"I went in, took what I wanted, and left the rest behind." Which is to say, he took his people. What the hell was Steve going to do with the Ant-Man costume, anyway? He didn't want to screw up Lang's plea deal, or Barton's for that matter. They have kids, and he grew up without a dad at home, himself. (That's an old-fashioned way to look at things, maybe; some of Steve's anachronisms will stick with him until he's six feet under for good.)
Funny thing that the Raft has come up in conversation, because Steve has a few questions for Tony. It was up and ready so quickly, it had to have been there before the Accords were finished being drafted. It's logical; when you have superpowered aliens and dangerous AIs and enhanced humans running amok, someone--probably a lot of someones--will start working out ways to neutralize them. You have to. SHIELD did. Steve thought he might have recognized Tony's hand in some of the Raft technology, though, and that makes him wonder how much the man knew, and when he knew it.
Tony's motives, 99 times out of 100, are pretty pure, in Steve's eyes, except during the rare semi-psychotic emotional breakdown where he tries to murder Steve's best friend. They don't see ethics the same way, they don't see the world the same way, but in the end they generally both want to keep innocent people from getting hurt. So, to say he distrusts Tony after seeing the Raft setup would be an exaggeration. But he would love to know what was really going through the man's head, whether he was playing some kind of long con against Ross or whether he was truly just doing penance for the lives they all failed to save. The question will have to wait, as will any discussion about Wanda (who was, dear God yes, quite possibly the most powerful and dangerous individual on the planet until Thanos dropped in, and that's exactly why Steve wanted to help her), and Steve can only hope they both live to have it out.
"'We', huh?" Steve has to assume that means Tony doesn't trust him to go alone. Whatever. He doesn't exactly have a plane readily available anyway. "Is your new blue pal coming, too? You should probably try to be polite to the raccoon, by the way. I am dead positive he will bite you if he has a mind to."
Yeah, they're going to hate each other. It'll be fascinating.
