It takes Steve a long time to find the secret entrance.

(Secret entrance—god, the absurdity of it: it's not like he isn't faced with absurdities every day on the job, but something about the cleverly concealed door and the honest-to-god escape chute, the ludicrous economy of it, makes him want to laugh and maybe not stop. Of course there'd be a secret entrance; you couldn't walk the Winter Soldier through an active banking firm. He wonders whether HYDRA execs ever had to be brought in the back way, a bunch of old men in their crisp suits trying to climb down a metal ladder with any dignity at all.)
