A famous man once said we create our own demons. Who said that? What does that even mean? Doesn't matter. I said it because he said it. So, now, he was famous and it's basically getting said by two well-known guys. I don't, uh...I'm going to start again. Let's track this from the beginning...

14 Years Ago – Bern Switzerland – New Years Eve

"Pretty pretty please, daddy?" The nine-year-old blonde girl with pigtails begs as her father carries her into the hotel room and leads her straight to the spare room.
"Sorry Buff." The young Tony Stark says as he places his adorable daughter in her room. When she pouted he sighed heavily, he hated disappointing her, this was the first time Joy had ever let him have her on New Years and he had to work.

Tony crouches down in front of his daughter and tugs on her pigtails as she clutches onto the piggy she had dubbed Mr Gordo that he had given her for Christmas.
"But you promised." The blonde moans as she looks up at him with big doe eyes.
Tony sighs and kisses the top of her head "I know I did. And I promise I will spend all day tomorrow with you. But it's late and you need to go to bed."

Little Buffy stamps her feet on the ground and crosses her arms before glaring up at him, looking dangerously like her mother as she does.
Tony flinches at the look on her face before lifting her off the ground and into his arms "Look you are my best girl but I got to do this monkey. I promise tomorrow it will be all about Buffy..."
"Why can't I come with you to the party?" She moans before burying her head in the crook of his neck.

Tony chuckles slightly and strokes her hair "Because I promised your mommy, I wouldn't let the press see you. She wants you to be a normal little kid. No matter how overrated that is. You're a Stark. Totally un-normal if you ask me."
Buffy giggles slightly "Daddy you talk funny."
"I know kid. Don't worry you'll thank me for that one day."

He smiles before placing her back down on the ground and taking her hand he leads her over to the living room area where Happy Hogan and James Rhodes were sat waiting.
Tony crouches down in front of his daughter once more before tapping her nose "You're gonna stay here with Uncle Rhodey, make sure he doesn't get into any trouble."

Buffy sighs before nodding, she hugs her father once more before walking over to Rhodey who sweeps her up in a big bear hug "Uncle Rhodey, that tickles!" The little girl exclaims as Rhodey tickles under her arms.

Rhodey chuckles before throwing the girl over his shoulders and turning to Tony "You're lucky she's smarter than you otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to babysit."
Buffy wiggled in his arms before climbing down and walking over to Happy, tugging on his sleeve she waits for him to lean down before whispering "Make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble." She says gesturing to her father.

Happy chuckles in amusement before tapping the girl on the head while Tony merely glares at her "I don't need a babysitter."
"That's debatable." The blonde says before turning to Happy again "And make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."

"You're the kid here!" Tony exclaims only for all three of them to stare at him, clearly, they were on Buffy's side.
Tony groans "My own kid is gonna put me in a home."
Buffy giggles before yawning slightly, she rubs her eyes before looking at her dad "I'm nine...and a Stark. Plus you're the one who always says I'm my father's daughter."

Tony laughs in amusement before kissing her head once more just as him and Happy prepare to head down to the party
"Night Daddy." Buffy calls as Rhodey lifts her up prepared to put the sleepy girl to bed.
"Night Buffster." He says with a wave before closing the door.

Tony leans against the door with a heavy sigh, that little ball of sunshine was a little firecracker sometimes. He smiles fondly before frowning, he wished things could be different, he had tried to convince Joyce to chance her mind but she was adamant that Buffy was not to be exposed to this lifestyle until she was 18. Then it would be her choice.

With a final sigh, he turns to Happy, "Time for the mask, Sir."
Tony nods before taking the flask from Happy and forcing a smile on his face.


At the part, Tony continues to play the part of the bachelor as he flirts with the beautiful brunette in front of him.
As she giggles Happy turns to him "Half hour till the ball drops."

Tony grins, it wouldn't be long till he could get out of here and see his daughter. But he was still a single man so he might as well enjoy his time. Bending down towards the brunette he smirks "Hey, do you wanna..."
Tony is cut off as a drunk idiot approaches screaming in his ear "Tony Stark! Great speech, man!"
As Happy attempts to pull the man away Tony frowns, he had maybe had a few too many to drink "I gave a speech? How was it?"
"Edifying." Happy says before hauling the drunk away.
The brunette woman, on the other hand, smirks "Unintelligible."
"Really?" He teases "It's my favourite kind. A winning combo."

As he begins to lead her to the exit she pauses "Where are we going?"
"Uh, to town on each other, preferably back in your room." He says wincing at even the idea of traumatising his daughter with that idea, he would likely traumatise and humiliate and embarrass her very much in the future, especially once she was old enough to date. Tony shivered at that very thoughts, it was a terrifying thought.
"And so I can see your research." He finishes trying to focus on the woman in front of him.
She grins not noticing his lack of interest in her "Okay, you can see my research, but that's...I'm not gonna show you my town."

As they attempt to get through the crowd someone else attempts to grab his attention "Mr Stark." He addresses as he approaches Tony "Ho Yinsen"
Tony chuckles "Ah, I finally met a man called Ho."

"I would like to introduce you to our guest, Dr Wu." As Yinsen leads him across the room he pauses in front of an older Asian man in a suit "Oh, this guy. Hey." Tony says uninterested as the booze really started to cloud his brain. Joy was going to kill him.

Tony frowns when the man speaks in mandarin so merely shrugs "You're a heart doctor. She's going to need a cardiologist after I..." Tony reaches for the plastic horn in his hand making a honking noise as he blows into it before dragging his date away.

Started in Bern, Switzerland. 1999. The old days. Old days as in a secret nine-year-old blonde daughter who was asleep in the hotel room and who was later forbidden from ever spending any time abroad with me again by her mother days. Sorry...I got off topic. Anyway the old days...well let's just say I never thought they would come back to bite me. Especially not by coming after my kid. Why would they?But then again I never though my daughter's past would team up with my own? I mean like come on. How the hell was I supposed to know?

"Mr Stark!" A man who was the personification of nerd says as he approaches Tony, Happy and the brunette woman by the elevator.
"Oh, wow! Hey, Tony!" The man stutters as he adjusts the giant framed glasses that filled half of his face "Aldrich Killian. I'm a big fan of your work."
The brunette chuckles "My work?" She asks drunkenly.
"Who isn't." Tony says with a shrug "He means me." He informs the blonde.
Killian chuckles nervously "Well, of course, but, Ms Hansen, my organisation's been tracking your research since year two of MIT."

As they get into the elevator Killian manages to sneak his way in, as Happy attempts to move him Killian focuses on Tony and Hansen "It's a privately funded think tank called Advanced Idea Mechanics."
Tony groans in annoyance and the minute the doors of the elevator open he lets all the women pass before blocking Killian "I'm titillated by the idea of working with you."
"Yeah?" Killian asks excitedly, looking much like a child on Christmas morning.
"I'll ditch these clowns. I'll see you on the roof in 10 minutes."


After looking at Hansen's incredible research regarding cellular regeneration and access to the brain both him and the doctor move towards her room to 'further discuss the subject'.
As he passes Happy who was purposely moving the planet that Hansen had told him not to touch due to her experiments on it Tony taps his shoulder "Feel free to head back up."

"She's fine. Rhodey's with her." Happy says making Tony roll his eyes, his worry for his daughter, not the least bit smaller. As much as he trusted Rhodey this was Buffy. He was always cautious when it came to her.

Tony makes his way into her bedroom and as he sits opposite her, listening to her incredible theory and research into the brain he can't help but be impressed. "You're the most gifted woman I've ever met."
Hansen looks up at his unamused "Wow."
Tony looks down and shakes his head "In Switzerland."
The brunette grins "Hmm. That's better. Aww, you're seeing things."
"Ahm this week." He says before laughing "You almost bought it didn't you?"

Just as he moves in to kiss her a loud explosion goes off from the other room "It's a Glitch." She says before glaring at the now burning plant.


Up on the roof, Aldrich Killian stood waiting and waiting for Tony Stark. He waited hours ignoring the sounds of the fireworks as he desperately waited for Tony to appear. However, he never did.

Although unaware at the time he would soon discover the across the street stood two men in suits watching him intently "And the research?" The taller one asks.
The shorter one smiles "Trust me, Marcus. From what the senior partners have told me great things will come. And now is our time. We can scoop him up. The Senior Partners say his research will be a great hand taking down a future enemy."
"I don't know Holland." Marcus says as he crosses his arms and stares at the other man completely unimpressed "Seems like nothing but a worm we could crush."
"Exactly." Holland Manners says with a grin "And no worm works better than when it's under the threat of being crushed."

So why am I telling you this? Because I had just created demons...no not literally but I had just left the door open for the literally kind. And I didn't know it. Yeah, those were good times, but I moved on.

After a pretty awesome day with Buff, Joy took her home, but not before yelling at me for an hour. After Joy died, my daughter was given superpowers, died, dated a creep and I paid a lovely visit to a sweet Afgan cave I said goodbye to the party scene. I forgot that night in Switzerland. These day's I'm a changed man.

(Buffy) Debatable!

Buffy! My time for story time. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, changed man...I swear to god Buffy stop laughing it's true. Ignore her. I'm a different man. I'm well...you know who I am.
