In Different Worlds (MCU/PJO) COMPLETED

Alena

After the amazing sandwiches that May had made for us, it is time for Peter to show me where I will be staying. He offers me his room, but I deny it. He shouldn't give up something that he has, just for me to be comfortable. In the Red Room, you never give what is yours. The only thing you will give is pain, and normally that is the only thing you can give. Besides an eternity of darkness. But when you do give something it is always what is either second best, or worse.

So that is how I end up sleeping on the couch. Peter sleeping on this will not be suitable for him, and me sleeping on it is probably a good thing. My body has grown accustomed to sleeping on a hard mattress, and when I got my bed at the apartment it was too soft for my own comfort.

I left all my stuff at the apartment, and I have no desire to return for any of it. Knowing the Red Room, they will most likely burn it when I don't return. Bronya and Annushka will probably be sent to kill me. Bronya most likely is still in New York. That means she can come and kill me at any moment. And Peter.

I hear a crash from Peter's room and sprint to make sure he is alright. May is asleep, and so is Peter. Or he is supposed to be. I knock on his door. "Peter are you okay?" I try to be quiet so I won't wake May up. I seem to be succeeding so far.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine," I hear the reply from Peter, and am relieved to find out that Bronya has not come to kill us yet. He opens his door. And I see someone who I'm not really comfortable seeing.

"Peter step away from the door she could kill you at any moment as all assassins do. Especially their missions," It is the voice of Calvin Lenaya.

"I am currently on the run from the Red Room. I am sure Bronya told you everything? I told her not to get drunk," I whisper the last part to myself not bothering to hide my accent since Lenaya pointed out he knew about me. I don't want to lie anymore.

"That's what they all say. If you're running from them then why was all your stuff still there?" Lenaya has a sword now, and I am starting to regret thinking Peter's apartment is a good place to stay.

"Because I had to leave in a hurry dimwit! If they knew I was going to run away then they would have stopped me and killed me. If Bronya told you everything, you would now why I wanted to run," I explain in a hushed voice.

"Calvin you can trust her. I do, and she hasn't tried to turn me in. But what happened?" Peter asks Calvin. Realization hit me.

"Nononononono. No! Peter we have to go Calvin you can come with us to. I remember Bronya would talk about this DIA whenever she gave her reports to Tasha," I inform them when Calvin comments, "she's a winch." I nod at him a serious look still on my face. "If we can get there within the hour, we can evacuate everyone before Bronya can blow it all up. Calvin you have to trust me on this, I know you were just interrogated by two angry Russian ladies, but you can not think that after that everything in your life would be safe. I am trying to help you, but you have to trust me. After we evacuate everyone we need to go to the safe-place you told me about Peter. We will have to take everyone who is close to you there, or have them go into hiding before the Red Room can reach us. I am sorry to say it but Queens will have to live without a Spider-Man for a few days. Maybe weeks," I tell the boys.

"Weeks? Alli-Alena, are you sure that everything going on with the Red Room will make crime go down? I need to be out there. You can't expect me to-" Peter objects before I cut him off.

"I know it is a big thing to give up, but I care about you too much to let you get shot down by an assassin that is trying to get to me through you. I am sorry that I have to put you through this I really am. But for your safety you have to let someone else take care of Queens. Plus Calvin knows this first-hand, Bronya does anything for a mission. Even though she is-was my best friend, she follows her orders. Annushka ,or as you knew her Annabeth, wrote me a letter before she left. She said she cared about Percy but she still turned him in. She said that Bronya and I were like sisters to her, but if she had to choose between us, and her orders, she wouldn't hesitate to kill us. Which is another reason why I left. I had a hard time fighting the girls I was trained with. I do not know how I was chosen for a mission, or how I survived the program, but I did. You just need to trust me. Both of you," I beg them. My eyes are pleading, and Peter's shoulders shrug.

"Alright. If you are correct, Bran-Bronya turning Calvin in will mean that those people found out about the DIA. Calvin none of your friends are safe. And Arianna isn't either," Peter tell Calvin. Upon hearing Arianna, I giggle a bit, and Calvin pales. When Annushka, Bronya, and I had helped each other study, I helped Bronya with Arianna. The girl that Calvin had been dating before she went off the grid. Her last known location is somewhere here in New York. She has popped up in a few different places since then, but went missing entirely in London.

"I am sure Bronya will want to go for her first." After I say that, I pale as well. "But she went off the grid in London, how could she have ended up here in New York?" I wonder aloud.

"I'm not going to tell you. We need to get moving. I don't have any desire to have them interrogate me twice. It took long enough to get that stuff out of my system to remember what I told them. They know where the DIA is and the layout due to a map of the place Bronya took a picture of. We need to go. Peter put on your suit. Alena is that what your name is? We're breaking into that apartment. Everyone already left it except for the one named Tiana I think," Calvin orders us. My eyes squint in confusion.

"Tiana is not supposed to be here, she is in Russia unless..... This situation is worse than I feared. Peter hurry up and get that suit on, Lenaya get the car, I hope it is bulletproof. Annushka can be anywhere. Close that window, and every window here. Right now we have to make sure no one knows where we are, and no one can get to us until we reach the DIA. I have a feeling there are more than two Red Rooms in New York. Get ready for a battle boys. Some people are not going to wake up tomorrow."
