[And when Peter says that, what can Bruce do? He's never been good at handling confrontations, doubly so when its something as complicated as this. Bruce always steps back and doesn't push even though he knows he should, but at the same time pushing people is a risk for him. Because if he pushes and they push back... well, enough people know what happens after that.
So he steps back. Because its the only thing he knows how to do, and because he's always been expecting this to happen eventually. People find out about the other guy and then avoid him. That's how things had been. Have been. Are still being.
(Was it stupid of him, to hope otherwise?)]
Okay, If you don't want to, I won't.
[Okay.]
Thank you.
[Time to cut his losses and move on. That's how things always had been, until SHIELD and Tony and Somarium.

Fine. He's fine. This isn't the first time.
Just the first time in a long enough while.]
