[ Fitz definitely needs to think some more before he speaks, or it's going to be Steve's foot crammed into his mouth. Sparing Darcy's feelings? Shortcomings? Does he even realize what he sounds like right now?
While Steve might be angry on Darcy's behalf, though, it looks like she's more than prepared to handle it herself. Steve isn't actually expecting her to opt for physical harm at first, and when he notices the shift in her body language and the way that she's sizing up the area around her, it's already too late.
Steve lunges forward to grab for Darcy, but by the time he does so she's already knocked Fitz to the floor. It could have been worse, but she shouldn't have let it degenerate to physical violence in the first place. ] Darcy -- [ Steve drags her a few feet back. ] Come on, that isn't going to solve anything. [ Says the guy who used to pick fights with bullies on the daily, but this isn't about him right now.
Steve turns Darcy around, then clasps both his hands on her shoulders in a grounding gesture. He nods toward the lab's exit. ] Look, go take a breather. I'll handle this. [ Which is Steve's way of saying that he's about to give Agent Fitz the lecture of his lifetime. ]
