The story

“Of Lizards, Great and Small”

While discussing Godzilla onboard the Behemoth, Dugan gets the idea to shrink Godzilla to a more manageable size. He tells Gabe to go meet with Hank Pym (aka Yellowjacket) to ask him for some of his shrinking gas. When the gas is procured, S.H.I.E.L.D. approaches a sleeping Godzilla and blast him with the gas shrinking him down to the size of a small dog. He is then captured and taken to New York City for study.
