Chapter 4 McDonalds Part Two: Sam and Dean Edition!
"Cas! Cas where are you?" Sam asked. He sounded like he was in a hurry.
"Japan with a group of teenagers. They were going to show me-"
"Seriously Cas? There's more important things to do than hang out with random people you found on the street. Why are you in Japan? We need your help!"
Castiel hesitated. He was learning so much here. Maybe Sam and Dean could learn something too.
"I'll be right there," Cas said, an idea forming in his head.
"Okay, we're in Fine Ferris Motel, room 133."
Cas hung up and turned around to the group. "Be right back."
"Wait, what?" Kaminari exclaimed, slamming his hands on the table. "But you haven't even tried McDonalds yet!"
"It will only be a few seconds," Cas said. He immediately thought of the location, and he was there.
Dean looked up from his computer. "Oh, Cas. Thank God-"
"Take my hand," Cas said. "Both of you."
Sam raised an eyebrow. "Cas what are you doing?"
"Just take my hand." Since both Sam and Dean were staring at Cas like he was crazy, he grabbed them both.
"Cas? What-"
Dean didn't get to finish his sentence. Castiel put the image of the McDonalds in his mind.
"-DID HE GO?" Bakugou was screeching.
"Oh there you are. How did you disappear like that-" Sero began.
"WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?" Bakugou continued, promptly cutting Sero off.
"Cas, why the hell did you bring us here?" Dean asked, his voice gritty with anger. "We had an important case we were working on!"
Cas ignored him and started introducing everyone. "Everyone, this is Sam and Dean-"
"Sam and Dean?" Kaminari snickered, trying to stifle his laughter. "You mean, the ones with no friends?"
Sam tensed his jaw and glared at Cas. "What did you tell them?"
"Sam, Dean," Cas continued, "The one with pink skin is Mina. The one with red hair is Kirishima. The angry looking one is Bakugou-"
"I AM NOT ANGRY LOOKING!" Bakugou yelled hotly.
"That's right, you look about ten times worse, kinda as if you were going to explode at any moment actually!" Kaminari noted cheerfully.
"I-" Bakugou began, probably loaded with at least ten different insults and thirteen death threats, but his rage was interrupted by Kirishima shoving a handful of fries into his mouth, prompting Cas to continue.
Cas gestured to the rest of the group. "The one with the weird elbows is Sero, and the blonde boy is Kaminari."
Sam sighed. "Why did you bring us here?" he asked, putting his hand over his eyes.
"To learn of course!" Cas exclaimed.
"To learn what exactly?" Dean's green eyes sparked with annoyance.
Castiel ignored him. "Everyone here has some kind of weird power! It's fascinating, really." He cocked his head and looked at Mina. "I haven't seen your quirk yet, could you show us?"
"The hell is a quirk?" Dean muttered.
"Ah yes, Kiri can you pass me that metal duck from earlier?" Mina asked, turning to face her spikey-haired friend.
"Why the hell would he have a metal-" Bakugou began, rolling his eyes as Kirishima dug through his pockets. Kirishima eventually pulled out a small shiny bath duck, made completely out of metal.
"The real question is, why wouldn't you have a metal duck!" He said casually to a flabbergasted Bakugou, passing the duck to his pink-skinned friend. She took it out of his hands eagerly, tossing it up in the air once before catching it again in her open palm. She let out a strange acidic liquid from her hands that melted the duck into a shiny, watery mess in seconds. As smoke rose from where the duck once stood, she looked up to see the adults' reactions.
"That my friends, is a quirk!" She giggled.
Dean stared incredulously at the melted metal duck. "How did you do that?" he demanded.
Ah, so you don't know about quirks either?" Kirishima muttered thoughtfully. "Where are these people from?" He said to himself.
"Well, a quirk is a sort of power," Mina explained. "Everyone's is different and mine is acid, meaning I can create acid from my skin!" she piped cheerfully.
Dean frowned. "What did you bring us to Cas?" he whispered. "A huge town of monsters?"
"Hey we're not monsters!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Trust me Dean," Cas said, staring determinedly at him. "If they had been monsters, I would have known by now."
Dean turned towards Cas and looked into his blue eyes. After they stared at each other for a few seconds, Sam groaned.
"Great," he said. "We've learned. Now can we please go back to our case. People could die!"
"We have a portable phone charger," Sero began, sticking the end of his charger in Kaminari's mouth. "And food, I don't see why you're complaining!"
"Plus, the angel dude still has to try McDonalds!" Kaminari exclaimed, muffled by Sero's charger.
"McDonalds?" Dean looked around. "You're in McDonalds?"
Cas frowned. "Is there something wrong with McDonalds?"
Dean chuckled. "No, no. I'm just surprised. Imma get myself a burger!"
"Dean," Sam muttered. "The case."
"Who cares? It wasn't that important anyway. Besides, there's food! And we deserve a break." He made his way over to the grumpy cashier.
"See? Food brings people together!" Mina said to Kaminari wistfully, the yellow-haired boy responding with a wise nod.
"Are we just not going to question the fact that some guy just, like, warped two people here? Like a certain purple mist thing I know?" Bakugou questioned with annoyance dripping from his tone.
"Nope! But we are going to shove some lightly roasted beef and cheese down this smol bean's throat!" Mina said merrily.
"Well that's one way to put it." Sero uttered with an amused eye roll.
"We should wait for the other dude to get his food then commence with the ceremony!" Kirishima said, taking a seat and snatching some fries.
"Yesh, we shall!" Kaminari said, nodding with his eyes closed.
Dean made his way over to the table, a burger already shoved in his mouth. He looked at the small box and frowned. "Why is the apple pie so small?" he asked with his mouth full. Sam sighed, knowing that he was the only mature one in this group and just wanted to go back to hunting the werewolf.
"Hey you," Mina said to Sam, pointing at him with a fry and two chicken nuggets in her mouth. "You gonna get anything?"
Sam shook his head. "I'm not really a McDonald's kind of person. I would rather have a salad or something. Also I'm not hungry."
Kaminari gasped, having overheard this absurd statement. He lifted a spoon and pointed it threateningly at Sam. "You-" He said accusingly. "How DARE you! That's it, off with his head!"
Sam raised an eyebrow, not amused in the slightest. Is this some kind of joke? He thought, tapping his foot impatiently on the floor as the teenager in front of him clenched his fists.
"Okay," Sero said, sending a roll of tape from his elbow, binding Kaminari in seconds. "Don't go all Blasty on us!"
"HEY WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" Bakugou screeched from his seat next to the window.
"Ah, so you confirm that 'Blasty' is your name?" Sero commented slyly.
Bakugou stammered inaudible threats, his eyes blazing with fury.
"I'LL ROAST YOU!" He yowled as he lunged forwards, attracting the attention of a few other customers.
"Hey Blasty," Kirishima said, with the angry blonde snapping his head towards him in response. He then proceeded to blatantly steal his fries right in his face, a smirk playing on his lips. Bakugou, now distracted from the quaking Sero, turned sharply to retrieve his fries from the red-headed boy.
Mina put her hands together at her chest, as if she were praying. "No murder today." She nodded mockingly with a smile.
Dean glanced at them with an unsure look. "Do they always act like this?" he asked Castiel.
Cas shrugged. "So far yes." Cas picked up a french fry and observed it. "Why do you humans like these so much? They're just potato sticks."
Before Kaminari could voice his shock and offense, Sero sat down next to him, where he was still taped up, and said, "Just try it."
Cas took a bite of the french fry. He chewed on it with no expression on his face.
Mina craned her neck around from where she was sitting. "So do you liike it?" She asked.
"Doesn't it taste like magic?" Kaminari asked, a twinkle in his eyes.
"No it does not," Cas said. "I've never had magic before. It tastes like how a french fry should taste, I think."
"Eh-?" Kaminari spluttered.
"Well Ii've had magic," Mina cooed sarcastically. "And it tastes just like this!"
"Well then it tastes exactly like magic," Cas said. Dean shook his head, making a mental note to teach Cas what sarcasm sounds like.
"Okay, but like, does it taste good?" Kirishima asked as he tried to free Kaminari from his tape prison with a plastic knife.
Cas studied the french fry again. "Not as good as some food I've had." He eyed Dean's mostly eaten burger. "I would like to try the red meat though."
"Ah yes," Kaminari said, wiggling his arms from the poorly-cut tape. "It is time to, finally, try your first McDonald's burger!"
"May the ceremony begin!" Mina announced dramatically, bowing her arms towards the table.
"Ceremony?" Sam groaned. "What the hell did you get yourself into Cas."
"Something beautiful!" Kirishima said with false awe in his voice, having heard the backhanded comment.
"C'mon Sammy!" Dean smirked, slapping him on the back. "You gotta learn to have fun."
"I can't have fun when I know people are dying," Sam muttered, unheard by Dean, who was waving french fries in his younger brother's face. Sam pushed his hand away and stole a fry.
"Okay, okay, enough with the dang 'ceremony'. Just let the poor man try his burger!" Bakugou called from his end of the table, remarkably more calm after having been fed.
"Er- right, right." Kaminari laughed, nervously scratching the back of his neck. "Good sir, I present to you a burger!" He said with a false British accent, gently placing the paper-wrapped food in front of Cas.
He slowly picked up the Mickey D. He put it up to his mouth, without taking the wrapper off. Dean's eyes widened and quickly put his hand in front of Castiel's mouth.
"You gotta take the wrapper off first. God, I never thought I would have to explain this to someone, let alone an angel," Dean chuckled. He took the burger from Cas and unwrapped it for him.
Cas stared confused at the burger. "Thanks," he said, taking it back.
The others cowered in suppressed laughter as they watched this scene unfold in front of them.
"Come to think of it, I think Denki once did that!" Sero commented, pointing to Kaminari with his thumb.
"Hey!" Kaminari squeaked. "That was only like twice, okay? Now shush, I wanna see this happen." He said, turning his attention back to Cas.
He slowly took a bit of the burger. As he chewed, his eyes widened. Before swallowing, he took another bite. "This is great!" he exclaimed, his mouth full.
Kaminari smiled. "See? I knew he would like it. No one can resist the power of some good Mickey Ds!"
"Ah, glad to see another man of culture." Sero said with mock seriousness.
"These kids are so weird," Sam muttered, watching their every move. He was convinced this town was filled with some kind of monster of curse, he just wasn't sure what yet.
"More like you adults are too normal!" Mina said in response to Sam's remark.
"I-" Sam started. He stopped, not wanting to become furious with the black and golden eyed girl.
"That's right friend, don't argue with the facts." Mina said, quickly turning away before Sam could react, pretending to be distracted by Kaminari's stack of sauces.
Sam tightly shut his eyes. "Don't. Sass. Me," he breathed.
Mina huffed. "Jeez, why we gotta have so many explosives in here?" She said to herself, eyeing Bakugou and Sam in particular.
"Now wait just a second," Mina said to the rest of the group. "If this here angel-man cinnamon roll thing," she said signaling to Castiel as he wolfed down his burger. "has never had a Mcdonalds, has he never had chicken nuggies?!"
Cas looked up from his delicious meal. "What's a nuggie?"
The five teenagers gaped at him, even Bakugou looked slightly surprised.
"I- you…" Kirishima tried to say.
"Okay are we sure that this is an angel and not some kind of like time-travelling, prehistoric alien who lives in a blue box?" Kaminari asked. His mouth hung open, causing Sero's charger, that he still had in his mouth, to drop limply to the floor.
"Wrong fandom," Sero whispered to the electric blond.
"Oop-" Kaminari choked, putting his hand over his mouth as if he had said something he shouldn't have.
"This is unspeakable!" Mina cried. She slammed a box of chicken nuggets in front of Cas. "Have one, and thank me later."
He looked at the chicken nuggets, still chewing on his burger. He took another bite, still staring at them.
Kaminari watched him as he ignored the chicken nuggets, still infatuated by his yummy burger. "You're really missing out!" He said in a sing-songy voice, snatching one of the nuggets and shoving it violently in his mouth.
After a few moments as Cas continued to munch on his burger, Sero shrugged. "Well, more for me!" He said, taking one and dipping it in a sauce. Dean followed, taking three chicken nuggets and popping them into his mouth.
Mina reached to get her nuggets, before realizing that they had all disappeared. "Those….those were mine…" she whimpered silently, staring down at the empty box. She looked around before spotting a few fries that had strayed from their boxes. She shrugged and collected them, putting them all in her mouth at the same time and then pouring some sauce in it to compliment the fries.
"Hey!" Dean complained. "I was gonna eat those!"
Mina giggled. "That's what 'chu get for snatching my nuggies!" she smiled.
"Hey Mina, check this out!" Kaminari called to his pink-haired friend, saving her from whatever Dean's response would be. Mina's horned head wheeled around and she had to do a double- take before properly processing what her electric friend created. She gaped in awe at the 1 foot stack of items from the table; sauces held up the base, while fries were towering on top of it like Jenga blocks.
"Woah Denki, that's pretty manly!" Kirishima commented through a mouthful of meat.
"Hey, dude you stole my fries!" Sero scowled, turning away from his yellow-haired friend, where something strange caught his eye. "Uhh, Kiri, what are you eating?" He quirked an eyebrow.
"Eh?" Kirishima said, looking up from his burger, which had been stripped of bread so he just held a slab of meat. He looked back down at his hands, realizing what his raven haired friend was referring to.
"Ah, that. I just wanted the meat, so I gave Bakugou the bread and other stuff!" He said, moving his head so that Sero could better see the spiky-haired blond beside him. The blonde in question looked up from his meal, glaring at Sero with a fierce, cold stare, warning him not to question it. Despite this, Sero had to comment anyways.
"Wait...are you just eating bread...and hot sauce?" Sero asked tentatively.
"Yeah, and Dunce Face is hogging all the hot sauce." He said hotly, gesturing to the bottom of Kaminari's tower where the sauces provided the foundation.
Sam facepalmed. "Ok I'm gonna actually do something productive instead of sitting around here, acting like the world is all cupcakes and rainbows." He stormed out of McDonalds.
"Alright," Dean scowled. "Don't be such a party pooper."
"Oh, but he's right," Kirishima started, a solemn look on his face. The others looked at this sudden mood swing, confused. "The world isn't all cupcakes and rainbows….. he forgot to include sprinkles. The world is all cupcakes, rainbows, and sprinkles." He finished, matter-of-factly.
"But it's not," Cas remarked. "Earth is made of rock and molten lava. There are no cupcakes or rainbows or sprinkles inside this planet."
"Cas… That's not what they…" Dean started, then shook his head. "Nah, nevermind." Dean frowned and looked around McDonalds. "Wait… Sam just left? Where the hell did he go?"
"I'll go get him," Cas said, immediately disappearing.
Kaminari blinked at the spot where he once stood. "Man, I'll never get used to that," he sighed.
"Me neither kid," Dean sighed.
"PLEASE DON- yeah ok I guess I'm back now," Sam groaned. Cas walked over to Dean to stand next to him again.
"Oof-" Kaminari said, pointing to Mina who had gotten up to refill her water. She was frozen in place, having been right next to where Cas and Sam teleported, her ear ringing from Sam's unexpected screech which caught her off guard.
"Er...Mina?" Sero asked, getting up and walking around to where she stood. "I think she's broken." He observed, poking her face repeatedly. He ripped a piece of tape from his elbow, proceeding to stick it to her cheek and rip it off violently.
"What the hell Soy Sauce?!" Bakugou growled, pushing his seat back and getting to his feets. "If she wasn't broken before, now she is." He said signaling to the red blotch that Sero's tape left on Mina's face.
"Ah….whoops..?" Sero shifted awkwardly.
"Maybe we should get her to Recovery Girl…" Kirishima suggested, walking over to inspect the damage.
"Wait," Dean said, shaking his hands. "Hold up. Where did elbows get friggin' tape from?"
"I-" Sero stared at him.
"Well he's late to the party," Kirishima laughed. "Late reaction much?"
"Did you like...not see when I turned Denki into a worm?"
"Or the fact that it looks like he swallowed a tape dispenser with his elbows?" Bakugou said bluntly.
"Hey!" Sero cried accusingly. "Well anyways, it's my quirk!" he said, turning away from Bakugou back towards the confused adults. He let out a strip of tape, letting it wrap around his drink and pull it back to him to demonstrate.
"Who the hell would want that kind of power," Dean muttered. "What are you, some kind of rip off Edward Scissor Hands? Do you get to pick these stupid things?"
Sero gasped dramatically. He sighed. "I'm so underappreciated in my time! Also, no, you're born with them and they're usually a mix of your parent's quirks." He explained, sipping light out of his straw.
"Then what were your parents' quirks? I'm gonna guess they had an unhealthy obsession with tape," Dean smirked.
Sero huffed. "Well actually,-" He began, only to be interrupted by Mina's pink hair popping up in front of him.
"Naw, his parents are probably just shady Flex Tape salesmen!" She said happily, but with a smug smile, her cheek still sore and her balance teetering.
"I-"
"No, no Mina, you got it all wrong." Kirishima spoke. "He is the Flex Tape salesman. His parents are just disappointed because they know he will be living in the basement eating crusty pizza for the rest of his life!"
"Uhm, excuse me?!" Sero voiced, a look of horrified betrayal on his face. "That's harsh, coming from you, man!" He whined.
"But you're not denying it!" Kirishima teased in a sing-songy voice.
"What the heck, man? When did you become so mean?" Sero complained.
"Ooo, Blasty's rubbing off on him!" Mina the shipper noted happily. Kirishima's red-haired head whipped around to face her.
"Now wait just a second,-"
"Pfft-" Kaminari choked. "What just even happened?"
"I think they are ridiculing him," Cas said, his voice and expression deadpan.
"I-" Kaminari began before pausing to rethink his response. "Thank you for clearing that up, good sir." He said, bowing his head over-dramatically.
Cas smiled proudly and said, "You are welcome." Dean tried not to laugh and slapped his hand onto his head. Kaminari followed suit, turning away to conceal his giggles. Mina grabbed the shoulder of the nearest person, which happened to be Sam, and shook him violently. "OMG THE BEAN!" She screeched happily. Sam clenched his jaw and rolled his eyes.
"Eh, guys?" Sero said, noticing the sky darkening outside. "Shouldn't we be at Blasty's house right now? Momma Blasty probably thinks we were kidnapped or something." He commented, pulling out his phone to look at the time.
"I guess so…" Mina trailed off, letting go of Sam's tense shoulder slowly.
"Well actually it's more like we kidnapped the angel dude...then he kidnapped those other dudes…" Kaminari began, but seeing the horrified look on his friends' faces he quickly added, "b-but that's not important! He came willingly...right? I'm just gonna stop talking." He finally concluded, leaving to scour out their area for leftover scraps of food.
"We should probably get back to your house, then." Sero sighed, still internally face-palming at Kaminari's spiel.
"My mom is gonna beat the crap out of you." Bakugou noted calmly.
"You're one to talk!" Kirishima cried, having met his family in the past.
"SHUT UP YOU RED-HAIRED LOSER!" Blasty screeched, sending warning sparks from his hand. Kirishima simply smiled and patted the triggered blonde on the back.
AN: Yay! This has to be one of my favorite chapters.
