[1] She-Hulk has seen Jazinda and is going nuts, pulling free of her guards and trying to get to her friend. (They don’t go flying like they’ve been shoved by a Hulk; she’s too weak to do more than just push them aside.) The guards carrying Jazinda have scrambled backwards, dropping Jazinda. Par has scrambled back too, knocking over his chair, even tho She-Hulk isn’t moving towards him. The General is shouting orders.

She-Hulk: Jazinda! What have you…

Guard: Wha…?

General: Get her!

Par: No guns! Restrain her!

...

[2] Half a dozen guards swarm She-Hulk. She clocks one with the power cuffs, just as another one clubs her from behind with his rifle butt. In the background, Jazinda has fallen limply to the floor, forgotten for the moment.

SFX: Thud! Crack!

Clocked Guard: Ooof!

Striking Guard: Got her!

Par: [out of frame] Stop her! Just…not permanently!

...

[3] The Guards dogpile the naked She-Hulk, bearing her to the ground while Par and the General watch, excited. Jazinda’s eyes blink open. The General talks into his radio.

SFX: Various fighting sounds

General: …actually I think things are under control here.

Par: Ha! Remind me to thank Moscow again for those wonderful suppressers!

...

[4] She-Hulk is on the floor. Multiple guards hold her, stretching out her cuffed arms and her legs into a “Y.” Eyes wide, she looks off to one side, where Jazinda still lies forgotten.

Parr: Well that was very foolish of you.

General: Fortunately all my idiot guards hesitated just long enough to keep all your friends alive.

Parr: All’s well that ends well, I suppose. Now about the Skrull…

General: Wait, did she call her…?

She-Hulk: [whispers] Jazinda! Go! Go while you can! Please…

...

[5] Close on Jazinda, with the pinned She-Hulk visible behind her. Rather than running, Jazinda has curled up into the fetal position and is weeping like a child. She-Hulk just stares, looking truly defeated for the first time.

Guard: [out of frame] That’s just it, General. It’s her. Jizz Girl or whatever her name is.

She-Hulk: [very small] J?

Guard: [out of frame] Halfway through Charlie Company she just…changed. Into that.

General: [out of frame] Well that’s…interesting.

Jazinda: Whimper…

...

[Inset] Parr’s face, a brilliant smile breaking out as he recognizes an opportunity.

Parr: “Interesting?” My dear Emil. Don’t you realize? This changes everything!
