Steve has already decided that a move will probably bring them both into the line of fire, but the options they have are non existent. HYDRA will come for them. It’s not a matter of if so much as when. Steve doesn’t regret leaving his helmet behind, though. His tracking device isn’t in the helmet, but he imagines that HYDRA might have a way of tapping into the communication signal the Avengers are probably bombarding at the moment.
This whole thing is risky, but obviously Bucky had risked a whole lot more coming to speak with him, finally, instead of just running off on his own.
Steve squints, head tilting as he does the easy math in his head. “Minute and a quarter for you. Minute and a half for me.”
Bucky’s faster than he is, something he’ll dwell on later.
“Normally I would say not to pull your punches, and I’d never want you to let me win, but they won’t know you.” Sam might, Steve spoke about his old best friend to his new best friend many, many times. Tony barely remembers faces, though, and almost nothing of what Steve says seems to stick with Iron Man. The others he can’t read at all. He’s not going to try to guess their reactions to Bucky. “I’m going to ask for a twenty second head start,” he says just before shooting by Bucky’s left. He hadn’t thought about the chance there might be of Bucky going the opposite way.

Not until he’s already moving.
