Steve said that he would be waiting for her in the park. Mia was excited. She had been waiting for "life to come by it self" just as Tony said in the future, and life had brought Steve to her. More than two years after her visit to the future, she had found Steve on the subway and even when it was not the nicest of the meetings, she had to accept that her joy was bigger than her fear. Steve had meet her in a time of her life in which she still did not feel that she was able to deal with her problem. He also was greatly surprised for this much younger Steve, even when he still spoke to her like a father. The first approach was difficult, but she was anxious for her future, she wanted to meet the rest of her friends again and she wanted to know what role they would have in her life.

She made special efforts to look pretty on that day, she wanted to cause a good impression on Steve and arrived earlier to the meeting. The park was empty, the atmosphere was quiet, and she took place in a bench under the trees. It was the fourth time that she would meet Steve, and she knew that he was especially interested on the black fog after the subway's episode. He had a lot of questions, but she was not able to answer all of them. All she knew was reduced to one thing: destructive energy drawn her into a dangerous darkness, but some energy, like the one that she could feel when Steve was around, was like a soft breeze that made her feel stronger. - "His" – she thought – was a kind of energy that she had never felt somewhere else; It made her feel cosy and had the same effect of a glass of wine in her blood.

She recognized Steve's figure walking into her direction, he still was far from her but with nobody else in the place she could easily see him at the other side at the end of the pad. He was not alone, at first sight, she could see another figure walking beside him, but it only was after she made some efforts to recognize that person when she almost jumped to leave her bench.

-"The White Wolf"- she could hear herself and distinguished the happiness in her own voice. She had found impossible to track him during the last years, but her lonely friend of the future was finally there. She looked different, obviously younger, just like Steve, he had long hair tied in a Ponytail and looked not less handsome than his best friend. For a moment, she felt her own blush getting stronger because watching both of them, now, as a young woman and not as a teenager anymore, made her feel more aware that she had hot blood in her veins.

Steve was especially attractive on that day, he was wearing dark glasses, a long white shirt and blue jeans, he also had probably shaved on the same day and looked simply gorgeous. The White Wolf was also wearing dark glasses but a black shirt and jeans too. He had a different way to walk, there was a certain darkness on him but he did not look so defeated like in the future. She missed his beard but without it she could see the perfect form of his jaw and his lips and was surprised about how hot and dangerous this young Wolf looked.

Mia decided to concentrate her self in calming down by watching the trees of the park.

Both men got closer, she could hear Steve's voice saying her name and startet to feel his breeze inundating the air.

-Good morning Mia – He smiled and she started to feel a little drunk, after that, the only hello she could give back was the one of a seriously agitated girl.

-Hi Steve

Steve started to like Mia, she was a nice woman, maybe not spectacular but when she smiled, her eyes sparkled and her whole mimic was attractive, she had a soft physiognomy and a beautiful hair. Still, he always had very present what Mia could be when she loosed control and was carefull about it. On that day, he had taken Bucky with him with more than one intention. First, he wanted to know Bucky's opinion about Mia and second … he wanted to see Mia's reaction to Bucky's mind.

-Bucky, this is Mia … - The clouds had covered the sun but Steve kept his glasses to be able to catch exactly their reactions.

Bucky, instead, took away his own pair and his clear metal eyes watched directly into Mia's eyes. Mia, was still smiling at the moment and was not ready for the avalanche breaking into her mind, Bucky's energy slapped her and the consternation did not let her speak again. Instead, she attempted a smile. Bucky gave a step back but was unable to unlock his eyes from hers.

-My friend Bucky had heard a lot about you during the last days Mia, there is nothing to be afraid; he is my best friend and my family too.

But Mia was paralyzed; the man in front of her was very different to the one she met in the future. He was unrecognizable, a cordillera of fear, fury and pain… even his loneliness was another one. She was completely shocked.

Bucky pressed his lips -At first, he did not know what to do but then, he realized that something wrong was going on. -then, he whispered -I may go if you wish it

-No -She said, and her No was a beg.- I'm sorry, I was just …

-I know what you can do Mia, I apologize for what … - he said - Steve was so kind to prevent me -He felt embarrassed and went on stepping back

-No, Don't be stupid – Mia answered, and she was loud. At the same time, she couldn't believe how unrespectful she sounded and got scared about her own reaction, Steve seemed to understand that she could be disturbed because Bucky's emotions but when he was finally ready to say something Mia made a sign with her hand to stop him. She knew Bucky, she liked Bucky in fact, she liked him very much, but she needed some time to understand the kind of man he was on his past.

-Is not your fault -she said – actually, it is something else – and she was saying the true, because she was expecting to find the same White Wolf, but she couldn't explain it to them. She had sworn never to mention the future to them; the risk of changing something was too big. – I just remembered something, but that is not important anymore -she continued apologizing, but the damage was done. Bucky was feeling very uncomfortable.

-Look, I just wanted to see by my self i you really looked like a normal person or like a witch, somebody has to take care of Steve from time to time. Now, I should let you two have a walk and speak together, I have some other things to do today -Said Bucky – Steve… I see you later in home... Mia, sorry about that, still, have a nice day – Bucky smiled to both of them and turned around.

Mia realized how creepy was her reaction and felt terribly sorry, she had planned to find him before but was never successful and this one was not the kind of meeting she had in mind. She remembered his last hug and his defeated figure when she left him in the future and felt the same Panic. She looked desperately around her and found Steve looking at her; she almost pounced him when she placed both arms over his shoulders, then, Steve felt his legs to melt under him and he saw her trying to breathe, looking for calm while extending an arm in Bucky's direction… the fog appeared and got dispersed in his direction. Bucky did not have the opportunity to see what she was doing but stopped, he felt an invisible wall in front of him preventing him from keep going and stayed still for a moment, then, the almost imperceptible fog reached him, and he turned back. Steve and Mia were staring at him, he locked his eyes again on hers, trying to understand what she had done. His confusion was great but only then she had enough time to look into his eyes too and to recognize him, several seconds passed and suddenly a smile of authentic joy appeared in her lips, she felt the necessity to clear her throat because of the emotions. Her feelings were now mixed, they stayed like this some seconds more, it felt like the first time for Bucky, but it was not the first one for her, he had entered a moment of incredible awareness too difficult to describe, he could feel a calming breeze, the sun warming his skin, moreover, he could hear the leaves moving on the trees as clear as never before but the only thing he could see were her eyes. He had not the smallest Idea of what was happening, but he seemed not to care a lot about it. Steve saw his mien turning relaxed and content, then Bucky said goodbye again using his hand and left with a smile on his face.

She stared at him until she was not able to see him anymore, she had forgotten Steve until she caught him watching her with authentic emotion.

-well, well -he said – you are not only able to manipulate destructive emotions Miss. Fog -He was starting to smile too. -would you sit with me for a while to explain what you just made to my friend?

That was the first time Bucky felt the real power of Mia, she could let emotions control her and manipulate her for bad, or she could re-shape emotions for good and that is something that Steve would discover soon.

Days later...

Sam and Tony were already in the bar, they arrived half an hour before the others to speak in private. It was Sam's birthday and Bucky did not want to say no to this friendly invitation to have a drink with him. The others were supposed to arrive at 19:00 and for that reason he appeared before; he wanted to say hello and to disappear as fast as possible before he could meet somebody else. When he arrived, Steve was already there and he was worried about something.

-Is everything ok with you? – he asked curious

-Not really, I had another of those days …

-What you mean? Have you seen your friend the witch again? – asked Sam

Bucky lowered his beer - What did she made this time? – He asked

-Her name is Mia and she is not a witch Sam -Steve corrected again -well, Wanda says that she is not a Witch. I have talked to her about Mia, and she does not work with magic.

-What does she use then? -Sam came again with the same question for probably a third time

-"Energy" – said Bucky – "She manipulates energy from emotions" - that's what Steve is always saying about it, everybody knows that.

-uuuh -Said Sam – I hope he does not find you in a bad mood ... forget it, you are always mad

Steve had got a headache because today he had seen her again and things were not exactly as he expected.

-How many times have you seen her? - Asked Sam getting more comfortable on his chair

Steve hesitated before answering - eight … nine times after the train's episode.

Bucky got surprised because he did not know about more meetings and Sam got more interested in her- How does she look?

Steve did not answer, but Bucky did – Well, she does not look like an Obscurus, neither like the girl of The Ring movie. - He still could see her image in front of him, he still had her eyes on his mind and the delicious feeling involving him while they were in the park. – she looks actually very good I would say.

-well, not always- Said Steve - Today I have seen again the consequences when things go wrong.

-explain it – Sam still was thinking on his witch theory.

-There has been a fight on the street between two gangs and there was a family with children very close, they did not have a chance to go out of their way. I went to help, she was supposed to stay away but then, everything occurred very fast; A man threw a Molotov right there were the parents were standing.

-Good Lord! What happened? – asked both friends

-She turned into that thing again, I could see the explosive being involved by the fog, it was like a field.

-Did she deactivate it?

Steve stayed in silence for a while -No, she started to move it back in the middle of the gangs.

Both friends looked each other -did she killed somebody?

-No! she did not, I screamed to her until she heard me. Guys, the negative energy possess her, she was not planning to deactivate it.

-What happened to the explosive? -asked Bucky

-I had to beg for that – Steve remembered how different she looked when she manipulated the artifact, the empty eyes and the black fog around – Finally she made it to explode inside that field of fog. First, I tough that nobody had been hurt, but then I discovered from whom she took that energy because the man of the Molotov is now in coma.

-Did she absorb his energy? -asked Bucky

-Well… that was not my energy, not the one from the family or the children… that thing, the way she slowly moved the explosive was evil, how she kept in the air in front of their heads.

-Steve – said Sam meditating his words – maybe is time to offer our help to control that before she makes something bad.

-That is what I was thinking. Wanda said already that what people have in their minds is dangerous, and it is a matter of time until she meets the wrong person.

-Or the right one - whispered Bucky and then, Sam and Steve looked to him trying to understand what he wanted to say. -She had met "you" Steve – He smiled and then continued - You have seen what she is able to make when she lets energy possess her mind, but you also have seen the other thing she can do… - Sam did not know what he meant and Steve started to explain to him.

-She can control the energy for better purposes, Bucky knows that, he had felt her …

-Magic? -Sam went on annoying both friends at the same time.

Bucky reminded in silence thinking in a possibility - If she could empty people's mind and take their energy away, she could also use his energy – he got scared, because until that day, he was the only one aware of the nightmare inside him.

That evening Bucky went home alone; From time to time he thought on the woman of the Fog, every night, he waited for his eyes get tired and felt a sleep but after the meeting in the park he started to feel the same breeze again and again, his body became light and felt into a peaceful sleep after some minutes. Her eyes were always in his mind and the sound of the leaves of the trees was still on his ear. -Maybe Sam is right – He started to think -She must be a witch.

A couple of days later there was an article on the newspapers, somebody had written about a fantastic event: a fight on the streets, and a Molotov cocktail exploding inside a magnetic field, there were no injured because of that but there was one man broken for his emotions in a psychiatric clinic.
