Hydra

After the three walked around a little more Steve stopped infront of a cupboard.

He heard wind coming from between the two cupboards he was inspecting, "If you're already working in a secret office," he pulled the one cupboard to the side, "why do you need to hide the elevator?" he wondered.

They looked forward at the elevator doors.

"Let's find out." Costia said as the three walked towards the elevator. Natasha used her device to crack the code from the elevator. She typed it in and the doors opened with a ring.

"After you." Costia watched as Steve walked in the elevator first, the two women followed. They drove downstairs until the elevator stopped with another ring.

The doors opened and they faced a dark room.

They walked inside and watched as the elevator doors closed behind them. After a few seconds the lights in the room switched on. The room was bigger than expected and it was filled with old computers.

"This can't be the data point." Natasha said as she looked around confused, "This technology is ancient."

Costia agreed before she spotted the only thing in the room that didn't look old.

"Tasha." she said as she nodded towards it. It was a USB port that looked a little more modern.

Natasha took the USB-stick out of her pocket and put it in the port. All the computer and systems in the room started and the three main screens showed a green writing.

Also a camera that was attached to the screens spotted the three.

An electronic voice started to speak 'Initiate system?' the voice said and at the same time it was written on one of the screens.

Natasha placed her hands on the dusted keyboard, "Y-E-S spells yes." she said as she typed in the letters, they heard how something was powering up.

"Shall we play a game?" Natasha joked, she turned around to Steve "It's from a movie that was really-"

"I know." Steve interrupted her, "I saw it."

Costia laughed, normally Steve didn't undertsand stuff like that. But he got that reference.

The three watched as a face appeared on the monitor infront of them. It was green and just out of dots but you could still see that it was a face. 'Rogers, Steven' the voice that matched the face on the screen said with a strong german accent 'born 1918.'

The camera turned over to Costia, 'Reyonova, Costia Eleanora, born 1986'. Costia looked at the computer infront of her confused. How did it know this?

Natasha looked over to her girlfriend, she knew what memories her full name triggered for her.

Then the camera turned to Natasha, 'Romanova, Natalia Alianovna, born 1984.'

"It's some kind of recording." Natasha said as she looked at the screen. 'I am not a recording, Fraeulein. I may not be the man I was when the Captain took me prisoner in 1945. But I am.' it said.

It showed a picture of a man, "You know this thing?" Natasha asked as she looked at Steve.

"Armin Zola was a German scientist who worked for the Red Skull. He's been dead for years."

'First correction, I am Swiss. Second, look around you. I have never been more alive. In 1972, I recived a terminal diagnosis. Sience could not save my body. My mind, however, that was worth saving, on 200,000 feet of databanks. You are standing in my brain.'

          

"How did you get here?" Steve asked, he was tired of all his talking. 'Invited.' Zola said.

"It was Operation Paperclip after world war two." Natasha explained, "Shield recruited German scientists with strategic value."

'They thought I could help their cause. I also helped my own.' Zola said.

"Hydra and Shield are two diffrent things. There is no Hydra in Shield. It ended with the Red Skull." Steve said.

'Cut off one head, two more shall take its place.' Zola said as the screen showed Hydras sign.

"Prove it." Steve said. Natasha and Costia shared a worried glance.

The machine showed the three a video, it was about how Hydra sneaked it's way inside Shield. Showed how Shield was basically Hydra.

"That's impossible." Natasha said in disbelief, "Shield would've noticed and stopped you."

Zola contuined with his presentation, showed how Howards Starks death wasn't just a car accident. Natasha and Costia looked at the screen in shook.

"What's on this drive?" Steve interrupted Zola. 'Projet inside requires insight. So I wrote an algorithm.'

"What kind of algorithm? What does it do?" Costia spoke up, there was so much going on in her head right now.

'The answer to your question is fascinating.' Zola said to Costia, 'Unfortunately, you shall be too dead to hear it.'

Suddenly the elevator drove back up again and Natasha phone beeped. "What is it?" Costia asked.

"We got a bogey. Short range ballistics." Natasha said as she looked at her phone, "30 seconds tops."

"Who fired it?" Costia asked as she looked around, searching for a place to survive.

"Shield."

Natasha quickly grabbed the USB-stick. "Here!" Steve said as he ripped a grating from the ground. The three quickly jumed inside but the explosion already took place.

They were a little protected by Caps shiled but the red mist around them helped more.

It was dark around them. Completly dark.

Steve groaned as he pushed parts of the building that had stood before from above him.

There were little fires everywhere. Steve stood up and looked at the two women.

Natasha leaned against some stone, she was awake but could barely keep her eyes open.

Costias eyes were closed. There was blood running down her face, it came from her forehead.

Natasha coughed as she looked at the woman beside her. She looked at her in fear. What if she was...?

She moved her hand to her wrist and put her fingers around it. She let out a relived sigh when she felt a pulse.

"They're gonna be here soon." Steve said as he looked at Natasha, "Can you walk?"

Natasha nodded faintly as she stood up, slowly.

Steve grabbed Costia and carried her towards the car, Natasha was right behind him.

They were just seconds away from getting caught but somehow managed to get away.

Steve placed Costia in the backseat while Natasha got in the passenger seat. They quickly drove away. Not knowing where to go yet just that they had to get away.

Steve decided to drive back in the direction of DC. He could only think of one person who wouldn't hand them over to 'Shield' right now.

Costia woke up halfway to DC. She sat up in the back and looked at the two in the front. They were covered in dirt and Natashas hair was all messy.
