And then, everything lived again. Jennifer kept her law offices, but she was unable to continue paying Patsy as an investigator given her current case load. In fact, Howard the Duck had moved into the building as a private investigator and owed Jen enough favors that she hardly needed to pay him. Instead, she helped Patsy set up her own Super-Temp agency for super-powered beings who needed work. [Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat #1-2, Howard the Duck (6th series) #1] In the same spirit, She-Hulk found herself reaching out to Titania. Mary was actually trying to stick to her 
parole while Absorbing Man was serving time. Despite their animosity, Jennifer helped set Mary up with a paying job as security at a pawn shop. [Illuminati #1] She also helped her landlord Sharon King hold on to their office block when a magical spell tried to lure her into selling the space on Christmas. [Gwenpool Holiday Special #1]
On Battleworld, the transitory Earth after the final Incursion, a domain existed where Jennifer led a team of female heroes known as A-Force. Singularity, a child-like living spatial event, escaped the destruction of Battleworld and came to Earth searching for her friends. She found She-Hulk and other faces familiar to her, such as Queen Medusa, Captain Marvel, Dazzler and Nico Minoru. Singularity was being hunted by a similar being known as Antimatter, and Jennifer took responsibility for protecting her little blue friend and leading these women of power into battle. 
Directing such a strong collection of personalities proved taxing, as She-Hulk and Medusa still weren’t on the best of terms since the Future Foundation, and the Terrigen strife between mutants and Inhumans also kept Dazzler and Medusa at a distance. Once Antimatter was dealt with, other holes in dimensional space still existed, vomiting out other anomalies. She-Hulk chose to remain as leader of this new “A-Force,” keeping watch for the dimensional stability of their planet. [A-Force (2nd series) #1-4]
As an attorney, Jennifer Walters still supported the value of the law in preserving individual rights. Jonathan Powers, formerly known as the Jester, became her client after he was charged with criminal conspiracy. Jen defended Powers in court, despite his history as a super-villain. She laid out for the jury how Powers had committed no crime on his parole – instead, he had been “talking shop” about “the good old days” with some confederates, unaware that federal agents were undercover in the group. The government’s case charged Powers with thinking about committing 
future crimes, something which the law did not provide for. Despite her efforts, Powers was convicted and sentenced to prison. Maria Hill of S.H.I.E.L.D. broke the news to She-Hulk that Powers was killed in prison during a scuffle before she could finalize her appeal. Jen was taken aback by Hill’s indifference to the injustice, saying Powers would have re-offended eventually anyway.
Through Medusa, Earth’s heroes became acquainted with a NuHuman named Ulysses, who had the power to predict the future and foresee threats. After he warned New York about the arrival of a Celestial Destructor, Carol Danvers became interested in using Ulysses for a predictive justice model alongside her second team, the Ultimates. She-Hulk was present with other members of A-Force and the Ultimates when Ulysses was being tested and foresaw Thanos coming to Earth to steal the Cosmic Cube from Project: P.E.G.A.S.U.S. With only a few hours’ warning, Captain Marvel assembled the heroes she could find to oppose Thanos. When the battle began, however, 
the collection of heavy-hitters present weren’t trained to work as a unit, and began getting in each other’s way. In one key moment, War Machine was jostled and his rocket payload went wild, striking She-Hulk in the chest with a warhead designed for fighting Thanos. Jennifer was already dead on her feet when Thanos pummeled her into a coma and murdered the stunned and distracted War Machine.
She-Hulk lay in a coma for weeks. In fact, it was later confirmed that she did not survive at all, but died and was reborn thanks to the influence of the Green Door which affects all gamma mutates. [Immortal She-Hulk #1] Carol continued with the Ulysses Initiative in Jen and Rhodey’s names, despite Tony Stark’s loud misgivings about predictive enforcement of justice. A-Force fell apart without Jen to captain the ship, especially after Carol tried to put Nico in custody when Ulysses predicted she would kill someone. But the worst came when Ulysses foresaw a worst-case scenario rampage by the Hulk. The heroes united to confront Bruce, who had been Hulk-free for 
months. When Bruce got angry at the accusations, Hawkeye shot him in the head with a specially-prepared arrowhead, killing Banner. Clint revealed Bruce had come to him much earlier, making him promise to kill him if it ever looked like the Hulk was coming back. Jennifer Walters woke from her coma to hear that not only was her cousin dead, but her friend had killed him and been found not guilty at trial for murder. [Civil War II event]
Something broke inside Jennifer that night. The physical trauma of her injuries left her weaker than any time in recent memory, but the psychological trauma of her losses affected her on an even deeper level. When she finally processed the depth of Bruce’s departure, Jennifer transformed into a new version of her Hulk state that she had never experienced before. This first 
rampage through the ICU separated Jen from her Hulk persona, leading her to retreat into her human form and distance herself from the Hulk. The traumatized Jennifer felt completely cut off from her friends and loved ones and decided to put her life as a super-hero behind her for the time being. Remaining in her human state, Jennifer also didn’t have it in her to return to her private practice. She needed external structure and got accepted as an associate at the firm of Ryu, Barber, Zucker and Scott.
It was a rocky road towards normalcy for Jennifer, as she tried to adopt a daily schedule that kept her calm and balanced. She suffered not only from a regular person’s concerns about PTSD, but 
also having an unpredictable new Hulk within her that she wasn’t comfortable with. Jen’s new assistant at RBZ&S, Bradley, provided her with emotional support, and Hellcat refused to leave Jen’s life entirely. Jennifer eventually opened back up to Patsy and they remained as best friends. Jen also slowly started to reconcile with her Hulk, working together (if not of one mind) on some of her cases. Through one of her clients, Jen arranged for cathartic expressions of her Hulk, doing planned demolition at a construction site instead of releasing her rage uncontrollably. [Hulk (4th series) #1-11]
Jennifer was provoked into a Hulk episode outside the courthouse after anti-mutant advocates attacked her and her client. Afterwards an interview with Professor Robyn Meiser Malt proved to be a trap orchestrated by the Leader. Robyn was obsessed with Jennifer, or rather with her strength, and wanted to become a gamma mutate herself. The Leader was intrigued by the new changes in Jen’s Hulk form and was interested in testing whether the new Hulk would kill when provoked by Robyn’s new gamma mutation. Jen’s Hulk refused to be manipulated and avoided killing Robyn in the end. Afterwards, Jen met with Flo Meyer, an expert on trauma and confronted her Hulk in her subconscious. Jen made a conscious decision not to be afraid anymore after her 
trauma and embraced her Hulk aspect once more. Jennifer re-emerged as the stable, green She-Hulk as an outward expression of this decision. RBZ&S had become increasingly dissatisfied with Jen’s efforts to choose clients out of empathy and a sense of justice, rather than for bringing in profitable cases, and so Jennifer and Bradley decided to quit the firm.
