《Infinity || Dan Smith》Twenty-Seven.

"Happy Easter from Marvel." Aubrey says in the most deadpan voice as she is caring a basket full of mini eggs around each of the crews tables.
"But it's not Easter yet..." Dan says while he reaches into the basket and takes one. He doesn't plan on eating it since the London marathon is drawing close, but he'll give it to Charlie a little later when she complains about being hungry.
"Didn't you get the memo?" Aubrey asks looking confused herself, she was sure that she sent the email to everyone.
"No, what memo?" Charlie rolls her eyes back while she bites into her Chinese takeaway. She was using Dan's laptop the other night and she thought Dan's emails was her's and accidentally might've deleted the memo from Aubrey.
"Because it's a religious holiday we're not entitled to work this week. It's pure and utter bullshit if you ask me. I was trying to soften the guys at Disney up and allow us to work...but they sent this basket instead. The hypocritical assholes."
"Aubrey the rebel! Never would've thought I'd see you pissed off about something other than me, oh how I'm blessed." Charlie laughs in hysterics.
Aubrey closes her eyes before she falsely smiles, obviously she's not allowed to give abuse back to her cast members. "One day you're going to love me. And anyway, at least you aren't celebrating a homophobic piece of shits ghost day or whatever." Dan cracks a smile at the last part, whereas Charlie almost growls for the first part.
Charlie and Aubrey have a very long history...and it all started with Charlie's young father. He was an aspiring actor...and he auditioned for a role in Aubrey's first feature length. Even though everyone loved what he brought to the character that he was portraying, Aubrey denied him a role because of his mentality status. She called him 'unpredictable' and several other spiteful things. It hurt him so much so that he committed suicide after a downward spiral a few months later.

Aubrey was completely mortified to hear the news, especially since it was only then brought to her attention that he was a young father trying to provide for his newborn daughter. So Aubrey secretly set up a trust fund and paid her lawyer to look over Charlie shoulder.
The director basically paid for Charlie's entire upbringing in guilt. Every month, even to this day, Aubrey still pays money out of her own bank account and gives it to her. Charlie didn't know until she turned eighteen, she then took advantage of Aubrey's guilt and decided to take acting lessons. She knew that she'd always get a part in Aubrey's movies because...Aubrey owes her. Charlie could've told the film board what Aubrey said to her father several times, but she never did.
Dan doesn't say anything. But he agree's with Charlie. He has never seen Aubrey this angry with anyone. "Sorry Dan if you believe in the bullshit...I wanted to finish the scene by the weekend. I'm a lesbian by the way so that's why I'm pissed." Dan smiles, although he is surprised.
"Nah, it's okay..."
"Half of the crew are lying about being religious so they get a week off. It's so fucking stupid." Aubrey whines, while Charlie leans over Dan and grabs two handful worth of mini eggs shamelessly. Dan shakes his head in disbelief but Charlie ignores him, she then puts them all down on the table besides her and unwraps one.
Aubrey looks at Charlie in a disgusted manner, but Charlie rolls her eyes backwards. She isn't phased what Aubrey thinks of her, she never has been. "I'm a hungry girl. Don't judge me." She has fast metabolism.
"Are sure that you're not maybe...pregnant? You're definitely eating like a pregnant woman." Dan then chokes on his iceberg lettuce which makes Charlie point at him with laughter.

She has always been pretty immature for her age.
"She's always hungry." Dan causally says as he picks up a tissue and calmly clears up the mess he's just created.
Charlie on the other hand shrugs. "Might be. My period is late." Dan then coughs again, however, this time a saddened whimper comes out of his mouth helplessly. He cannot believe Charlie didn't tell him beforehand...
This could be a very big deal.
"Seriously?" He whispers while Charlie nods her head as she pops the whole chocolate egg into her mouth.
"And now a child hating lesbian is going to get a pregnancy test..." Aubrey awkwardly says before she disappears into thin air.
Everyone who is on Dan and Charlie's table looks at them in shock, but Charlie continues eating. A shit ton of emotions then run throughout Dan's body. He's mainly confused and disbelieved how Charlie told someone she hates before him.
"You're lying. Right? You'd never be this calm." Dan stares at Charlie trying to see if she'll crack a smile to prove his theory, but she doesn't. Instead she shakes her head.
"A late period don't mean anything. Anyway I need to tell people just in case if I come on in costume." For the first time ever his relationship is going at the normal pace. He doesn't want anything to rush their relationship...and especially not a baby. Not when the couple are going to be everywhere.
"But is there a possibility?" Charlie nods her head.
"We fuck all the time without shit, Dan" — Charlie whispers — "a little scare was bound to happen sooner or later. I'm more concerned about the rehearsal at the moment, you got to stop laughing. It's off putting." Since it's a Marvel they're obliged to one text book comedy scene.
In this scene there is a montage of Lily trying to bury a body, but the 'luck' isn't in her favour. When she dumps the body in the ocean it sinks for a second and then it reappears floating. When Lily shuts the car boot, it reopens. Then when Lily finally got rid of it, a football gets 'kicked' into her face. And there is a comic moment where Lily just freaks out and threatens a kid.
"Whatever. I've got to make a call. This is for you" — Dan hands Charlie his mini egg — "good luck with your scene." He then awkwardly kisses her on the cheek, and then he disappears from the cafeteria area.

The Right Place At The Wrong Time
"What will you feel if, by inevitable circumstance, you never see your most beloved ever again?" ~~~ In the year 2000, 18-year-old Steven Vincenzo moved from the Philippines to the USA due to his father's promotion. They settle down in a small neighborhood known as Izzaya, in a city called Haggrew. Just a few days after moving, he finds out about a dark past from the Prohibition Era that still haunts the neighborhood, a dark past full of grizzly murders and kidnappings. Determined to know more about it, he finds out that there are ties to an old abandoned house he always passes by in the neighborhood, seeing it as a lead. Hesitant at first, due to the fear of breaking and entering. In order to find out more, he needed to go into the abandoned house where he finds a mysterious door that isn't like any other in the house. The infamous door that was presumed to be "The Culprit's Room." He enters the room where he suddenly got sucked in by an unstoppable force. He wakes up outside the abandoned house, to a confused girl in front of him trying to get him back into his senses. This girl was wearing vintage clothing and had quite a distinct accent that Steven had never heard of before, except in movies and TV series. Looking around, he knew something was definitely wrong. The abandoned house looked newly built along with other old houses in the vicinity. Trying to understand the situation he's in with all the clues he has, he eventually asks the girl what year it currently was to confirm his speculations. To this, the girl replies with a serious tone, "1927." Steven doesn't know what to do with all this information. Will he be happy that he could know more about the dark past and possibly try preventing it? Will he be distressed in trying to figure out how to come back to his own time?

Most people think having powers would be amazing. Not Nate. If he had it his way, he’d never use them and pretend they weren’t there. His powers, though, seem to have other ideas. Uncontrolled powers sound problematic on their own, but when people can destroy entire city blocks with a wayward glance, they become a whole new issue entirely. Nate has always felt like he’s had wary eyes watching him, waiting for him to slip up. So far, he’s managed to just barely keep his head down, but when his powers force him to step into the spotlight, he finds himself caught up in the one life he never wanted; heroism. Now, will he find a way to accept the powers he blames for all his problems, or will he crumble under the pressure? Note: I primarily upload on my website on Sundays . I'll upload here regularly up to a day after the chapters go live on the main site. Vote for aka on TopWebFiction! Feel free to join the aka Discord.
