《Infinity || Dan Smith》Fourteen.
Advertisement
Dan looks at all of the colourful pages of the graphic novel. While intrigued in the storyline, his thoughts seem to wander off. He finds it funny that within one night a person can go from feeling anxious - to literally making tea in someone else's house - but Charlie is a quick adapter.
"Please don't tell me you take sugar?!" Charlie shouts out, while Dan looks at one certain picture in particular.
"Nah!" He replies with a smile, although that fades within a matter of seconds. The comic book is rated mature...and somehow Dan didn't know that. So it's no wonder why he is in shock.
The comic insinuates that Lady Luck rapes Liam. Something of which Dan has no knowledge of. "Um...Charlie?!" Dan calls out, seconds later Charlie walks through the living room door holding two tea's.
"What's up?"
"This is fucked up." Charlie rolls her eyes at that page.
"Lucky for us this is another earth. I don't like what the co-writer did to her beyond the average comics. She's a nasty piece of work...but she isn't that cruel." Dan doesn't understand the types of issues. Especially which 'earths' are which.
"Is that how Lacey came about?" Dan asks.
However, he can't help look at the page. The comic shows a closed door with several speech marks coming out of it. Mainly Liam telling no. The stern 'no' develop's into Liam pleading for her to stop. It's one of the darkest things Dan has ever seen. Goosebumps appear on his arms when the page ends on '...' meaning silence.
"One of the various ways...yes." The more Dan learns about Illusion and Lady Luck, the more he gets interested.
Lacey is Liam and Lily's daughter. Although she won't make an appearance in the first film...that being said Lila hasn't been ruled out of a possible sequel.

"Every Marvel movie ignore comics like those. We're keeping with the original." Dan thankfully remembers the actual plot of his movie. The post credit scene is Lily sitting in a hospital toilet, looking at a positive pregnancy stick.
"Thank god." Dan smiles while he picks up his tea that Charlie made, however he won't tell her that he doesn't like tea. He's more of a black coffee type of guy.
"I'm guessing you don't have kids of your own?" Dan smiles before shaking his head ever so slightly.
"You?" Charlie shakes his head too.
"I want them...but it's hassle of going into the dating game again and finding someone who is enthusiastic about marriage and a family as me." Dan sniffs, not because he is sad or anything like that, but simply because he has a cold. Because of Bastille he learned how to hide illnesses.
"Jesus Christ, you really are Liam Dawson." Dan throws his eyes back at Charlie's comment.
"That's a good thing!" Charlie laughs while she crosses her legs, sitting on the sofa next to Dan. "Is it?" Dan laughs, Charlie on the other hand sternly nods her head with a warm smile.
Charlie's smile is contagious, as Dan can't help but smile back at her. "I wish I can relate to Lily..." Charlie sighs as she holds her cup close to her face. The smell of the milky tea fills her nostrils. The steam presses against her pale cheek.
"So you...don't want kids?" Dan asks confusion.
"Oh no" - Charlie shakes her head at her mistake - "no...I want a Lacey of my own. Trust me. I just want to relate to her, but I'm not evil enough." Dan then cracks a smile as he thinks about ways he can help make Charlie 'evil'.

"Lily likes gambling right?" He asks, knowing the answer already.
"Yeah..." Charlie's voice curiously trails off.
"I know an arcade with machines that are easy to 'influence' in your favour." Charlie's eyes light up.
"Do you want to go with me?" Although Charlie was intending for a quiet evening with her new friend, she really wants to go out with Dan and do a bit of childish mischief.
"Like...now?" Her eyes glance at the time.
"They'll be closed now, but maybe tomorrow after we wrap up?" Charlie nods her head. She was just about to comment that it's a bit too late for anything.
"I'd love that." With that Dan smiles like the pink and purple Cheshire Cat. Charlie then picks her graphic novel up, once again.
He was hoping Charlie would agree with him...
"But seriously, we have to talk about their relationship. It's so fucked up." Charlie says holding up her graphic novel on a page where their characters are having a full on intimate kiss.
"Can't wait." He says with a shy smile, while Charlie continues to blabber on about their characters.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
