The gain for me, was that you were not my enemy. To find the three of you here, three of those who saw me dead in my own life awaiting me also in the next? Where I am drained of my strength and my freedom? It was... a concern for me.
T'was clear enough from the first that your Captain remembered and hated me. With The Black Widow... perhaps she does not recall, but he's told her enough that I can't speak without her accosting me in private to interrogate my motives.
But you... you didn't remember me. And for whatever reason they did not tell you to remember me, and perhaps I did not want to immediately be set against all three of you again.
