(There are a thousand questions he wants to ask but he's not allowed, asking questions leads to the room and the chair and the sound of his own screams in his ears, he doesn't need to know, he doesn't need to know).
"Tell me about the man on the helicarrier. The one with wings."
He'd been given some intel about Fury, about Rogers himself, about the Black Widow and the people that were likely to stand in his way. The man with wings is an unknown variable, even if he hadn't seemed much of a physical threat, but he doesn't know who he is to Rogers.
