Wolverine and Hulk square off inside of a cave, and both recount their last meeting. Wolverine concludes that they should just get this over with, and he slashes at Hulk's chest with his claws. Hulk dodges, and tells Wolverine to hold up, but he just attacks again. Angry, Hulk punches Wolverine, sending him flying backward through the cave, where he lands on a large rock. Hulk says that they could've settled this in a more civilized manner, but Wolverine scoffs at this, unable to accept the fact that the Hulk is not the mindless beast that he once was. Hulk surges forward, attempting to grab Wolverine's leg, but he jumps over Hulk's arm, however, Hulk catches his leg, and throws him into the cave's wall. Hulk leaves, asking himself why he can't find any peace. As he walks out through the cave's entrance, Wolverine attacks again from behind, and the two begin grappling with each other as they roll down the hill. They finally land in the river below, and they continue to fight underwater. Their fight is cut short when they surface to see a large waterfall up ahead, and they both go over the edge. Wolverine climbs onto land, but he swims down to the bottom again to look for the Hulk. He gets back on land and starts walking away, but Hulk super-leaps, and lands next to him. Wolverine notices that Hulk doesn't make any attempt to fight him again, and he realizes that the Hulk is different now. Reluctantly, he apologizes to the grey behemoth. Hulk accepts, and they shake hands. Later, the pair eats dinner by a fire, and then Wolverine drives them away in his car. The next morning, Wolverine's car breaks down, and he stops at a service station to get gas. The owner pulls a gun on him, saying that they don't let murderers go, and outside, Bruce Banner tries to hitchhike with someone else.
