"I want a coffee, Mortal. Please." The barista raised an eyebrow, not even pretending to have any patience for customers who weren't billonaires. "Which one?" "A normal one." "Which one?" Toni smirked. And quickly surpressed the tingling sense of guilt about not bringing Cap her sugar fix. Or helping Thora. But she was a Goddess she should be fine. And Toni just had to watch her trying to stare the barista into cooperation. For purely scientific purposes. "A liquid, black one in a tiny white cup", Thora explained like speaking to child. The barista was not impressed. "We don't serve those. Choose one of them." She pointed at the menu over her head. "But there is no coffee." "Yes, there is." Thora used her hammer to point at the menu. "It doesn't say anything about coffee." "Look, you've got to make up your mind or leave." By now everyone in the small shop was staring at them. "I made up my mind. I want a coffee." "So chose one! What are you? Stupid?" And that was probably the thing she shouldn't have said. As much as Thora loved the mortals, she really hadn't patience for insults. She slammed Myöllnir on the counter and glass shattered. Cap's shield blocked the barista from splinters and suddenly Frances was standing on her table, bow in hand, ready to kill anyone who made a sudden move. Toni shrugged. Thora dropped her head. "Sorry, mortal, I'd just really like to drink a coffee with my friends." The barista was pale as the wall behind her, shooting frantic looks between Steph who was standing next to her, holding her beloved shield and smiling reassuringly, Toni, who balanced the tray and tried not to laugh, and Thora. When Thora tried one of her well-meaning-but-actually-kinda-terrifing smiles she nodded frantically. "No problem! No problem at all." Seconds later she handed Thora a cup of freshly brewed coffee over the remainders of the counter. Visibly satisfied, Thora followed Steph and Toni to their table. "You mortals have some very strange customs", she declared and Toni just had to press a quick kiss on her cheek. "You, my friend, are probably the first person ever to get a regular coffee at a Starbucks", she smirked.
