I've never seen the film, but I have no trouble imagining Robert Downey Jr. saying any of these brilliantly written lines. Sounded just like him, in fact. And speaking of 'sounding like'--I loved Marie's Erin Brokovich impersonation, 'They're called boobs.' Outstanding! Give me kick-ass women every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Fave line: 'Marie's smile was somehow both saccharine and wolf-like.' Who thinks like that? Well, you, obviously. God, I'm green with envy.

Oh, and btw, 'Hell's Belles', my dear Hobbit, most definitely earns you the Best Chapter Title of the Century award. --Wendie

Author's Response: you know, a girl could get used to that kinda encouragement, lol. thanks for reviewing, and glad you feel i got young anthony right: that was the thing i was most worried about, because i'd never played with iron man before... anyway, glad you're enjoying it and looking forward to an update from you, hint hint

Oh my wonderful hobbit. I would invent a device that would allow me to reach through the computer and kiss you for this chapter. But I am outrageously underfunded and inadequately educated for such a task. I love all the twistiness, though I'd have made the readers twist in the wind about I boy's motives for a chapter more or so. I was expecting, for just a moment, that it would be WOlverine's cell coming up on his screen.

You make me deliriously happy with your writing. Thank you.

Author's Response: well, there's more twistiness from tony. just keep tuning in. but i digress... thanks again for the reviews, glad you're enjoying it still... hobbits away, hey!
