All in all, Steve really wished he wasn't spending this whole time playing catch up. Tony should have given him more information so he would have been prepared for what might happen and who they were going up against.

Why wasn't Pepper being guarded? Tony made a threat against a terrorist. It only made sense they were going to go after the people he cared about. Steve didn't have a lot of answers and didn't have a plan of action, neither were things he appreciated.

If he took out Killian now, it might be easier to get to Tony's girlfriend. He wasn't sure if he could protect both Tony and this Maya, who apparently worked for AIM. Clearly she was mixed up in things that she shouldn't be. Did that make her a bad person? Not for him to decide.

So, Steve went for Killian first, he suspected the man wouldn't appreciate the shield bouncing off his chest very much.
