It's both better and worse than Steve's immediate fear. He doesn't have Stark's intellect, but he thinks in strategy and his brain has already made several skips and jumps forward. If he were a prisoner here and suddenly handed the opportunity to break out of a cell and overwhelm his guards, he would do exactly this: he would sit quiet, do whatever it might take to keep from alerting anyone in the outside that something was wrong, until the right moment. He would wait for a relief shift or commanding officer to arrive via air--because of course this thing has life rafts, but the chances of getting far from here fast in a life raft are nil. He would corner them, and take their plane, and get the hell out.
So, as he rushes to guard the door, his primary concern is that they must not get trapped in the control room. He misses what Tony spies on camera, and that says a lot about the two of them, about what each one prioritizes and how their M.O.s compliment one another. Tony hangs back to gather more intel. Steve reacts at breakneck speed, and he's usually able to survive and sustain his own recklessness.
He could have seriously gotten into trouble without the suit standing guard, though, this time. He was expecting an organized rebellion with a stealthy mastermind, not a raging monster.
(Maybe he's not giving the raging monster sufficient credit, though. It was clearly quiet enough to stalk them, even with the tremendous size and bulk. He's going to have nightmares. Like, extra ones. If he ever sleeps again.)
"Holy CHRIST, is that Blonsky?!" He's scrambling, off guard and horrified, but already making a point of putting himself between Tony and the creature. "He's supposed to be in Alaska, in cryo!"
Well, it kind of makes sense. If the Raft is a higher security prison and can normally sustain power for a cryo chamber, SHIELD might have moved the man there. Might have been fine if the power hadn't gone down (but then, who shut the power grid off?). The other possibility, of course, is that this is a completely unknown quantity of monstrous strength and psychosis, which might be even worse.
All Steve knows is that whoever or whatever it is, Tony is frighteningly vulnerable to it without his armor on, and whatever else happens here he has to live and get back safely.
