Sure, there are people who think they're just vigilantes, and once Chat got framed for a crime he didn't commit and became a wanted felon, but that's just...people. People not understanding and being afraid that there are those among them with magic- even if they'd never use it to hurt anyone."

He's still a little bitter over the Copycat thing. Fuck you, Theo. His smile turns a little more concerned as they step inside.

"I think the real problem isn't the heroes, but the people they fight. The villain in my world? He'd do anything to get hold of Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculouses- uh those are the jewellery that make them able to turn into superheroes," always best to clarify if it's something Chat has explained and Adrien has not. "If he knew who they really were, he'd be able to attack the people they care about the most. He'd hurt them, threaten them, do whatever he wanted to them to make Chat Noir and Ladybug give up their power to him."

And that, ultimately, is why he still keeps his secret here. Papillon may never appear on the turtle, but he can't gamble with that chance. Not when people's lives are on the line for it.
