In the Shadows of Legends - A Winter Widow Story

In the shadows of legends, she stands. Dasha Barnes, the adopted daughter of Natasha Romanoff and Bucky Barnes, has grown up alongside the children of Earth's mightiest heroes. Unlike them, she has no superpowers, no advanced technology. But she possesses something uniquely her own-a cold resilience forged from a tragic past.

At the tender age of six, a devastating explosion robbed Dasha of the ability to feel, not only pain but the touch of a loved one or the breeze on her skin. This cruel twist of fate left her with a singular edge: the capacity to face danger with unflinching resolve. Her emotions, however, run deep and true, driving her to prove that even without powers, she is a force to be reckoned with.

Now, as her first mission approaches, Dasha must navigate the complexities of a world where her father's past as the Winter Soldier looms large. Whispers of Leo Novokov's escape send ripples of unease through the Avengers, threatening to upend the fragile peace within her family and cast a shadow over her impending mission.

Dasha's journey is fraught with challenges. She must confront the echoes of her father's dark history, manage the expectations of living among super-powered peers, and prove her worth on her own terms. As secrets unfold and alliances are tested, Dasha will discover were loyalties lay.

This AU comprises moments from the comics, MCU, and my own preferences so things may not fit 100% to either one but that is just how I want it.
