Bruce seems to think of the room issue only once they've gotten back to his, and he can't help but frown thoughtfully as he hesitates on the threshold.
This isn't his house, not really; he doesn't just want to comandeer a room for Betty and hope that Tony's okay with it. On the other hand, though, he's not sure Betty would want to stay here, in this room, or how that would go, even if she did. In the time he's been here, JARVIS has woken him up from a handful of nightmares, not under Tony's orders but of his own accord, when it's seemed his vitals were spiking outside acceptable levels. What if JARVIS can't or won't wake him this time, what if Betty can't, what if something terrible happens? The battle against the Chitauri has boosted his self-esteem, knowing he can put the Hulk to good use, but there's still a part of him that never wanted this and is still afraid of it. There likely always will be.
"There's a couple of guestrooms a floor or two down that are still in one piece. Tony let me use one of them before this," he ventures finally, nodding into the room. "I don't think he'd mind if you borrowed it for however long." He hesitates and then adds, "Or you could stay here."
