The glass shattered from Chat throwing his destruction charged baton at it.
"Take her and you take me, too!" He yelled at the police, who came for him. He didn't fight as the cuffs went around his wrists.
Smirking, he destroyed them and attacked the police, who were on the ground in no time, then freed Ladybug.
The timer beeped, a horn honked, and everything disappeared.
"How was that?" Adrien asked Felix and Bridgette as he pulled his hat off.
"Horrible." Felix said bluntly.
"Must you be so critical?" Adrien asked his older brother.
"Constructively." Bridgette said. "It's part of learning."
"Okay, what did I do wrong?"
"You were supposed to grab the loot and run off," Felix said. "But instead, you were focused on freeing Marinette."
He glanced at his partner, who had her hood back.
"We're partners, we're supposed to help each other!"
"Not in this case. One of you was supposed to distract while the other was supposed to take the loot and go. You two have trained on breaking free. Both of you, not just you. Marinette would have gotten out of that just fine."
"You trust me, don't you?" Marinette asked with a little smile.
"Of course I do." Adrien agreed.
She scowled. "Good. I can fight for myself, I don't always need your help."
Adrien watched her leave the gym and enter the shooting range.
He groaned.
"Being a criminal is hard."
