It wasn't a conventional Valentine's Day, but then again, these weren't exactly conventional times. There were aliens, and he was on a bunch of speed-dials for people who expected him to have some kind of solution to this. Fortunately, he probably could come up with something, it would just take time and data - neither of which he had in abundance, but at least one of them he could get more of.
He was aware that there was no proof that those people on his speed-dial weren't Skrulls, and that there wasn't proof that he wasn't a Skrull (JARVIS cheerfully kept him updated on the progress of Tony Stark Is A Skrull? threads on various boards). But without information, he couldn't do anything at all, and that would be worse. He'd just have to trust that he hadn't helped a Skrull break into SHIELD, and if he had, well, at least he had some biological schematics to work with for now. If he'd made things worse, he'd fix it, but right now, he had work.
"Sir, Dr. Banner is at the door," JARVIS told him in the tone that meant he was expected to actually stop working and go greet his friend.
But Bruce would understand. "Let him in," Tony said as he circled his holographic table, expanding the working diagram he had that did indeed bear a faint resemblance to a breathalyzer. The problem with shapeshifters was, of course, that they'd register as human from cell to lung function, but Tony would cheerfully concede that while he was a genius, Biology was one of the things he didn't have a doctrate in. "Hey, Bruce," he called over to the good doctor. "Come and take a look at what I've got started."
