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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4pcgx3Mhl
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztIMNI9OlE
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!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H2bhFQbkE
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN3PAXFT2d
“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.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIkZadfZxG
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytYNqcjTbX
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ0rVqrq49
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…
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi61pPRNVB
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRh6rQsug9
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M2ghkz2R8
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HxFdXLLPq
“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!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6mVfZqEKA
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBwuBZ0e7L
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZpGcx4VKP
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U1wMBeh4m
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozc7Onl81n
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Kfkv3XMg
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJXNdwyWAV
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVgu3UQq3M
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcblBPgnvbF
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUz0fF2Bjl
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP3ouW1Ngq
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYaEJkxXLk
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlapvvhimKi
“Am I supposed to know you?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51fn4uuJvl
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXUmdvsrmY
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1yOTRLcO7
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk8E13fj8B
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98xnYTriWj
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm6fnoX6kN
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerdkq8XwMV
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgv9IbJsFf
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQQ0qV2gzR
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HOzKOle8D
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknbRVgNi7P
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFWg0p7AV9
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tWf9beXP5
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pL0OrQwNz
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVzH5ESCd6
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLo6icx17H
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis7mPzRN0s
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.

238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhThykPpch
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq1qb8tjrM
“LoveBug. A word.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGdoVc6cJw
“Technically it’s a name.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZVPA9UvjL
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJIIupvL9A
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLyHw7Pptf
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrgG6AbdyJ
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ27fyDg1BU
“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.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aAjUzw4L5
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN9M7WMfJY
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvOo2nuT7E
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PZM65mohV
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKLZg7Qxti
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEhG0YNPH9
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfmJ8uIP0u
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz8GuVca7H
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtAGm4QjAP
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37gcCNRgPg
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgpiVtuXNk
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVL1DdCQkD
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YzUeXzImC
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjhTDK3iRS
“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.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwurLsGcJyX
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U7F0RaEnK
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTKCOKlsPo
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTLuLyzYNe
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy1EHmQ1BX
“Because your old flame’s here?”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinAY6dJRDN
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.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvioFHJZNJ
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5x6mJJanX
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF2Kkpy9f4
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBc0nCVb9M
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXJqZe7DaU
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
