When Peter starts them off, Steve thinks it'll finally go alright. Sure, this guy is a total goof. He's increasingly sure that his partner is 90% of the reason why they saved the galaxy twice. That's fine. He's sure he must put up a decent fight when it counts even if he doesn't play a tough guy pretty well.
Then Gamora speaks and he just looks tired in response. If he has to fight people who could be his allies for the millionth time, he's moving to the Barton farm. Fuck this already. The look he gives Tony pretty much says as much. He rather live on a farm than go through this again.
Tony comes through for him though so he relaxes. This woman, Gamora, seems less inclined to cut off their heads now. He reaches out to squeeze his friend's shoulder in gratitude before moving properly to his side again. The only way he knows how to get past this kind of defense is honesty. He lays out their motivation plainly.
"We lost a lot of innocent people when he had someone invade us the first time. We're not going to give him a chance to do it again to us or anyone else. Enough is enough." They're taking a stand. This is mostly due to Tony's proactiveness, but still. He'd feel a lot better about it if the team was bigger considering what damage Thanos' army did when only commanded by a lackey. When someone considers a trickster god a lackey, he knows they're serious business.
