AN: So Taylor Swift's new song came out 'State of Grace' and it automatically made me think of Thaleo, it fits so perfectly even the name. I just love it so much. It gave me the insperation to write them a fic. So here's a little fic for them. My theory is that The next book is about the big prophecy and the last one will be about the battle between Camp Halfblood and Camp Jupiter. It takes place after the quest and during the battle of the camps. I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, or State of Grace.

Thalia sprinted down the busy streets of New York City, her heart in her throat but she tried to keep herself calm in front of her huntresses. The Roman's had attacked Camp Halfblood, why hadn't Lady Artemis informed her sooner? So she wouldn't be bustling down the streets looking an idiot with a bunch of girls dressed in silver parka's. Armed with silver bows and fiece glares at any boy who looked there way.

Of couse Thalia didn't know what they saw, maybe a pack of cheerleaders or a jogging team.

Finally she found her way to the bus stop, she pulled some normal money from her leather jacket pocket. She always carried it around, just in case. She took the girls to rest for a bit. She needed to make a call. Well an iris message. She dug deeper into her pocket and pulled out one golden drachma, greek money. She looked around, she needed some source of water. She looked down at the puddles conviently by her feet from the latest New York City rain. She flipped the coin and let it submerge it's self into the puddle of dirty street water.

"Oh Goddess Iris please accept my offering." she first spoke, her voice wavering not sure if the message would go through. After all the gods had much better things to be doing then answering her call, they currently had the crisis of the Roman Camp and the Greek Camp declaring war.

She thought for a moment of who she should call. She knew her brother and Percy were probably fighting off some sort of monster and Annabeth and Piper fighting at there sides. She decided for that moment the perfect person to call. Someone who probably would be happy to see her. Not that her brother and her friends wouldn't but he would be able to tell her the information she needed to know. Where they were and when they would be getting back to camp.

"Leo Valdez. The Argo 2." she waited as the puddle slowly disolved and a muddled picture of a young curly haired boy appeared, his face covered in grease and sweat. His brown eyes looking every which way and his hands on what looked like a Wii remote. He looked very stressed and under pressure. Because of his fire powers Thalia wasn't sure if this was the best time to be calling him. She hesatated for a moment, trying to figure out what to say. "Leo!" she finally exclaimed. Leo didn't even look down at her. "Leo Valdez!" she yelled ugently. He didn't even blink. She finally musted up all the voice she could, ignoring the strange stares she was getting from the other people at the bus stop and shouted, "HOT HEAD." at the top of her lungs.

Leo glanced down from his work, a tiny voice breaking into his mess of thoughts. And his eyes looked down at his glass of water. There clear as glass, the dazzling Thalia Grace. Jason's beautiful huntress sister. he choked for a moment, his brain freezing for a moment trying to figure out why Thalia was in his water glass and then he remembred. Iris messaging.

"Leo, thank gods." Thalia let out a sigh of relief. Leo felt like he was about to explode, Thalia Grace was relieved to see him. He had to be dreaming.

"Thalia." he managed to stutter, he almost forgot where he was for a moment and remembered the ship. He was steering it. He looked back up at his computer screen for a moment checking that everything was fine and then hit auto pilot. He looked back down at the glass.

"Is everyone alive over there?" Thalia asked. Leo grimanced for a moment and Thalia took that as a bad sign. She knew that only three could ever return from a quest and there were seven people over there. Seven. Though once Percy went on a quest with four people and everyone came back alive, just at different times. "Sorry, bad question." Thalia fumbled over her words for a moment before decided it was best just to get to the point.

"I'm assuming you know about the Roman's attacking camp?" Thalia questioned Leo and he nodded, wiping some sweat off his face with the sleeve of his army jacket. "Yeah, they gave us some hell and attacked the agro before we left for Rome. Did Reyna try to slow them down?" Leo asked. He took the water glass and moved over to the edge of the ship, leaning against the rail keeping him from falling into the gloomy sky. "Reyna?" Thalia have him a confused look, raising one eyebrow. Leo realized that Thalia probably didn't know about Reyna, or Octavian, or anyone over at Camp Angry Pants. "Sorry, I forgot you don't really know anything." Leo said sheepishly. "Yeah, that's why I need you to catch me up."

Leo bit his lip, he didn't have enough drachma's in the world to catch Thalia up on all the stuff that went down during the quest. "It's a long story." he sighed.

Thalia felt agravation build up inside of her. She took a deep breath, noticing a few electict bolts flickering at her finger tips. She had to calm down. "Okay, where are you right now?" she glanced back at her huntresses who were lounging around on the bus benches, they looked up at Thalia expectently. Each piecing pair of immortal eyes staring her down. She felt the hair on the back of neck stand up.

Leo walked back over to the computer montor, he clicked the mouse and pulled up the map and radar. "Right over New York, we're flying into Manhattan as we speak." Thalia glanced up. "Do you happen to be by any bus stops?"

Leo clicked a few more buttons and zoomed in on the map. "Yeah, why?"

Thalia grinned one of her wicked grins. Her eyes lit up, glittering like diamonds. Leo tried to keep his feelings in check. He didn't have time to flirt with anyone, he had to save Camp.

"Do you happen to have a very long rope?"

After a couple minutes a very long rope made of steel fell down from the grey gloom above. Thalia motioned for the huntresses to start climbing. One by one the pack of silver coated girls pulled themselves onto the ship with the help of Leo and Piper holding onto the rope with all their might. Thalia was the last to make her way onto the beautiful agro 2. It was more spectacular then Thalia had pictured it. Leo had really out done himself on this one. She looked around viewing everything. Leo was at the front of the ship controling it with more devices then Thalia had ever seen smashed together before. Piper stood holding something in her hands,it glimmered gold and Thalia felt her throat get dry. A lump growing in it. She tried her best to swallow it. It was Jason's gold coin, the one that changed into his pure gold sword, mace, spear, or whatever he really wanted. He always had it with him. Her intense eyes staring into it, they were bloodshot. Rimmed with red from tears. She had a strong look on her face, one Thalia knew far too well.

She walked over to her and placed a caring hand on Piper's shoulder. Piper glanced up at her and they stared at each other for a moment. Neither of them speaking, Thalia dreaded what Piper's words might say and Piper was just too tired to deal with trying to come up with words.

"Is he?" Thalia asked.

Piper noticed Thalia's normal hard expression soften for a moment, one expression Piper had never seen on Thalia before. Her lips pursed as if waiting for the worst. Her eyes reminded her of Jason's. Just as brave and bright.

"Dead? I don't know." Piper tried to keep her self contained, holding back any emotions she had. She was done crying, it hurt too much. She knew Leo needed her to be strong but without Jason a part of her felt empty. She wasn't complete. Thalia sat down next to her, glancing at the coin in her hand and then pulled Piper into a warm hug. Holding Piper's shaking body. Piper let a couple tears spill down her already tear stained cheeks. After about two mintues Thalia let her go. "Jason's a strong warrior, I know you know that. He wouldn't go down without a fight." Thalia gave Piper a hopeful smile before getting up.

She slowly moved towards Leo, who was hunched over his computer. She noticed a girl she had never seen before. She was tall, farely young. Thirteen or Fourteen? She had dark skin and insane chocolate curls. She looked more tired then sad, her figure almost as if it was flicking from reality and somewhere far away. She looked at Leo with a whimsical air. As if she had known him for a long time. Her armor was blood stained and her eyes red, but not as red as Pipers. Thalia walked up to her and gave her a nod. "Um, may I speak to Leo alone?" Thalia asked. Leo turned around, his eyebrows raised as hair as they possibly could be. "Yes. Of course." the girl glanced once more at Leo, his mouthed something to her and she nodded. Then she gave Thalia a slight bow and then made her way over to Piper.

"Who's she?" Thalia asked, leaning against the desk that held the controls to the ship. Thalia had no clue how Leo understood what was going on, it was a mix of computers and other electrontic pieces. It was very much a cluttered mess. Very much like how Leo looked. His dark curls stood on end, his eyes weren't red but more glazed over with huge dark rims circling them. His face had a long cut on his cheek bone and his army jacket at blood stains on the back. She noticed his frazzled hands hovering over each control. He looked like a mad scientist who had had one to many cups of coffee.

Leo frozen for a moment came back down to earth and noticed Thalia was talking to him. To distracted by his own ship to even concider hitting on her. It had been a long few weeks, far to many for his taste and a also too much blood. He ran his fingers though his hair, not to tame it but to try to keep them busy so he didn't press a wrong button and explode the ship. "Oh, that's Hazel. She's an old family friend." his eyes didn't waver from the computer screen. Thalia found it odd, this was a completely different Leo from the last time she had seen him. He looked older more mature. He hadn't even cracked one joke since she had seen him or hit on her. It was almost like he was a different person. He had lost his humor and gained seriousness.

"Oh, okay." Thalia didn't know much about Leo's family. Jason had mentioned something about him being in the foster program and his mother dying because of Gaea. "So, how long til we get to camp?"

Leo typed something up onto the computer and pulled up the map once more. "We'll be ariving shortly, in about ten mintues. You better tell your girls to arrow up." Leo clicked out of the window, looking over at Piper and Hazel. Thalia nodded, turning to walk away but Leo stopped her. "Thalia, I'm sorry about Jason. I could have save him, I just..." Thalia looked at Leo. She saw the guilt in his brown eyes. He had always been so warm and sweet, he seemed to broken and alone. She knew a lot had happened during the quest, gods and monters liked to mess with Demi-gods heads. Warping peoples words and twisting their thoughts. She knew this well, Luke had done this to her, making her think one way. She then did something that she knew Leo would think was strange. She grabbed his arm and pulled him onto a hug. Leo froze, not sure what to do. Thalia's arms wrapped around him and she dug her face into his shoulder. He smelled like a strange mix of gasoline and tobasco sause. As well as camp fire smoke. He was warm, but not too hot. It was probably the nicest feeling in the world, she hadn't hugged anyone for months, let alone a boy. The last person she had hugged had been Jason last winter. "It's not your fault Leo." she whispered. She then let go and headed over to the huntresses which stared at her with wide eyes.

Leo stood there, awestruck. He felt a new surge of confidence run through him. "Come on guys, we've got a war to end."

AN: So I could end it here or write more chapters or just leave it as a one-shot. Please R&R and tell me what you think! Thanks!
