After waking up, in the 21st century, from being frozen for almost 70 years, Steve Rogers is trying to adjust to his new life and the new world around him. What happens when he stumbles upon old SSR/SHIELD file? Will his past come back to haunt him...
We were in the car, driving down the highway, on our way to the location the USB gave us. I looked over at Steve. I could not stop thinking about the kiss. It wasn't just the kiss I guess it was just Steve. He was so sweet and kind. I really cared for him. "Where did Captain America learn how to steal a car?" I asked. He looked over at me "Nazi Germany." He answered. He looked away and glanced back. "And we're borrowing. Get your feet off the dash." He said with a slight smile. Always so good. I smiled. I finally decided to ask him the question I had been wanting to ask. "Alright, I have a question for you. Uh, which you do not have to answer. I feel like if you don't answer it though your kind of answering..." I rambled on and was finally interrupted. "What?" He asked. A smile grew on my face. "Was that your first kiss since 1945?" I asked with a slight giggle. He smiled a little. "That bad huh?" "I didn't say that." I told him. "Well, it kinda sounds like that's what your saying." "No I wasn't. I just wondered how much practice you've had." "Pfft, I don't need practice." He said "Everyone needs practice." "It was not my fist kiss since 1945! I'm 95 I'm not dead." He answered slightly annoyed. "Nobody special though?" I asked. Secretly a little disappointed. He laughed "Believe it or not it's kind a hard to find someone with shared life experience." Well, that's alright you jut make something up." "What like you?" "I don't know the truth is a mater of circumstance." "That's a tough way to live." He said "It's a good why not to die though." I answered. "You know it's kind of hard to trust someone when you don't know who that someone really is." I thought about what he said. "Yeah, Who do you want me to be?" I asked gently. "How about a friend?" "There may be a chance your in the wrong business." I told him. He smiled and looked back at the road. Steve's POV.
When we got to the camp where I had trained and we walked around. We got to the barracks and I saw the old flag pole. The flag was gone. "So this is where you trained?" Natasha asked. "Yep" I answered. "Changed much?" "A little." I thought about what my old self would have thought seeing me now. "This is a dead end. Whoever made the file must have used a router to throw people off. As we kept walking I saw a supply building. I walked over to it. "What is it?" Natasha asked "Army regulations forbids storing ammunition within 500 yards of the barracks. This buildings in the wrong place." I broke the lock on the door with my shield, and we went in and turned on the lights. "This is SHIELD." Nat stated. "Maybe where it started."I corrected. We walked over to where they used to keep the files and books. Over a desk there were three pictures. One of Col. Philips, Howard and... Peggy. "There's Stark's father." "Howard." I said. "Whose the girl." She asked. I didn't want to a answer. I'm trying to move on and I think Natasha has helped that a lot. I don't want to bring it all back. I went to the book case at the end. I notices the cob webs between the bookcases were moving. Like air was blowing on them. "If your already working in a secret office...." I slid the bookcase over, reviling an elevator. "Why do you need to hide the elevator?" We went of the elevator and found a room with a huge computer We plugged the USB into a new computer. "Y-E-S. Spells Yes. Shall we play a game. That's from a movie that..." She started. "I saw it." I nodded. All of the sudden the screen came on and made a face that looked like... No it can't be. It was! "It's some kind of recording." She said confused. "I am not a recording fräulein. I may not be the man I was when the Capitain took me prisoner in 1945, but I am..."the thing spoke and showed a picture of... Zola! I looked shocked. "Do you know this thing?" "Arnim Zola was a German scientist who worked for the Red Skull. He's been dead for years." I told her. "First correction Captain. I am Swiss. Second, Look around you. I have never been more alive! In 1972 I received a terminal diagnosed. Science could not save my body, but mind mind,that was worth saving on 200,000ft. Of data banks." The computer spoke. "How did you get here?"I asked. "Invited." The thing said. "Operation Paper Clip. SHIELD recited German scientists with... strategic value."

She answered bluntly, shrugging it off. Of course I knew it was it shrugging matter. He was dangerous."They thought I could help their cause. I also helped my own." Zola said. "HYDRA died with the Red Skull!" I said sternly, referring to Shmit. "Cut off one head to more shall take its place." "Prove it!"I yelled at Zola. The computer/Zola explained how he was the parasite inside SHIELD. How the people who now head over SHIELD are secretly hydra. And how the Winter soldier has been causing disasters and pain to scare people into giving up their freedom. "That's impossible SHIELD would have stopped you." She said talking about the founders. Peggy, Col. Philips and Howard. "Accents will happen." He said and on the computer screen it showed a picture of Howard's death in the news paper. 'They killed Howard! SHIELD what I've been working for.' I thought. He continued explaining how now the people were ready to give up their freedom and it was all because of HYDRA/SHIELD. "Once the population process is complete, HYDRA's new world order will arise! We won, Captain. Your death amounts to a zero sum." I was so angry! I died for nothing I'm here for NOTHING! I couldn't hear anymore! In my anger I smashed the giant screen. He disappeared. Then reappeared on the smaller screen. "As I was saying." He continued. "What's on this drive?" I asked. "Project insight requires insight. So I wrote a algorithm." The mister said. "What kind of algorithm? What does it do?" Natasha asked. "The answer to your question is interesting. Unfortunately you will be too dead to hear it." The doors to the elevator started to close I through my shield at the door, trying to black it from closing. It didn't work. "Steve." Natasha called. I turned worried. "We got a bogie." "How long?" I asked her. "30 seconds tops." I ripped the top off of a vent, picked up Natasha and covering us with the shield. "Admit it Captain, it is better this way. We are both of us, out of time." I jumped into the vent. Then it hit. Rocks and debris fell on us all the way down the vent. I somehow got us out of the settled building rubble. I noticed a helicopter with search lights. 'SHIELD they've found us!' I thought. I picked up the knocked out Natasha and ran. I ran to an over pass near The edge of New Jersey and laid Natasha down gently. "Natasha. Natasha." I called to her. She wasn't waking up I put my head to her chest listening for her heart. It was beating. 'Thank goodness!' "Natasha." I whispered picking up her head gently and shook her head back and forth, again gently. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up at me. I smiled and looked at her. I couldn't help my self all I could think about is how happy I was that she was okay. She was all I had right now. I leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips. I really cared for her. She was so sweet and caring, though she tried to hide it. I released the kiss. We sat staring at each other.
Natasha's POV.
I fluttered my eyes open and saw Steve smiling at me then his smile faded. Before I knew it he leaned down and kissed me very gently. He released from the kiss and sat up. I sat up as well. We just sat there and stared at each other. "We should probably go." I said tiredly still recovering from the explosion. I stood up and he did also. "Here." I said handing him his jacket, probably blushing a bit. He took it. I looked around "So where now? Everyone is trying to kill us. Where can we..." "I know where we can go. I know someone. Let's go get the car." And with that we went back to the camp after the strike team had left, got in the car and drove back to D.C.
Awwwww Natasha and Steve are together! But will it last?
