Seven for the last couple o' sentences or so. I thought that was a bit silly. Otherwise, it's off to an interesting start ... maybe because I'm not 18 anymore, I'd like to see Xander age a bit before any X/I starts floating around. I like where this story might head ... Xander is one of those characters with more potential than he was allowed in the series (because the show is about female empowerment and redemption). It's good to seem him move into his own.

Extremely interesting start - a few rough spots with spelling and awkward wording though. Giles' insistence on taking care of Xander & his wardrobe, as well as the threat to the men was amusing. I also like how you describe Xander's reactions, he's taking things seriously but also very much himself at this time in the series. Its ends on a suitably cliffhanger note.
A few suggestions... You shouldn't assume your readers know the crossover, most authors do that but if you want the uninitiated to try a story you should give a little background, or a link to find it, as to the 'Hellsing" universe.
Also, in your header please spell out exactly who this "I" is in the relationship of "X/I". If "I" is female please add the warning of Het with Xander/OFC or something similar. If "I" is male, then please indicate the warning appropriately.

giggle... first, Xander placing an urgent call to Giles to interpret 'Brit-speak' and the Giles-reaction to WHY...
The suit forming around Xander was an interesting image as well. Okay, it was being tailored into existence around him by a small sworm of staff, but still.
And the final moments with the attack (surely that will leave a black mark on his record!) and the sword...
PLEASE continue this fic - I look forward to seeing what will happen next.

Good start so far. At first I thought that Xander was going to be a Hellsing, so good job with the misdirection there. The other thing it this a Xander/Integra fic. Any way please keep up the AWESOME work.
