The Girl They Taught to Survive is a short, dark Marvel fanfiction following the childhood of Vladislava "Vlada" Nyx Volkov, an original female character created by the author.
This story has been created with the assistance of AI and has been rewritten, altered, expanded, and edited many times by the author. The story and Vlada herself have developed and changed throughout the writing process.
This is an unofficial fanwork being published on Wattpad. It does not follow the Marvel universe timeline exactly, and certain events, characters, relationships, and details have been altered to fit this story and its own continuity. All Marvel characters, settings, and canon material remain the property of Marvel and their respective creators and rights holders. No ownership of Marvel intellectual property is claimed.
Vlada was never raised to be normal.
Her father taught her how to fight. Her mother taught her how to read people. Their home was filled with weapons, secrets, false identities, and things no child should have had to understand.
But beneath it all was a family that loved her.
And sometimes, love means preparing someone for the day you might not be there to save them.
This book follows Vlada from childhood to seventeen, exploring the experiences that shape the woman she will eventually become. It serves as the beginning of the larger Bucky Barnes x Vladislava Volkov (OC) x Steve Rogers fanfiction, long before either relationship begins.
She was never meant to become a weapon.
Her parents simply wanted to make sure she survived long enough to choose what she would become.
