Whether it's mind control or manipulating people, it's bad news, and Steve's not exactly thrilled that Loki has once again become a thorn in his side now that he's back in Wonderland. Granted, he's been keeping to himself for the most part, apparently having learned his lesson after the last time. There's the other Loki too, but both Billy and Verity insist that he's searching for redemption.

"Yeah, we found it." Steve nods slowly, closing his eyes for a second as he recalls the mess that find had led them down. "Stark and Banner decided that they wanted to study it for a few days before Thor took it back to Asgard, but they used the data they found to work on something else -- without telling the rest of us."

It's something that still stings when Steve thinks back on it. They were supposed to be a team, but when his subordinates decided to sneak around or go over his head, that's when the entire thing fell apart. He thought that taking down SHIELD would fix that, but obviously not. It makes the muscles in his throat go tight, and he swallows around it.
