Bruce hadn't been sure if Tony was lying about getting shot in an attempt to get Bruce out of his cave or not. So, he looked it up. Sure enough it was all over the internet. There were even some rumors about a mysterious procedure that saved his life. Still, Bruce wouldn't put it past Tony to make any of it up and pay to get the story published just to get Bruce to enter 'real life' again.
It had been five years since the trial and almost six since the incident. They say that time heals all wounds, but Bruce had a hard time believing that. He still felt the same way he did the day Betty died. Even getting off of murder charges on technicality didn't feel right to Bruce. He should have gone to jail. He was a monster. He hadn't murdered her, but he may as well have. There were even times during the trial that the prosecution had him convinced that he had done it and he was there.
So, Bruce coming out of hiding for Tony was kind of a big deal, but they had a bond... something he didn't have with anyone else. And he certainly wouldn't have come out of hiding for anyone else short of Betty herself.
He showed up in the hospital room with a bouquet of flowers in hand. He was holding them awkwardly as he entered, one hand in his pocket. "You really did get shot," he said.
