A few days later after Jen had been discharged and was pleaded not guilty All thanks to Mallory. She could finally go home. Although, not to her apartment. Which she had to let go, in order to transfer over to her parents' home. With her job at her recent law firm belly up. Then she now had this inhibitor to prevent her from ever turning into She-Hulk.

"So---HulkKing?" Jen said, she had been investigating and connecting dots to get a lead on the mastermind of Intelligencia. She'd set up the dashboard of contents, potential leads, evidences, etc, and everything.

"Really stupid name for my first main villain in a live-action adaptation." She said as she was surfing through their website.

"He sounds like some fanboy of my cousin, too. Probably gone mad jealous that there's another Hulk around." Jen said. "But I mean, I am his cousin. Why is this guy so pissed?"

Nikki was checking something on her phone as she approached. "Incels and misogynists, Jen." she said.
"I know a way to figure out where these jerks hang out."

Jen turned to face her, rather slowly like Nikki had done something wrong. Her eyes tensed. "That's not what I think it is."

"Uh-yeah, it's not!" Nikki apologetically nodded as she backed away with her phone.

"I told you to lay off that video, Nik!" Jen stood up from her chair as she hurried over to the other and tried taking the phone away from her. But was bested by slick hands.

"We don't have any other choice, Jen. Come on. I've already thought this through. Just listen." Nikki said.

Jen stopped and simply stood there to listen to her, although embarrassed and pissed.

"Pug will be our undercover incel, alright? He gets some info, blends in with the other douchebags. We get what we need, and boom. Simple as that." She said.

Jen chose silence for a few seconds, until-

"Straightforward. I get it." She said, then her mood reverted back into being embarrassed of having to use that video of her twerking in her college days.

"But---why that video?" Jen said.

Nikki smiled widely. "Like I said, we have no other choice. Do you have a better idea? Other videos?"

"Thankfully not." She sighed, then returned to the laptop. "Fine. I look better now than back then anyway!"

"I've looked into their website. It's owned by several shell companies that are operating outside of US Jurisdiction." She said. "How am I supposed to sue them if I don't know who they are?"

"Okay, look, Intelligencia is made up of exclusively dumb dudes. We hook Pug up with all of them in their evil lair, and we'll get to destroy them by any and all means." Nikki said.

"Legally." Jen said.

"By any and all means." Nikki said.

"No, I am going to sue them for defamation and invasion of privacy. And get them charged with unauthorized access to an unprotected computer." Jen said.

"Sue them?" Nikki said.
"That's pretty unusual for a literal superhero like you to beat up bad guys not with punches but in court--and with words."

"I may be part-superhero now, but I am still a lawyer, Nikki." Jen said.
"The conflict between Steve Rogers and the Sokovia Accords back in 2016 ended with punches and kicks. Which later lead up to the Avengers disbanded, and resulting into the Decimation. The Blip!"

"Way to stir up trauma with that." Nikki said.

"We're gonna go with what I usually do. But if that doesn't work, if I lose because of some unfair power they have over us?"
"I'll have to go She-Hulk. It's a matter of She-Hulk helping people when the law fails them---including herself." Jen said.

"Wow. Did you get that from anyone?" Nikki asked.

Jen grinned. "Some guy I went with on a blind date." she said.

Later on, Jen's bestie was setting the grounds for their infiltration. She had posted that college twerk video of Jen on Intelligencia, under the guise of an internet incel.

"DON'T tell me about the comments, alright?" Jen avoided looking at the laptop.

"Yeah, yeah. Of course." Nikki said.

As then she had been admitted in the website as one of Intelligencia users. She had been invited to come hang out at their lair in a certain location, although they were unaware of her gender.

"Also, could you PLEASE delete that when we're done?" Jen said.

The next evening, Jen drove over to Emil's place. Mainly in order to find peace within herself, and in times like these. Or rather, for an ulterior motive.

She walked out of her prius and found Dirk Garthwaite waiting at the front of the yard. The two greeted eachother.

"Walters. What a pleasant surprise." He said.

"Hey there Homewrecker. Was wondering if Emil's around?" Jennifer asked.
Garthwaite politely complied, and agreed to lead her to Blonsky.

Meanwhile, Nikki and Pug had just arrived in a car. Over to the meeting place of She-Hulk's haters. They parked over a shady spot to keep Nikki concealed.

"The meeting so happens to take place here in Blonksy's cabin. Doesn't that seem a bit fishy to you?"

"More than fishy, actually." Pug said. "But what if--?" Pug said.

"What if what?" Nikki said.

"Blonsky probably doesn't know what these people even stand for. Considering how nice and friendly he is now." Pug said.

"Just go in there and find out." Nikki said.

"Jeez, you really wanna risk my life in there huh?" Pug said.

"Hey, I didn't say you should die or something. Just go." Nikki said as she pushed him for him to get out.
