Steve's been working at SHIELD for two years, right? He probably knows every guy on that elevator and owes his life to half of them, or they owe their lives to him. He knows their skills, their weak spots, what they like for lunch, who he'd be sending the condolence letter to if they bought it on a mission, where most of their scars come from, what Random Goon #3 wanted to name his dog before his now-ex-girlfriend intervened.

How much worse does that make it when the elevator ambush devolves into the gangbang porno it always not-so-secretly wanted to be?
