"Welcome to Mcdonalds can I take your order?" He asked lazily as he put his phone away and leaned across the counter..
"Yeah I would like….." Percy looked at the menu carefully before deciding to throw caution to the wind, after all he wasn't looking out for his figure or anything, "I'll have 32 big macs, 1 large coke and 21 large french fries."
The teenager's eyes popped open at Percy's order but typed them in, "and a-ah is this to go or...what?"
Percy shook his head, "no it's to eat."
"Is someone else coming?"
"No, just me."
"Little dude do you really think you can eat all this?!" Derek asked pointing at the huge bill he had just printed out.
Percy shrugged, "if I can't I'll just bring it all home."
Derek blinked, "I don't think you can do that."
"Look man I'm in kind of a rash so if you could just let me decide what I can or cannot do," Percy said rolling his hands in a 'get on with it' motion.
Derek raised an eyebrow but rang Percy up, "your total is 193.19."
Percy pulled out 200$ from his inventory and gave it to the employee who looked surprised at the amount given and annoyed because he was now going to have to make such a large order.
Percy got back his change and took a seat at a table in the corner. While he waited for his food Percy looked at the TV and saw that it was the news covering latest events. There was a freak storm somewhere in Texas and a flood in florida. A celebrity had been caught cheating on his wife and an old rich man had said something racist and was now apologizing for it. Same old, same old.
But then something interesting came up, a news report on a 'freak' sinkhole had formed in the island of Nassau a few days ago.
"Police in Nassau are still not sure what caused the sinkhole. Whether it was nature or caused by man is unknown. There have been reports of people hearing bombs go off around that area but so far nothing has been found supporting the theory of the sinkhole being man made. Luckily no one got hurt as all the damage was done to an empty golf course during the middle of the day.
"And also from the island of Nassau, around 100 people have been reported missing, including Mr. Rich Cromwell, who is known world wide as the head of the Techno industry in Denmark. Police have been investigating these disappearances for the last few months but with no results. But with this case along with the sinkhole a public light had been shed towards Nassau causing the law enforcement to be put under a lot of stress."
Percy stopped listening then, so far they didn't suspect foul play or couldn't prove it, meaning they were safe. It was also good news that the public was being informed of the people Argo kidnapped from the island. But before Percy could think about this any more Derek came up with a plate filled with burgers and fries with one lone large soda.
"I don't think that's all of them," Percy said counting them all quickly, "there are about half ere."
"We ran out," Derek said, "the chef's making them as we speak."
"Right," Percy said opening up his first big mac, "oh and you guys do give free refills yes?"
Derek rolled his eyes, "yes, we do give free refills."
Percy nodded and quickly took a bite out of his burger.
12 minutes later;
Derek couldn't believe his eyes, the little kid that had come in a few minutes ago was still eating. He had finished all the burgers and was getting through the fries as well. He had to record this, people wouldn't believe him otherwise!
Derek slowly took out phone to record but Percy noticed it immediately and quickly manipulated the Mist around the device fo that it wouldn't record anything.
Percy quickly went back to eating his fries, he used a little super speed to finish them all quickly before drinking his coke in one gulp. Percy turned to Derek, "where are the rest bro?"
Derek blinked, "ah, I'll get them for you right away dude," he then stopped recording and went to back to get the rest of Percy's order.
Soon Percy had finished eating to his heart's content, all 32 Big Macs and 21 fries. Percy let out a burp and rubbed his tummy, he could feel how full he was. Surprisingly though he didn't even get a little bump on his stomach from all the food, Gamer's body must have been working over time for that.
"Dude you should totally be in a food eating competition," Derek told him with his mouth wide open.
"Thanks dude," Percy burped again, "we'll….see ya."
Percy then got up and quickly walked out of the restaurant. Derek quickly took out his phone and looked at the video. But the moment he pressed play a message popped up saying that the video file in question had been corrupted making it unuseable.
'What the hell is going on?'
Percy took a deep breath of fresh air and stretched himself out, he may not need to make another pit stop after eating so much food. Percy put on his goggles and activated his helmet before he took off in a blur of speed racing towards the highway. He quickly got on it and zooming through Ohio.
Soon Percy percy passed out of Ohio and into Illinois. He kept on running eventually going through the outskirts of Chicago before eventually running into IOWA.
+2 for Vit!
Percy had now reached the two hour mark and he knew his journey was only halfway complete. The running was okay, his pants weren't on fire any more and his tank was still feeling full. The only problem is that IT WAS SO FUCKING BORING!
Percy didn't know why he hadn't realised this before, while he was running his body may have been working but his mind was free! He tried to read a book, but he was going so fast he couldn't hold on to it, plus he did need his eyes to see the oncoming traffic so that he could avoid it.
Percy was in a rut, he realised he should have planned this out better. Maybe he should just take a train when coming back, this boredom would probably kill him if he ever tried this again.
Percy eventually came into Nebraska and then Colorado finishing up the three hour mark. Percy could feel his pants start to heat up again, but it was warm, not flaming hot. The shoes however were holding up nicely and didn't even heat up, in fact his feet were extremely cool thanks to the enchantments inside.
Percy eventually entered Utah when he started to feel hungry again, it seemed his maximum stamina got him around 876 miles at his top speed, not bad for demigod. He got off the highway again and went to the closest town with a Macdonalds. He stopped near the parking, deactivated his helmet and went in. He expected the place to be empty, but this time though it was around 9 am and the place was packed with people. Percy couldn't risk eating as he did before, to many people.
