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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3rLjz7jXY
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFRO335wC1
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!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToS1KkmyAQ
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav84NJTGsW
“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.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakOWcwbXJ6
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uzFZzaHe1
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrZLVQAdn8
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…
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ04sUWMIsk
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBl4JEcygz
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4wDabNh1X
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNG9muW6eJ
“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!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKneSrf2vuM
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LiSjCXTdJ
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DplOByaS3
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ9BLTtrkU
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN1FtUyG93
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJZhJFm8Ui
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPLnBptz55
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCLoyCm8j0
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGzUwhM8af
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaKBuW0m2k
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0laVuODq7F
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT9vEpoqqJ
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE1S36Hx0W
“Am I supposed to know you?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC5wdGiVzf
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JJSWXaO3p
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb8sS7aN56
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9wVFtEZLl
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBIPwglhoU
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLshtVtyUE
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFj9FwpmHz
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv7xyBgxQs
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHOaZL991o
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphWhEIEXRa
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZa7FxfUyI
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3LbpD2OkM
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAwKqsIzk2
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFNRAHpHiY
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwGVWXRPT4
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCAEk0MJjn
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k8QtB9HRJ
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.

220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLlQjNm2QD
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8BVZJlIi5
“LoveBug. A word.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEVkVeFLkc
“Technically it’s a name.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WyAEyHGzl
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uSNxe0xuV
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzFoOpoIKw
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQBZB2uu2s
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCCQuQJHGg
“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.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SL3tBnq9H
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgDpKWyEd1
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFlYLNvZCh
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfXsPeu7UV
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5PU3v7aFG
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9fz48xgfV
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1hQ8O8YWB
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnBK74iRYT
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq5nuY9PZG
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxs7sHcib4
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YlozST1xs
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13vKm6whRC
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcJYM6DKqY
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGs70vNVeV
“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.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDglnTcSlt
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA52OM1KfAe
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYDv2PywOh
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7noqW549JU
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclFa7Ki8Wg
“Because your old flame’s here?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrFQzwJN32
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.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu239I4nFls
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIy4ejidI2
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfjeGBbcJI
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlVmMzaxZ7
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Z4WA2osu
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
