After his rampage in Washington D.C., the president sends Nick Fury and Captain America to help Ross capture the Hulk. They are successful and transport Bruce to New York to stand trial. During the plane ride, Bruce's lawyer, Matt Murdock, finds him so heavily sedated that he is only able to wallow in guilt and prepare for death. Matt invokes Bruce's civil rights and demands that Ross give him a stimulant so he can talk to his client coherently. Ross reluctantly complies, and Bruce quickly turns into the Hulk. Hulk bursts from the plane to find the Fantastic Four waiting for him on the tarmac.
