Natasha pulled out some machine and scanned the code pad to decipher the code to the elevator
After some beeping of the device, it revealed the code and Natasha typed it into the pad, which made the elevator open
They got in and went down to the only floor available and after the bell of the elevator it revealed a very very dark room
The three Avengers hesitantly walked into the room and the elevator doors closed behind them
At the end of the room was a big computer with a dimly light illuminating it
As they walked further into the room, lights started flickering on revealing the complete setup of the computer, with dozens of hard drives and backups standing everywhere
"This can't be the data point, this technology is ancient" Natasha said walking towards the computer
She noticed a modern USB port hooked up to the computer and it was the only thing that was not covered in dust
Natasha put the usb drive she had into the port and the old computer turned on by itself, with more lights turning on and the databases rolling
"Initiate system?" The computer asked while spelling out the words on an old monitor
"Yes" Natasha typed on the dusty keyboard before leaning on the desk and looking back at Steve and Jack
"Shall we play a game?" She joked referring the jigsaw movies
Jack chuckled softly but Steve kept serious so Natasha figured he didn't understand because of him being frozen away for 70 years
"It's from a movie that was really po-" Natasha started
"I know, I saw it" Steve replied before a camera on top of the computer started moving
It aimed for Steve first and an image of an old man in weird glasses popped up onto the monitor
"Rogers, Steven, born 1918" a robotic, yet human voice said before the camera moved to Natasha
"Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna, born 1984" the same voice said
"Bellincioni, Jack Luca, born 2000" the same voice said after the camera moved to jack
"Some kind of recording?" Natasha questioned
"I am not a recording, Fraeulein"
"I may not be the man I was when captain took me prisoner in 1945, but I am." It said as an old image of a doctor popped up on another monitor
"You know this thing?" Jack asked Steve
"Arnim Zola was a German scientist who worked for the Red Skull, he's been dead for years" Steve said
"First correction, I am Swiss. 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 was worth saving. On 200,000 feet of databanks, you are standing in my brain"
"How did you get here?" Steve asked
"Invited" Zola replied
