The look he gives Peter after both stern and gentle. He gets the guy is probably making a joke, but this also happens to be one of the things Steve takes very seriously. "I served my country during the bloodiest conflict in human history. I couldn't forget the realities of war if I tried." He lets Tony take it away. It's relieved that he's getting them moving. Sure he's impatient, but the less time they waste testing each other, the better. He follows after Tony, going over the team data. While it's fairly anonymous, he sees no reason to hide their strengths from the Guardians otherwise.
"The Avengers is a team of the best our world has to offer. My partner is a genius which doesn't sound like much until you factor in he was smart enough to use the stupidity of the leadership on Earth to end the invasion. He's responsible for most of the prep work we've done for this. I feel the work you'll see in here will speak to his value better than anything else I can say." In other words, the building and its contents are his. Be suitably impressed that one guy has done this and more.
"As for the rest of us, we have a master marksman, the greatest spy on Earth whose most of the reason we were able to get that door shut, an enhanced assassin, a prince of Asgard who wields thunder, a young woman whose power comes from one of the infinity stones, a being who wields it on a daily basis, a guy who turns into a close to invincible monster when he gets angry and spends his calm time as another incredibly valuable genius, a career soldier wielding a weapon he made-" He cants his head to indicate Tony. "We've got a flying soldier who got his start in pararescue which makes him both one of the toughest soldiers on Earth and an expert at getting people out of hot spots alive, a man who can change sizes and is another genius we can count on. He has a partner of his own who can change size, fly, and is generally better than him. We don't employ her yet, but she's the daughter of two of Earth's greatest heroes so we can count on her to join us the second things get really bad. We've also got a kid trainee, but due to his age we're not getting him involved in this until it's absolutely necessary. He's another genius with super strength and the ability to stick to walls. Way more valuable than you'd think." The sticking to walls and genius part. They've got a ton of smart people on their side. If that's not impressive, he doesn't know what is. These are the people who are going to make sure everyone lives or rather as close to that as it gets.
"That's about everyone. We've always got a support staff in place as you can see. Best in every one of their respective fields. They're another reason we were able to end invasion and grow as strong as we have. And- I totally forgot to tell you what I do, huh?" Steve actually looks a little embarrassed. He's been so caught up in making sure everyone's value is represented that he never got to himself. He doesn't really have a great one liner for himself either.
"I don't know how much you two know about human aging, but I've been around longer than most. I'm close to a hundred years old." He rubs the back of his neck self-consciously. God he hates talking about himself. "I'm another enhanced soldier. I served in the war I mentioned earlier as a captain. I provide strategy, leadership, and this generally isn't my first time doing this. Thanos is actually my second megalomaniac wielding infinity stones. I was able to defeat first one with the right team fighting alongside me. That's my main value. I know how to beat guys like this and save as many as I can while doing it. I'm a lot better at this now than I was in my 20s." That's all he has to offer as far as he goes. "There are more forces to draw on, but I can already promise you they'll only be interested in helping if the fight is on Earth so consider this our main offer. Everyone mentioned we can call on for support anywhere and at any time."
