It's been a long time since Steve has been shocked. Exactly 102 days, in fact. But seeing Tony Stark walk back into the Commissary this morning was not something the Captain had anticipated dealing with.
He doesn't approach right away because he just can't. There are people who want his attention and a Special he was attempting to understand better — leaving mid-sentence would just sabotage that effort. But Steve took particular care that morning to check the rosters for Tony's service firm position.
Given his current rank and position within the Armed Forces, he has the ability to drop by other sectors now, just to check on their security measures. He'd be paying a special visit to wherever Tony was stationed that afternoon.
I know I'm backtagging but there's no way Steve wouldn't have seen Tony on his first day (mun fail)
