He can't lose either one of them or he doesn't know what he'd become, anymore. He snakes his arm back around Steve, clutching more than hugging, and nods shakily. He's staying with them.
"Can we shoot them," he asks. That might make him feel a little better. It might well be their fault Yelena's dead.
