Ava not only survives among monsters, she thrives. When the world's most dangerous woman wakes up in a mysterious prison cell, she'll have to survive not only a death squad of killers but the stranger who seems intent on keeping her captive. This is my first story so be nice! This started as a Helmut Zemo fanfiction based off the scene in Captain America Civil War, but it morphed into something more like a character that Daniel Bruhl is playing. TW graphic violence, dubious sexual situations, captivity/hostage/kidnapping. These are characters, not real people, not real life. Don't idolize them. Made for fans of strong female action heroes, thrillers, slow burns, and Daniel Bruhl fanfiction readers (all 10 of you)
