"Do you feel the poison working? I've had my swarm dipping their stingers in something a bit more potent than you're probably used to. My, but your skin is thick...but is it thick enough fraulein? What would you say if I told you I have felled even Thor with this particular mixture? Hm? Would that worry you just a bit?"

Of course, his villainous banter was interrupted by the explosion of energy. The swarm dispersed to try to escape it, but not before she caused a rain of bees. Swarm buzzed a furious yell. His form was getting smaller, weaker. But he was also calling in all surrounding bees from the area as backup. And they told him interesting stories. Stories of SHIELD on the way.

"Now if you'll excuse me, my business here is at an end."

Swarm made to leave, but as he did a force cage erupted around him. Harmonic resonances designed by Stark and Richards themselves agitated the bees until they fell to the bottom of the cage, unconscious but still alive. The Nazi bones fell with them to a sound of fury. But did the skull appear to grin? What had he meant by his business being at an end? He hadn't robbed the bank!

SHIELD agents poured in and started cordoning off the area. Several made for Warbird, but Eleanor waved them off. It might be surprising, but the agents deferred to what looked like your average young woman. Of course, most supers knew that appearances were often deceiving. Eleanor made her way over to Warbird to see if she was okay. That was the first order of business. The threat of poison that could "fell Thor" was worrisome, but who knew if Swarm was bluffing or not. Thor was pretty hard to "fell". But that didn't mean there wasn't poison here to be dealt with.

Trying to break the news that Warbird might have to appear in court over the dead bees was something that could wait until later. Upside was she'd most likely win the case. Downside was...well, nobody liked to go to court. Nobody.
