Re: private: Bruce/Tony
[He steps back, watching Bruce hurry past. Aware somehow that lying to Bruce is going to cost him in the long run, he looks uncertain for a moment, and then puts his hand out to block the door just as it starts to close. Uncharacteristically serious:] Okay, the zapping was kind of an understatement. It's surprising he hasn't killed me yet, given the running score we have about who ended up in the hospital. [Embarrassed to be admitting this, clearly.] I just... don't want you to think I underestimate him. I don't want you to underestimate him. You're my friend too. [He gives the most awkwardest of short nods, catches Bruce's eye only at the very most edge of his, and then lets his hand drop and the doors slide.]
