The ride towards our destination wasn't far from where we're going - We got our destination from the flash drive that Nick gave to Steve; It led us to an abandoned military base. I noticed that Steve seemed to be having a blast from the past when he saw this building. "The file came from these coordinates." Natasha spoke.

"So did I. This camp is where I was trained." Steve said.

I investigate the buildings with my enhanced sense of smell. I can smell mostly moss and scent of different types of animals with a hint of alcohol, possibly teenagers broke in and had a party most likely. "This is a dead end. Zero heat signature, zero waves, not even radio. Whoever wrote the file must have used a router to throw people off." Natasha explains.

"Army regulations forbid storing ammunition within five hundred yards of the barracks. This building is in the wrong place." Steve replies. Steve opens the lock with his shield - The door opens when we head inside the old building, it smelt of moss and dust. When Natasha turned on the dim light; It revealed that this building was once S.H.I.E.L.D.

Turns out there's a secret elevator that leads to a small secret room with old computers and such - Natasha places the flash drive in it which then activates the ancient computer in the room. "Initiate system?" The computer asks.

" Y-E-S, spells yes." She said while typing that it activates the computer. "'Shall we play a game?'" She said in a deep creepy voice. She turns to Steve, "It's from a movie that..."

"Yeah, I saw it." He tells her.

Then a familiar accent voice spoke up; "Rogers, Steven. Born, 1918. Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna. Born, 1984."

"It's some kind of a recording." Natasha said.

"I am not a recording, Fräulein. I may not be the man I was when the Captain took me prisoner in 1945, but I am." The computer said. The computer shows an old photo of none other than the bug-eyed man himself. He somehow became a computer.

"Do you know this thing?" Natasha asks Steve.

Steve replies, "Arnim Zola was a German scientist who worked for the Red Skull. He's been dead for years."

"First correction, I am Swiss." Zola spoke. "Second, look around you. I have never been more alive. In 1972 I received a terminal diagnosis. Science could not save my body, my mind, however, that was worth saving on two hundred thousand feet of data banks. You are standing in my brain."

"How did you get here?" Ask Steve.

"Invited."

"It was Operation Paperclip after World War II. SHIELD recruited German scientists with strategic value." Natasha explains.

"They thought I could help their cause. I also helped my own." Zola says.

"HYDRA died with the Red Skull." Steve informs.
