The Corruptor has resurrected the super-villain known as the Night Flyer in order to track down the Hulk following the man-monster being sighted in Los Angeles. However, the search has yielded no leads. Night Fight reports back to his master, who demands that he continue his search or return to the death that the Corruptor saved him from. The Hulk is actually right under the Night Flyer's nose, hiding out in a nearby cave with his allies Rick Jones and Betty Ross. Talking with his friends, the Hulk explains that all he wants is peace. Rick tells the Hulk that's exactly what he wants to help the Hulk do too. When he recounts how Bruce Banner saved his life years earlier in the gamma explosion that turned Bruce into the Hulk, they explain to the Hulk that he and Bruce Banner are the same person. This revelation puts the Hulk into a rage as he refuses to believe not only that he is a "puny human" but also that he is the one he most hates. Betty then talks to Hulk and says to him that, while Hulk and Banner share the body, he is the both Hulk and Bruce Banner. Rick actually manages to calm the Hulk down by explaining that he wants both the Hulk and Bruce Banner to live in peace separate from one another. But the Hulk still is conflicted in his mind over this revelation and he eventually reverts back into Bruce Banner. As Betty tends to Bruce, Rick decides to use his wrist communicator to get help from his new iteration of the Teen Brigade.

Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., General Ross finally gets his meeting with the President of the United States to discuss the government's current initiatives to deal with the Hulk. Ross is interested in coming out of retirement to hunt the Hulk again, particularly after the death of Glenn Talbot. The Preident informs Ross that while he will not reinstate Gamma Base, he is assigning Thaddeus to the Pentagon to act as an advisor on the Hulk.
