Stormwatch #6 (1998)

Christine examines an intact gun recovered from the site raided by Apollo and Midnighter. She finds inside its internals a similar design to the Engineer's unique armor, which confirms the weapons are made from the Nevada Garden. Christine informs her discovery to Jackson, who then decides to make a change of plan in regard to Apollo and Midnighter. Hellstrike and Fahrenheit are teleported to intercept Apollo and Midnighter, who are heading for Nevada. The StormWatch operatives placed two teleportation fetishes on the rogue superhumans to teleport them back to Skywatch. Upon appearing in the transport bay, they are placed in a containment field. The StormWatch team explains to Apollo and Midnighter that Henry Bendix is dead in which they are pleased to hear and are willing to talk peacefully with Jackson and the others. Apollo and Midnighter explain that five years ago, StormWatch Zero discovered a bio-reactor extrapolated from Daemonite technology that grows human flesh and organs from base materials for grafting and transplantation. It was a benign advance in medical technology made by the Americans, in which Bendix wanted to steal it. However, the bio-reactor defended itself and killed StormWatch Zero except Apollo and Midnighter. Bendix effectively left the team for dead after failing to acquire the bio-reactor. Apollo and Midnighter escaped, went underground, and soon discovered Bendix's treachery. Since then the duo have started to do what they are made for: fighting for a better world. After hearing out from Apollo and Midnighter, Jackson wants to work with them to stop American black op agencies from using the Engineer's Nevada Garden to make exotic and advanced weapons and sell them in inner cities to provide more black-budget money. Apollo and Midnighter then proceed to attack a hidden facility housing the Nevada Garden in which they secured it and teleport it to Skywatch, where it resides in Bendix's bay zero. Apollo and Midnighter are congratulated by Stormwatch and in return they are given new identities and lives. Once they left the station, Jackson privately reveals to Christine that he did not trust Apollo and Midnighter, and he discreetly had them sprayed with bacterial mantrap that will poison them if they act at the first sign of something that Jackson does not like. Despite what he did, Jackson is left sickened at what he had done.
