We'll find out next week, but I think that the specter was fall out from the helicarrier's destruction. I think it was in SHIELD custody for study and reverse engineering until the destruction and Strucker had an undercover agent get it. Thor took the Tesseract; he would have taken the scepter. So SHIELD did not tell him, since he did not ask for it. "Guns don't kill people; people with guns kill people." The scepter is only as good/bad as its wielded...

As for Hawkeye, I think he is rescuing the twins from Strucker solo. After you've fought an alien invasion, HYDRA is small potatoes...
