The cyclops surveyed the police precinct, watching a the humans drew their pathetic weapons.

Puny they will make good appitizers.

He inhaled deeply, sniffing out the demigod. Wait, there was more than one smell on the air, the precinct was practically clogged with the smell of demigod!

The strongest scent of demigod was coming from a desk in the middle of the room, next to a broken printer.

He surveyed the various police officers searching for the half blood among them, when another cop came sliding into the standoff, drawing her weapon. She was wearing a black leather jacket and a fierce expression, but there was something else, her scent.

HALF BLOOD!

Rosa steadied her hand as she aimed her gun at the gargantuan man. The single red eye on the center of his forehead hungrily surveying the precinct.

"Sir," shouted Captain Holt, his gun also trained on the one eyed man, "Drop your weapon and exit the precinct or be met with force!"

The man seemed unfazed by the Captains threat and hefted his large spiked baseball bat, "I smell half-blood."

Rosa exchanged confused glances with Jake and Amy before refocusing on the threat, the man lumbered forward causing the other cops in the precinct to shout and steady their weapons.

"Yesssss," growled the man, "Half-blood, more than one"

He started towards Rosa, and she took aim at his eye, when the teenager she had just been interrogating sprinted into the fray, miraculously free of the hand cuffs and wielding one of the metal chair legs from the folding chair in the interrogation room.

"HEY PENDEJO! OVER HERE," Leo darted under the man's swing and behind him, backing away and leading him towards the elevator, "You want a tasty demigod come get it."

This kid is insane! He's going to get himself killed!

"Valdez!" She yelled at him, "Get out of there you are in the line of fire," but the kid just winked at her and continued playing his deadly game of catch with the ginormous one eyed man.

He dodged and weaved each time only barely escaping the swing of the bat, and occasionally whacking the man in the legs with his impromptu weapon.

Leo had no idea what he was doing, No surprise there, just that he needed to draw the cyclops away from the human officers even though they did arrest him, but if what the cyclops was saying was true, one of them was a halfblood, and he needed to help them. He did what he was best at, running.

As he ducked swing after swing, his mind raced furiously for a plan, he couldn't use fire with the humans, not that it would work on the cyclops. The human guns would only anger it. He needed Celestial Bronze, and unfortunately for him the only Celestial Bronze he had were several gears he was fitting together in his toolbelt, his toolbelt!, he needed that to take down this monster.

Just as a plan was forming in his head, the cyclops had caught him by the collar of his shirt and hoisted him into the air,

"Hold your fire!" he heard Detective Diaz yell.

The cyclops lifted Leo up to eye level, chuckling menacingly,

"I don't usually eat halfbloods raw, but I'll make an exception for you!",

Then lifted him up over his head and began to lower Leo towards his mouth.

BANG!

The shot rang out through the precinct. The cyclops dropped Leo to the ground, unharmed, as he clutched his enormous eye.

Whirling around, Leo saw smoke curling off the barrel of Detective Diaz's gun. The look on her face was terrifying as she approached the wailing monster. Sergeant Jeffords shook off his surprise first and ran forward, pulling Leo to his feet and away from the groaning Cyclops.

Rosa watched as Terry pulled Leo to safety. The huge man was wailing on the ground in pain. Her shot had only grazed his enormous eye, but as the Detectives watched, he stumbled to his feet, pulling a vial of swirling green liquid and throwing it against the ground before running to the window and jumping out.

Jake chased after him only to turn back,

"He vanished, no sign of him. What's that?"

He was pointing to the green vial, when Leo broke free of Terry and sprinted forward, a look of horror on his face,

"Everyone get down!"

Then threw himself over the vial just as it detonated.

Their tactical training kicked in and all the cops ducked and took cover behind chairs and desks as intense heat blasted out from the vial, but somehow Leo's body contained most of it with only a fire spurts of green fire leading out from the sides, then swirling around his body.

Rosa emerged from her cover, behind her desk, and hurried over to Leo, rolling him onto his back.

The front of boy's clothes had burned away leaving only his blue boxers, his skinny chest was dotted with strange scars, but miraculously, he was unharmed, with only a soot mark on the middle of his chest from the explosion.

"What the hell is he?" asked Jake

The squad crowded around Leo as he coughed and sat up shakily, patting his chest,

"Aw shit. I liked that shirt." then he saw their faces, "Wow, so I've got some explaining to do. But first, what does a guy need to do to get a change of clothes?"

Leo sat in the briefing room, in a new set of NYPD navy cargo pants, t shirt and boots, all of which were pretty big, but he was grateful for the clothes, and, finally, they had returned his tool belt.

The other detectives sat around him, they had introduced themselves as Jake, Amy, Charles, and Gina and Captain Holt,

Holt looked Leo in the eyes, "Explain son, Who was that man and who are you?"

Leo sighed, he had never been honest with police in his life, but Detective Diaz had saved his life and now, according to the cyclops she was in dander, he at least owed them an explanation,

"Well, Before I start, I know this is going to sound crazy, but everything I'm saying is true. The man who came into the the precinct was not a man, he was a cyclops, and he was looking for me."

"Why?" Jake jumped in, "What did you do?"

"All I did was exist. the cyclops probably wanted a meal."

"Meal? Like he was going to eat you?" asked Amy.

"Yup, now let me finish. He wanted to eat me because I'm not you average kid. I'm a demigod. Half human. Half Greek God. My dad is Hephaestus, god of fire."

Leo let that sink in studying the faces of the squad around him. They ranged from excitement(Jake) to disbelief (Amy) to nothing (Captain Holt).

"I know it sounds impossible so I'm just going to show you." and he opened his hand, igniting a small fire in the center.

And that snapped the detectives out of their stupor.

Jake, who had been leaning back in his chair, toppled to to ground, Amy jumped to her feet, her hand on her gun, Boyle backed into a door, and Terry yelled,

"DAMN LEO!"

Only Rosa and Captain Holt seemed unfazed by the fire. Holt probably because he was unable to show emotion, but Rosa, she had a look pensive thought on her face. Like she had seen this kind of thing before. Then when she caught Leo looking at her, She pulled a scowl back on her face.

"Mr. Valdez." remarked Captain Holt, placing his hand on Leo's shoulder, "If what you are saying is true, then your life in endanger, we will need you to stay at the precinct until further notice. you can stay in the break room, please make your self comfortable, I need to confer with my detectives for a moment,"

"Sure dude, You're the boss!" remarked Leo, then he walked over to the break room and flopped on the couch, after throwing his pop tarts into the toaster.

Holt turned to his detectives once Leo was out of the room, "Well detectives, this is new territory for us, but we need to do our jobs and find this ... cyclops... before he strikes again."

He pointed at Jake, Charles and Amy, "Boyle, Peralta, Santiago, run surveillance"

"Dream team," coughed Boyle into his fist.

"Terry, Gina, dig up any other cases similar to this one, maybe this guy has a history."

They fist bumped.

"And Diaz," Holt said, turning to his last detective, "Talk with Leo, maybe he will open up to you a little more. Squad, Dismissed!"

"Wait Captain, could we talk for a second?" asked Rosa as the Other detectives filed out.

"Of Course."

Rosa inhaled deeply, gathering herself before she told the captain this, "That cyclops wasn't after Leo. It was after me."

She let the implications hang in the air.

"So you are..."

"Yep. My dad is also a god."

Silence filled the room.

"Ok. Good talk." muttered Rosa and she hurried out of the room leaving her captain dumbfounded. He didn't need to know more. She had already shared too much of herself with them.

On her way to the breakroom to talk with Leo, she got stopped by Jake, "Rosa Wait! While you were talking with the Captain, we got a call. The cyclops struck again. And he left a message."

He handed Rosa his phone, on the screen was a picture of a dead body, and carved into the floor was a message, a message for her,

"You cannot hide, child of war, your secret is out."

Oh shit, she thought.
