Act II: Chapter 8: The Truth
June 8 2014
Daikon was seen driving a car as Natasha was in the passenger's seat while Anne and Alex were sitting in the backseat as They were making their way to New Jersey.
Daikon: Mom, Can you get your feet off the dash?
Natasha: Oh right. *Moves her feet*
Alex: So Daikon, When did you steal a car?
Daikon: *Chuckles* I don't have an answer for that.
Anne: Who did you beat up?
Daikon: Nobody.
Romanoff stared at Anne through the mirror as They chuckled as Alex looked at Anne.
Alex: So How long have you been working with SHIELD?
Anne: For three years now. What about you?
Alex: Just for a few months actually.
Anne: Fury told me alot about you and Blonsky.
Alex was silent as Anne fixed her hair and looked at the road as Ambrose said something.
Alex: So you finally have trust in me?
Anne: I will be trusting you, But you better not change my mind.
Alex just shooked his head as Natasha said something to Anne.
Natasha: So Anne, What do you miss about the 1940s?
Anne: I missed playing mini golf, Playing tag and listening to jazz music.
Daikon: Wow, Do you still play mini golf?
Anne: Not anymore because I'm looking through these modern hobbies like video games and all. I always played mini golf with my best friend.
Anne smiled remembering how her and Bucky played mini golf and tag together. She always got tired of running during tag that Bucky always had to buy her a water bottle or a juice and some snacks.
Natasha: Thats actually very interesting Anne, I remembered I heard classical music from your room.
Anne: Old is gold.
They chuckled as Daikon continued driving as They were talking to eachother.
Eventually it was nighttime as Daikon stopped the car by an abandoned military base where the signal was taking them as They got out of the car and looked at the base.
Anne: This is it.
Natasha: The file came from these coordinates.
Anne: Thats right.
They continued walking around the base as Anne saw a camp and she remembered that this was the camp she used to train.
Anne: This camp is where I was trained.
Natasha: Changed much?
Anne: A little.
Anne started to have brief visions of her smaller self running while getting exhausted, Winters was staring as She continued to have memories of her old training days.
Although they continued walking around the camp but didn't find anything as Alex said something.
Alex: This is a dead end. Zero heat signature, zero waves, not even radio.
Daikon: Whoever wrote the file must have used a router to throw people off.
Anne was looking at a building ahead of them, She looked a bit confused as Natasha noticed her.
Natasha: What's the matter?
Anne: Army regulations forbid storing ammunition within five hundred yards of the barracks. This building is in the wrong place.
Anne along with Daikon, Alex and Natasha walked towards the buildinf as Anne broke the lock with her shield and entered the building.
It was completely dark as Anne was looking around before she turn on the lights and noticed it was a SHIELD office.
Natasha: This is SHIELD.
Anne: Maybe where it started.
They entered a room where they find old portraits of Howard Stark, Peggy Carter and Colonel Chester Phillips as Natasha said something.
Daikon: That's Stark's father.
Anne: Howard.
Natasha: Who's the girl?
It was a picture of Peggy as Anne was silent and didn't reply to her as Alex and Daikon looked at eachother as Natasha looked at Anne.
Anne saw a bookshelf as She pushed the shelf and saw an elevator as They looked at eachother before going inside. Soon they continued going down until the elevator stopped and opened as they saw a room with old computers.
Natasha: This can't be the data-point, this technology is ancient
Alex: Your right about that.
Alex was walking until he notices a small flash drive port, Alex places the flash drive in it which activates the computer.
Computer: Initiate system?
Alex types "Yes" as He was looking at the computer as the others were looking until they saw something written.
Shall we play a game?
They looked confused until they heard a voice.
???: Winters, Anne, Born, 1918. Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna. Born, 1984, Ambrose, Alex. Born 1985, Subject 0127, Born 1996.
They were all looking confused as an old camera began moving above them as it analyzes them.
Natasha: It's some kind of a recording.
???: 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. . . .
Anne was shocked as She recognised that it was Doctor Armin Zola.
Natasha: Do you know this thing?
Anne: Arnim Zola was a scientist who worked for the Red Skull. He's been dead for years. . .
Zola: 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.
Anne: How did you get here?
Zola: Invited.
Natasha: It was Operation Paperclip after World War II. SHIELD recruited German scientists with strategic value.
Zola: They thought I could help their cause. I also helped my own.
Anne: HYDRA died with Red Skull.
Zola: Cut off one head, two more shall take its place.
Anne: *Glares* Prove it.
Suddenly the screen changes into Johann Schmidt as there was different footages of the army including Red Skull.
Zola: HYDRA was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. What we did not realize, was that if you try to take that freedom, they resist. The war taught us much.
It showed an old footage of Captain Winters, Fighting the HYDRA soldiers as Anne and the others were watching it as Zola continued speaking.
Zola: Humanity needed to surrender its freedom willingly. After the war, SHIELD was founded and I was recruited.
It showed Howard Stark along with different pictures of Zola as Armin continued speaking.
Zola: The new HYDRA grew. A beautiful parasite inside SHIELD. For seventy years HYDRA has been secretly feeding crisis, reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed
It showed a footage of The Winter Soldier as Anne was staring at it before Natasha said something.
Natasha: That's impossible, SHIELD would have stopped you.
Dr. Arnim Zola: Accidents will happen.
Zola: HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Once the purification process is complete, HYDRA's new world order will arise.
Zola: We won, Captain. Your death amounts to the same as your Life; a zero sum.
Anne punched the computer screen in anger as Nat, Daikon and Alex looked at her as Anne was really angry until another computer opened with Zola.
Zola: As I was saying-
Anne: What's on this drive?
Zola: Project Insight requires insight. So I wrote an algorithm.
Alex: What kind of algorithm?
Zola: The answer to your question is fascinating. Unfortunately, you shall be too dead to hear it.
Suddenly the doors starts to close as Anne tried to stop it by throwing her shield in between it but it was too late as Daikon looked at his phone.
Daikon: Anne, Short range ballistic. 30 seconds tops.
Anne: Who fired it???
Daikon: S.H.I.E.L.D.
Zola: I am afraid I have been stalling, Captain. Admit it, it's better this way. We're both of us...out of time.
Anne notices a small opening on the ground as She was gonna open it until. . .
The missile was shot as The office exploded, Anne immediately covered herself and Natasha with her shield while Alex and Daikon could cover and protect themselves from their arm as Everything was falling apart
.

Anne kicked a debris as Natasha was unconscious, Anne was holding Natasha as She looked around until she saw Daikon coming out of the rubble while Alex pushed a debris and was coughing.
Daikon: Mom??. . . Anne??
Alex: . . Daikon. . . *Coughs* They are over there.
Daikon and Alex turned around as Anne moved her hair aside as Daikon ran towards her and was checking on Natasha as Alex was looking at her as Anne managed to get up.
They were all covered in dust and diry, Daikon carried his unconscious mother as The trio were walking through the rubble of the destroyed building until they saw something.
The trio saw the STRIKE Team as They immediately ran off while the team was investigating the area. Rumlow was seen walking as He was looking around until he saw multiple footprints on the dust as He said something.
Rumlow: Call in the asset.
A/N: Thank you so much for reading and stay strong!!! :)
