So they had a meeting a short time after he had taken Beth back with him. She was pregnant with their first child.He had understood that once she was ...regnant, the portal would no longer let her pass back to Crossroads. It had caused an uproar within the Cassandra women who were Caretakers. The problem became so huge that they had to change the portals to keep the other Heroes from being able to do that.

You've always known that I'm somewhat of apower bitch, and I like getting people to do things for me, and well,this is pretty much the ultimate, though I suppose that I could takethings a little further.

But in this case true compassion is forcing you to do whatdeep down you need to do, even if you don't realize it yet. I know youtoo well, and I know that deep down,. My hands are almost trembling now with excitement and anticipation. So as I walk towards the door, I do a small manoeuvre on my body so that the dhoti falls down slowly. I pretend to be shocked and try to catch it. But by design, the dhoti falls on the ground, revealing all my stuff, there for anybody who wants to see. I pretend for a minute to be confused whether to pick up the dhoti and then to even try picking it up. But since my hands are full, it is obviously not possible. By this time,. It seemed everyone was enjoying the showaccept him."Please sir, you have to smile for your picture. It is required, and Ihave other things to do today, so if you wouldn't mind," she said as shereadied the camera once again."Smile," she said again and this time Martin forced a soft Mona Lisatype smile. "Bigger. Show me your teeth when you smile," she saidwaiting to snap the shot. Martin reluctantly allowed his red lipstickedlips to part and giving a big artificial smile, showing his teeth asbest.
