Would it be selfish of me to say "Thank you sir, may I have another?"
Only 2 chapters in but I like the direction so far. Curious to see how Tony will take Buffy's insertion into his life when he makes it back (can't remember how long he was missing in the movie... weeks? months? Will Buffy have managed to settle in/start to recover before then? Buffy at this point in canon wasn't "battle weary" / suicidal like she becomes several seasons later, but she's had a huge shock in your story.)
Wondering how the Council will react.
And the ramifications of Kendra not dying. Does that mean no Faith in this story? Hmmm...
And hoping Buffy doesn't completely abandon her friends in Sunnydale.
Curious to see what Buffy thinks of Tony's "toys" but really hoping she doesn't become a mini-Tony.
I felt like shazamfan read my mind about upcoming possibilities, but that said, your story and so far it is engaging and well crafted. Thank you for sharing it.

Wow! At first I was going to pass on this, but my inner Iron Man fanboy refused to let me do so. Smart inner geek that fanboy! I was blown away by the first two chapters. This is shaping up to be one hell of a great fic and I look forward to seeing how it merges with the Iron Man movie.
Some highlights that really hit it for me was Giles thoughts on how Travers would handle the news of who Buffy is now. I am soooooooooooo looking forward to reading that one.
I do hope that Buffy stays as well Buffy. Sure her name is Elizabeth, but she is also Buffy. I can see her once she starts to recover from the loss of her mothers adopt the Buffy airhead persona she used on vamps be used on Stane and others.
Be fun to see Happy sparing with Buffy and well her letting a little of the Slayer out to play.
One has to wonder if Cordy might be thinking...oh my gawd Summers isn't Summers...she is a STARK! The Cordettes freaking out too and thinking...damn if we had only sucked up to her more. Some of them thinking Willow and Xander knew, which was why the losers hung around with Buffy.
Please have Willow come to visit, perhaps once Tony is back and she along with Tony and perhaps Buffy tinker around and build her own JARVIS. Be better if it was just Willow and Buffy dabbling around to build JOCASTA. But that can be a while down the road.
Wonder if Buffy will let Willow be left alone by her folks now that she has the Stark family name to toss around. Same with Xander.
I vote for Buffy not taking well to Agent Coleson. And Stane...well I think she would want a shower after being in the same room with him. I can see her trying to warn Tony about him and he not listening.
Again, FANTASTIC tale so far. Looking forward to many more chapters.
-J-

Oh good! I thought for a long second that this would be a one time thing. Glad to see its not. I like this idea so keep it up. I can't wait to see her go shopping and eventually met Tony....

Okay very good, Buffy is starting to react to something other than pain and loss. She needs time and she was not getting it in SunnyD. It will be interesting to see if Quintin Travers actually does the smart thing and backs off, if not he could be writing the death warrant for the Council of Watchers. Tony may not be there right now but Pepper Pots is going to be VERY protective of Buffy. Plus I don't think you should write Tony off as a Dad, remember he experienced a truly bad father in Howard Stark, he will really not want to recreate that experience. He may not know how to do it but he will probably try very hard to spend time with Buffy - I can see him trying to get her involved in the whole Iron Tech thing. I am not sure it will work out but Buffy - not as air headed as she pretends to be.
By the way - GREAT Chapter, thanks!

I like this lots. I appreciate the angst and guilt you have worked into this story. It rings true to the personality that Buffy always displayed. While Tony might not be the best father in the world, I can see him being enough of an irritant to bring Buffy back to life. I can definitely see him telling her a few home truths that she will not want to hear. Not to mention what he does to the Watcher's Council. Good work, I'm looking forward to more very soon.
Yay! I was so happy to see an update to this story! The first part from Giles POV was a good intro to the problems that Travers is likely to attempt to cause. This chapter was also a good peek into what Buffy is feeling, or her lack of feeling at this point in the grieving process. I hope you can update again soon.

I absolutely adore this! The idea behind... the possibilities of what might happen in the future... the eventual lead up into the Avengers.. I loves it!! Please update soon!

Okay, so this is set at the beginning of the Iron Man Movies when Tony is grabbed by terrorists, and mid-November Season 2 after Angel turns? Angelus obviously went after Joyce, which was a mistake on his part, Buffy took on three master vampires and minions, from the first part she not only killed them she took them down hard enough to torture them some before she killed them.
So she has a really bad case of PTSD, plus missing her support structure. I hope Pepper can help her.
This is very good, I hope you continue. I will be tracking.
