It was harsh, but Bruce wasn't offended, he knew that underneath the bravado and the bluster that Tony was a pretty insecure man with low self esteem. He probably needed to be harsh in order to make himself feel as though he might be in control of this situation, and so Bruce nodded affably and came over to clap a hand on Tony's shoulder gently.

"Don't try and lie about that, we both know that a blue space princess is a dream come true for us both. No scientist who ever lived hasn't dreamed of meeting a blue-skinned woman at least once, why do you think there were so many movies about it?"

He smiled, allowing Tony to pretend that this was all normal again. No problems, no issues.

"She really is small compared to them though, isn't she?"
