Let's be honest here; for the remaining two living Avengers, 'volatile' still applies in a big way. Steve was counting on the remnants of military discipline in his younger self. That we have orders; we should follow them instinct that he clung to for a while even after the Chitauri invasion, when he was working for SHIELD. He's never been great with authority, but it took a lot to really shake him. It took--
Oh, Christ. He's made a huge tactical error. He should have told the younger Tony something else. Anything but the truth he actually shared, which he should have guessed might leave Tony's lips at some point, too. "If they talked to each other, we may be fucked," he tells his Tony.
Because of course hearing HYDRA survived within SHIELD would send his younger self off the deep end. "Can FRIDAY tell whether Loki's still in containment on the carrier?"
Because if not, they're going to have to make a big adjustment in plans, but otherwise, they've got no better ideas than Plan A for the moment.
[[Not a problem at all! I'm in VA bracing for a lot of rain from the hurricane so I am probably facing power outages over the next few days. In case I go quiet for a while, that's probably why.]]
