Charge is my own creation so if you want to use him ask...

Prologue:-
  A woman dressed in black trousers and a black vest top sat at her laptop typing various codes and information into it.  She was lightly built and had short ebony hair that framed her pale face.  Her deep blue eyes seemed to sparkle in the darkness from the reflection of  her screen as she continued typing quickly.  "Trin, what are you doing?"  asked the sandy haired man sitting beside her.  He was also dressed in black and had deep green eyes that stood out from his rather pale complexion. His hair was short and unkempt looking and no matter how much he combed it,  he always looked like he hadn't bothered.

  "Writing a program,"  she said simply.
  "What kind of program?"
  She shut her eyes,  trying to concentrate on what she was doing rather than her mildly distracting boyfriend.  "A program that will hide our IP address,  delete cookies at the touch of a button and make hacking a whole lot easier by sorting through hundreds of codes a minute."
  The man sighed,  "Look Trinity, ever since you saw that  'What is the Matrix'  thing you have been taking hacking to the extreme!  Don't you think hacking into the IRS was enough?"
  Trinity turned and gave the man a satisfying kiss on his lips,  "Look Charge, I think there is more to this  'What is the Matrix'  thing,  and I intend to find out what it is!"
  Charge shook his head.  "I thought we hacked for fun... to see if we could!  If you ain't careful the feds are gonna have you."
  Placing a hand on his cheek she looked deeply into his eyes,  "Please believe me... this is more than some stupid advertising campaign,  I don't know how to explain it,  but it is there and I will find out what the matrix is... whether it kills me or not!"
  "But..."  Charge went to protest, but was stopped by a passionate kiss on his lips,  "Okay Trinity...I'll trust you,  just don't go too deeply into this,  I'd hate to lose you!"  He knew it was no use arguing with her as she nearly always won.
  Trinity smiled and gave Charge a hug.  Looking into his eyes she smiled the smile that melted his heart,  "Thanks!  You won't regret it... I promise!"

  "I really hope not..." Charge replied glancing at his watch,  "Oh shit!  I have work!"  Not moving from what she was doing Trinity just nodded.
  "Erm...Trin..."
  "What?" she replied,  still fixated on the coding she was inputting to the machine.
  "Marry me,"  he asked,  producing a fair sized diamond ring from his back pocket.
  Trinity spun round and looked at him curiously.  "What?"
  Charge smiled,  he loved seeing the expression of surprise on her face.  "You heard me..."
  Trinity blinked,  trying to focus her thoughts,  but before she could answer Charge placed his finger on her lips and whispered softly,  "Not now...tonight,  we can go out for a meal and you can tell me your answer then."  He gave her a quick hug and smiled before heading for the door.  Trinity just nodded in shock and watched as her boyfriend left the apartment,  leaving her holding the ring.  She stared at it for a few moments,  but she didn't need to think about the answer,  she knew what she was going to say already.  Her mind began to wander as she thought about how Charge would react to her answer,  but her thoughts were rapidly collected as her cell phone rang.  "Hello?"  she answered.
   "Trinity,  we have been watching you.  The Matrix has you.  They know you are getting closer to the answer and are coming for you.  If you want to live do exactly as I say..."
