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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNkKHprxVD
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfAlDXQDCX
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!”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNqMbr5YT6
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmICzlzpLf
“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.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJAc0DBw7Z
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJUEbArhGS
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7CfAoKyyb
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…
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuABNjsOmhQ
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3JZ46OUdy
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ax1fWj71
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE4nQAzUGP
“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!”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYUkFijyO6
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ6ecdc0Qr
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7KjpCq6xv
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazpEV9LLBC
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3sKBSfKy0
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiA0Wfpv5x
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FyJZpRKbi
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNH10VeeRT
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RLfDSzWDN
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriXKIjAB3e
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB8MAGhYoc
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf9QXfk5zL
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYoY3YPpPd
“Am I supposed to know you?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznjswWqpy0
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIXkSru4uM
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY1b73AvDU
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZBpVmydxz
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MIE68vuGp
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIexU9q6pa
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSFyTPKXT4
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1ilNzddjJ
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgRUEuT26w
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBlo7p5ex5
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHgUuxhUBK
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYHJGzywe9
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd0QD56IVK
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5qzimcJGM
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMEMh8950h
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwRkckIiG9
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGnzYFkCrU
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.

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJqfEcVcZu
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZI24LaFFS
“LoveBug. A word.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWR8bwWqG5
“Technically it’s a name.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdeojITFhB
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKt6XUfUFf
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPddpAaeYlv
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfqpwcIqg4
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dL1lo7425
“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.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UgmAxXeWr
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i5K233msT
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYesRJe1TSM
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNdhGSefJe
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiosuZYDmxd
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHK8Lz8Wio
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOnMvNBnEw
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqe1pdJ4ou
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4WaDw6rqN
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfOvVtX8PZ
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpB8n9zjDl
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU3LJcRK6m
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpdA7LVsZo
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgQThFGh3y
“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.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwUWFHna4L
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlLPAy7Rny
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYpVOlUFrN
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkRiOToqIc
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrsVIhfI6k
“Because your old flame’s here?”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEIzaTW3oV
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.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRDdqfGJgE
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCBf7iHdkC
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Wsxcwbiu8
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V4RubZWYG
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKFCtAwaxn
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
