Okay, the full story. He deserved to hear the whole thing anyway. Steve braced himself for a moment, thinking about where to really begin. Guess the very start would help.
"Red Skull's death wasn't the end of HYDRA. They survived, including Zola. The SSR hired him because of his knowledge, but he brought HYDRA into the organization, growing like a parasite." He remembered everything that computer told him and how his sacrifice meant nothing. Maybe some of it was true, but they stopped Project Insight in the end. That was something. He just needed to take down the rest of that organization.
"Some people found out, like your father. So, they couldn't leave that be. Hired... an assassin to kill him." He figured that Tony would get the hint now, but if not, guess he would have to go the fully direct route.
