Wolverine/Hulk (2002 series) #2

Wolverine is trapped in an ice cave with Po, a little girl who needs help, and the Hulk, who doesn’t see Po. Hulk is thinking which makes his head hurt so he decides to smash Logan for making him think. Logan pops his claws—but it’s to cut a hole in the ceiling back to the surface. But Hulk follows, hitting him. Po vanishes, Logan makes it back to his wrecked aircraft where he hides from Hulk and tries to regenerate. But Hulk finds him so Logan ignores Po’s warnings and uses his claws against his big green adversary until they are both laid out in the snow at the bottom of the hill. Hulk transforms back into Bruce Banner and Po also reveals herself to have been hiding inside Logan to keep his broken ribs from piercing his lungs. And Po also warns them that they are on the edge of an icy cliff, about to plummet into ice-cold water. And then Banner sneezes and they fall…

…so Logan drags himself and Po out of the lake with Hulk close behind. Logan appeals to her to sing to take their minds off their troubles. She sings “Little Cabin in the Woods” and for the first time Hulk can hear her voice—and it makes his head hurt. Logan tries to reach Banner inside Hulk but he just gets hit again. The desperate Logan begs her to find any way to stop Hulk. So she enters his head and takes a bit of the balance fluid out and Hulk passes out. Logan asks if she could have done that the first time they encountered Hulk. “Oops…”

Logan pulls the unconscious Hulk along on a makeshift sled and Po confesses it’s her fault that her Daddy’s plane crashed. At the bottom of the mountains they discover a dusty plain where Po points out the lake where the plane crashed. But Logan sees a dried up lake bed; knowing there’s no need to hurry to the rescue, Logan suggests they go to sleep and deal with the rescue in the morning. Logan dreams of Rogue pointing out that Po’s Dad can’t possibly be alive so why is he bothering? Because there’s a chance that Po may still be alive. Po tries to breathe underwater but she drowns. Logan wakes up to find she’s still there. And Bruce Banner asks about the strap….
