Buffy sat on the bus on the way back to Sunnydale after her summer in L.A dreading what was going to happen next, she had only talked to her mother a few times since she left Sunnydale, so she was rather nervous. As she walked up to her front door she started to panic internally but knocked on the door anyway. She waited a moment before her mother opened the door, the two threw their arms around each other. Buffy felt relieved she was finally home.
A few hours later Buffy is unpacking her things; she looks around the room for a minute before grabbing her jacket and heading to her mother's room.
"Mom?" Buffy says as she enters the room to see her mother reading, Joyce is startled by Buffy's appearance and almost falls out of her chair "Oh! Buffy."
"Sorry."
"No, no. Don't worry about it. I guess I just got used to all the quiet while you were gone. But it's no problem." Joyce stands from her chair, when she notices Buffy holding her jacket "You going out?"
Buffy looks down "Oh. Um...well, if it's ok. I, um, I'd like to find Willow and Xander."
"Will you be slaying?"
"Only if they give me lip."
"Uh, can I make you a sandwich or something before you go? You must be starving."
"I was until that 4-course snack you served me after dinner."
"Well, then, you know, why don't I drive you? I mean, they could be anywhere."
"Mom...If you don't want me to go, just say so."
"No, no. I just want to put this whole thing behind us, get back to normal. You go. Have a good time."
Buffy smiles slightly at her mother "Ok." She gives her mom a small wave before leaving the house and going to find her friends.

Buffy is walking in one of the cemeteries when she hears yelling "He's getting away!" Yells one of the voices, Buffy immediately recognises the voice as Willow's, she runs towards the voice when a vampire runs towards her, it crashes into her causing the two to roll on the ground. Buffy flips her self back up; she throws the vampire 10 feet away from her and he ends up landing in front of Willow, Oz and Xander who are all on the floor. "What the hell?" Xander says confused. The vampire jumps back up and turns to Buffy and growls "Slayer."
Xander, Oz and Willow heads' all shoot in her direction "Buffy!" They all yell surprised "Hey guys." Buffy says before flipping over the headstone and standing in front of the vampire. She punches the vampire in the face and swings her leg around knocking him off his feet "Stake?" She asks only to have Xander toss her one "thanks." Buffy says before driving the stake in the vampires heart.
Buffy stands from her crouched position and turns to her friends "Hey guys." Buffy says with a nervous smile on her face. The three smile at her and all hug her "Guys need to breath." Buffy tells them with a strained voice.
"So how was L.A Buffster? Kill anything?" Xander asks with a goofy smile on his face.
Buffy giggles slightly "Actually yes, I killed a ton of Demons two days ago. Did you guys get my letters?"
Willow smiles "Yeah, we did. Buffy I'm so sorry about what happened. We all get why you left, we're just glad you kept in contact."
Buffy smiles at her friends once more, than helps them with the rest of the patrol.

Later that night the four ended up outside Giles's house "What if he's mad?" Buffy asks the three with a worried look. Xander sighs "Buffy it's not like you disappeared off the planet, you kept in contact with everyone and Giles understands after what happened that you needed time away." Xander moves Buffy to stand in front of the door, Buffy huffs then rings the bell. As the door opens there is a awkward silence as Giles stares stunned at Buffy, Xander at this point decided to crack a joke "Check it out. The watcher is back on the clock. And just when you were thinking career change, maybe becoming a looker or a seer."
"Thank you, Xander." Giles says interrupting the joke, his gaze not once leaving Buffy. "Welcome home, Buffy." Buffy smiles and the four of them head inside the house and go to sit down on the couch.
"I got in a few hours ago," Buffy tells them a little while later "but I wanted to go see my mom first."
"Yes. Yes, of course." Giles shrugs "How did you find her?"
"Well, I pretty much remembered the address."
Giles smiles "I mean, uh...how are things between you?" Before Buffy can answer Giles excuses himself to make the tea, leaving the scoobies alone in the living room.
"Hey, so you're not wanted for murder anymore." Oz informs the slayer.
"Good. That was such a drag."
Xander interjects "So Buff why didn't you go to Belgium?"
Buffy smiles "Why would I go to Belgium?"
"I think the relevant question is why wouldn't you? Belgium!" The group giggle as Giles comes back into the room "Here we are then." Giles says as he places the cookies and the tea on the table. "As for school, Buffy, uh, you know you'll have to talk to Principal Snyder before—"
"On it." Buffy interrupts "Mom is making an appointment with his ugliness. I know she can break him."

After a few hours of conversation the four teenagers headed home leaving Giles alone. Right before he went to bed his phone began to ring "Hello?"
"Hello, Rupert." Said Quentin Travers from the other end of the phone.
"Travers. What can I do for you?"
"It seems we may have an issue with Miss Summers."
Giles started to worry "Why would you say that?"
"Well the council has been doing some digging and it appears that the slayer is actually the daughter of one of the most powerful men in the country."
Giles was rather confused now "I'm afraid I don't understand, Buffy's father is a lawyer."
"Her step-father is a lawyer yes. But her biological father is in fact Anthony Stark the owner of Stark industries, one of the most powerful weapons companies in the whole world. You can see how this could be a problem."
Giles froze he knew that the council were very cautious when it came to slayer's who come from powerful families. They were harder to control. But none of the previous slayer had come from this kind of power. "What is going to happen?"
"Well for now we will be keeping an eye on Miss Summers. Also another slayer will be sent to Sunnydale and her watcher will help keep an eye on her so that we can take the appropriate action if it becomes necessary. Good day Rupert."
Giles hung up the phone. Giles knew that Buffy was in extreme danger, if she would not give the council access to Stark industries then they would declare her rouge and order her killed. Giles knew he had to think of a way to protect Buffy.

"Absolutely not." Principle Snyder said as he glared at Buffy and Joyce the next morning "Under no circumstances."
Joyce shook her head "But you can't keep her out of school. You don't have the right."
"I have not only the right, but also a nearly physical sensation of pleasure at the thought of keeping her out of school. I'd describe myself as tingly."
"Buffy was cleared of all those charges."
Snider just smirked "Yes, and while she may live up to the not-a-murderer requirement for enrolment, she is a troublemaker. Destructive to school property and the occasional student. And her grade point average is enough to...I'm sorry another tingle moment. You know her grade point average is actually quite interesting, you used to have a 4.0 GPA with top grades in all classes and a gift for mechanics. Now look at you."
Joyce glares at the evil man "I don't see how you can be so cavalier about a young girl's entire future!"
"I'm quite sure that a girl with the talents and abilities of Buffy will land on her feet. In fact, I noticed as I came in this morning that hot dog on a stick is hiring. You will look so cute in that hat."
Buffy glares angrily at the man "Let's go, mom." Buffy says as she gets up from her seat and walks out of the room her mother following her.

The next morning Buffy and Joyce are in the kitchen talking "I've been on the phone with the superintendent of schools. At least he seems more reasonable than that nasty little horrid, bigoted rodent man."
"Mom—" Buffy sighs.
"Anyway I'm going in to speak with him this afternoon. As for private schools, Miss porter's accepts late admissions.I, uh, I wrote the information down for you." Buffy's eyes widen and she turns to face her mother "A girls' school? So now it's jackets, kilts, and no boys? Care to throw in a little foot-binding?"
"Buffy, you made some bad choices. You just might have to live with some consequences."
"I am already living with the consequences."
Joyce sighed Buffy had told her what had happened with Angel, which now made Joyce feel horrible "Look nothing's settled yet... There may be one more option."
Buffy turns her head in interest "What?"
Joyce shakes her head "Let me try first, then I will tell you." Buffy nods then heads off to her room.

A little while later Joyce is sitting on her bed holding the phone contemplating what she is about to do. She doesn't want to but she know she has to, for Buffy. Buffy needs a fresh start away from this town and he is the only one who can help her. Joyce sighs then dials a number she hasn't dialled in years.

Malibu, California – Stark Industries

Pepper Potts is going through the paper work in Tony's office at Stark industries. She is almost finished when she tries to open one of the draws on Tony's desk only to find it locked "What the—" Pepper had never realised this draw was locked, Pepper sighs and starts to look for the key. A few minuets later she finds the spare key taped to the bottom of the desk. She opens the draw only to find not paper work, or blueprints but photos and drawings. She pulls out the contents of the draws. Pepper is stunned by what she is looking at, there are a ton of report cards for a girl named Buffy. Pepper sees a picture of Tony and a small blonde girl with pigtails who could not have been more than 7 when the photo at the time. The two are smiling while he carried the girl on his back. The next photo is of Tony and the same girl this time she looks about 5 and the two are sitting by Howard's old motorcycle. The girl sits on Tony's lap laughing as she holds a crowbar.
After finding lots of photo's of Tony and the little girl, then finding newspaper articles about a fire at a high school in L.A, she finds a birth certificate. 'Buffy Anne Stark Summers' was the name printed at the top with Tony's name sighed at the bottom as the father "Oh, my, God." Pepper was shocked Tony had a daughter. She couldn't believe it. She quickly rummaged through the photos again and ended up finding one of Buffy and Tony's best friend James. It was then she found the drawing which the girl had most probably done when she was very little, she turned over the picture to see a label 'Me and my daddy' was written in crayon. Pepper sat their stunned, how could she have not known about this, she knew practically everything about Tony yet she had no idea he had a daughter, who he apparently adored and had kept on an eye on over the years yet never talked about. Pepper quickly grabbed some of the photos and the birth certificate before putting the rest back in the draw and heading off the confront Tony.

Tony Stark's mansion Malibu, California

Tony Stark is currently working on some blueprints for his next set of weapons when his phone start to ring "Jarvis could you answer that." Tony asks the A.I
"Of course sir." Jarvis responds
"Tony?" Comes the timid voice of the one and only Joyce Summers. The moment Tony heard the voice he dropped his coffee in shock. He had not from Joyce or even Buffy since they had moved to Sunnydale. "Joyce. What's going on?"
Joyce sighed "Tony I need your help. It's about Buffy."
Tony's head shot up he may not be the best man in the world or even the best father but he adored his daughter. He had always tried to protect her, hell he had even made sure that she would not have to grow up in the public eye. There were very few people who knew about Buffy; some of the members of the board at Stark industries new and had too adored the girl when they had met her and Rhodey of course knew and was actually her godfather. Not even Pepper knew. "What happened?"
"Buffy got expelled from Sunnydale high."
Tony laughed slightly expelled from another school, that troublemaker side was something she definitely got from him. "What do you need me to do?"
Joyce sighs sadly "I want Buffy to get away from Sunnydale for a while, some things happened a few months ago and she ended up running away. Now that she's back I can see just how being in this town affects her. I can't get her into any schools here 'cause of her past and I can't leave because of my job... So... I need you to take her."
Tony almost fell out of his chair. Yes, Buffy had stayed at the mansion from time to time over the years but to have her actually live here he didn't know if he could do that. "Joyce—"
But before he could say anything Joyce interrupted him "No. Tony, she is your daughter and she needs you. I have never asked you for anything, but know I'm asking you, please. Do it for Buffy."
Tony sighed for a moment he was very torn, he did not want to risk Buffy being exposed to the press at least until she was 18. But his daughter needed him "Ok, when should I expect her."
Joyce who was now smiling "I will talk to Buffy and have her up their soon. Thank you Tony."
After Tony hangs up he leans back in his chair stunned his daughter was coming here. To live with him. As much as he tried not to smile he couldn't "Jarvis get a room set up for Buffy."
"Of course sir. I will have furniture ordered for Miss Stark Summers straight away."
"Thank you Jarvis." Tony sighed then turned back to his blueprints, turning AC/DC back on to help him focus. It was only five minutes later when the music switched off. Tony looked up to see Pepper standing at the door, looking very pissed off. She walked over to his desk and slammed down several photos and Buffy's birth certificate on the desk "You have a daughter!?"
Pepper glared at Tony causing him to look at her slightly terrified "Oh, shit..."
