Bruce wasn't sure if he would ever be able to face Orange County again, let alone Betty. He wasn't entirely aware of every little detail that had happened that day at the courthouse, but he did know that he had hurt the one person who had always supported him. The guilt was overwhelming. It was too much for him to handle and all of the emotions about his own courtdate and the mess he'd managed to make of his life had come back to him. At first he hadn't intended on coming back. Tony and Betty were better off without him. He still believed that, but at the same time he knew if he stayed away it just meant he was being a coward. Tony needed him. So did Betty.
Bruce spent weeks as a dirty hippy trying his best to stay as far away from humans as possible. He didn't want to have another outbreak, but after over a month without an incident he decided he could go back. Go back and tell Tony that he needed some time off. Tell him it was too much. Tell him he'd be back one day, say his goodbyes, but it didn't exactly work that way. The old offices were closed down and he was directed to the new Stark Industries building.
Bruce hadn't been expected that many cars and people dressed up. It was just like Tony to make that sort of statement so Bruce made his way for the side door, but security turned him around thinking him a bum.
