The Nexus was almost too loud after the silence of Paris. The sight of people overwhelming in some way, which just had the teen withdrawing near-immediately when he realized where he was, that he still existed for all that trying to retreat back through the door he'd come through did nothing. He assumed that meant that Ladybug had done what she'd needed, that the timelines were fixed but...
Well it left him even more at a loss than before. And admittedly more close to panic than he felt safe being with so many others around. But he managed to bite it back enough to avoid people, taking to rooftops to dart to the closest thing to a safe space he knew of in the Nexus.
Which meant it wouldn't be long before Steve would hear the sounds of movement in the upstairs of the Clubhouse- should he investigate Adrian hadn't realized that he'd been heard, just... gotten to the middle of the room before he simply sank to sit, unable to help the faint tremor coursing through him. And he definitely looked different than any of the other times Steve had seen him, the costume a sterile white instead of black, eyes a startling, uneasy sort of blue. It gave an air of something unpleasant rather than the barely suppressed air of mischief that Adrien usually carried as Chat, that was for certain.
