This is now its own story and does not have anything to do with the Hunter's Prey. Chapter 2 is on its way. The story will be developed through a series of letters and eventually dialogue between characters.

Dear mommy,

You don't know me, but that isn't your fault. Daddy says you would be here if you could,but he also says we don't always get what we want in life. He talks about you a lot and he tells lots of stories so I know you, but you don't have anyone to tell you stories. I am writing you because I want you to know me!

My name is Nathan Tobias Barton. I am eight years old and I'm in 5th grade! Everyone says I am really smart, but I just think the work is easy. Daddy says I get my brain from you and that I am very lucky. I am really tall for my age(daddy still makes fun of you for being short) and people say I look like you even though I have blond hair. I have a bunch of freckles because I am outside with daddy a lot. I am pretty quiet so I don't have a lot of friends, but daddy says that is ok because you didn't have a lot of friends either.

My best friend is Hanley, Uncle Steve's son. We play together a lot and daddy has been teaching us how to spar. Sometimes Patrick will play with us too, but he can be annoying, just like Uncle Tony! I still like him though. Out favorite game to play is super hereos. We have to pick a person to be and we try to save the world. I always pick you, even though you were a girl. I just make you cooler by being a boy! Daddy says you were the best spy in the world and I believe him.

I guess I am a good boy. I try to stay out of trouble and I don't get into trouble a lot, but daddy still does! Pepper says that it is because you aren't around to keep him in line. That always makes me laugh! The last time I got in trouble was for talking back to Fury, but he just wouldn't be quiet! Daddy laughed when I asked him to please shut up. He said I was definitely your son. That made me happy.

There is a lot I want to tell you, but it is hard to think of it all right now. I wish I could spend a day talking to you, that would be a lot easier. But I know that can't happen...It makes daddy sad when I say stuff like that. He tells me I am wise beyond me years a lot, but he always looks sad when he says it. I know you probably worry about daddy, but he is ok. He still loves you, you know? We spend a lot of time talking about you. I know he misses you.

I miss you too mommy. I wish you were here with us every day. I wish you could give me hugs and kisses. I wish you could tuck me in at night. Knowing that you cant makes me sad sometimes, but daddy always makes me feel better even though he will cry too.

I don't know how, but daddy says that one day we will all be together again. I guess I will understand when I am older, but until then I will just keep missing you. I hope you are having fun where ever you are. Oh, and one last thing: I love you mommy.

Your son,

Nathan
