The team is pretty loyal; the chance of a power struggle isn't high under most circumstances. Of course, it probably also helps that Steve is the kind of leader who is more interested in the success of a mission than his own ego (not that he doesn't have one; he's just capable of setting it aside when there are more important things afoot).
He catches the beam with a little grunt; it's far more weight than any human being should be able to take, and he's not doing anything fancy like balling it up to put it in the pile on the ground, but he seems pretty competent. He's strong, and fast, and strangely graceful as he lunges from one task to the next. Once the debris are handled, he makes a circuit of the building to double-check for trouble, talks to one of the security managers there, and helps get a couple residents re-settled safely before regrouping with the STRIKE team.
More reports are coming in by now, with respect to what's actually happening, and they're being recalled back to base as soon as safely possible. Maybe it's to Steve's credit that he asks Superman politely to come along with them, rather than assuming or taking him into custody. It seems like they're on the same page yet again, either way, and the entire team returns to base via back roads, with Steve's motorcycle at the head, Superman flying alongside him.
Steve has to be debriefed alone first, by Fury, but they make short work of it. As much as they butt heads with their disparate philosophies, Steve and Nick Fury do share a common desire to get unstable situations restabilized quickly and with minimal fuss. After the solo discussion, Superman is brought in to meet the Director. He's stern, mincing no words in his attempt to make sure the cross-dimensional wanderer isn't there to cause trouble. Steve, in the meantime, seems to be politely defending him. He's taken a liking to Superman, and while his ability as a judge of character isn't flawless, he's pretty confident they can trust him.
Selvig is really who they need to consult with this matter, but he's not in the country, and it will take a little while to find him. In the meantime, there's no legal cause to keep the stranger in a holding cell, and there seems to be no real reason they need to, so Steve floats the idea of letting him have his guestroom for a while.
