When he showed up, Vision was the one who let him in. It's still strange seeing this being that they created and not wanting to wince away from it. He has to remind himself that Vision isn't Ultron, that the fact that he can pick up Thor's hammer is a test to the fact that he's safe if not entirely benevolent. He's told that Tony's away on business and offered a room at the all too empty compound. He can see the signs of the others everywhere he looks, even though he knows that they're fugitives now. It leaves him feeling uneasy and does nothing to fan down the flames of rage that have been threatening to consume him since he saw the news reports.
He accepts the room, all glass windows and modern furniture and plays the words he's going to say over and over again in his head as he waits for Tony's return. The sun sets, the late night shows come and go and he's still pacing across his room and waiting for Tony to return. He knows Vision probably told him about his arrival, so it doesn't feel entirely like an ambush, but even if it did, Bruce isn't sure he'd care.
He moves out of his room when it hits midnight, exploring the deserted compound through half lit rooms. He knows he won't be able to sleep until he sees Tony and so he doesn't even try. If Tony thinks his anger will be tempered by daylight, he's wrong. It's only been feeding on itself for the last few days. It speaks to how much better Bruce has gotten at controlling it that he hasn't given in and let the other guy take over.
It's only by sheer luck that he happens to be in the living room when the elevator doors open and Tony steps out. Bruce freezes, staring at the worn down looking man in front of him. If he wasn't so angry, he'd actually be concerned at the fact that Tony looks like he's aged ten years in the last two.
