At least Jason is well-armed. It's better to be more prepared than helpless, and Steve doesn't blame him for wanting to be armed with everything they're up against. He travels light because he's always been able to rely on his environment and a few choice tools rather than weapons like some of the other heroes. Still, he respects the method. And he readily takes Jason's hand when he offers it, shaking it firmly.
"That's what we're here for," he agrees. "Steve. I'm glad we have you here."
He can tell that at least Jason is experienced. He's calm when he talks about the monsters in a way that isn't bluffing. It's familiar. Steve likes that.
"Okay, we're here. And it looks like we aren't a minute too soon."
The area of the fence they approach is a mess, only holding together by luck and some frantic Perimeter Guards that are trying to reinforce the spot while fending off predators. Steve doesn't see anything he'd call a monster at first, but it is clear that the damage was done by something bigger than wolves or even a bear. Great. It was still there, hiding at the edge of the trees and waiting for a chance to charge when the Guard left an opening.
