《Infinity || Dan Smith》Thirty-Two.
Advertisement
It's finally the day of the London marathon.
The sun is surprisingly shining, the barricades are up, and the crowds are already gathered. This is the time of year where people come to connect and join forces for charities...or just to prove to themselves that they can do something. Either way, the London Marathon is good for the mind.
"Babe, are you sure you want to do this?" Charlie asks while rubbing Dan's shoulders. She isn't sure that Dan should run in the marathon. While he has been training for it...she knows that Dan isn't exactly the headiest of all people.
And to be running the marathon and not walking...that's kind of a huge deal.
"It's for breast cancer. Of course I'm going to run it! I just wish you was there by my side...to keep me company instead of my music." Charlie shakes her head with a smile.
"If I wasn't...you know...then maybe I would've. Look, I'll do it with you next year, okay? But for now...just keep your chin up. If you feel your heart ache or if you feel sick...stop. I don't care what position you're in." Dan nods his head even though he wants to finish the marathon in a good time.
He wants to be in the first hundred people to cross the finishing line.
"Isla, please tell your son not to over do it!" Charlie shouts over the top of the loud music that plays.
"Huh?!" Isla immediately shouts back.
"Tell Dan this isn't a competition!" Most of the film crew have decided to come and support Dan, so that's why their area is cramped by fan's of Aubrey's work and Charlie's acting. Despite not knowing that Dan is apart of Marvel.

Isla then stops talking to her daughter, who stands besides her, and then looks at Dan. "I've already told him, just running the marathon is more than enough!" Dan who stands besides them, feeling like a ghost in his own event then laughs. He's very grateful to have such a supportive following.
"Who here hasn't signed Dan's sponsor list?!" Aubrey shouts while holding a clipboard and pen up in the air. Charlie has already put eighty-five thousand down. Aubrey put a little over five hundred thousand.
Hollywood doesn't come to play.
"Me!" Isla shouts while both Charlie and Dan shake their heads. She's already put too much time and money into the charity.
"Mum...no..." Dan shakes his head while looking at her.
"Put my name down for another five thousand!" Dan feels immense guilt. He didn't want his mum to put anymore money down...he didn't even want Charlie.
"Match whatever Dan's mum has donated!" — Charlie shouts while Dan and his family gather around the barricades — "And then add it onto my total!" Aubrey looks at Charlie wide eyed, she never knew Charlie was so charitable.
"Are you sure" With that, the president of Marvel Kevin Feige, walks over to them. He himself has already put a massive amount of money into the charity.
"Does everybody have their phones on them? We can get footage of Lily and Liam's life before the powers?!" Aubrey and Charlie nod their heads ecstatically. That doesn't sound like the worst idea ever.
"Mark is going to get the sound equipment, and we've got a area barricaded off by the finish line. That area is somewhat deserted so if we film there quickly then maybe this entire thing will work out?" They need more 'found footage' type of scenes. Although, it has actually been done before in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

"I'll tell Dan." Charlie then returns to Dan's group.
Dan then hugs Charlie over the barriers. "Is everything okay..." she looks confused for a second.
"Chris is here." He whispers in her ear while trying not to look in the direction of his old band member.
"Did you invite him?" Charlie asks while looking confused.
"Kyle did, and Will is apparently going to turn up and...like...what do I do and say?" Charlie hold's the side of her lovers cheek.
"Give then a hug and tell them everything that has gone on. Invite them to the set or whatever. This is really good Dan. They're here for you." Dan nods his head before kissing Charlie on the side of her soft cheek, after removing her mouse coloured hair and putting it behind her ear.
"Anyway, we have a scene we got to do. Tell everyone that you're going to be in character every pit stop. Well...they only call you Liam at least. Okay?" Dan confusedly nods his head while Chris awkwardly shuffled forwards nearer to them.
"I better go." Charlie points to the crew.
Dan nods his head while Charlie kisses him quickly. They aren't the type of couple to show their romantic feelings in public...but today Dan deserves to be kissed in public. Charlie is tremendously proud of his contribution towards finding a cure for breast cancer.
"We love you." She whispers before cautiously looking around and then puts his hand directly on top of her small stomach.
"You do know that this is more pressure to win." Dan laughs while Charlie gives him a evil look.
"Even more pressure to not win..." his voice then trails off as Charlie then smiles. She just doesn't want him hurting himself.
"See you at the the pit stops, okay? You know where they are." Dan nods his head. They have several special points where they're going to meet up, Charlie knows a few short cuts on how to get to them.
"Love you!" Dan shouts as Charlie whispers her 'I love you back', before disappearing into the audience.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
