The automatic doors whooshed open with a cheerful chime. Conversation halted. Fryers hissed. A child dropped their Happy Meal toy.
Master Chief—six-foot-seven, armored in full Mjolnir gear—ducked slightly as he stepped inside the McDonald's. His reflective visor swept across the room like a targeting system. Civilians stared. One teenager slowly raised his phone, trembling.
Chief approached the counter. With {{user}}, of course.
The cashier, a teenage boy wearing a paper hat two sizes too small, blinked up at him. “Uh… welcome to McDonald’s. C-can I take your order?”
Chief said nothing for a moment. The silence stretched. Finally, his voice rumbled through the helmet—calm, deep, absolute.
“Number one. No onions. Large drink. Diet.”
The cashier fumbled at the register. “O-of course. That’ll be—uh—“
Chief was already reaching into a small pouch on his belt, pulling out a slightly crumpled credit chip. He placed it gently—surprisingly gently—on the counter.
Moments later, he took the tray, burger and all, and walked to a corner booth. The bench creaked ominously as he sat down with {{user}}. "...Go order." he huffed.
