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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtpA0muBcu
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXWDoZsvQi
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!”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDvlbLSV8N
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFsqQmX2j4
“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.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsKFVQqZZw
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLyWYIE1CW
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcnRD8ecCW
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…
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsbcU1Ytnj
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI50diGotEJ
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kZZL119CG
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaou8Eu9CRZ
“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!”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRYobnwX8U
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFCJHkMtBX
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u4CjODCBs
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC5ssxlde7
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky2cgL6rbf
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcJkUbmZTg
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7spHBR1BAE
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BeUDAoVZY
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E2W0gbDr1
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS5WjA7s1q
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP85Wjjx8I
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUbaxW9ZYv
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebg6tvgoDn
“Am I supposed to know you?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj71X8mXIa0
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu8rfTHQbJ
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUMsxQytfL
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HzEbwKIVf
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW65vlRnrm
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4yjrDIagp
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiqkfhK24V
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yxmnHWl84
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCdTGylL2d
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYLIbN7V6p
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPOXTc4nCA
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm8FO7rTHh
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaQMPU2UZd
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3gWu1CH7O
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcogxc6EQgW
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VUHB0nCtz
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh9BtARu8h
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKKHpny7DD
“LoveBug. A word.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mS1OtRPS
“Technically it’s a name.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofXpgGAy54
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwqHpl28K3
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hrd07Z0rN
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum1hgoTI9K
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIg91QgMq2
“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.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRFrEwurP2
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.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpzWnDaxPB
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMr98qctmj
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ998poWwgV8
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmNda2lmpe
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFmYCxwos1
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWYujPYQfn
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJhMu81Dtb
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs5d355ZvB
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92690b90pc
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs8G2fmHFQ
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD8CK6qNsP
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8u44b4ISd
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOSwloV7mf
“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.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvboWq9UqzQ
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY6TTgLL3c
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOKvVXa2ZZ
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dOxnP9FQj
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBkGTjsa9T
“Because your old flame’s here?”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDZjBCjmkm
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.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNlC3TABXz
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJcktjdI9F
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPA7OOHuhu
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XYHfe1W4E
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8Mb2JbJ3g
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
