Oh yeah, I get that. Sorry for all the questions. It was 2014 when I left, and I'm a New Yorker. Born in Brooklyn, if you know it?

[Honestly, he couldn't complain that much about Erik keeping secrets. Steve wasn't exactly spilling his life story either. Then again, he couldn't exactly go around telling people he was looking for an assassin so he could try to deprogram him before he killed a bunch more people. That sorta thing made people think of white coats and padded rooms.]
