Red Skull turned his attention to Area 51, a top-secret government outlet where the chief power to launch and create nuclear weapons of mass dstruction - just in case - most villains dismissed the place as nothing but a fairy tale land, but Red Skull had discovered through his network of spies - the most informed "bad guys" in the world, that Red Skull, indeed, needed to cast his eyes on Area 51. These agents pin-pointed its exact location; they also informed him that there was a super computer that, if manipulated correctly, would effectively destroy the United States government and ruin the lives of practically everyone in the country: the repossession of homes, the freezing of bank accounts, the closing of businesses big and small, other important aspects of everday life in America, leading to unrest, rioting, revolutions: Red Skull would have everything, and he would roughly blackmail American citizens into making him their Leader; and eventually he would rule the nations, returning homes to those who acknowledged him and doling out incomes to his forced followers - these things taken away from them if for any reason people rebelled against him Soon he would be the ruler of a nation of once free men to that of slaves.

As it happened Red Skull's agents had been off the mark. In fact Area 51 was used by the US government for the housing of a giant computer, it is true. But The US government would not necessarily fail if Red Skull were to take it over; bank accounts would not freeze, people's houses - and cars - would not be repossessed, businesses of all kinds would not fail, the stock market would not crash irreparably, he would not bankrupt the nation by taking over the Federal Reserve and the mint--but the great and vital Area 51 computer, guarded by an army wich Red skull had already devised an as it happened fail-safe plan to divert, leaving the computer unguarded except by just a few men - whom Red Skull would again divert long enough for - someone, but whom? - to, now, infect with a virus that Red Skull would control. In effect Red Skull could launch nuclear missiles and command nuclear - powered satelites in the direction of key targets: Washington DC, New York, Los Angeles; he would have control of much of the nuclear armament of the US, and, at his discretion, black mail the United States into accepting his leadership, using a significant city in the US as a target to demonstrate his power, or, if he preferred, generate a world war, or bring about a world-government under his dictatorship, again demonstrating his power by manipulating nuclear weapons under his command, but not to simply one world capital--Paris or London, for example, but SEVERAL strategivally signifificant target-cities within the North American Treaty Organization - but he would only advance his demand for at least Free World leadership AFTER he had initiated World War III. And whom would Red Skull blame for these crippling, maybe killing, advances against NATO's major, strategically-located cities, anumber of which were located in the Fatherland: but self-aggrandizing, power-hungry, insane Red Skull did not care at all, he would blame those bogeymen of the West, Arab Terrorists!

"Yes!" Thought Red Skull to himself. "That is the best plan! I will in effect disarm "The land of the free and the home of the brave"! It is more complicated than my first idea, but while the world is fighting I will 'step in' and, as the Leader of the Free World I will begin the DESTRUCTION of not the Arab states, but by secret agreement but by secret agreement of support by them, - so that they will accept my Leadership of them, i will supply them with nuclear and satelite arms on the sly, and they will DESTROY THE ANCIENT ENEMY OF THE ARYAN RACE! I will merely force these states under my control, so that I will no longer be ruler of the West only but also the Arab states! - I will FORCE them under my control! - because of a mechanism that only I control, I will make the nuclear and satelite weapons to dessimate Israel that I gave them useless! totally disarmed! And - as far as Russia and China, well, they hate each other and I will, through false diplomatic messages, cause them to declare war on each other, and I will watch them totally DESTROY each other! And I will finish the work - what work is left--i will destroy them with nuclear might, and I will rule what's left! But the West! Ah! All will be mine!"

And so Red Skull devised his insane plan, in another underground headquarters, with its anti-radar and other brilliantly created and executed anti-detection operations that altogether hid it from any kind ofknowledge-of-existence of the United Syates Army and assorted NATO forces.

Yet, in spite of Red Skull's apparently-brilliant plan, World War II would not come about. Yes, he would attack or threaten to attack U.S. cities, but he himself would not claim responsibility. His intention was to send the most intelligent, most "diplomatic" of his henchmen to say it was Arab Terrorists who were to blame for these mindless attacks, and this same man, diplomatically credited by the US, which now would be on its knees - as he thought--and finally willing to negotiate with terrorists, and this man make a secret agreement with the most radical of Arab states, such as Afghanistan and Iran, would bring about, with - as he calculated - U.S. help, he would utterly destroy the State of Israel. THIS seemed to be the most important part of Red Skull's plan. But Red Skull left out ONE detail; there was one flaw to his intentions that revealed him as a complete madman: HOW would he in fact take control of the united States government? There was no black mail in his plans to force the government to give in to Red Skull's plans. I natead Red Skull had developed a complicated construct of destruction of key Free World cities, blame Arab Terrorist, send a totally unknown (though supposedly brilliant) diplomat, seemingly dropping down from the skies, who would would arbitrate a most-unlikely "pact" between the most dangerous states of the Arab world and the United States to destroy irredeemably the Jewish State that the United Statess itself had played such a vital role in creating and then helping to protect. So, Red Skull's insane anti-Semitic thirst for blood would be quenched, but the key parts of his plan to become Master of the West had either not yet been developed or were non-existence, Red Skull just assuming he would waltz into--wherever the "New White House" would be and take over - but THAT was the plan of a child--or a madman.

But if Red Skull did cause the launch computers to develop a virus that only he could correct - with the adjunct that only he could control through a password known only to him - would make Red Skull the most poweful man in the world - a force to be reckoned with. And, because of his sinister but sure-to-be successful measures to rid Area 51 of its massive guard and, perhaps most important of all, Red Skull's access to the super-secret password known only to the President of the United States and SHIELD, an organization of superheroes among whom were Spider Man, though without superstrenth was yet the most formidable enemy of Red Skull, after Captain America whom he knew was, though not exactly a member of SHIELD had anintimate connection with it, and was himself somewhat under, if not authority then powerful inflence, of Nick Fury, Chief of SHIELD. Captain America had made his mysterious return from - a place that he did not even himself remember, though some of those who "were in the know" about such thing conjectured that Cap, who was the ablest US soldier in the Second World War, was taken in by an "alien" tractor beam that transported him to an Earthlike planet the soldiers of which Cap was called on to train, in return for which he would not age at all from the time of his abduction until his return. Some found the idea of these "UFO fraks" to be laughable, but came up with other, seemingly implausible answers. Cap didn't know - but maybe the U.S. govern ment and Nick Fury did, but they weren't talking.

How did Red Skull obtain this closely, seemingly - impregnably - guarded password, if not fom the President then from SHIELD?

Red Skull obtained by hypnotism, a very advanced kind, once again developed by the Nazis, in the hopes that they could hypnotize political and military leaders of the Allies into negotiating a peace very favorable to Germany, but the Nazis were destroyed before they could perfect this hypnotic method. However, in Uruguay, under the supervision of Dr. Josef Mingele, the "Angel of Death" at Auscwitz, this kind of hypnotism was perfected, and under an incredibly-authentic disguise of several SHIELD agents, captured Nick Fury, the Head of Shield, and forced him to undergo this perfected, advanced form of hypnitism. The men obtained the passwords to both the computer launching nuclear weapons and satelite beams, and the computer that controlled all information of enemy activity to SHIELD, which was the first line of defense against the very activity that Red Skull was involved in. When Fury came to himself, after one hour of sleep, he had no memory of what had happened. But, the chief psychiatrist who had hypnotized Fury left him with the hypnotic command that he would feel well and that nothing was wrong; he had merely fallen asleep at his desk. So Fury suspected no evil.

Soon Red Skull had what he needed; then he put into operation his plan to virtually empty Area 51 headquarters, leaving only a skeletal crew, which Red Skull would put under a very powerful sedative gas, guaranteed to last for hours.

At last Red Skull was ready. He had a stealth helecopter that could hover over a target indefinitely. He called his daughter, Sin, whom he did not so much think of as a daughter as just another tech scientist, to his presence. He had her trained in all of the latest computer technology, and he knew she was the one to undermine the United States Government, and the world's peace.

"Sin!" he screamed through the intercom in her office, "Come to my office at once!"

The girl ran to her father's office as fast as she could. When she arrived the auburn haired, blue eyed, fair skinned "Aryan" arrived at her father's office as fast as she could, totally out of breath.

"Yes, Father!"

"Daughter!" said Red Skull, without a trace of the loving affection that usually accompanies that name, "I command you to board the helicopter that I have in the aiefield on the surface! You will be flown to Area 51 Headquarters! You will hover over the Headquarters and a ladder will be dropped for you. You will find all the Headquarters empty, so you may "waltz" into the main office and and go directly to the Tech Center and, using the appropriate passwords I have given you, you will first disable SHIELD and then alter the main computer so that it will only respond to MY password, and I will be able to control it from the helicopter--or ANY place the world! You have already been given your complete instructions from my 'second-in-command,' right?"

"Yes indeed, my Father!" Sin answered.

"Good! Everything is ready! Begone! Now!" said Red Skull who, expecting no reply, returned to what he was doing.

Soon Sin found the copter hovering directly over the field. She climbed down the lowered ladder and easily entered the building. She found it strange that the front doors were unguarded, but actually the guards had been "chloroformed" by two of Red Skull's agents and dragged inside. Amazingly, the building was deserted!

Sin followed the precise directions Red Skull's chief lacky had given her and explained, and soon she found herself in the techroom, where the major computers were. Sin was only comcerned with two of them, which were identified in accordance to size--it seemed simple, but it also seemed to the Americans to be the most sensible way of identifying them: also, no one would suspect that the major computers, those of SHIELD and of nuclear weapons, could be so clearly identified. But The Americans also knew that the tecnical minds of spies and criminals would NEVER suspect this; but Red Skull had known about it for a long time through his advanced network of spies.

Sin was ordered by her father to completely reprogram the SHIELD computer so that, first, it would not detect any unauthorized activity at the Area 51 Headquarters, and second, give Red Skull complete control of the SHIELD system, so that Red Skull could disable ALL the computers that controlled the daily activities of SHIELD agents. Sin was alone in the office, as she thought. She saw that everything was working out precisely as her criminal fater had planned, and an evil smile appeared on her lips as she sat at the SHIELD computer She was, as she thought, all alone.

Sin thought she was alone - alone to destroy SHIELD, which her father hated. Red Skull was jealous of Nick Fury, and planned to kill him - in due time. Alongside Captain America, Red Skull hated Fury the most; and he knew this brilliant, top agent of SHIELD--and the United States government, had a hand in the return of his mortal enemy, Captain America, as youthful as he was in the Second World War.

Even though her father did not love her and treated her as nothing more than a lacky, sin was devoted to her father. He had given her perpetual youth; the syrum that prolonged life for so long was when Sin underwent the administration of it made to prolong youth indefinitely, so that Sin would remain 22 years old for some time, maybe 100 years! And she would remain in her 20's for more than a thousand years! The length of her life, the years she would live, would be incalculable! Again, it can't be said that Red Skull "loved" his daughter, yet he lauded his ever-present Nazi ideals of a "Master Race" that was destined to rule the world, and if Red Skull's plans for a coup de'tats of the U. S. Government - by stealth rather than force - his kind of "diplomacy' her father would have no choice but to acknowledge her indepensability to his new government, and once Red Skull had achieved his goal of world domination, the United States in his back pocket and Israel irreocably, forever destroyed, Sin was sure that Red Skull would give her provinces of his Imperial government to rule, eventuall, so she thought, in her own right. But most of all, perhaps, Sin admired her father BECAUSE he trusted her with the annihilation of American defenses, turning them under the control of Red Skull. As far as SHIELD was concerned, she was determined not only to disable it by blinding its eyes to Red Skulls insane and yet ever-so-dangerous - even achievable - take-over of THE computer for the launching of nuclear weapons in defense of the U. S., she had decided to counterfeit arrest warrents for her father's chief enemies, Fury, Captain America (a member of the Avengers, including the powerful Hulk and the lesser god of Asgard, Thor, the legendary Lord of Thunder, the leadership of which Cap shared with the fabulously wealthy and brilliant scientist Tony Stark) and, for good measure, Spider Man, second only to Fury in the leadership, an incredibly irritating thorn in the side to Red Skull. Sin was certain Spider-Man, the cleverest and most fortunate and compassionate superhero in the world, would never be captured by ordinary means, so decided to make him Public Enemy Number One in place of her father. She would put a bounty on him - 2 million dollars alive, 1 million dollars for his cold, dead body, and Sin felt certain that Red Skull's Neo-Nazis, who would replace the police, the FBI, the CIA, the Secret Service, Shield, the Avengers, and all other law efoecement and government protecting agencies, Red Skull's ablest assassins, would line up to kill or capture Spider-Man - though Sin knew her father would want him alive, if only to torture him, turn him into an obedient slave through his scientists' perfected hypnotic spell, torment him by turning him into a raging monster, or only have the pleasure at last of unmasking him himself and then murder him through torture. She was sure Red Skull would applaud these false arrests.

Sin was an accomplished computer "wiz" and, as she was imgining her future glory in the world, and, yes, because of the length of her life and youth, sure to eceed that of her father - who indeed "died" of a heart attack while battling Captain America - Sin knew she would ascend to godhead, with the power of life and death over the Earth's population, she was quickly gaining access to the computer that operated the activities of SHIELD, and her smile turned into evil laughter.

But unseen by Sin, blending in by means of a suspected but never proven super ability to become a "chamilian," into the color and shape of the white walls that surrounded computer headquarters, was the mysterious, almost unknown superheroine Agent 13 - of SHIELS or the Avengers - even that much was not known about her: her name was known, Sharon Carter, and people knew she had blond hair, blue eyes, a tall and shapely figurem a beautiful face - the perfect - rumored girlfriend of Captain America. While Sin looked on with delight on her wicked work to not only cripple but effectively destroy SHIELD, its success just moments away, Sharon Carter - whom some knew only as Agent 13 or "Carter," who had been assigned to protect at all tmes AREA 51 against such things as sabbatage, which Sin busied herself with in regard to SHIELD - at the moment - this girl Carter had decided an on-the-spot punishment for the evil, Nazi sabbateur was called for. Agent 13 and Sin had one thing in common only: they were both near 22 years old. Other than that, they were complete opposites. To assist Sharon in her punishment of Sin the superheroine found and picked up a medium-length computer cord which doubled over would make a splendid whip.

When Sharon emerged Sin was grinning, laughing, at her near success. "What's so funny, Sin?" Sharon asked a shocked, horrified Sin, whose father had made the serious mistake of sending unarmed.

"Wer... Who are du" asked a startled Sin, "Was... how... was bist du hier?" demanded the girl, calling Sharon by the familiar du instead of the formal, polite Sie in addressing people she didn't know who were of age.

Sharon said "I KNOW of your fathers scheme to "Nazify" the world! I also know that you are his daughter - but actually high-ranking thug in your father's technical crew, that you tried to kill Captain America, that you were one of those who helped to - somehow - save your father's mind from the Hell that was its due - and I also know that this very consciouness turned the donor's facial features into a red skull! - I know that you are guilty of many crimes that would send someone else to jail for the rest of their live, and YOU would be in jail for thousands of years! and I also know you are here to at least disable and make useless SHIELD, and afterward to gain control for your fath - no, MASTER! control of the nuclear launching and satelite activating computer system, giving him effective control over all he surveys! And you believe, you wicked, Nazi trash! you BELIEVE that you will rule one day when your master finally goes to Hell? Sin, Red Skull's gift to you of long, long life does not take into account such things as assassination, execution by you "dear old dad" for even contemplating his death - and believe me, my girl! He WILL find out, sooner or later; you could die in battle, you could die in a severe car accident, you could be hit by a bus! You're NOT Superman! You're not invulnerable, neither are you immune to pain: you feel it like any other girl!" Sharon decided that it would be pointless to send this girl, who might still be 22 years old when released - to prison. "NO!" Sharon thought to herself "This girl has to be punished, but she has to be punished IMMEDIATELY - in a manner she won't forget, in a manner that will keep her away forever from Area 51, maybe from all computers, for many, many years! And Sin will also know that there is someone watching out for HER explicitly! someone who would discipline her - very painfully - if her Nazi, criminal butt were involved in any other crimes!"

As Sharon emerged and "busted" Sin, she was thinking all this in an instant; but it only took an instant for Sin to rise from her chair in front of the computer and run for the door as quickly as she could - her laughter stopped, her smile faded. But Sharon was trained well-enough, and Sin's way out of the door was barred, in less than an instant.

Sin soon developed a smirk on her face. "Zo?" she said in her heavy German accent, "du wouldst zend me to prison? HA! Du will be older san me when I am zet frei! JAIL? Was ist das zu mir? Ven Ich am released - vell, everyone who zent me sere wouldst be tod, und ich STIIL 22!"

Sharon smiled. "I know, Sin. I know. But there are other ways of punishing bad girls than by sending them to jail - in fact I prefer these methods, one in particular." She had been hiding it behind her back and Sin had no idea of it presence. It was now that Sharon introduced her to the lose computer cord that would serve as Sharon's instrument of punishment - on Sin's evil, criminal bottom! And Sharon would use all her strength to discipline this very, VERY bad girl.
