Who: James and Open!
What: James is out wandering
Where: Around the cabin he and his mother share with Clint
Status: In Progress/Open
Rating: TBD

The days had ticked slowly by since Clint had joined him and his mother. At first James was anything but fond of the idea. Clint was a vampire and had attacked him. But when he started paying real attention to things, he could see how much different his mother was. Natasha was...happier. More alive. It gave James enough pause to think that he should give the vampire a chance.

Sighing some, the teen wandered through the woods surrounding the cabin they were staying in, bored. Things for the moment were quiet but he knew that wouldn't last for long. He wanted to be ready in case anything happened. His thoughts eventually turned to that of his father and he wondered what Steve was doing now. Was he still alive? Was he fighting off the zombies and vampires that were threatening the world? And what of the other Avengers? Had they all been killed or worse?

Grunting when she grabbed him, he glared at her. But when she made a threat against his mother... Stumbling when she shoved him back he regained his footing quickly and clenched his fists. He stared her in the eye, his eyes blazing in defiance. "I don't know what Clint plans to do Rebekah. I just know that he chose to stay with us after he found us in the woods."

It was the truth and James hadn't really pestered the vampire about his plans. Besides, he and his mother needed catching up and James so did not want to interrupt any of that.

She regarded him carefully for a moment before deciding that was the truth. James had no idea what Clint planned to do which only made sense. He was the child in the equation. Rebekah wondered how it felt to have to share his mother after all of these years and her expression softened a notch.

Walking past him she stared down at the shack, catching a glimpse of Clint and Natasha embracing through the window. She had never seen that look on his face before. He had served her loyally for years, she wasn't going to break up his reunion. He deserved a holiday. If she needed him in the future she would come back to find him.

"Pleasure meeting you, James," she said before she turned to head back towards the forest.

	James watched her as she stared at the cabin. When she seemed she was leaving, he cleared his throat. "Why do you want Clint back?" he asked, curiosity in his voice. "I mean, you have a whole town of vampires. What makes him so special to you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rebekah paused for a second at the sound of James's question before she turned around to face the boy.

"I made him," she said. He wasn't the only vampire she had made but Rebekah was selective. Most of the other vampires in Everett had been made by others and were just smart enough to know when to follow their betters orders. Rebekah didn't just go turning every pretty face who came her way. A person had to be special to receive such attentions. "And that makes him mine. Forever."

Which meant he could be Natasha's for a little while when eternity was in the mix. What was so interesting to Rebekah was that the redhead hadn't seemed to age very much. She was curious as to why and would find out. Just not today.

James shook his head at her words. "He has free will. That makes him his own person. Not yours." He lifted his head again, the wound he had gotten from Clint still healing on his neck. "Just leave us alone." It was probably stupid to be making demands like that but James wasn't growing fond of this woman. She seemed self entitled and superior just because she was stronger. That didn't make her right.

"You have a lot to learn about life and death, James," Rebekah said rather calmly. A fourteen year old wasn't likely to have the understanding of the universe that someone as old as Rebekah did. Life wasn't fair so why would should death be? And the blonde vampire felt she was being rather kind by letting Clint be to enjoy his time with Natasha.

Of course, should the time come (and it likely would) that she would need his assistance again, she would have no trouble finding them here and using James as a hostage if need be. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that but with Clint you never could be sure.

And as if he was nothing, she walked away from him. Because he was nothing.

For now.

James watched her go. He needed to tell his mother and Clint that Rebekah had been there and knew where they were staying. They needed to move but James wasn't sure where they could go that Rebekah couldn't track them to. Short of completely leaving the area at least. But like Natasha had said, this was the last area his father knew they were at.

Once she was gone he leapt up onto the branches of a tree using his natural born enhancements (having two biologically/genetically engineered parents had it's perks) and moved quickly but carefully down to the cabin, wondering what they would do.
