And there she was.
Standing right behind him. Knife in hand. He didn’t know about her. She was within his stationary whirlwind, inside his protection. It took all her effort to stay calm and continue breathing silently, her free hand in front of her mouth so she didn’t breathe onto his neck. What… what now?
Stab him? It was way too easy to imagine him wearing body-armor under the suit. In fact, that was almost a given if he was a villain on the rise. The places that remained, was his head and neck. That would kill him, wouldn’t it? Did she really want to kill him? Become… a murderer? Get blood on her hands? It was becoming increasingly harder to stay composed for the teenage girl.
She could show him an illusion. But… what did that actually achieve? It wouldn’t stop him using his powers. Even if she showed him a bunch of goons aiming their guns at him, it said nothing about that he might be confident enough to handle them all. And then they were all illusions. It made no sense to show a known villain or hero, because Wisp couldn’t make them talk, only show them. It was all too risky.
As was trying to hold the knife to his throat and make him surrender. Way too easy to imagine him just claiming the knife like the objects floating around them and then Wisp would be powerless. That wouldn’t work.
There was no beating around the bush, huh. Her only option was to stab him in the back of his head or neck. But, she felt now, she wasn’t mentally prepared for such an action. It… it had to be done. This was a villain! He could take over the entire city with a power as powerful as this! She had to do it. She had to…
… She realized something she could do. Wisp blinked a bit as she considered it. It was… pretty simple, and didn’t necessarily involve stabbing. Perhaps, was this the way of Creep? It wasn’t as easy to identify as Wisp’s power. As she considered it, she liked the idea more and more. It was far, FAR easier than committing to stabbing him in the back of the head.

To Swarm, it would have been like it came out of nowhere. He was speaking to Shatterpoint, listening to his replies, when suddenly the world broke. She made the world shatter, all the pieces of it suddenly spinning into his whirlwind and flying like a tornado around his head. In addition, in the vision his own head spun with it, as if his eyes also were slung into the whirlwind along with the thousands of small fragments that should be building how the world looked around him. It would not help to close his eyes, the vision remained unchanged. No sound accompanied this vision, and his body wouldn’t feel anything else. Yet, this soundless vision of everything breaking and spinning with unfathomable speed was still translated directly into his brain, so unless he was completely immune to motion sickness…
Wisp created her own whirlwind around him, most particularly around his head. Light spun around his head so much faster than he could spin objects, and Wisp was picking bits and pieces to show him here and there, connecting just enough to make it all look like it was spinning. She was also moving the point from where his eyes were seeing, taking all the vision from a spinning point in space and directing it to his eyes so he saw it like his eyes were that quickly rotating object spinning around his head. This would hopefully do so much more than just get rid of his vision, as his balance, orientation and calm would hopefully take a sincere blow. Wisp had to have a hand within a meter of his eyes for the effect to continue, and she’d try to pursue him if he tried to run. She was also using her own powers to give her 360 degree vision to try to identify any danger she might be in to dodge whatever might happen, her knife ready if worst came to worst.
Hopefully, he thought the danger came from much further away, and he’d try to shoot it, in which case she was safe. Otherwise… … … Wisp hadn’t thought that far. She had just been desperate to do SOMETHING, and this was easier to do than to stab him. But… she was ready to do that too, maybe…

Shatterpoint and any other goons around Swarm and Wisp saw NOTHING of what Wisp was doing. Whatever reaction Swarm had to what Wisp was doing, would seem like he had it out of nowhere for no apparent reason. Wisp was just showing them the scene completely without her and her power.
