"YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE, father!" Izuku beamed, reenacting a fight with Katsuki for the god.

"I mangled the minotaur, grappled with the Gorgon, Just like Yagi told me," Izuku and Katsuki circled around each other. "I analyzed the situation, controlled my strength and kicked!" He then playfully kicked Katsuki into the nearby fountain.

"The crowds went wild!" Izuku grinned then took a bow. "Thank you, thank you."

Hisashi looked down and chuckled. "Hah! You're doin' great, son. You're doin' your old man proud!"

"I am glad to hear you say that, father. I've been waiting for this day a long time." Izuku took a deep breath, puffed out his chest and stuck out his arms.

"Hmm.. What day is that, son?" Hisashi questioned with his brow wrinkled.

"The day I rejoin the gods."

Hisashi sighed. "You've done wonderfully, you really  have, my boy. You're just not there yet. You haven't proved yourself a true hero."

Izuku looked at his father stunned. "But father, I've beaten every single monster I've come up against. I-I'm the most famous person in all of Greece. I'm an action figure!"

Izuku pulled a mini figure of himself out his pocket, sticking it out towards his father, squeezing the toys waist to make it flex.

"I'm afraid being famous is not the same as being a true hero." Hisashi said gently.

"What more can I do?" Izuku asked.

"It's something you have to discover for yourself." Hisashi leaned down and used his finger to lift Izuku's chin up.

"But how can I-" Izuku grabbed his father's finger, in a pleading manner.

"Look inside your heart." The god leans back in his chair and looks ahead. Lightning strikes and the statue of Hisashi becomes stone once more.

"Father, wait!" Izuku cried, falling to his knees and slamming his fist onto the tile floor.

In the city, a carriage passes past rich gates.

"On your left is Izuku' villa." Explains the tour guide, rolling his eyes as a crowd of girls followed behind him, giggling.

"My next stop is the Pecs and Flex gift shop where you can pick up the Great Hero's 30-minute workout scroll "Buns of Bronze".

Inside the villa, Izuku struggled to keep his posture as he posed in lion skin for a new vase painting. He held his right arm in the air, sword in hand, as his left hand held a shield.

"At 1:00 you got a meeting with king Augeas. He's got a problem with his stables. I'd advise you not to wear your new sandals."

"Yagi?" Izuku whined, lightly turning his head to his mentor.

"I told you, don't move!" The painter barked making Izuku flinch.

"D.G.R., the Daughters of the Greek Revolution." Yagi continued reading from the scroll he held.

"Yagi."

"At 3:00, you gotta get a girdle from some amazons..."

Izuku groans and drops the sword and shield from his hands "Yagi, what's the point?"

The painter explodes as the sword hit the column making the paintbrush slip. "That's it!" He threw up his hands and collected his things but before he could walk away, Yagi stopped him "Keep your toga on, pal."

The painter growls and throws his various colors of paint at the blonde before storming out.

Yagi wipes the paint from his chest and turns his attention back to Izuku. "What do you mean, "what's the point ?" You wanna go to Olympus, don't ya?"

"Yeah, but this stuff doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere." Izuku sighed as he slumped down on the pedestal, taking off the ridiculous lion skin and tossing it aside.

"You can't give up now, I'm counting on ya'."

Izuku shook his head. "I gave this everything I had." 

Yagi takes a seat next to the green-haired boy, placing a hand on his back "Listen to me, kid. I saw 'em all. And I am tellin' you - and this is the honest-to-Hisashi truth - you got somethin' I never seen before.

"Really?"

Yagi nodded. "I can feel it right down in this gut of mine. There is nothin' you can't do, kid."

Izuku smiled. Then, the doors of the villa suddenly busted open and a crowd of screaming girls rushed in.

"It's him!" one girl shouted, charging towards Izuku.

"Hey, watch it! Watch it! Watch-" Yagi barked as the girls shoved him out the way.

"I touched his elbow!" A girl screamed.

"I got his sweatband!" Squealed another.

As the girls began to fight for the souvenir, Izuku fell to the floor and desperately tried to crawl away.

"Yagi, help!" Izuku wheezed.

"Okay, escape plan beta." Yagi whispered.

"Gotcha."

The blond rushed to the villa doors and whistled, catching the girls attention only for a second before turning their heads, seeing a missing Izuku.

"Hey! Where is he?"

"There he goes! On the verranda!" Yagi shouts, pointing out the door. In a rush, the girls were quick to run outside taking the older man with them.

The door shut as Y/N leaned on the wall. She swayed her hips with each step, looking around the room when she noticed two sandals beneath the hem of the closed curtain.

"Let's see, what could be behind curtain number one?" Y/N yanked on the cord and the curtains flung open, revealing a flustered Izuku.

"Y/N!" Izuku yelps, fixing his clothes and hair.

"It's all right. The sea of raging hormones has ebbed." She assured him.

"Gee, i-it's great to see you. I-I missed you." Izuku shyly chuckled as he stepped out from his hiding spot.

Y/N dropped on the couch. "So, this is what heroes do on their days off?" She joked.

Izuku waves her off. "I am no hero..."

"Sure you are. Everybody in Greece thinks  you're the greatest thing since they put the pocket in pita."

Izuku chuckles. "I know. It's-it's crazy you know, I can't go anywhere without being mobbed, I mean.."

"Ah. You sound like you could use a break." Y/N said. "Think your nanny would go," she reached over and squeezed a Yagi action figure, a squeaking sound producing from it's chest. "Berserk if you played hooky this afternoon?"

"Oh gee. I-I don't know, uh, Yagi's got the rest of the day pretty much booked."

Y/N pushed herself of the couch and pulled Izuku's collar playfully "Just follow me. Out the window,  round the dumbbells, you lift up the back wall and we're gone."
