The Hulk tells her that he is doing what is right, and hopes that now that he has his facilities back that they would become enemies over such things. This thinly veiled threat disturbs his cousin. As the limo drives along, a strange flare of energy appears behind it. This is detected at the Pantheon's headquarters the Mount, but Hector dismisses it as a glitch. This proves to be wrong as the energy is actually the arrival of the Bi-Beast who has been teleported to Earth with the powerful Family Jewels. Soon the Hulk and his cousin are at the apartment of Rick Jones to celebrate the recent engagement between Rick Jones and Marlo Chandler. When Rick mentions how the Avengers haven't committed to coming to the wedding, She-Hulk promises to look into it. She-Hulk then learns that Betty is in charge with the bridal shower and insists on getting an invitation.

Watching this battle from his homeworld is the Stranger who has sent the Bi-Beast to Earth with the Family Jewels as part of a test. He finds it interesting that these creatures of Earth always seem focused on vendettas. He then decides to set the Family Jewels to self-destruct to see if they can look past their rivalries to notice. Back on Earth, the Hulk continues his battle against the Bi-Beast. Noticing the Family Jewels he tries to remove them but is jolted back by the energies contained in them. With the Hulk down, She-Hulk begins to fight their foe. As the Hulk recovers, he is contacted by the Pantheon who warns him of an energy build up that will destroy them all. The Hulk instantly figures out that it is the Family Jewels. The She-Hulk then tries to seduce the Bi-Beast to distract it enough for the Hulk to pull the jewels from around his neck. During the struggle they get the necklace removed, but it is knocked away. It is picked up by a boy who stuffs it inside his Felix the Cat doll that has a hole in it. When the Bi-Beast tries to recover the doll he is attacked from behind by the two Hulks. Unfortunately, they knock their enemy into a toy factory that makes the same dolls. With two minutes to go, they manage to find the Family Jewels. With no time left to get rid of the jewels the two Hulks shield the blast with their bodies. In the aftermath of the battle, She-Hulk disturbs her cousin by talking as though they are comic book characters being watched by people all the time. The Hulk tells Jennifer to calm down. As they walk away, he suggests that she acquaint herself with Doc Samson.
