There are those who don’t realize that they’ve got hero genes. They hide behind normal jobs, going along as normal folk, until a situation forces them to whip out their abilities they didn’t know they had.

That’s exactly like this fast-food worker when one mother had a medical emergency while getting food for her children. He heard her kids screaming, so he did something amazing to help them.

Pedro Viloria was a 22-year-old employee at McDonald’s, but behind the uniform, is a true boy wonder.

It was just a normal day at work for Viloria as he manned the drive-thru at his local McDonalds. That’s when an off-duty Police Officer came to the drive-thru to grab some quick food for her children.

There was nothing to suggest that it was going to be a different day, until the time came to get her food. That’s when her car rolled right past the window without stopping, and her kids were in the back yelling for help.

“Her kids were screaming, ‘Mother, mother, stop it, mother, what are you doing.’ Viloria told Inside Edition.

The heroic fast-food worker showed his athleticism, leaping straight through the small window and running to their aid.

It’s like those awesome scenes in hero themed films. This guy is so fast. The whole incident was caught on video, and you can see the car slowly roll by, as Viloria figures out what’s going on and makes his move.

With no hesitation at all, Viloria runs to the woman’s car to help. His biggest concern was the kids in the back seat pleading for help, so he went straight to them to ease their little minds. The Flash? Quicksilver? You choose.

Luckily, an off-duty Fire-Rescue Officer just happened to be ordering food inside of the McDonalds.

Viloria, the Fire-Rescue Officer, his partner, and another paramedic, all rushed to the off-duty Police Officer’s side to help her. The brave citizens saved the day. It could have been so much worse for the woman and the kids.

“I thought, if these kids lose their mother today, that’s gonna be tragic. If I would have needed to die to save that woman, I would have done it.” Said Viloria, he went on to say: “I never panicked at all, I just, my brain was on hero mode.”

The woman made a full recovery, and Viloria went viral for his heroic actions.

The quick-thinking Mcdonalds employee deserves to be recognized for the way he sprung into action. Had he not, who knows how this could have ended. It has to be said that not everyone would have had his instincts of springing into action.

Over 4 million people have watched the video on YouTube.
