It had been a day since Logan's attack on the Hulk Gang. Jennifer and Doreen were saved, Logan finally got his claws out for the first time in six months, and Jennifer was cradling Bruce Banner Junior in her arms. Doreen was excited of having a young brother. As for Logan, he was still contemplating on what to do. "I travel around the world to collect money to pay my rent," said Logan to Jennifer. "Now I pretty much killed the Hulk Gang including your cousin." Jennifer said, "Don't worry about me. I'm not at all sad about Bruce's death. The Bruce I knew died a long time ago." She looked at Bruce Jr, who gurgled happily at her. "You think he'd be like his granddad someday?" asked Logan. "Being a hero, saving people?" Jennifer answered, "As long as he has you, me, and Doreen, he'll learn how to be a great hero. Like you." Logan looked to one side as he sighed. Jennifer asked, "So, what's up with you? You've been drinking less lately. Why is that?" Logan simply replied, "I'm just not thirsty." Doreen came inside and grinned as she sat next to Jennifer. "Mom, can I hold him, please?" asked Doreen. Jennifer smiled, "All right, but be careful. He's still a little baby." Jennifer carefully put Bruce Jr onto Doreen's lap as she hugged him. Logan smiled, "Something tells me that they're gonna get along just fine." Doreen asked, "So what are you going to do now, Mister Logan?" Logan shrugged, "How about we start cleaning up the place?" "And then?" asked Doreen. Logan shrugged again, "I don't know." Doreen gave Bruce Jr back to Jennifer as she sat next to Logan and grasped his hand. He got up as he went into his room and searched for his scroll. Logan found it and dialed in Yang's number. A few seconds later and Logan thought he would have to listen to Yang's message of leaving a recording. But then Yang's voice said, "Hello, Logan? Is this really you?" Logan got a little shocked but instantly smiled as he replied, "Yeah, it's me. It's great to finally hear your voice again." Yang said, "You too. Listen, I'm sorry for not answering your calls." Logan nodded, "Yeah, I know. Look, I was wondering if I come and see you again. I know it's been a long six months but I would really like it if..." Yang interrupted, "Logan, there's nothing I want more than to see you again. So, yes." Logan smiled, "Thanks, but I might bring a few folks with me if your dad doesn't mind the company." Yang giggled, "I'm sure he wouldn't." Logan nodded, "All right, see ya." Yang added, "I love you." Logan smiled, "I love you, too." He put the scroll down as he helped clean up the apartment building with Jennifer and Doreen. Logan grabbed a mop and began mopping the blood off of the floor. Jennifer grabbed large garbage bags and began putting the dead Hulks into them. Doreen grabbed a soaked sponge and began wiping the blood off of the walls. Logan stopped as he looked at a wall with his claw marks. Doreen walked to him and grabbed his hand as Logan looked at her. He looked into Doreen's eyes and thought of something he hadn't thought about in months.

Logan finished packing his things and put them into the Jeep's trunk. He turned to see Jennifer carrying Bruce Jr and Doreen also carrying packed bags. Jennifer smiled, "You're thinking of leaving? About time." Logan shrugged, "Since taking out Hulk, I felt I couldn't stay 'cause all I got here are memories, and I can take those wherever I go." Jennifer smiled wider, "Well, we're coming with you, because you think we're going to let you go out and save the world?" Doreen opened the trunk and put her things in the back. "Road trip!" exclaimed Doreen excitedly. Logan grinned as Jennifer put Bruce Jr on a booster seat and buckled the tiny baby Hulk in. Jennifer put her things in as she said, "You really are serious about taking them down, aren't you?" Logan replied, "Why not? I got nothing better to do than getting drunk off my ass." Jennifer asked, "Do you ever think it's impossible?" Logan retorted, "A friend of mine once told me there's no such thing as impossible." Jennifer asked, "Really? Who is that friend?" Logan thought about the Pyrrha ghost he talked to two days ago and answered, "The same one who told me to forgive myself." Jennifer climbed into the passenger seat as Logan climbed into the driver seat. He turned to see Bruce Jr and asked, "You comfy there, little buddy?" Bruce Jr happily gurgled as Doreen sat next to him and put on her seatbelt. Jennifer put on her seatbelt as she said, "Some would say what you're going to do is gonna get yourself killed. What do you think?" Logan sighed as he started the engine and smirked, "Oh, yeah? Well, they killed me six months ago and I got better. I figure I've kept my head down long enough." Logan drove the Jeep and disappeared into the sunrise as Pyrrha's ghost watched and smiled.
