—Vista to Byron Vera, Breaking 14.8 |
Missy Biron, known publicly as Vista, is a member of the Brockton Bay Wards, and later of the Wardens.
Personality[]
Strong-willed and focused, Vista is confident in her abilities. Despite having been through several major traumatic events, she has always been able to bounce back and is far more capable than anyone has given her credit for.
Vista viewed herself more as "Vista" than "Missy", and took extra shifts to escape the oppressive atmosphere at home generated by her parents' divorce.[11] Developed something of a fatalistic mentality after the deaths among the wards following Leviathan's attack.[12] She saw herself as a child soldier.
She was horrified at the prospect of Defiant modifying himself with cybernetic enhancements.[13]
Relationships[]
Gallant[]
She had a crush on Gallant and was devastated when he died, staying by his bedside when he expired.
Weld[]
Despite getting off on the wrong foot at first[14] she connected with Weld[15] following his counseling.[16] She did the same with the more experienced Dr. Yamada and grew into becoming the heart of the team.[17]
Triumph[]
Was her mentor circa Battle against Echidna.[18]
Bitch[]
She became acquaintances, if not friends, with Rachel after several major calamites. They easily collaborated during the Assault on the fallen.[19] Missy's civilian attire was seemingly influenced by Rachel's tastes.[20]
Victoria Dallon[]
Victoria and Missy have a strong friendship, referring to each other as 'Big V' and 'Little V'.
Byron Vera[]
Missy is romantically interested in Byron, but he is hesitant to move forward with their relationship due to unfortunate circumstances with his brother.
Reputation[]
Everyone in the know is aware of her abilities, and rightly fears her despite her age.[21]
As a member of the Wardens, she often accompanies Narwhal and Cinereal.[22]
Appearance & Equipment[]
Vista wears a costume with a skirt covered in wavy, swooping lines alternating between white and forest green, panels of body armor, and a green visor.[23][12] She has wavy dark-blonde hair,[24] but straightens it when costumed.[25] Her eyes are green.[26]
During the The Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand event, she carried a powerful Tinker weapon, likely given to her by Kid Win,[27] capable of disintegrating a whole vending machine,[28] as well as people. Two years after Gold Morning she updated her costume somewhat, adding a scarf and showing off the skin on her legs and arms.[29]
Over the course of her career as a hero, she gained a large collection of scars—small scars on her hands and legs, a dime-sized keloid scar on the top of one foot, and an inch-wide scar on the right side of her chest, among others.[11] During Slaughterhouse 9000, she was cut across the face by a Murder Rat, whose scars do not easily heal. Later March added another substantial scar to other side of her chest.
Abilities and Powers[]
Vista has the ability to distort non-living material by stretching, compressing, or bending it.[30] She described using her power as smudging everything around like wet clay.[31] Her power is extremely versatile; she can shrink part of an object, like the leg of a chair or the wheels of a car,[32] or manipulate nearby terrain to create huge "treadmills" to keep people from coming closer to her.[33] The presence of living creatures interferes with her ability; in the absence of people, her power is potent enough to alter continent-sized regions of terrain.[34] Her powers appear to involve warping spacetime rather than matter itself, as she can create regions of space which cause projectiles passing through them to be redirected.[35][36] However, her power and reflexes are too slow to actively deflect projectiles.
As with many Shakers, time is a crucial element for her. The more time she has in a particular area, the greater the amount she can shape.[21]
Vista's power provided her with a mental map of the terrain.[37] She usually needed solid matter to "anchor" her power to.[38] She was able to target specific objects, which remained small and lightweight until her power wore off.[11][39] Because of her skill at using her power, especially compared to other shakers in Brockton Bay, she was classified as a Shaker 9.[10]
Interestingly, her powers seem to confuse some thinker powers[40] and computers.[41]
March believed that Vista was neglecting the more subtle aspects of her power.[42] Ironically, Vista used a more subtle aspect of her power to assist in defeating March; she shortened March's blade, which screwed with her timing.[43]
Power Synergy[]
Vista can anchor her space-warping effects on projections and tools vastly increasing their size.[44] She can also do this by manipulating the space that matter creation and energy occupies to either decrease[45] or increase the effected area. The parahumans may find this effect difficult to work around.[46]
History[]
Background[]
Missy was born on 15th May 1998.[5] She triggered in 2009, joining the Wards a month shy of eleven years old.[11] It is implied that her trigger event was due to her parents' hostile relationship with one another. Her father had cancer, and her mother cheated on him with his brother. Her father then got back at her mother by getting rid of her dogs. This enmity grew over time.[8] They divorced, causing her to withdraw into her position as a Ward and identity as Vista.[47]
She had a scar on her chest where she was stabbed by Hookwolf and sewed it up herself, rather than risk looking like a baby in front of her team.
Story Start[]
Vista was deployed alongside her teammates once news arrived of the Undersiders robbing a bank. Shortly after she arrived, the Undersiders released some of their hostages before Grue flooded the street with darkness. She took a few steps backward to avoid being caught in it and then used her power to swell and widen the street.
After Aegis and Clockblocker had been taken down, Bitch rode Judas towards Vista. Vista raised a short wall to trip Judas and send Bitch tumbling off. Gallant hit Bitch with his power and Bitch sent Judas after him before going towards Vista. Vista stretched out the space between them and then pinched the space behind her and crossed a third of a block before returning the street to normal. Grue stumbled out of the darkness near Vista, screaming about bugs, and then collapsed. Thinking that he was Browbeat, Vista approached to help, and Grue struck her against the side of her head, knocking her down. Grue then covered them both in darkness.[48]
Later, Vista traveled to the PRT Building where her team was met by Director Piggot, who berated them on their poor showing. After the team, sans Kid Win, arrived in their quarters, Gallant asked Vista to grab two whiteboards. She grabbed the whiteboards, set them up, and blushed after Gallant thanked her.[49]
After the new leader of the ABB went crazy and broke out her predecessor from custody, the other villains of Brockton Bay banded together to take on the ABB operations, while the heroes focused on the leaders themselves. In capturing Bakuda in her workshop Vista and Clockblocker were able to stop Bakuda's final bomb.[39][50] In doing so they saved the city from an EM Pulse that would have devastated the east coast.
She lied to attend the Battle against Leviathan, saying her parents gave her permission to participate.[51]
Post-Leviathan[]
With Weld called in to lead to Brockton Bay Wards, Vista was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt when it came to him serving as leader.[52] She had an argument with Dennis over the disagreement he had with Victoria. Vista later participated in a skirmish with The Travelers, and was prioritized as the most dangerous threat.[53]
Weld assigned Flechette to Vista to get a second opinion on how she was acting. Meeting her, she gave her a pep talk about life and told her it was okay to cry. Getting into a confrontation with Shadow Stalker, she asked why the other hero was so disdainful of emotions and her attachment to Gallant. Shadow Stalker slammed her into the wall before leaving on patrol.[11] When Shadow Stalker returned, supposedly having captured the Undersiders by herself, Vista was suspicious.
Vista was one of those who volunteered when Director Piggot asked for volunteers to flight the Slaughterhouse Nine. When deployed against the killers, she was able to keep Crawler at bay while other members were being retrieved from Cache.[54]
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine[]
During the attack by a new S-class threat, Vista was taken out early, deliberately kidnapped before the Protectorate was fully informed about the threat.[55] The duplicates that the threat created harried the responding forces and prevented them for disposing of the threat for hours.
Eventually freed, Vista was trapped in the ruins of Coil's base, and while digging through the rubble, she met Shatterbird. Forced to defend herself, she killed her fellow shaker.[56][57] She was later reunited with her team.
Post-Echidna[]
Vista reacted badly to Flechette's defection and blamed the supposedly surrendering Skitter for Flechette's actions.[58] It is unknown if Vista participated at New Delhi like her fellow Ward teammates did.
Post-Timeskip[]
At nearly fifteen, Vista was one of the most experienced capes in the wards. She was chosen to deploy against the Slaughterhouse Nine due to her versatility.
Gold Morning[]
Late in the story, on the near un-populated Earth Bet, Vista extends her power over a huge track of land, from one end of the horizon to the other, as she is not limited by the number of people there.[34] She uses this in combination with another cape called Silk Road to provide transportation while Doormaker was unconscious.
She later joined the Wardens, and accompanied Miss Militia in her meeting with Bitch, who preferred being called Rachel.[59]
Ward[]
Working with the Wardens, she helped deal with a broken trigger event at a workers' protest, where she was helped by Victoria and Laserdream.[60]
She was finally able to meet up with big V during preparations for the Mathers Compound Assault, and expressed an interest in meeting up some time.[1] They later fought alongside each other during the battle. Vista also found that she worked well with Capricorn, though Victoria later confronted her about Capricorn when she noticed their getting along.[61] She had enough control over her power that she was able to fly on one of Narwhal's force fields by bending space to change its path.[62]
Post-Goddess' Takeover[]
She was mobilized as part of Wardens during the African crisis.[63]
Vista fortified the ruins of Brockton Bay with extensive use of her powers, in order to defend it from an attack by March and her team. This ultimately resulted in her being "killed" by March during her rush to the time-bubbles.[64] It later turned out that this was a fake-out, and that Vista had shortened March's blade as it had entered her chest plate, stopping the attack from being lethal.
The morning of next day, this fake-out was used to outplay and kill March, and scatter her team.[65]
Post-Time Bubble Pop[]
Decided to attempt to get a boyfriend post chest injuries caused by March during a rather humorous rant on how she is old enough to swear.[66]
Vista escorted Breakthrough to Earth Shin together with Golem and Miss Militia, and was imprisoned with them. She was instrumental in bypassing the prison's security and foiling Shin's provocations.
Fought in Cinereal-led group during the second Wardens' assault on Teacher's Compound.[67]
Post-Attack on Teacher[]
Started dating Byron Vera.
Met resurrected Clockblocker and Kid Win.[68]
Vista was reprimanded by Narwhal for the event with Capricorn.[69]
The Ice Breaks[]
Vista was in the Narwhal's team during the assault against the Titans.[70] During the off-time she briefly visited Breakthrough and Byron Vera several times.
During the fights with The Simurgh she stayed by the side of Byron. With the help of Clockblocker during the initial fight they attempted to anchor and freeze The Simurgh through Byron's constructs.[71][72][73]
During the parahuman plague deployment Vista helped out with the logistics. She received the virus from Victoria and through Byron, after assurance that it will not knock her out too early.[74] During the sleep she met shard-ghosts of Gallant, Bastion, and Aegis.[75]
Ward Epilogue[]
Vista was promoted to the leader of Junior Wardens team.[76]

Trivia[]
- Echidna-made copies of Missy are given the name 'Scape', as in landscape, mirroring Missy's cape name of Vista which also deals with a view.
- It is not confirmed that Missy has green eyes, the only description of her eyes while unmasked refers to a artistic picture portrait with modified colors.[11]
- According to a Merchandise cape card by Wildbow; Vista is the highest rated shaker of the East Coast Wards.

He wasn't the cutest or the best or the most well-rounded individual, but he was kind and he was a gentleman, so I figured 'good enough'. Is that shitty to say?"
"I dunno," I said.
"Sometimes high school boys are like men, but brand new or the rougher edges aren't quite sanded off, but they're still men, you know? Young men. And sometimes they're... half formed. And Tyler was half-formed. Needing a few more pieces before he was a complete person. But he was a first kiss and a chance to make a lot of stupid mistakes where I was selfish or dramatic or needed to figure out how to talk to people."
"Sure," I said. It was a pretty different experience from my own. I was ninety-five percent sure that when Vista thought of a 'young man' she was thinking of Gallant.
"And we messed around but we didn't mess around. Then somewhere along the line we mutually ghosted one another, I guess. And from there I had a Wards summer camp thing, and it was kind of like High Hill Bravo except we kind of had to be way more careful about it. We knew we were only there for three weeks, and we wasted a week before I had the courage to approach him, so there wasn't any time for being polite. Got a lot of things out of the way." - Black 13.3 - ↑ 8.0 8.1 8.2 Vista met with her parents. Crystal had talked to Vista enough to know the details. Give even a hint of being on one parent's side and a bystander could earn the lasting enmity and suspicion of the other. Her dad had gotten cancer, her mom had slept with his brother instead of supporting him. Her two dogs had both disappeared around the time he found out about the cheating, and that had been the start.
Ask him, even today, and he would be ready with an argument about how she couldn't take care of him or her daughter so how could she take care of animals, he'd given them away to caring owners, she was a psychopath whore, and so on. Ask her, and she would describe how he'd neglected their relationship and they'd been on the outs for a long time before she cheated, he refused to give any proof he'd given her dogs away and not killed them... It was the same for every set of incidents thereafter. Neither had wanted to move from the family home because that made getting an eventual share of the house in the divorce harder, and neither had wanted to initiate the divorce because they'd believed in their own righteousness enough that a 'fair' divide of assets wouldn't be enough- they had to break down the other. So they'd stayed together and lived in the same house for a year before even initiating the separation, while having fights loud enough that police had been called. All with a ten year old girl caught in the midst of it.
Later, a frustrated judge had found what he thought was a compromise: that the house would remain unsold, with Vista remaining in one place while the parents alternated a paired custody of house and Vista, each parent maintaining a separate residence they would be in when not taking care of Vista and the house. Bad fucking idea, when competing renovations, rearrangement of furniture and things, and other passive hostility came into play. The divorce hadn't happened until a few years into it. - Excerpt from Interlude 15.a II - ↑ "I tried, but you were... it was uncharted territory. I couldn't talk to your aunt or Jane or any other parents about this stuff. You didn't want me talking to the parents of the other Wards. Are you mad?

- ↑ "Order number two is to let yourself cry, damn it. Stop holding it back."
Just the mention of crying made her eyes water again. Vista wiped it away once more, "I've cried enough."
"If your body wants to cry, then you should listen to it. It doesn't make you any weaker if you let it happen. You think I've never cried? Looking like I do, facing the disappointments and frustrations I have? Maybe it's self-serving to think so, but I think it takes a kind of strength to let yourself face your emotions like that."
The tears were rolling down her cheeks, now. She let her head hang, her damp hair a curtain between her and her team leader. He stood, pulled her into a hug. She pressed her face against his shirt. It was soft, but the body beneath was hard, unyielding. It was still very gentle.
When she pulled away, a few minutes later, his shirt was damp. She sniffled, taking the offered tissue to wipe at her eyes and nose, Weld spoke, gently, "I'm always here to talk, and the therapist will be there too."
Vista nodded. - Excerpt from Sentinel 9.5 - ↑ Feeling strangely calm despite the pain that radiated through the back of her head, where it had struck the ground, Vista spoke, "Weld said it takes a kind of strength to face your emotions.

Vista's one of the kids who keeps the myth alive. Clockblocker is sort of a one trick pony, his trick involves screwing with one of the key forces of our universe, but it's just one thing. Vista also messes with physics on a fundamental level, but she's versatile.[...]Every time we've run into her, she's been faster and overall more powerful with her power, and she's had new tricks. Every second she's on the battlefield is a second things become harder for us. - Agitation 3.3
- ↑ "You're a lieutenant to one of the top Wardens or something?"
"Narwhal. Sometimes Cinereal." - Excerpt from Sundown 17.2 - ↑ A dozen or so feet to his right was Vista, wearing a costume with a skirt, all covered in wavy, swooping lines that alternated between white and forest green. She had some body armor worked into her costume design. Her breastplate was molded to give the illusion of a chest, but that didn't do anything to conceal the fact that she was still young enough that I could have kicked her ass in a straight up fistfight. If she was older than twelve, she was a late bloomer. - Excerpt from Agitation 3.8
- ↑ She was blushing, and furiously trying to suppress it and hide it, messing with her wavy, dirty-blonde hair by combing it with her fingers, arms up near her face, hiding most of it. - Excerpt from Sundown 17.2
- ↑ A comb ran through her hair, drawing some relaxer or counter-agent for the stuff she'd put into it before, to make it wavier, fuller, and shaggier in body. She plucked the visor from my hand, plugged in an earbud that dangled from it, before pulling on ear protection over it, with an attached visor and headband for hair that was now straight and parted. - Excerpt from Sundown 17.4
- ↑ Her eyes, costume and the frame of the picture were a high-saturation blue-green, the background of the image a sunset orange to highlight her blonde hair. - Excerpt from Sentinel 9.5
- ↑ Vista, for her part, was a little taller, her hair longer, tied in a french braid that was clipped just in front of one shoulder. She was packing a heavier gun. Probably something Kid Win had made. - Excerpt from Sting 26.2

- ↑ And, last but not least, Vista. She had to be seventeen now. As old as I'd been when I'd been hospitalized. She'd updated her costume to show the skin she hadn't been able to show as a Ward, with legs bare, shoulders and arms uncovered, and she'd dressed up other parts, with new gloves and boots with less cloth and more armor, and a redecoration of the breastplate, so it had grooves running through it. There was a texture to her visor, to the point that it just looked like a pane of opaque green glass, etched with ripples. She had a scarf loose around her shoulders more than her neck, which made me think of Miss Militia. - Excerptfrom Shadow 5.7

The horizon should have been straight, or at least a gentle curve to accommodate the planet's natural curvature, but it was almost a wavy line.

"Just how much area is she manipulating?" I asked.

- ↑ Vista stepped out into the middle of the road at the edge of the fissure, then concentrated. She felt her power extend to every solid object in front of her, formed a map in her head. There was nobody out there, which made it easier. Slowly, carefully, she began adjusting. She truncated the length of Lord street, then did it again, repeating the process to make the four lane road shorter and shorter. The fissure down the center of the road squeezed against itself like a compressed spring. - Excerpt from Sentinel 9.5

Halo. Sundancer. A handful of masters with projection powers. A cape with a giant mask.
All powers that made stuff.
A ring of razor-sharp gold that produced forcefields and lasers. A miniature sun. Soldiers of stone. A golden mask. I had each of them make the individual objects as big as they could get.
I retrieved Chevalier, and I did the same with his cannonblade, raising it to its maximum capacity.
Then I accessed Vista. And I made it all bigger. - Excerpt from Speck 30.5 - ↑ Sundancer moved the orb in between them and Trickster, igniting a few of the pieces of wood that were exposed and above the water. Vista responded by raising her hand to shrink it dramatically. - Sentinel 9.3

Miss Militia interrupted his gloating with a shot from a rocket launcher. His claws dug deep into pavement as he resisted being knocked over. She used her power to reload the rocket launcher and shot him again, uprooting him. Triumph used a full-power shout to send Crawler sliding across the clearing Vista had made.

There was no reply. There might have been nods, but I didn't have bugs on top of any of the Ward's heads.
The doors shut, and a few seconds passed, Kid Win, Crucible, and Vista standing in the hallway with a handful of PRT officers.
"Fuck," Vista said. "Fuck this. Fuck you, Skitter, if you can hear me." - Excerpt from Cell 22.3 - ↑ Teneral e.4
- ↑ Except- no. No, this was a familiar smudging and smearing. One that worked with us.
You made it, little V, I thought.

"You have a thing for unattainable guys in heavy armor."
I saw her react, like she'd been punched in the gut, before she steeled herself. I could even work out the thought process, as she noted that others were in a position to see us and her. She couldn't react too visibly.
"Dead son of a c*nt, I might actually," she said, under her breath. "Unattainable why?"
