While nothing of his concern or sympathy for the woman left him, at her words, Steve froze. He wanted to focus on the edge of panic to her voice, to attempt to soothe away the strained sound of her voice and ease her back to her assurance that her friend had survived whatever they had gone through. That the man was safe, no matter what he may or may not remember.

For a moment he said nothing at all, but instead gaped blatantly at her as his thoughts tripped over themselves and left him nothing to say of any coherency. And then, finally, he spoke. "I'm sorry, but did you say Agent Coulson?"

The fact that she had spoke of rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D. when he had risked his life along with his friends and allies to take the agency down for good was a note he would have to return to, but in that moment he focused particularly on the mention of a man who was supposed to have been long dead.
