Time passed, and Jennifer seemingly adjusted to her new strength level. She even stopped wearing the Jupiter suit as She-Hulk, confident in her ability to remain in control. Outside forces, however, would strip that control from her. The Scarlet Witch suffered a mental breakdown just as her powers to alter probability were increased to the level of altering reality itself. Aspects of her subconscious turned against the Avengers and began orchestrating an improbable culmination of threats leveled against the team. Jack of Hearts returned from space only to explode and wreck 
Avengers Mansion. Vision succumbed to his Ultron Imperative and spawned five copies of the Avengers’ robot foe. And Jennifer was overtaken by rage, turning her aggression on the damaged Vision after the Ultrons were disposed with. The remaining Avengers could not calm the rampaging She-Hulk as she ripped Vision in half, effectively killing her fellow Avenger by rendering him seemingly beyond repair.
She-Hulk was brought down by her own team and kept in stasis by S.H.I.E.L.D. until Wanda’s role in the chaos was uncovered. By the time the dust settled, Wanda was missing, Wasp and Captain Britain were severely wounded, and Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Vision and Jack of Hearts were all dead. Jennifer was released from custody and regained her senses, but it was too late. What remained of the Avengers met in what remained of the mansion afterwards, and Jennifer said she couldn’t in good conscience return to the team after this. One by one, the others expressed similar feelings, and the Avengers disassembled. [Avengers (1st series) #500-501, Finale #1]
Back in the Jupiter suit 24-7, Jennifer struggled to reconcile her feelings. She couldn’t trust that she could control herself as She-Hulk and was still reverting back to Jen in her sleep. She-Hulk met with Doc Samson for a consult, and Leonard spoke to Jen about the issues affecting her. Jennifer admitted she was still harboring intense guilt about Bone, Idaho, particularly the Avengers 
covering up afterwards and blaming her rampage on the Hulk. She admitted to overdoing her “party girl” image afterwards as a form of compensation. Samson connected that to the stories he had heard about Jen sleeping with the Juggernaut [Uncanny X-Men (1st series) #435], but Jennifer refused to admit to that. She did acknowledge that she was becoming more comfortable as Jen Walters again, thanks to her time at GLK&H. There were things Jen was better at than She-Hulk, and she was rediscovering that side of herself.
She-Hulk was still bothered by the fact that Reed Richards told her years ago that she would never be able to revert back to Jen Walters after the Helicarrier incident. Samson came forward and admitted that was a lie he and Reed came up with. After Jen was exposed to radiation during the Helicarrier clean-up, she was unable to change back to normal, but Reed could find no physical cause for her impediment. Secretly consulting with Doc Samson, they decided it was a psychological handicap – Jen preferred being She-Hulk instead of Jennifer Walters, so she was mentally blocking herself from transforming. Only after the incident in Idaho made her start subconsciously rejecting She-Hulk did her Jen Walters body begin instinctively re-emerging.
As She-Hulk was processing this revelation, she was confronted by the return of Titania. The Champion wanted revenge against She-Hulk, and Zoma the Watcher had eagerly directed him towards Titania as a means of vengeance. Champion had sworn to She-Hulk not to wield the Power Gem again, so instead he gifted it to Titania and trained her in its use. The immeasurably 
strong Titania assaulted both the Excelsior and Timely Plaza, critically wounding Mallory Book and ripping Awesome Andy’s head off. She-Hulk attacked her old foe but was easily overcome. Even after the Jupiter Suit was shredded, unleashing her full augmented strength, She-Hulk could not win again Titania. She exhausted herself, helpless and reverted back to Jen Walters as Titania moved in for the kill. [She-Hulk (1st series) #10-11]
Miraculously, becoming Jen Walters saved her life. The Scarlet Witch’s cloaking spell was still in effect, and Titania’s hatred of She-Hulk was so strong that Jen became invisible to Titania when in her normal form. She retreated to find Stu Cicero and the comic fan researchers for GLK&H who came up with a theory to help her. Reasoning that the Infinity Gems and the Power Primordial that made the Elders immortal came from the same source, they concluded the Gems worked best for those who wanted them the most, having some sort of drive for using their power. Jen made a plan where the shape-changer Ditto posed as She-Hulk and simulated fatal injuries, allowing Titania to believe she had killed She-Hulk and fulfilled her drive. Lacking direction after this, Titania’s connection to the Power Gem wavered, allowing Jen to remove it and use the Gem to 
defeat Titania herself. Jen turned the Power Gem over to the Fantastic Four, but had to face the consequences of the battle. The Excelsior and GLK&H both needed extensive repairs, Southpaw had escaped in the melee and several of her friends were seriously injured. Perhaps Jen subconsciously blamed She-Hulk for bringing this chaos into her life, for she also found herself unable to transform back into her gamma state at all. [She-Hulk (1st series) #12]
While Timely Plaza was being rebuilt, Jen decided to volunteer in Bone, Idaho with the Green Cross, a humanitarian aid organization specifically dedicated to cleaning up after Hulk-related disasters. Helping Bone to rebuild after her destruction was cathartic, but there were drawbacks. Since the people of Bone saw She-Hulk destroying their town, they wished her harm and so Wanda’s spell had people constantly bumping into Jen Walters. Still, Jen was accepted by Gary Swanson, the founder of Green Cross. She did remote counseling with Doc Samson, who was also designing a “Gamma-changer” device to push through her mental block and force a transformation into She-Hulk. However, it needed to calibrate to her She-Hulk form when it was active, meaning Jen would need to become She-Hulk on her own at least once.
Jen tried going to a support group for people who suffered losses during the rampage in Bone. She was horrified when she heard a woman named Kristy Porter describe how her husband had been buried alive in the rubble and never found. The next day, the body of Travis Porter was uncovered. Even the Hulk had never been responsible for taking innocent life in his rampages, 
and the revelation nearly broke Jennifer. She tried turning herself in to the local police, but they couldn’t even see or hear her because of Wanda’s spell. As the sheriff discussed Travis as a missing persons case, Jen began to realize things didn’t add up. For one thing, Travis’ credit card had been used after he died. But also, Kristy had noticed Jennifer at the support group, which someone who blamed She-Hulk for her husband’s death shouldn’t be able to do.
While investigating the subbasement shaft where Travis’ body was found, Jen’s support line was 
cut and she was nearly buried alive. She escaped with the help of Gary Swanson and found evidence proving Kristy had killed her own husband and blamed it on the disaster. Jen also learned Gary could see her because he blamed himself for the Hulks. Swanson had been only a teenager when he dared Rick Jones to drive out onto a gamma bomb testing range, starting the whole vicious cycle. Jen refused to let Swanson take the blame for her actions, and she finally forced a transformation into She-Hulk in order to be held accountable by the town of Bone, Idaho. Samson got his readings, the She-Hulk’s muscle helped speed up the reconstruction and Jen took her first step towards reconciling her two identities. [She-Hulk (2nd series) #4]
Back in Manhattan, Jen had to adjust to some changes. Samson’s gamma-changer required “downtime” to recharge, and so every time she reverted from She-Hulk to Jen Walters, it would be an indeterminate period of time before she could “Hulk out” again. The Avengers had reformed, and Cap offered her a spot on the team, but Jen decided to focus on her practice for the time being. Timely Plaza was rebuilt, but Southpaw had disappeared during the fight with Titania, so Holden Holliway left the firm on sabbatical to find his granddaughter. He left the mysterious Mr. 
Artie Zix as supervisor of GLK&H in his absence. Although Zix rescinded Holliway’s rule preventing Jen from becoming She-Hulk on GLK&H time, he also supported Mallory Book’s recent penchant for representing super-villains. Finally, the repairs to the Excelsior meant several occupants had to double-up. Pug had offered to make Jen his roommate, although he hadn’t considered how often John Jameson would be staying over as well. Jen and John were progressing in their relationship, but the fact that John clearly preferred “Jen” over She-Hulk was causing friction between them.
Jen and Pug’s first case back was an attempted murder charge against Charles Czarkowski. A photograph seen around the world captured the moment when Czarkowski shot his unnamed victim in the back. However, the defense was that Czarkowski had access to time travel devices in his research, and he had learned the victim intended to murder him, so he shot the man in preemptive self-defense. To navigate these complicated temporal conditions, Mr. Zix contacted 
the Time Variance Authority to assist in the trial. To prevent the photo from biasing the jury pool, the TVA was pulling forward a jury pool from a year in the past, completely unaware of the media surrounding the current trial. However, to Jen’s incredible surprise, one of the prospective jurors was her friend Clint Barton, Hawkeye, from shortly before his own demise. [She-Hulk (2nd series) #1]
Even though she signed an oath to the TVA not to interfere with the timeline, Jennifer decided to warn Hawkeye about his upcoming death. She couldn’t interact with him directly on the jury, but planned to send him a signal, or a note, or something to prevent his death. Pug did some research, though, and showed Jennifer that their ENTIRE jury was full of people who died in the past year. The TVA specifically chose those twelve people in order to avoid temporal paradoxes bringing them into the present. Faced with the unrealistic goal of saving everyone or selfishly protecting only her friend, Jen backed down from her plan. Czarkowski felt the trial was going against him, so he summoned a giant robot using temporal tech, forcing Hawkeye and She-Hulk 
to defend the courthouse. (As the ontological paradox played out, it turned out the man Czarkowski shot was a disguised version of himself, and a garbled message through time was responsible for the whole misunderstanding.) After changing into She-Hulk, Jen was far more rash and impulsive, and in this form she still tried to get Hawkeye her letter before the TVA diverted the jury home. The Time Variance Authority then arrested She-hulk for interference with the timestream. [She-Hulk (2nd series) #2]
