[He knows how difficult it must be for Howard, for him to suddenly be alive after so much time has passed. And the changes that this place has done to him; well, he can only begin to guess what Howard must think of those.

He wishes there was an easier way for him to reveal himself, but he's learned that sometimes it's best to tear off the band aid directly.

Steve feels a little self conscious watching Howard's expression as he takes in Steve's appearance, his large wings twitching behind him like they don't know whether to flare out to give the man a better look or remained tucked behind his back.

But when Howard finally speaks, tension eases out of Steve's shoulders as he listens to the other man's rambling. It's so familiar, the cadence and speed of his words, just flowing out of him. He can't help but compare it to Tony's. Tony's speech pattern is very similar, pure Howard with a bit of his own unique spin.]
