In Different Worlds (MCU/PJO) COMPLETED

II - Get Ready

Bronya

I stand behind Alena and Annushka stands to my left. I don't know what this is about but if it concerns all three of us, I don't know what to think. One girl leaving the pack is easy to let by unnoticed. But if there's three?

The door opens and there stands a tall woman. Her face is covered, and her barely noticeable muscles show through her tight fitted grey clothing. "Move," the woman orders her sharp Russian words sparking off her tongue like escaping a fire. I step to the side swiftly, as she hustles out of the room to stand behind me.

Alena walks in first and Annushka is next. I walk in last to see Madame at her desk. The door quietly shuts behind me and I try my best to not jump.

"I have a mission for each of you girls. Only if you can prove to follow orders. We will be examining you. Remember you are replaceable. Now follow," Madame states getting straight to the point.

I am getting a mission. If I do what I am supposed to. I need to succeed. I am slowly losing my mind. But I guess that is the purpose of the Red Room to train you to be the best, and if you're not able to keep up, you go insane or die. Sounds like a real treat right?

I follow the woman from earlier, curious about what I am supposed to do for the examination. We reach a room I have never been in before, and once inside I see Annushka and Alena visibly tense.

There are girls in there already. One looks familiar but that is it. There are three of them. One has chocolate brown hair in a bun, as usual in the Red Room, with foreign features, along with a petite size of around 5 feet, and very small but strong muscles.

The second has dirty blonde hair, in a bun with some Russian and also foreign features like sunken in brown eyes. She looks about 5'6", and her muscles make her look even more deadly.

The third looks like me. She looks a little older than I am, even though I don't know my age, and her black hair is in a bun, her brown eyes dig into mine, and she looks the most Russian of all three and clearly looks to be related to me somehow. She is a good 5'4", and she doesn't look overwhelmingly strong.

They all look over at us, and we look at them. "These are your examiners. Chershevsky go left, Kuznetsov middle, Semenov go right," the woman who led us here orders in a cold tone.

We walk to the girl in those directions, and I walk towards the one who looks like me. They all wear Red Room uniforms, and I am hoping this will be the last step before the mission. Before leaving hell.

"Dance," She says in a sharp Russian tone. I calmly run to an open area not wanting to waste time, and perform the dance Madame orders us to do daily. I do everything as normal, and I am joined by Annushka and Alena. We perform the dance perfectly in my opinion. Breathe, Rise, Fall.

"Stop," the blonde demands. The Russian language sounds like she isn't quite used to it. We stop dancing.

"Fight to the death," the brown-haired girl orders, her voice sounding less Russian than the blondes.

Three girls come from behind as I spin around each coming for one of us. They look familiar.

She wants us to try and kill these girls. I quickly decide that I want all of us to survive since they are my closest things to friends. So I think over who could succeed in this challenge. Annushka can do it. I can do it. Alena is questionable.

I look at my opponent as she runs towards me as I am studying her. She pounces, and I barely sidestep in time and roll to where she stood when she jumped. She runs to where I stand planning to plow into me, as I duck and swing my leg around as she runs to where I was previously standing. She has never thought to think of a ground attack. Stupid.
