Close enough. Steve's eyebrows tic in recognition; either this guy was going to work out ideally, or things were going to get complicated for them both. He hasn't been purposely keeping Captain America a secret, but it's not the way he identifies himself unless he's dealing with a crisis.
"Really? I had a special contract with the US government myself," he nods. "Though, currently my direct employment isn't affiliated with any government."
Or so they say. S.H.I.E.L.D. likes to keep its secrets, but who it's in bed with isn't one they're particularly good at keeping. The answer is: everyone. Steve was an army hero, a World War II captain, and Captain America; the United States wasn't exactly about to give him up, but they could put him on loan with an organization they had large stock in.
He smiles lopsidedly. "I wonder if the people here knew what they were doing when they put us together."
