Original Character (OC)
Self-Insert / Imagines
Born from stolen blood and raised in the shadows of Hydra, she was never meant to be a daughter only a weapon. From her first breath, she is torn between two masters: Madame, who seeks to mold her into perfection through control and cruelty, and Alexander Pierce, who intends to bind her loyalty through ideology and order. Their rivalry shapes her into something neither can fully control. But even in the darkness, she learns to question. To feel. To want more than survival. Her journey is not only one of escape but of becoming of discovering the truth of who she is beneath the This is a story of identity, betrayal, and the search for freedom. A story where truth is as dangerous as any weapon. I post every week because I've had this planned for about a year but was too scared to do something about it

  • Hydra's Daughter: Chances

Zola Barnes, daughter of Natasha Romanoff, and the adoptive daughter of Clint Barton is raised in the red room for the first few years of her life. She grew up to the feeling of the Winter Soldier's metal fist punishing her for every mistake she made. She was thirteen-year-old Natalia's liability in the red room, but she was Clint Barton's world once he took the two of them in instead of pursuing his mission to kill them. Their lives change as they work for SHIELD alongside Clint, run from their old captors with his help, and hide in hotels and safe houses. Though Zola can hardly speak English or understand what is happening to her, she builds relationships with her mother, whom she used to be denied of seeing. She gets closer to Clint, who she genuinely believed was her father. She didn't know any better. Thankfully, she was happy to lose the one relationship she never asked for. She'd longed for a father figure, but the relationships she had with everyone in the Red Room, especially the Winter soldier, were not that. As unfortunate as it was for Bucky, who wanted nothing more than to be a part of his daughter's life, he was forced to watch her grow up in someone else's care from a distance. They wiped him so often, he would hardly remember her, anyway. Still, in the small moments where he could remember, he hoped that one day he would win her trust back as Bucky, not the Winter Soldier that she knew. BOOK ONE IN ZOLA BARNES SERIES.
