Black Lagoon: A Tale Of a Beaten Path

3 Years ago i had awoken to a very different world, a world of the past..

The Year was 1976, the country... The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics..

I found myself once again a child, but the difference was immense, i found myself the daughter of an important military officer in the VDV someone who even helped shape it into the branch it was in the present, a man who in this alternate universe version of the soviet union, displayed great courage and honor in the second world war, or rather as a soviet citizen now in a privileged soviet household, the great patriotic war...

He was Colonel Andrej Kolchev, and my name was now Annastasia Kolchev, the only daughter he had...

Apparently i was in a very deadly vehicular crash, i was riding a bus to mass at the local orthodox church, apparently in this alternative universe of the soviet union the persecution of religion was not as severe..

Anyways by all means i should not be alive right now according to the doctors, i had pieces of scrapped metal from the crash thrust through my chest cavity destroying my liver and part of my intestines along with major blood loss and heavy blows all over my upper body, including a very heavy one to the back of my head, they could not even take X-rays due to the fact some were still lodged inside of me when i was thrust here thanks to the connections my father had, yet by some miracle as the doctors in the surgical room called it as they opened me up in a very risky surgery, i was albeit kind of slowly, visibly regenerating my organs lost and much more quickly pushing the metal pieces out of my body now with an opening to do so, though i bet that with enough time it would have been pushed out through my skin, all they did was assist my bodies recovery, needless to say it took every favor (especially with that antagonizing chief surgeon who needless to say was very tilted by the sight) my father could pull to not let this fact out and not let the KGB catch wind of this to use me in some experimental program and cut me open or use me to make some regenerating super soldiers...

The first thing i did was try to act natural, the only issue was that the week or so before the crash i had no recollection or memories from Anna when we merged consciousness and wills, so i had to play it off i had a little bit of amnesia, which in my fathers eyes i suppose is a relief so he doesn't have to worry about anything such as trauma i may have from the crash, as apparently only me and one other person survived it i later learned, everyone else pretty much turning into minced meat, though with this incident and from what he came clean to me about in these years i have come to the conclusion i am basically a knockoff version of deadpool, but with this it means that as i grow my body will not be a detriment to me if i decide to go through torturous training, which of course i will decide to do so now that i have become 10 years old and my hands are now big enough to wrap around his Makarov Pistol, much to my fathers plight every time i snuck it out of one of his many hiding places.

Which brings us to now, today i will begin to put my plans in motion, i know for a fact after the soviet afghan war this country will crumble, and as someone who has more experience and years living in a capitalist country, although in the future and taking place in the murky, corrupt, crony side of it, suffice to say i don't plan on altering history to keep the soviet union from collapsing, instead i will profit off of it and create my own group of like-minded people and a safe haven for those who live on the battlefield, kind of inspired by that video game series metal gear believe it or not..

-----------------------------------------------Story Begins-----------------------------------------------

I take a look around the beautiful vista of our Dacha out on the porch one last time for today as i go inside, looking for my father in his office, i have no mother as shortly after giving birth to me she died, apparently she was somewhat infertile as after decades of trying to get her pregnant with me he only succeeded by the time he was in his 40s.. Anyways.

I walked in front of his offices door and stood in the hallway, politely knocking before coming inside..

*Knock Knock* "Papa, may i come in? I have something i wish to ask you about."

Hearing me, i heard him audibly plop something on his desk before responding

"Why of course, come in! What is it anna?" My father replied through the door

I walked in and told him outright

"You know i have lately been putting more interest into Gymnastics and the military preparedness classes lately right papa? I want permission from you to learn more to become a great Officer like you and serve in the VDV just like you!" I said

He just looked at me so i continued in the same breath

"I know you will likely try to get me a spot in one of the Suvorov Military Schools anyways even though they are more meant for boys, but before that i want to learn everything i can so i can get the best grades and become just like you papa, i know you get worried about me, but i dont want to become helpless like before in the crash ever again!

And about my condition, if i can get good enough at protecting myself from injury i wont even need to hide it so much! If you can get me sorted to enroll in a special preparedness course i can not only learn how to be great just like you but the bad guys wont be able to get me!"

I then stopped and looked into his eyes, he was giving me the thousand meter stare, his eyes wide open..

He then snapped out of it and looked down at his desk with his elbows layed ontop of it, and said with a sigh..

"I know sweetheart, i know.. But with the ways things are right now, i'm not sure if this is the greatest idea right now.." He said..

"Pleaaaseee, ill get the best grades, even better than my current records i promise! Ill get grades that set the highest for the whole local ministry!"

"Fine.. But the vocational training wont be through the school, it will be done by my men, and either i or Dimitro will supervise you.." He sighed out.

Oh and i forgot to mention about him, but Uncle Dimitro is the second hand man of my fathers in the VDV, and his and my fathers family were really close for a long time, we even live near eachother!

I jumped up in elation and giggled a bit while turning to soon be running out of the office to my bedroom to read some books, and as i did so i heard him bellow behind me.

"And it will be on the weekends only young lady! I better not catch you slumping at school now that you don't have those days off!"

I ran back to my room excited about what this new life may have in store for me...
