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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGixjU4ELi
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiM5XXr7qn
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!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmE4EVdmdF
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvtw6gzdnQ
“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.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO9kSgen8n
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3frHotlBL
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEkZG6LEfj
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…
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vj3rn5U4i
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwj71zm7g6
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncTuKfv3LO
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqvvtvwMb4
“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!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtNCblQHrf
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkr2ZY9RC8
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWJRc5Eb3H
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj5oX9UVGM
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyC9N8QUH
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFF7pSWc7A
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2s83lP1Hj
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmzerORzWv
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c5tmi3xyT
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk1ULvY7CM
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4K7FgSa3q
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjiHmDG1DY
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVMXpoz926
“Am I supposed to know you?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwo11cEBbb
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWHZJQgB3g
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOb9iFK0WQ
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7H2xSwF1Q
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNUHKShdeR
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShqVSWNfHG
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkUJdbraU6
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyIuSWiXZe
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G2IgTdsr4
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLLiJSLPWO
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYXkfWkY3t
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjn52OsI2Q
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9JhkaHYag
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LLvdOUm8E
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKTQ5VvtMI
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBMxqBBCPZ
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGQtflL1WH
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.

234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAxWW3pq5W
He wasn’t there long before Batman popped over.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQREihjeVrC
“LoveBug. A word.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBmgyGLCWk
“Technically it’s a name.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSghFToVmCj
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkZjLkWM53
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbGPxmiIOn
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxpqeKm7ZG
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpgAa2Zate
“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.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL8thFHrl1
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.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiJB2So3dq
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ458KzmgGPU
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0E3DmhcWs
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDZcxXL3ye
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyDF7VLuwt
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mSoB0FE00
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaVkXnnsdo
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcJCi5SMnc
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPn0gC5ozU
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuyACc1Ltc
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxgJr5VKbt
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKUc3jzOOz
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiZxwXI72x
“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.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdog4TpMTNR
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNOl9DKU4x
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYW1Xdgfml
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLACsNeyFwF
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAufckD0MFr
“Because your old flame’s here?”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf6Jc7WIhM
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.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YLS80O4D0
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ndNLQTn9
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09PFeF05CH
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cIMDadAdI
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbiOcsweeu
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
