[ Steve can't imagine how the knowledge that your best friend had died for you would affect interactions, but he also can't get in the way of Natasha and Clint. The bond they have is special and personal and it's not Steve's place to try and mediate. The two of them will always figure things out and find a way to be okay again, that he's certain about.
It's when Natasha loses some of her confidence when she mentions Bruce that Steve finally closes the distance between them, crossing the rest of the room to sit on the couch next to her. He almost reaches out for her hand, but decides against it. He doesn't want to overwhelm her. ]
Yeah, that's gonna be tough. Wish I had advice for you, but he's probably going to want to figure out some way to save you too.
[ All considerations of science and logic forgotten, at least temporarily, because the heart didn't always have to make sense. Bruce would circle back to what he knew in the end, though, or that was Steve's guess.
Would he Hulk out? Steve can't help but wonder at the practical question, but he won't give voice to it. Chances are that Natasha's already asked herself the same question. ]
