By: DMGirl4Ever

Jace Wayland, a skilled Shadowhunter, never expected to come face to face with one of the most powerful demons in New York, and didn't expect to meet a spy along the way. Alex Rider, Britain's top spy for MI6, is sent to New York after a mission to take a break from MI6, but didn't expect to encounter a Shadowhunter on a hunt.

Chapter 3

"Jack these idiots around here creep me out!" Alex whined into the phone.

"What exactly did they say to you again?" Jack asked.

"They asked if I was from some Institute there in London." Alex said.

He had been so distracted by those guys that he didn't know what to do, and had gone back to the hotel to see if napping it off would get his mind off of everything so he could enjoy the trip.

"So they asked if you were an insane person, or used to be locked up as one? At least they weren't some crazy psycho trying to shoot you." Jack asked with a hint of humor in her voice. She was trying so hard not to laugh.

"It's not funny Jack." Alex said, leaning back against the headrest on the bed. "They really freaked me out."

"As if they aren't as bad as half the stuff you have faced lately."

Alex sighed. He knew Jack was right. At least they hadn't put a gun to his head or sent him on some crazy mission, or kidnapped him.

'At least I would know what to do when it came to that instead of this.' Alex thought.

"Well I've got to get some sleep Alex. Stay safe." Jack said and hung up.

Alex put his phone away and went out onto the small balcony that adorned the room and he looked out onto the streets. He hadn't been able to do what he wanted today, and it disappointed him.

His phone went off and he went back in and saw it was a text that came through from one of his close friends; Sabina.

Hey Alex. How is New York?

Alex smiled as he read the text and sent back a reply.

It could be better, but it is New York after all.

He almost instantly got a reply back.

Someone didn't mug you did they?

Alex sighed.

No, I just ran into some weird people. I'll text you later okay?

The reply he got back seemed like it had more concern in it that the phone call with Jack.

Okay, but please stay safe. I want you to get back to England safe and sound.

Alex turned off his phone after that, not wanting anyone else to interrupt his thoughts as he reflected on the day and the days ahead.

He stepped back out onto the balcony and watched the sun start to go down. The wind was picking up at a soft pace and it blew through his hair and felt cool and calm.

"Not you again."

Alex nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard that voice once more that had greeted him earlier.

Hanging from one of the upper balconies was the blonde headed boy. He dropped down onto the balcony next to Alex's and leaned against the railing, polishing off some sort of weapon.

"Was I not clear earlier when I left you two idiots?" Alex said, fixing to head back inside when something about the boy stopped him from doing so.

"Obviously not if I'm standing here now." The boy said. "By the way, my name is Jace, just so things don't appear to be awkward when you try to reference my name."

"You aren't going to know mine, Jace." Alex spat out the boy's name.

"I will eventually, whether you like it or not little mundane boy." Jace smirked.

"Why do you keep referring to me as a mundane?" Alex asked.

"Because that is what you are mundane." Jace said in a mocking tone. "You are a human, unaware of my world."

"Well aren't you a mundane as well? You are not above me." Alex said, leaning against the railing to face Jace.

"Yes I am." Jace said and looked out across the skyline. "Hopefully our paths will not cross again."

With that, Jace jumped over the railing and landed on one below, heading inside another room and getting out of Alex's sight once more.

"You are so weird!" Alex yelled, and then stormed back into his room, locking the balcony doors as tight as they would go, and proceeding to do the same with the door.
