Bruce's mouth isn't really where the action's at just then. His brows draw down while he runs through the implications, calculating and considering before he shakes his head and shrugs. Yesterday there might have been more reaction than that, but yesterday he'd been kind of a different guy.

"You own the patent on the serum but that clearly hasn't kept Steve off of any arrest lists. You can't rescind it from either of us. The only real threat here with your owning the patent is if you do something incredibly stupid like try to make more of either of us, and you aren't going to do that, right?" That serum is like Pandora's Box. The world had gotten lucky the first time it had been used; they'd gotten Hope in the form of one genuinely good man.

Then they'd gotten Hulk.

"And it would have been nice if you'd told me this years ago when I was trying everything to undo what I did to myself." And there's the sticking point where Tony's very lucky he told Bruce today and not yesterday.
