"I'm not sure if I need it or not." Steve might be comparing, but he's clearly not liking what he's seeing, given how much he's been avoiding them. And everyone else has... admittedly done a pretty good job of acting like they aren't the same as whoever was here before. "But I appreciate the thought."
They go for another broken cookie piece. "HYDRA used me as their personal assassin for. I'm not sure how long. Decades. Maybe seventy years. When I wasn't on a mission or in training or being punished, I was in cryofreeze." They consider the cookie a moment, and whether to share the worst part. No one here knows it. Maybe not even Steve. ... It's probably safer not to share. Even if they like Ghost, even if he can be trusted, the fewer people know there's Words that terrify them, the better. Instead, they say, "I don't even remember anymore how many people I killed."
