His expression goes hard, but it's clear the iron in it isn't direct at her - he's thinking back again, his eyes seeing Schmidt above the flaming remains of a factory, the soldiers held prisoner there turned loose on their guards. Steve's voice stays gentle, but there's absolute solidity in his tone. "I do understand. But I promise, as long as you're here, no one will take you anywhere you don't want to go or do anything to you that you aren't willing to do. I won't let them."

Steve blinks, coming back to himself, and gives her a little nod that somehow manages to look like a salute. He picked that one up from Howard. "If you'll follow me, there's a fitness area near the pool and a steam room, if you'd like to relax after you speak with Agent Coulson."
