[Once upon a time, Captain America saved the life of a sixteen year old boy from Hell's Kitchen who actually got away with lying on the enlistment form. Like many people who meet a larger life figure in the middle of a bloody, horrific war he doesn't forget. When it gets out to the public that the famous sniper who watched his back is apparently alive, this now much older man sees his chance to repay a debt.
Steve barely remembers the incident, but he makes sure he knows that they are good with this. He has no idea how this will pan out, but Natasha isn't against it. Steve is desperate enough to hope this Jessica Jones will do better. (Yes, it does help that apparently she is inclined to believe that he was brainwashed. He's a real jerk sometimes.)
Steve's not terribly surprised when she doesn't find him. She does get more information than anyone else save for Natasha. For that, he's grateful.]
It's enough, Ms. Jones. [He smiles sincerely despite his exhaustion.] Probably for the best anyways. It wasn't right of me to ask for anymore than this.
