I get it, married life has not turned out like you had hoped it would, with the shortchange of your dreams with companionship, a safe place to call home with a supportive loving wife, enriching satisfying intimacy, mutual respect, raising and leaving a healthy legacy for your children, and building finances for a great retirement. No, it's definitely not been in the scope of what you may have wanted. Maybe, you do enjoy all these things, but still you have gotten bored and restless with the status quo and have ventured out into the world of taboo, seeking acceptance and the spice of life you have been looking for – with the extramarital affair, emotional or physical.
This is not an opportunity to shame males for falling into an affair or would-be affair, but simply a chance to share how it possibly could be perceived through the eyes of the woman that he pursues outside of the marriage nuptials. It's a message with the modus operandi to help give greater insight for men from the perspective of the women he pursues, no matter his circumstances.
Before I indulge, we are not talking from the perspective of an Alex character type from Fatal Attraction, a woman with a Jezebel spirit woefully abandoned to her own demise, partaking in a conscience-free seduction, but more from the perspective of someone less dramatic like me – a single busy entrepreneur and happily involved in several ministries. You may even find yourself attracted to a woman married herself that might be in a bit of an unhappy dynamic like you have found yourself, so you reason with yourself that if both sides of the equation are married, there will be less entanglement with the fact you won't have to fight off the eventual emotional connection and demand for marriage with a single woman. It's less messy.
It might surprise a man how a lady truly feels about passes and suggestions to toy with the danger of an affair, even if it's just pushing the line of safe boundaries with a "friendship". A woman not looking for a man to fix her needs or to partake in a side venture from a pure and upright walk, could be found as even more of an exciting challenge, and what an incredible rush to actually see someone who never would normally indulge in such a sin, finally break down, and join you on this path of choice. If she is of good moral character, that makes her even more exciting, breaking down the barriers of her safe wall of decency, that gives a man territory to conquer. Maybe you are looking for that secret tigress in her, supremely exciting and adventurous underneath all that morality talk, like the electric woman you always dreamed you could encounter.
When you see her, you might not be looking for trouble at first, but that spark and chemistry felt is undeniable. Conversations may start out as harmless, but after a while, you begin to look forward to seeing her and possibly allowing the mind to slip into the world of fantasy about the two of you. Perhaps she resembles the girl your wife used to be, or more curiously, a total departure from her altogether, and because now you are feeling shafted, bored, or estranged by the current status of your marriage, you are tempted by the "what ifs" that this other lady might offer. You entertain conversation that if left unchecked, can eventually introduce you both into those tantalizing topics which lead to actions that are far more than unacceptable in the eyes of your wife and anyone else around you who truly cares. You begin to look forward to more time and interaction, and eventually, exchanging text messages, emails, planning quick meetings here and there, sharing a lingering hug, and whatever else transpires, you have found yourself wandering far and away into the forbidden territory. You are in it, looking over your shoulder, deleting messages so no one finds them, sneaking around, longing, wanting, wishing, plotting and more.
At this point, perhaps even both of you are dealing with the guilt and shame mixed with excitement of not getting caught, which only plays more heavily into the cycle of how it all repeats. The heightened sense of not getting caught makes the satisfaction of lust all the more exquisite. You feel alive, wanted, and appreciated more than ever before. The delight of the way it fills the bill, seems to offer promise of more of the same down the line if you continue in never getting caught. Or, does it?
In reality, something happens regardless of the promise of a new hope for your love life, because more often than not, men end up staying married to the original partner they married. The wanna-be new life seems to become the center of procrastination and excuses and before too long, your lover realizes, regardless of your loving exaltations, that she was used for something vastly in contrast to what the Word of God ever meant for a woman. Emotional ties to someone your heart is not truly committed to,will yield to the fact that some day, someone is going to get burned, usually the woman, who looks far beyond the physical connection, and ties her value to how non-commital the male lover is to her, as if an affair could offer that anyway. The other issue is the wife may soon find out feeling devastated beyond words, your children are thrown in a chaos, and the once status quo household is a bundle of disarray and uncertainty.
I also want to address the men who pursue other women and hide the very fact that they are even married. The level of energy it takes to juggle and hide each relationship from the other, must become quite exhausting in the over all scheme of managing and weaving tales. Whatever the issues that supplied a set up for a new romance, you now have a side relationship that appears to be a safe secure haven that engages your interests, emotions, and physical desires and yet hiding the fact of an existing marriage is far more of a cowardly act than one might like to admit.
As strange as it sounds to quote Bob Marley, but oh so true, "the biggest coward is a man who awakens a woman's love with no intention of loving her", be it your wife that was promised "for better or worse" that you have cheated on, or the one whom you have stirred into an emotional commitment to love you outside of your marriage, yet, knowing full well, you are not able to be faithful to either party. To entice another soul to fill your void, sooth your pain, and know full everyone is denying the reality of a sad ending, is wickedly unfair to have pursued to begin with, to say the least. Even if you have had a rare exception of happiness in an affair that ended up working out in the long run, no matter what, you live with the stigma of an affair in your present and past. Those infractions are rarely forgotten and go down in the historical account by family, children, and certainly the ex-spouse and both sides of your world, yours and hers ,will whisper of the truth of it, for quite some time.
Personally, having been the unwilling party on the receiving end of this type of pursuit in my history, I have found it completely cheap and disheartening to even be viewed in the most minor way as a surrogate wife to a married man. It short changes everything the Word of God says is pure and honorable of marriage. Having experienced these passes of married men, ones in the church especially, who want a potential rendezvous, I have found the words they use as empty and nothing more than a smoke screen for what is going on in a broad range internally. It certainly would never promise a fulfilling future. Having the opportunity to be his cherished one and only one day seems quite ridiculous especially if he can't cherish the one and only he is with currently. Ladies, if you are reading this message, you know very good and well, that if he cheats with you, he will cheat on you. There are better ways to live on this earth, other than playing the game of being the one he hides and lies about in his world.
Affairs, even if never carried fully into fruition of the actual act of full on sex, carries with it the surefire way to fail and be used. I resent men to the nth degree who think I would find their advances, of all things, flattering, knowing it could cost him and me everything, plus perpetuate generational sins already established rather than being the ones that are the catalyst to break that cycle. Is the reality of all of this really supposed to be a turn on?
A new-found secretive relationship could cost your partner in the affair everything , as there is no escaping the fact you both made decisions to act in this, unless it's a girlfriend you hid the fact from that you are married. The fact a man would dull his own conscience to his marriage and the heart crush it would cause his wife, the price tag for his children, and the usery of the other ladies he chases, tells me volumes more about his lack of character than anything else. These actions help fuel the Gloria Steinem mentality that spews bitter hatred and self-righteous this and that, due to the inability to deal with and heal from pain with an attempt to guard and protect themselves from men they have labeled as "evil preying cheating monsters".
Hey guys, let's take a look at what women really want. We women need honorable men in our world. I, personally, want a safe covering for my life in the form of a faithful husband. Affairs dilute the institution of sacredness toward marriage as a whole, and for those in waiting for God's very best like myself, gives us one more reason to be disappointed in men and diminishes hope that there will ever be a "real man" that can be found anywhere in sight. Any more, it's rare to find any man who hasn't cheated somewhere in his lifetime. The days of men protecting a woman's honor, seems to have all but disappeared and is now used as a theme brought into films on the screen as an antiquated romantic ideal.
People also forget the blessing that comes from the Lord by waiting on Him, for the best person, and in the sexual realm, keeping things pure before marriage and during marriage. There is a reward that comes from two people who truly work at making a long-term commitment priority and surrender the coping methods they have been using to the Lord, and allow Him to do the repair work needed and guiding into a renewed respect for the original spoken promises in our vows. It's also the finest and the best of two people making a decision to marry, to marry the right person, at the right time for the right reasons. Oh the issues of life that could be avoided, if we prayed first, waited on the Lord for His best, and then proceeded into a life of blessings, rather than the constant challenges that marriages bring when not done in His will, with patience and a true reality check of what we bring to the table in the matrimonial world.
So let's figure out where you are right now by answering these questions:
How does disobeying the Lord in the first place ever seem to assure a blessing in the long run?
Did you marry the wrong woman in a hurry due to lust and now there are great regrets shopping around outside of your marriage to see what it could have been?
When did respect for each other die in the way of protecting purity of another human being not to mention for yourself?
I personally love it when a man shows a serious level of maturity by realizing what is best for a lady, his own, and others. He opens the door for women, knows what good moral code is, and protects himself from his own weaknesses, even if the other party could never appreciate it. He will flee from the Jezebels that do indeed exist, and in contrast, also understands that if a vulnerable side of woman appears, it's his duty and place to protect that by simply walking away, instead of maneuvering into a place to take advantage. Yes, she needs to guard herself as well, and as obvious in the situation, two people need to play the role of mature adults and simply flee from the temptation.
If he is my brother in Christ and knows better, and if you lady reading this know better, than why do we push the envelope into the affair level thinking it will ever bring a promise of a stable future more soundly than where we find ourselves now? It's a lie from the Enemy to set one up for certain disaster.
If I were married, you are toying with another man's territory, and if I am not, you are treading in the area of that of a future husband and the daughter of the King. Even if you dream of being that future spouse for a new lady, what kind of courtship is that – to be romancing someone while you are betraying your current vows, no matter what the excuse?
To add insult to injury, there is also nothing like the object of a husband's affection that will guarantee the fury more of an anguished jilted and justifiably angry wife. Your other woman, will be regarded as the seducing villain, the enemy forever in the story, with no recourse, for no one can ever repair the feeling of being "less than", than a wife that has been cheated on. This is one wound only the Lord Himself can heal. And please, don't tell me sir that you are totally forthright with your wife after being caught, only to lay a large amount of blame on the woman you had the affair with or almost affair with … because somehow she gets thrown under the bus no matter if she did or didn't do a single thing to encourage your desire. Don't blame your wife either for your stepping into infidelity.
Still feeling enticed to cheat?
Or, you may have already been there and done that, way past the point of no return, never having dreamed of having an affair and are now standing in a position that makes you wonder how in the world this whole thing started. You are staying in a heavily broken and strained marriage by choice in the aftermath, or even ransacked by divorce proceedings, bank account drained, reduced to seeing your children every other weekend, or even more of a dagger in the heart, your children have decided not to have anything to do with you. Your job is in question, and if in ministry, you know full well this could and probably has cost you everything you ever worked for over the years. And let's not forget, perhaps an unplanned pregnancy or a surprise venereal disease pops into the scenario for you both to have to deal with the rest of your lives. The gift that keeps on giving. Plus this as well, what about the unbeliever or weak in faith who is watching, thirsty to see if anyone truly lives an authentic Christian life – how about what they perceive in the body of Christ to be true and dependable?
So let's see first how the dynamic of infidelity is a set-up from the origin, and learn how to avoid the perfect storm of lies from the evil one before it ever hits – that faulty promise that the grass is greener on the other side. Marriage was never meant to fill what only God could fill. That should be the beginning of baby steps toward understanding the the Lord is the only and all fulfilling God and marriage is a GIFT and a commitment between two very imperfect people. Everyone woman can produce a vulnerable side, and if inspected long enough you will find her weaknesses and strengths, what makes her laugh and delights her heart, those areas which men are often all too familiar with – the way of her wounds and needs and past issues that she carries into her present. Isn't that what attracted you to your wife? So when you see it as an attraction to a new person, it's the same pattern of setting one up for emotional ties not meant for any reason other than for marriage.
Often men experience that innate desire to either protect or exploit that Achilles Heal of a woman in "befriending" her as a brother, to fulfill her at least with words and encouragement to help her feel whole, only to find himself gradually falling into an unintentional desire for filling that role himself. She will respond to you one way or the other and may even fight you for a while, but if she doesn't run from temptation, she soon moves closer to you in heart. It's the thrill of the chase and winning her trust and affection that keeps you both coming back for more. It could also be that she seems quite stable in her ways, and that helps you feel whole and completed drawing from her strength where you can no longer look to your wife for support.
So one has to ask himself, did the affair of the heart start with the first glimpse of each other, or was it when you decided that it was each other's responsibility to play the fixer upper? If you can no longer fix your own, you mine as well divert your abilities onto a life that could appreciate it – right? And somebody had to make her aware of how smoking hot and desirable she is – so let it be you to do the task. You feel that she needs to understand that she "deserves to be loved and appreciated".
Oh danger – danger! This is where we go from flattery to forgery of God's call on her life. That is not anyone's place to make a woman feel desirable but that of her husband alone. Your actions will woe her into falling in love and wanting you on a permanent basis and it is woefully unfair for you to truly have no intention of ever following through. This is why the Word of God says to "guard your hearts" (Proverbs 4:23). Even if you have not found yourself intertwined emotionally with a woman, you may feel that an on-line participation of a sexual nature, but no physical touching, is less threatening and more credible as the non-affair type of affair. However, let this be a glaring reality for all to know, cheating is cheating, no matter how you slice it.
We can dissect an even deeper truth of the vows you willingly took on your wedding day. You took the time to consider your wife, to court her, and convene with her in marriage, for better and for worse. You are in it, although bored, restless, and wandering, feeling unloved and unconnected, feeling a fresh new face could fool you into thinking that this is the answer, even if just for a temporary fix. But beware, every relationship dynamic has areas that need to be examined, and carrying old baggage into the new, complicated by the very real fact this is an affair, can rarely ever transpire into something promising for the long haul. I will never understand why a man who wants to play the field, decides to marry and stays in it, and justifies all day long running around behind the backs of those that trust him the most. All of it, can go up in smoke with one phone call, a picture for evidence, or text copy – living on the edge of disaster smacks of nothing more than immaturity in character at its worst.
Are the Ten Commandments no longer applicable to adultery? The answer to that is an unequivocal NO. Those virtues of the standard of living in the Word of God, in Exodus and Proverbs, and more, explains the consequences of this danger over and over again and prove to be right on the money for the 21st century beings we are today. It can and will cost more for the undertaking of it, than anyone ever could have prepared themselves to pay. The Lord put these rules of conduct into place in order to help His children avoid pain and disaster and never for the reason of causing you to live a life that is less than.
Before you justify your actions to get your needs met outside of your consecrated vows, as yourself how adding another relationship into the equation help the matter? If you are truly ending your marriage, then take time to pray and seek Christ, and give yourself time to heal before entanglement with another potential divorce set up with a new person. Do you really want a healthy marriage as it is? Then give it all you have got. And if you do end things, don't play around for the mean time.
Paul said it best in I Corinthians 7, that in marriage, there will be "trouble" and that he was trying to "spare them" from that pain and derailment to their walk with God. Part of the subliminal footnote I feel Paul intended in that passage conveys that two imperfect people with a sin nature, enter into marriage and then place the other person in the marriage responsible for all of their needs to be met, and to make all of their dreams come true. I have had enormous pain just in the dating relationships, with "men of God" who most certainly would have been a disaster to have married. It's pretty much curbed my appetite for ever wanting marriage and provides one fact I can rest upon: never married, never divorced, either.
Marriage is an ideal place to find out how giving or selfish we can ultimately be with another person, and the expectation levels we put on each other are far from the ability any human being could ever endeavor to meet, which leads to the obvious and highly expected let down that ensues. After all marriage is about how we can evolve in Christ together as a team, and not about how we can tear each other apart with the microscope looking for "the answer". God never intended for it to be the whole picture for happiness, but rather a place where "iron sharpens iron" according to Proverbs 27:17, and for the sake of ministering to each other and with each other for those around you. If one falls down the other can pull them up for two are better than one as depicted in Ecclesiastes 4. It's to glorify the Lord in the way Christ gave Himself up for His bride, the church as her Husbandmen, and for the wife to honor that role and that man. Remember, Jesus never cheats on His bride and she has certainly been a handful for him for centuries now.
Wives, you as well can play party to the problem of a cheating husband. Maybe you have worked as hard as you can on your relationship, slowly let down over time, by the reveal that the man you loved was not the man you thought you loved. But what if you helped set up this disadvantage for what is now a reality – did you happen to ignore the signs of what was coming? Did that bitterness and the put downs, the male slamming and bickering happen to lead to a place over the years that your husband just got tired of the stress and felt driven away? Did you refuse counseling? Did you know better than to marry that guy that possibly was unfaithful before you said those nuptials thinking you could change him? Did you marry just to marry or escape another situation only to realize you two were not a life long match? Did you stop being a friend to him, and dismiss intimacy, and became the mother rather than the wife in the marriage? Do you hold past hurts from things of your childhood and other men in your life over your husband's head as if he needs to pay the price for all of humanity? How about putting a leash on your spouse, did you think pulling him in tighter to your control was the answer? All of this is as self-serving as it can get.
"Perfect love casts out all fear" as I John 4:18 says, but that perfect love needs to be established carefully, with mutual agreement, done over time, and with open and honest transparency. Even if one person is working it harder than the other, at least they know they can put their head on their pillow at night knowing they are doing all things possible to make things work. But if all things are operating out of fear, it will serve as a sinking ship for the bottom of the abyss.
Men are visual, they like to be nurtured, we all like to be nurtured – yes, men, we women desperately need that as much as you do, and when we can't deepen the communication and be respectful in our quest to get things out on the table for healing and counsel, we heighten the danger for either one in the marriage to seek solace elsewhere. Dr. Henry Wright, a champion on spiritual roots of healing in the ministry God gave him, points out many issues that are given for health problems due to lack of nurturing from those we are to receive it from, even including marriage. Check out his amazing ministry at http://www.beinhealth.or.
Men, do you put down your wives in the company of friends to fit in with their attitude? Does she feel valued, adored, needed, and protected? Have you set her up to feel bitter against you? And that thing we think is "harmless" with flirting, is absolutely untrue. For the small violation of trust with flirting with another, means a larger violation of trust is imminent. Flirting can turn into an all out affair and it is painfully disrespectful to your spouse. Caring, God-seeking friends – won't set each other up for a fall into sin – so making someone who is a friend an object of your flirtation, can be a very dangerous risk. One of the things we subliminally wish for in seduction is that even though the girl you are chasing may love the Lord and want total commitment to Him, we want her to respond. She is human, and can fall, so when a man who knows better, looks for insecurities, plays on emotions, trying to slowly diminish the boundary lines of what was once – taboo, and justifies his actions due to his miserable emptiness in his marriage, it creates a total breach of safety for all, and Satan sees that nothing and no one is off-limits. The key isn't the empty marriage, it's the emptiness within the people themselves.
The good news is, the Lord has equipped us fully and completely with the ability to be filled with His knowledge by His word, flee immorality, clean up our mind, cling to His Word, and learn from other's mistakes or our own. One has to be on guard, instant in season and out, and it's the toughest lesson to learn that the enemy of our souls plants his wiles among the pews and in ministries even outside the church walls, in businesses, and anywhere that people have to interact and where the Holy Spirit dwells. Target practice is common place especially if believers are not on guard. And honestly, I would rather see a cordial end to a marriage that is simply out of fuel, both parties completely spent and done, LONG before one tries out another new relationship, and only then, after a time of counseling and reflection. We don't want a repeat of what just happened.
Again, my goal is not to berate, but simply to paint a sobering picture and provide a checklist in the mind for future reference that will give you guys something incredibly profound to consider before deciding to open the door to share intimacy with another woman. The Scripture verse Hebrew 13:4 that says, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous," bears some pretty heavy weight with it and seems rather terrifying to someone who knows that unless they repent of this, get the help they need, and fall headlong into the Lord's ability to heal, there is a sobering expectation in the long run. It's even worse, when one does know that truth and still chooses to defy God's warning.
Let's look at the fact that there is hope, if two shall agree to get the help they need to safeguard against adultery, or the repeat of adultery. Infidelity, sin, for whatever reason, in whatever form, will never produce the righteousness of God. In the meantime, let's do our best to remember that truth of the matter and work to overcome the desire to cause another one to stumble along with us. To finish off my ending note, what can we do to prevent a disaster and unwanted outcome in marriage, and when do men need to know that professional Godly counsel is in order to prevent further damage …
- For men and for women – do I need to get counseling in my marriage even if I am doing it alone? Do I have a sexual addiction? (There are volumes of places to help with this.)
- Do I spend time flirting with the opposite sex calling it harmless, and even convincing myself that this flattery is making them feel worthy and needed?
- Do I have a history of infidelity and should I avoid certain types of women that may trigger a desire to step out on my marriage? Should I really be on social media, or stay in the same realm of work on that floor of the church, with "her"?
- Am I calloused to my spouses needs and have I become less and less convicted about the idea of cheating? Wives are you pushing your man away and berating him with a honey-do list and income as his means of existence for you?
- Am I spending time in God's Word daily and pursuing the heart the of the Lord to prevent issues even in thought, that could lead to infidelity?
- Is my marriage truly over? Have I tried everything to make it work, and have I been totally transparent with my spouse that temptation sits at the door if we don't work on things together?
- Did I see some warning flags with my spouse before I married them? Could I have prevented heartache ahead of time? Was she cheating with you and now she is cheating on you? Were you the one cheating and thinking the next marriage would fix whatever it was that was broken?
- Am I lying to myself that flirting with anyone, is harmless? ) All marital infidelity begins with flirting.)
- Do I really want to hurt someone I say I care for? My wife, the ministry, my children, the church body, unbelievers who are looking for hope, and the other woman I encounter?
- Are there generational issues of infidelity in my family that I need to be freed from? Can I truly be the one that breaks the line of the curse? Of course you can!
I pray for blessings on you as you read this and take it to heart. There are so many blessings when we ourselves remain personally healthy and attach ourselves to the same. The Lord has a great plan for you, according to Jeremiah 29:11-13, and that would include freeing you from the stronghold of infidelity. God bless you as you endeavor to overcome.

A/N: Yo! Here is the next chapter of Buffy and DC universe. I hope that you all enjoyed the first chapter of it and I promise that I will try to stick with this one.
Same everything as the first chapter.
Please read and review!
Chapter 2
Xander had been in Texas for a few weeks and he had found out a lot.
The first thing that he had found out was that he obviously wasn't in Sunnydale anymore.
The second thing that he had found out was that he had kept the powers of A-man. That should have been obvious, but Xander wasn't really paying attention to it before.
He had tested his limits and found that his powers weren't as strong as A-man was.
Xander had also found out that he, Buffy, and the rest of his gang didn't exist here.
That had worried him for a bit, but he had gotten over it.
The thing that Xander was really pleased about though was that he was in the DC Universe. He didn't know which one specifically that he was in, but he could guess which one that he was in.
Xander would have bragged if Jessie was here.
He didn't know what he was going to do in this universe, but he knew that he would do something.
But, first, to find the Twinkies.
"Gimme back my mone!" An old woman called out.
Xander immediately snapped to attention and saw that someone was stealing an old woman's purse.
Xander used his superior speed to catch up to the guy and then he tackled him.
Probably not the best idea given the fact that the guy had a gun.
The guy shot him through the shirt, a shot that would have stopped normal people, but Xander also had regenerative abilities.
Xander punched the guy in the face and then head-butted the guy into the cement.
The guy was down for the count at that moment.
"Thank you, sir, for helping the lady," A very female voice said to him.
Xander looked up to see a crouched over Supergirl.
"Do you need any help with that wound," She asked worriedly.
Xander shook his head and grabbed the knife that the thief had.
He then stabbed himself right where the bullet had penetrated and used the knife to pull the bullet out.
Xander then ripped his shirt and tied it around the wound. He only used one sleeve, though.
"I'm fine." Xander said.
The old lady then came over.
"Here you are, ma'am." Xander said respectfully.
He handed her purse over and just let her hug him.
Xander then checked the thief's pockets and nodded, the man had a wallet.
"Are you really going to take that guy's wallet?" Supergirl asked.
"Of course, it is legal, right?" Xander asked, a bit concerned.
"Yes, it is, son." A gruff voice responded.
Xander looked around and saw a policeman looking at the thief's unconscious body with disgust.
"Also, the county would like to thank you by giving you a bit of money and a discount on county services." The policeman said.
"Do you do this with every crime, or just these ones?" Xander asked.
"Any time that a citizen goes out of their way to help a stranger in need, they deserve a reward. Heck, that's one of the reasons that we're paid so much!" The policeman laughed.
Xander just chuckled and said, "Are there any houses available?"
That was how Xander got himself a house and a city.
Xander yawned as he got up.
He had gotten a generous amount from crime stopping the last few weeks, but he felt that he needed an actual job.
Xander nodded at the thought and felt that it was a good idea to use. Heck, enough people didn't use a secret identity that he should be able to get away with it.
Xander nodded to himself and went out to see if he could get a job.
After several interviews, he had been accepted by a local small business.
The process was made harder when they found out that he didn't have a real ID. But, the business owners were fine with it. That just meant that they would be a little disadvantaged with having to pay with cash, but the managers were fine with it. After all, the grandma that he had saved was in there.
Xander didn't get enough from that job, but he did get enough from both of the jobs that he did in order to become pretty good, money wise.
Xander had started furnishing his new place as well.
He had chosen a more…outback look to his place.
He had used some deer heads and some decorations that he had.
He was still saving up in order to create a super server that would be a private system.
That would be his 'lair.'
After all, what good super didn't have a lair?
Xander was giddy as he realized that he was thinking about becoming a hero in his own way.
There was no way that he was ever going to conform to the standards of any place.
"There's a new superhero!" Flash said, shocked, he had thought that the watchtower would know about all of them.
"He doesn't consider himself as a superhero and he doesn't wear a mask, either, he considers himself an ordinary citizen that is working to make money, and he just doesn't separate his identities with a mask or cape like we do. Or, at least, that's how he explained it when I asked him." Supergirl explained.
J'onn nodded to himself as he filed the information away in the watchtower.
That was when the alarm went off and the whole room was on alert.
J'onn immediately looked through the systems to see what the matter was and found it a few seconds later.
"Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Rubber, and Alice (yes, I am going with them) have broken free of Arkham and are headed south to, and I quote 'get away from the old life.'" J'onn said.
"How far south are they thinking?" Supergirl asked with a dreaded feeling in her stomach.
"They said to Texas." J'onn replied.
Supergirl groaned, it was going to be one of those days.
Done! I hope that you all enjoy this chapter.
Please read and review!

Munich (Germany), Feb 5 (AFP) US Secretary of StateHillary Clinton today called for international support forEgypt''s transition to democracy as she warned of extremistforces that might try to derail it.
Speaking to an international security conference inMunich, Germany, Clinton also called for support toward openand accountable governments across the Middle East despite theshort-term risks of chaos and instability.
The chief US diplomat praised the restraint of Egyptiansecurity forces in largely peaceful mass protests yesterday.
A transition in Egypt "will become immeasurably harder ifthere is not restraint by government and security forces, andwe thankfully saw that yesterday with the very large butpeaceful demonstration," she said.
Clinton, who was addressing the Munich SecurityConference ahead a Middle East Quartet meeting on thePalestinian-Israeli deadlock, also worried about other threatsto stability, referring to the attack on a gas pipeline.
Unknown saboteurs attacked an Egyptian pipeline supplyinggas to Jordan, forcing authorities to switch off gas supplyfrom a twin pipeline to Israel, an official told AFP.
"There are lot of actions that are out of anyone''scontrol in any position of responsibility and leadershipinside Egypt and outside Egypt," the chief US diplomat said.
"There are forces at work in any society, andparticularly one that is facing these kinds of challenges thatwill try to derail or overtake the process to pursue their ownspecific agenda," Clinton said.
This, she said, is "why I think it is important tosupport the transition process announced by the Egyptiangovernment, actually headed by now vice president OmarSuleiman."
Saying proper reforms take "some time," her comments wereless insistent than those she and other officials in PresidentBarack Obama''s administration made in the past week demandingthe transition start "now" and "immediately".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel also sounded a note ofcaution against hurrying the transition, citing her ownexperience at the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 from thecommunist side of the Cold War barrier.
"Even though it is not directly comparable (with Egypt),we didn''t want to wait a single day ... for reunification,"Merkel said of her fellow East Germans.
"But when it took place in October (1990) and we saw thescale of the necessary transition we were quite happy thatsome people had prepared things properly."
British Prime Minister David Cameron agreed, but warnedthat the longer a power transition in Egypt took, the greaterthe risk of a government "that we wouldn''t welcome." (AFP)

School supply drive update: Workplace giving helps students in need
In Wednesday's opinion section, the editorial board shined a spotlight on Hopelink, one of the three beneficiaries of The Seattle Times' annual school supply drive.
This year, Hopelink's Kids Need School Supplies campaign is trying to collect enough tools of learning to assist at least 2,000 students. One way readers can help is to simply make a donation through the Times' Fund for the Needy. A sturdy backpack filled with the basics costs about $40.
Another way to assist Hopelink, which reaches families through its service centers in north and east King County, is by hosting a workplace or community supply drive. The organization is requesting donations be dropped off at any of its service centers by Aug. 1 so that volunteers have a few weeks to sort and stuff backpacks before the new school year begins.
On Tuesday, Lake Hills Orthodontics in Redmond showed me how they are working with Hopelink to collect back-to-school supplies.More

With Nobeoka set to host the country's best middle and long-distance runners May 11 at the Golden Games in Nobeoka meet at the city's Nishishina Field, organizers placed 120 promotional flags around the downtown area on May 23. The flags measure 80 cm by 45 cm with a black and yellow color scheme. Below an illustration of a group of runners in action, the flags call on local citizens to come out and support the athletes at the competition. Race organizers began placing the flags at 9:00 a.m. The flags are attached to light poles in pairs every 10 m along the main streets of Nobeoka, catching the attention of passersby as they ripple in the wind.

So here is a nice history in my hair. I figured a nice timeline of photos would be sufficient. I will start with the day I chopped the hair off.
This was over the past few years. Now below is today. I must say, the hair game is good today!
I have recently started a once a week coconut oil mask on my hair. I did that last night and my hair loved it! I can tell it will help my hair a lot. I only did the bottom where all of the damage is from the flat iron. I am also in need a trim, I know! I can see it in the picture above. If you have any good tips for growing out your hair, Let me know! I could use them!
