Sometimes, when they're dealing with a situation, the protagonists will meet up with the people who are officially supposed to handle this sort of thing: the police, the military, the exterminators, or the Ancient Conspiracy. Inevitably, the first thing these people will tell a civilian hero to do is to get out of the way and let them do their jobs. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In Fictionland, the Rule of Drama means that this never works out. In some stories, the "civilian" is really better able to deal with the situation than the official professionals; this is particularly common in Super Hero stories or other stories with paranormal elements, where the "professionals" may try to defeat a supernatural problem with mundane methods and get their backsides handed to them. In others, the protagonists will ignore the professionals and get in way over their heads for doing so, though even then they tend to solve the story's central problem anyway. Sometimes the professionals aren't just telling the civilians to step back for their safety. Sometimes, they're trying to maintain The Masquerade or keep other secrets out of the public eye. This trope is Truth in Television, but in Real Life, it's really better to listen to the professionals when they order you out of the way.

Nocturne (RPG Maker): In the beginning of the game, Reviel Von De Russert always force Luna into the back row of the Defender formation because he doesn't trust her to be able to fight even the most basic monsters. This is deconstructed because ends up hurting Luna's already low self-esteem and puts her in a downward spiral for the first segment of the game. | |

The Many Worlds Interpretation (Discworld and The Big Bang Theory): The City Watch have to deal with a wild animal on the loose, running panicked in a non-familiar city environment. Doctor Johanna Smith-Rhodes, who realises exactly what the animal is, joins the pursuit. A new and naive Watchman tries to exclude her from the pursuit on the grounds that she's a civilian. Johanna rolls with it, potentially adding assault on a police officer to her charge sheet. Then she rounds up the creature. | |

Tokyo Xanadu: Asuka initially wants Kou to stay out of her business and not try to investigate the Eclipse with her. She's an enforcer for Nemesis and prefers to work alone, while Kou has no knowledge of the Underground. He manages to wear her down and get her grudging acceptance, but this trope comes back in full effect in Chapter 5, when Asuka discovers a Greed on a tier higher than anything they've faced before. According to her, a Grim Greed is entirely beyond the rest of the group's skill, and so she puts Kou in a barrier so he doesn't interfere with her defeating it. In Chapter 7, when Gorou and the Aegis Battalion intervene, he tells the XRC that they've done great so far, but now that the Breed is active and threatens to cause The Tokyo Fireball, it's time for the adults to take charge and deal with things using Humongous Mecha. |

The Berenstain Bears: A variant in the Big Chapter Book And the Drug-Free Zone. The Bear Detectives help expose the source of the drugs that have recently turned up in Bear Country, and while the police thank them for their help in cracking the case (and providing further evidence of the dealers' identities), they also sternly tell off the cubs for getting involved because of how dangerous drug dealers can be, and for jumping to conclusions based on first impressions. | |

The Greatest Magicmaster's Retirement Plan: Downplayed. Alus Reigin usually doesn't like working with newbies like Tesfia and Alice, but he allows Tesfia to join him in rescuing Alice because he knows how personal the mission is to her. Though he states he would have knocked her out if he didn't think she had enough resolve. | |
