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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlLSViFhfS
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwzyNadbyZ
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!”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD7ryZQk7G
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QxSEBFwfM
“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.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJceTEw2Yr
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekF89LqK7m
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9UIwn2HaR
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…
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4rM4fLLKN
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqgrG2cbye
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWrnQ3yzMj
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuSkeeZ8t3
“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!”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5DQXvLHVk
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMHyv96vXf
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3SPnmy5RV
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEM2Gf83cS
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0REChYUtL
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaajLOoWT8u
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzNgDs1VZl
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBKsdS6Hhf
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJPMm2yQST
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsEa2qbdOB
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzKoXh2tsE
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlcXo0Uklu
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7E8Luu4mq
“Am I supposed to know you?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYg682tPg9
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvyTn4d49u
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsiA4Z84gb
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4YozXFNqe
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vgR84hTV1
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodsleopGET
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgGP8J0fgV
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuibgOzGat
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpERdSJpJ0j
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAbxjZl5Li
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEGg9u4WSd
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9UPsv3Hgg
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJNPe7B7XL
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb4DBOP9JI
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQXM1bkoQ2
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3N4UAKoWr
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6fzo5LTmd
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IwnMvWKVH
“LoveBug. A word.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqauUViHcw
“Technically it’s a name.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3gW5BciHO
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU2ZlA6991
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu0b7aciQC
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ccjq0IUtB
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3tvyE646c
“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.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJibJgAEtHM
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.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡero2tXLTvE
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRSRzuzR5k
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wpomNvMsi
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7NpJTckUA
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijMHARSu7M
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CTE0U5cx0
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo1BFaw7E6
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYfDmkt0Ly
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPgwthWPB8
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERPqyW2duL
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFRKhZ9CIN
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSytEiL17s3
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWjKaHvecu
“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.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡithkZOPm7L
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mk5Er56l8
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMsmB1H7Dk
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhTTzyFTAO
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKVEMZmLLL
“Because your old flame’s here?”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh63qDwELvU
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.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxZKkW35o
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVdSgJ2iai
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRouTo0CN0A
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UBCwGygcG
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQJsTdO4DH
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
