Sam hadn't been aware the air wasn't clear, but he holds his tongue until Frank says his peace. After all, unlike most of the people he seems to go toe to toe with, Sam knows when to keep his mouth shut.
He's not necessarily surprised when Frank reveals he knows about Sam's current occupation. Sam hadn't exactly kept a low profile back home and Peggy had already been proof against what Jo had said. Jo made it sound like other people being here from your home world was rare, but Peggy had already proven to him that it was likely to happen. Granted, she was from several decades before he'd even been born, but that was beside the point. No, that wasn't so surprising -- even if the chances did seem slim in such a small group as it was.
No, the surprising bit came when Frank said his last name. Sam lets the name roll around in his head: Frank Castle. He frowns, because like the man's face the name is familiar. However, Sam had been through a lot before coming here and now he'd been here for a month without access to the internet or even a damn newspaper. Frank Castle. It was something big, or at least, big for domestic news. Maybe he'd been hanging out with the big leagues too long.
Finally he admits, "The name's familiar. You'll have to forgive me if I don't remember...even before we got here things were a little crazy on the whole Avenger front." And that wasn't even counting his whole side quest of locating Barnes for Steve.
He is looking at Frank more closely now, not necessarily studying him or anything, but just trying to place the face. His thought about the news does seem like the right track though, "You were in some kind of news story...I thought I recognized your face from somewhere when I first saw you, though at the time I wasn't sure if it was from back in my active duty days or not."
