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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IdEZojirV
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvBvV7RsxS
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!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9FawlA8O6
He laughed at his chat while he scanned the area with his HUD highlighting anything, including facial scans. One gave him a pop up.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS0C0Xmo2G
“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.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkiTODkGo1
He watched and followed the ‘villain’ into the local mall.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWLh31Cnwa
“Chat, don’t be alarmed but I think he’s about to cheese someone, and well, food allergies are serious. Better go tell him.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRgtw9cPDm
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…
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwSLTmaHNx
LoveBug stared at the guy in disbelief.
This guy should really keep his day job…Better put a stop to it.

200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F0zs9s1sF
LoveBug snapped a selfie of himself and Mayo before the defeated man was placed in a squad car and taken away.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqF08kPoXy
“Well chat, that wasn’t really anything to write home about huh? But don’t take him lightly. He could have really hurt someone!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a0p9k2HjM
He couldn’t stop himself from letting out a chuckle but addressing his chat again.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd0fIxNABm
“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!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAoWWgA2En
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEmybEnQ6S
A hot rod colored purple and green; there’s only one person in Gotham that would own a car like that: The Joker.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGlL3boz8S
It’s almost a shame I ended the stream early. Chat would have loved to see this. Oh well.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBe4rDEPIx
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP6YuWwlUn
“Heya Joker, what’re you doing on this side of town?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbpN7WluCl
The man screeched as he noticed the new person in the car.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4PUZVUTmc
“How dare you hitch a ride with me! A nasty pest like you deserved to be squashed!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aPJLfVyco
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yzllH6KTV
“Stay calm! Pull over! And call GCPD!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY3INdjbUh
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSCySvUgz0
He laughed as the makeup on Joker’s face had rubbed on the pavement.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntA31pAijP
“Hey Joker, you’re looking mighty funny. Might have to redo your makeup.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mk71DRYVe
“Am I supposed to know you?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGtag7YKDU
He leveled the gun at the hero and pulled the trigger but only a little flag shot out. LoveBug and started to approach Joker.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhCAh1YAvT
“Guess you grabbed the wrong one from under the car seat huh?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsAv894oIq
Jokers eyes widened as he stared at the gun in his hand while LoveBug continued to talk.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03SctotV9R
“See, you might not know me, but I know you very well.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZinEMPZNv
LoveBug continued to walk towards the manic while Joker laughed.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ3ohVdzya
“Oh a fan I see! I completely overreacted it seems! Haha! Well come here! I suppose I’ll take a selfie with you!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm9MANijNZ
LoveBug rolled his eyes behind his mask but walked over, his claws fully extended now.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAydmJ4I2vS
When joker put an arm around him, he sprayed the flower into his face but Lovebug dug his claws into his wrist.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4nkn3eqcQ
“Nice try but I modified my helm just for you. Acid won’t work on me.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN5mP6XEU2
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHyp2GwMGM
“You did that just for me? I’m so happy.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfkKCNLav7
He pulled the lanky man off him and reached into his bag, grabbing a pair of pliers.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaJ9zCEo0e
“Aww you are? Then open wide.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GyZFIP5du
He carefully took ahold of the Joker’s jaw and held it after the man so obediently opened it wide.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp6t7sH6gN
“Now this might hurt a little bit.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCpJZiADe9
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewxMWLd3LO
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEG4pMIpEN
“LoveBug. A word.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMZ1XfxcM0
“Technically it’s a name.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKwWsFSFiF
He got a cold glare from the older hero before following him to what looked like Gordon’s office.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs2HDtZaCD
“You could’ve gotten someone killed today.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyJ98FY5MC
“I actually prevented deaths by stopping that car.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkLFx177Sp
“This isn’t a laughing matter.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx1inpq7YP
“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.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqQwyjoQWM
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIWswkIPPw
Batman stared at him speechless while LoveBug stormed out of the station.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA5v3grqYT
Ugh fucking Batman, thinking he’s all that.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfKTTZWgv7
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy9Tj0wegO
He was halfway around the block when a familiar voice called out to him.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE3qBfZwze
“Hey! LoveBug! Can I get an autograph?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81XaGfPfuL
He turned and saw a sight for sore eyes: Jason Wilson.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ73n95FIqB
“Hey man! Long time no talk. How’ve you been?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoyvzJ8Daf
“Pretty good. Working on some cases with GCPD. I saw your livestream today. Good job handling condiment king like that.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRzO6p3vUI
“Heh, thanks for supporting my channel man! It’s a big help.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCxCnRJI11
“Dude, I always will make time to watch your streams!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBQ4ldpek4
The two of them walked back to his apartment after he changed back into his normal clothes.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXimqLOXm04
“So, Eros what are you doing here in Gotham?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqul4ZpdhMY
“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.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzWpTZiorg
“Sheesh, you keep busy as usual. JL still giving you the cold shoulder?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hBpbCodQC
“Eh. Yeah. They don’t really agree with my whole thing. What about you?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9H6GcaTQS
“You know me, Gotham’s just my style.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5EpbjXJ2t
Eros smirked and playfully pushed Jason’s shoulder.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurEZYE0nUZ
“Because your old flame’s here?”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevHVPlw2Ox
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.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTus33OTHH
“This has nothing to do with that. I just heard the plenitude of stories. Just don’t go getting hurt.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJqXq4feut
They both laughed and Jason stood up.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OhToR3QdG
“I should go. Thanks for having me though.”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUheIMVuna
Eros opened the door for him with a smile.
“Make sure to watch my stream on Friday!”
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO3uAaF4bG
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
