRk
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1oMGgwPUH
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ0FBxeFmo
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5u9bWu1dS
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXmOYtniQc
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8ML9yKH59
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFAOiQTnBE
“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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNnYjxVqIn
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ8YeADJED
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJKwv8LnK9
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDBLpT2WaE
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLIyfG20vZ
“Because your old flame’s here?”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp30Mqa4Pfa
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.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6v7vHlZe2
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej9pyLXTYK
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSZ7Ru0KMZ
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2G99xtVjP
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
235Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVOeza93dx
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
