Steve can only watch in horror as Schmidt tosses the flesh-colored mask into the fire.
This is the fate that he avoided. Schmidt thinks it's made him superhuman, the next step in evolution--but Steve can only remember Dr. Erskine pointing at his heart and saying Stay who you are. A good man.
That's something Schmidt, for all his plots and plans and strength and speechifying, will never have.
"Unlike you," says Schmidt as he and the little doctor get into an elevator, "I embrace it proudly! Without fear!"
"Then how come you're running!" Steve shouts back.
In response the elevator doors slide closed.
The explosions are only growing more intense. The air is thick with smoke and ashes. Enough time has been wasted with Schmidt--it's time to go. There's a beam overhead that stretches to the other side of the factory--it looks like that's their way out.
"Come on," Steve tells Bucky, "up." They make for the nearest stairs.
