Bruce can forget about all the emotional baggage between the three of them when he realizes how bad off Phil seems to be. He watches him walk back with concern, and then comes over to examine him. The fondness in his voice doesn't go by without Bruce noticing, but he'll pull that out later, once he's checked Phil out. It occurs to him to worry that Phil is actually sick, and what if they had him on something that was keeping him alive? There's a terrible thought to have after the fact. Some doctor.
"A sandwich would probably be good for now. We should probably avoid anything too heavy or upsetting until your system has resettled." That's your cue, Clint. Fix the patient up a plate.
He hesitates for only a moment before he touches Phil's chin lightly, directing his face up so Bruce can look at his eyes. His hands slide under his jaw and to check his lymph nodes. He realizes he's holding his breath, and he lets it out on an exhale.
"We'll get you some water too," he says thickly, and he steps away. His hands come together in front of him, fingers locking together. "It'll help flush your system. As far as you know, did they have you on anything that you need? Clint and I can run reconnaissance and get it for you. If it comes down to it, if you describe the pill, I might be able to figure it out."
