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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzoR7U7x2B
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUOGFkB23x
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!”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmX4XHBVTY
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeBOj83Yxz
“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.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlYEdzjqXX
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfeDMr7RR3
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKGJN40Wi8
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…
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaqBCrIlRk
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2G5gayP8B
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB1JdIVBSO
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY842H748h
“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!”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgUAdzGDHO
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5PaAUgmDW
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcxUnajvf9
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd97ozv1IN3
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTI3W4DSLq
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKXO7FJYeY
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYtLSmMOkH
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3h5RBwK08
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30ETylrI9R
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHdEHxr3iw
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGItsAawuUz
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIowCToPaD
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmuyHAokZS
“Am I supposed to know you?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyDbJj92zA
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97plBT2V2P
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu58DtiRWtQ
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphaO5v3vLR
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmpyeIj0tB
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDu13Lompw
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95oZHGmq32
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAV3Kn250V
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd59e5YgX6g
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX09GAdJEb4
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oqTnKbul1
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkRbqa7VU9
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnexgms2kOd
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPLc7wqk3Z
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW7BuDUBRd
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQiJZkNd4V
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWZgaZ2e6J
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.

203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsKZjWmj9L
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGaMNRRPej
“LoveBug. A word.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaPHLyIe3y
“Technically it’s a name.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILqKh803QC
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHiZThkG5v
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIaAJCh45H
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o76AahOp5
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kqjpi96Kz
“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.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIZCCS9brw
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cyPQ4ea5U
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqCIV9PvD5
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx4BSoP62d
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDngcmN1M0e
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs2qS0B5o4
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK5UfeFGnq
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sqtFFkdwH
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIiyojmjgT
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanXnxounFZ
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXykA27AT11
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6PpgCoRdE
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGecjCGmoJ
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQCmtInUWJ
“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.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNcaIyfspm
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFrizsw5ET
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y8LjNRB7C
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd6Ip1VxHx
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nmqMfR7am
“Because your old flame’s here?”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V0b9nHl4M
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.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HOSOYjSoI
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zSufGQ9Yk
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTghd88hUiK
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEAJVqMhPd
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm2vp89BfV
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
