A/N: I was recently informed that I was misspelling Zola's name. It's Arnim not Armin. It's fixed in this chapter as well as the last one.

"Oh, sh*t..." Peter muttered as he knew what Zola was trying to do.
In the movie, Zola locked the Avengers that found him inside the room and called in an air strike, hoping to kill his enemies alongside himself.
Of course, he did that in order to stop them from revealing what they knew about Project Insight, though that wasn't the only reason.
As a living supercomputer, Zola is a literal databank of everything related to Hydra going all the back to World War 2.
He was one of the main people who spearheaded the rebuilding of Hydra after being recruited into the United States during Operation Paperclip.
If he were to be captured, then every bit of information he knew would be in the hands of his captors.
Names, addresses, plans, and so much more were locked up inside his metal brain, waiting to be harvested.
On top of that, unlike a normal human, Zola is unable to forget anything, making him a treasure trove of information.
He isn't even human anymore, making the information readily available to anyone who could hack into his mind.
'He wants to commit suicide...' Peter thought as soon as the provoking words started flying.
After all, without the ability to call in an air strike, since Peter's barriers were blocking all communications, Zola was left extremely vulnerable.
Before Peter could reveal what was happening, Tony launched forward, propelled by the thrusters on his hands and feet.
*Crash!*
Smashing his metal fist into the monitor that showed Zola's face, Tony watched in satisfaction as the glass fell to the floor with small clinks.
"You really should be thanking me, Mr. Stark." Zola says as his smiling image appears on every other monitor around the room. "Didn't you hate your father? I thought you'd be happy that I had him killed. After all, you inherited his kingdom, did you not?"
"F*ck my dad. He was almost as smart as me, so he could take care of himself." Tony says as his palm thrusters start pulsing dangerously. "You had that piece of sh•t strangle my innocent mother to death."
*Boom!*
Tony held up both hands and fired his thrusters, simultaneously destroying two other monitors. nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
"Ahh, yes." Zola says in amusement as his remaining images smirk toward Tony. "Sweet Maria Stark... You know, I once bumped into her before changing bodies to this machine. I instantly knew why Howard was so infatuated. After all, anyone would be smitten with an a*s like that-"
*Boom boom boom...*
Unable to listen any further, Tony starts repeatedly firing his palm thrusters, destroying every monitor in the room but one.
"Alright, Tony." Peter says as he snaps his fingers. "That's enough."
This form of questioning continued until Peter got a good enough answer.
"Found it!" Peter called out as he crawled through a vented panel and found a hidden room filled with giant old-school hard drives, which looked to have been upgraded to a certain extent. 'Let's see...'
Getting to work, Peter hard-wired his ghost laptop in and started downloading every bit of information.
Of course, he made sure to isolate everything that was being downloaded, leaving it in a heavily secured portion of his laptop, which didn't have any access to the internet, just in case Zola tried anything funny.
'I'll have to be careful later on.' Peter thought as he finished the download.
Before leaving the secret room, Peter used the Aether to create countless bricks of C-4 explosives, as well as a detonator.
Leaving the bricks behind, Peter crawled back out and handed Tony the detonator.
"Come on. Let's leave the room so you can blow it up." Peter says as he walks toward the door.
"Are you leaving?" Zola asks like a lonely child.
"..." A wavering look appeared on Tony's face. "I don't think that I can do it with him like this..."
"Hmm..." Peter turns to look over his shoulder and snaps his fingers.
Instantly, the processors that were on the floor flew back into place, fixing themselves in a matter of seconds.
"There, better now?" Peter asks as the screeching voice of Zola fills the room.
"You won't get away with this!" He screams angrily, sounding just like before the processors were removed. "Cut off one head and two more shall rise to take its place!"
"Yeah yeah, whatever." Peter muttered as he left the room, followed by everyone else.
"Go ahead." Peter nods toward Tony as a barrier appears, which surrounded the room in order to contain the coming explosion.
"..." Staring down at the detonator, Tony took a deep breath before giving it a squeeze.
"Hail Hydra!" Zola fanatically yelled his last words.
*BOOM!*
Instantly, everything on the other side of the barrier was covered in fire and smoke, turning the entire room into nothing but rubble.
"Today marks the end of the brilliant Arnim Zola." Peter said uncaringly.
'I'm sorry that it took me this long to avenge you...' Tony thought of his parents as he turned his head away from the destruction.
"Hands in the air, now!" Marching footsteps were heard as a group of armed 'Shield' agents came rushing down the hall.
"Okay, you guys deal with capturing this base." Peter says as he opens a portal and steps through. "I have to go and shuttle the others around."
"Wait!" Steve called out, ignoring the armed gunmen. "Did you get any information on what he did to Bucky?"
"I don't know yet." Peter turns and shrugs. "Deal with what's in front of you for now. We'll fix up Bucky soon enough."
