The Hulk wanders through the desert as the noonday sun beats down on him and comes across a small town (as a mirage). He wanders through the town to notice that it is quiet and no one is running away from him in terror.
It is a place like he has always dreamed of finding. He wishes for someone to talk to and meets a young girl in a wheelchair, who offers to be his friend; but when he reaches out to grab her hand, she dissipates entirely, along with the rest of the town.
Hulk becomes outraged that his newfound paradise disappeared so quickly, and he lashes out by beating his gigantic fists on the ground.
Elsewhere, a scientist monitoring a seismograph gets baffled by what they interpret as an earthquake in the middle of nowhere.
