The fifteen year old boy crouched in the tree as he watched the vampire below. He knew it was dangerous to be out alone but it was daylight and a majority of the vampires stayed in during the day given their habit of combusting into flames unless they had a ring or some other sort of protection to be out in the sun. But it was clear from this vampire that it had no such protection if the crude but effective lean-to it had made was any indication. Grinning some, he leapt easily from tree to tree with the wind to hide his movements until he was behind the shelter.

Grabbing the heavy cloth, he yanked it off and leapt away as the vampire began screaming and running to find shade but to no avail. Grinning in victory, the teen carefully but quickly began making his way back to the shelter he and his mother were staying at. Easily maneuvering through the traps, he cracked his window open and pulled himself inside before turning to ease it shut, hoping his absence hadn't been noticed. He brushed some dirt off of his black leather jacket his mother had given him before tugging it off and tossing it haphazardly to the floor.

"A few years ago...he was sent by SHIELD to help out a small community. Since then, I don't know where he went. We lost track of him, and he lost track of us." She reached out to brush his cheek again. "But I know, James, that wherever he is, he's trying the best he can to get back to us. To you. That's another reason why I've kept us in this general vicinity...it's the last place he knew where we were."

	James nodded some. Absently he fiddled with his hands and stared at them. "Do...do you think he'd be proud of me?" he asked, his voice a bit quiet. He tried his best to be what his mother wanted and what he thought his father wanted but sometimes it just felt like he was constantly falling short of that and he hated it.

	Catching hold of his chin, she tilted his head up and met his eyes again, simple honesty shining in her own. "James, I know that if Steve were to see you today, he would be proud and honored to call you his son." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The teen smiled some before nodded, a small bit of a flush on his face. "I just don't want to let him down. Or you," he said, looking at her. "And...I am sorry I went off alone today. But there was a vampire nearby hiding from the sun, not even a mile and a half away." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You won't." Her hand fell after a moment, and at his words, her eyes widened slightly. "That close?" She wished he'd told her before. Grabbing her pack, she reached into it for a pouch full of vervain, adding a small dose to the stew, then holding out a bit to him. It wasn't the first time they'd had the herb, and she knew that for some of the vampires, at least, it could keep them safe. "You killed it?"

	He watched her add the vervain to the stew and he nodded. "Yeah. It was hiding from the sun in a lean-to," he said. He took the vervain and pulled a bit out for himself and looked at her. "I ripped the lean-to down and it burned in the sun," he returned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She took a few leaves and chewed them herself, then swallowed as she studied him. "You're certain? You actually saw it burn?" Natasha didn't like the thought of one being so close, and was glad she'd decided they were going to be leaving the next day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James nodded, swallowing the vervain and brushed his hair from his eyes again. "I didn't leave until it stopped moving. And put a branch in their heart for good measure. Better safe than sorry, right?" he asked, hoping he had done the right thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
