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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp41dvlBug1
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIZ7iLqSYz
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!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrpIszBPKK
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ0yKDXluL
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyOGdRzZN2
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NAYurwD9Q
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6N2RmWgVp
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…
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6qzRrCabs
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hsGhDk9S9
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5THoFEcIv
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeVcPpE3n1
“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!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvgKILN37C
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6YlvITxqH
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ7B13uzHv
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzuIHYJOsE
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFQbHZfvvZ
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqIdkHLl0t
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD8npso7x4
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EJqa8KJHo
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOuOOyhRpL
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MSTTMKpyM
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZJ4EGf77V
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa0YmoD7or
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc79Rx5vIP
“Am I supposed to know you?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsEQQkWDbV
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1FSJ8uy4o
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuCZ4R8U8L
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3prYSqMrco
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7eLXy0R10
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnJcFn6k6p
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKlf2knLhB
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws1QPRO6OB
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cR7H8tXZA
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQRbGlG73i
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaJdvTvnla
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOscAtJJcl
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12kW1LZ960
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE8fUHhUfS
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBq8ldJrrC
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcrmbAmIeG
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsqMJEuukm
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dMvIDkKSt
“LoveBug. A word.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwT66ANsTt
“Technically it’s a name.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6MICtT36b
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl0QZPsOoz
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtidbwRByOI
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPd0ugvGoz
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz34Ie2PMB
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXI6hz122q
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.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlUAu7POAE
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL2pkhQltu
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFb5BR37ux
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0T1iCP60J
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK7XNhrxj4
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMkGTymNuk
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuXgGcgqsr
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF90YYgM17
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmXsLwUAUw
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrQR67shtG
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TghDvBtqi
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB8a75A5Wu
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rhbmgaot3
“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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP63RrfT0Ao
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlSU5IEUgF
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GiZg5ijd7
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPnSob1cXI
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyctOl3U7TH
“Because your old flame’s here?”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCBecYeVCw
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.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1lpDjJKb3
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa7gMFPvif
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuousGAt98
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAz5T9N74l
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1DDCMqeT6
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
