Stormwatch is in Los Angeles on a public relations tour when riots break out, and the team moves into action to support emergency responders. Fuji holds up the ceiling of a burning store as Battalion rescues its owner and his wife trapped inside. Winter argues with a television reporter, stressing the team is there to help the public, not to combat the rioters. Hellstrike watches a teenager throw a brick at a fireman’s head and goes after him, but Battalion calls him off, saying the thrower is just a scared kid.
