Author's Note: Ok this is my 1st matrix fan fiction so please be nice. I'm
gonna say that there could be spoilers for Reloaded in other chapters later
on but I don't know yet coz I haven't written them yet. :o) this takes
place after the first film and may bring things in a totally different
direction to Reloaded but I may use pieces from Reloaded.
Disclaimer: God I wish I owned the matrix but I don't so please don't sue me!! :o) it belongs to those fabulous Wachwoski brothers.
Freedom Chapter 1/?
Morpheus and Tank sat in the mess with the members of the Odesa crew. They had just arrived in order to help repair the Neb after the sentinel attack a week before. The shouts from the main deck grew steadily louder until every word was as clear as if they were there themselves. "I'm not a child! I know what I'm doing!" "For Christ's sake neo, you've unplugged for what? A month? I think I know a little bit more then you!" "Oh so I should just bow down to the all knowing Trinity?!" "I'm not saying that but do you think ill let you do whatever you want because you're 'the one'?" "That's not what I'm saying..." "Neo I'm you're superior officer. You do what I say, not what you want."
Back in the mess Morpheus sighed deeply as he heard neo making his way down there. From the looks on some of the younger members of the Odessa crew, they didn't understand how Trinity could talk to 'The One' like that. Some of them had still to accept that Neo was a person and a newbie as well. The door opened and Neo stomped in and sat down next to Morpheus. Morpheus looked at Neo. "We're going in later." "Any particular reason? Am I going to get to try a few things out?" "Not really. One of the new members of the Odessa crew has to be taken to the Oracle. I said we'd go in with her while they work on the ship." Neo just nodded.
Later on Tank, Morpheus, Neo and Trinity were all up on the main deck preparing to go in. Trinity still looked annoyed at the fact that Neo was going in. He noticed and as they were standing near each other he said quietly "I can take care of myself in there, you know." Trinity harsh laugh was very loud in the quiet that surrounded the main deck. "Really? I mean do you remember what happened last time you went in?" "Yes. We got Morpheus out and I beat an agent." "Do you have a selective memory? last time you went in you got your ass kicked more then once, blew up a government lobby, fought an agent and got yourself shot in the stomach ten times." Neo and Morpheus were shocked. Neither of them had ever seen trinity so worked up about something. Neo tried to calm her down a bit. "Trinity..." "You died Neo. You died." trinity's voice cracked when she said died and she ran from the deck wordlessly. Morpheus looked at her retreating back. "That's the first time I've seen her run in the real world," he commented. Neo went after her and found her leaning against one of the cabin doors. Her back was to him. He put his hand on her shoulder but she shrugged it off. "Do you know what it's like to watch someone you know die and not be able to do a thing about it?" Trinity didn't wait to give Neo a chance to answer. "It's like someone's put their hand inside your chest and turned your heart to ice. Do you know what it's like to watch the person you've fallen for die? To see their body punctured ten times by ten bullets?" trinity turned to face neo and put her finger to the exact spots where the bullets had hit him. "To see them take their last agonizing breath? To see their heart stop..." "Trinity stop this. Stop torturing yourself." "Neo the first time I held you, you were dead. And then you came back and it was amazing but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with the fact that you were dead." "Why didn't you say something before about this?" "I'm not very good at expressing what I feel verbally. You know how long it took me to tell you that I....how I feel about you." "You know it's hard for me to deal with too." Trinity's head shot up and for the first time since they'd started talking she looked him in the eyes. "I didn't know." "Yeah well dying and being brought back to life by a beautiful woman telling you she loves you is a bit hard to get your head around. Not to mention discovering that you're meant to help save humanity!" Neo gave a small laugh which prompted Trinity to laugh. "I'm sorry for being a bitch since..." Neo put his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them up and down. "Hey it's ok. You've had a pretty emotional week for someone who doesn't show emotion." he leaned in close to her ear and whispered "you know this is the closest I've been to you since that day. You kinda left really fast after we kissed." Trinity smiled shyly. She didn't want to tell him why she had left, how scared she'd been by what she felt and was feeling now. She tried to think of a good excuse. "Yeah well I..." "I'm scared by it too Trinity." neo interrupted her before she could lie but she pretended not to know what he was talking about. "Scared by what?" "Oh come on. Do you know how easy it is to tell when someone's scared of what they're feeling? They tell you things that they never would otherwise, they avoid the person that they have feelings for and they try to lie to themselves and everyone around them." "You don't miss a thing, do you?" Neo smiled. "I'm not so sure that you're right there. Even the Oracle mentioned it." Trinity looked confused so Neo tried to explain. "She said to me 'you're cuter than I thought, I can see why she likes you.' when I asked who, she said 'not too bright though'. She was talking about you. That much I get now but then...let's just say I've never been the smartest guy around." Trinity opened her mouth to protest at Neo putting himself down, she wanted to tell him that she would never care how smart he was as long as he stayed the same, but before she could say anything Neo silenced her with a kiss. After a short while Trinity pulled away and gently whispered, "I think we should go back to the core. We've still to take that newbie to the Oracle."
