Before today, he's just seen what the Hulk can do from a pretty good distance. Sam usually takes advantage from higher ground, helping with aerial recon and definitely search and rescue when times get pretty bad and out of hand.
But, usually, those "out of hand" times mean civilians and not Bryce Banner herself. There's usually other people for that.
Today, however. Today is different. The destruction is on too large of a scale for anyone to get to easily. It's Tony or Sam and Tony's busy trying to evacuate a partially collapsed building (those repulsors, man, quite cool, if Sam were to say so himself—which he would), so Steve gives the extraction order to Sam. And Sam dutifully pretends he doesn't see that strange look cross over Steve's face.
He circles back around, heading back to where he'd seen the last huge plume of dust and smoke and debris. It's mostly quiet by the time he gets there, so he assumes the Hulk has disappeared for now and Bryce is somewhere in this disaster area. Landing carefully on a jutty, he peers down trying to spot any movement.

"Banner? You down there?"
