Independent Love
A/N: It's set kind of between the matrix 1 and reloaded, but there maybe a few things out of place. Reviews would be nice. Disclaimer: I don't own Neo, Trinity, or any of the characters off the matrix; they belong to their respectful owners. I do own Rosie, and any other characters I make up in the next few chapters. Rating: Um...PG-13 just to play it safe. Summary: An argument over independence leads to a feud between Neo and Trinity, but when a source inside of the matrix puts Neo and the whole of Zion in danger, Trinity must intervene. Is their love strong enough to survive the challenge? Or will the whole of Zion fall?
Chapter 1
Trinity sat hunched up in Link's operator chair, hands folded over her knees and staring intently at the screen. A mixture of worry and anger swirled in her eyes. Neo was in the matrix, she could see his leather clad figure walking briskly through the dusty streets. Usually the sight of Neo was quite welcoming, but at the moment, all she could summon was annoyance. She was sick of being left out of things, sick of having to watch and worry about Neo as he fought off agents inside the matrix, sick of being forced to stay put because he thought it was too dangerous for her...him and his nightmares...
With a small sigh, she dropped her gaze to the steel floor, slightly ashamed to be thinking about Neo that way, But not sorry. It really was driving her mad, although she hadn't dared to show it, she had too much respect for him. But nevertheless, she decided that she had to talk to him about it. They both knew very well that she was totally competent of handling herself in the matrix, and just because they were in a tight relationship, it couldn't stop her being independent and being completely able to look after herself. She'd just have to speak to him.
Unraveling herself from the chair, she jumped lightly to the ground and glanced at the screen for a last time. She watched as Neo requested an exit, and Link took over, speaking easily into the headset. Sighing again, she turned and set off for hers and Neo's joint cabin before he could awaken and follow her. She needed some time to think.

Rosie sat at her tiny computer desk, typing away furiously. Her dark blue eyes glowed manically as she hacked away at the system. Information automatically saved itself to an MP3 like device attached via USB cord to her computer. Information about the matrix, information about the different ships, and information about Neo, the so- called 'one'.
She had found out about 'the matrix' through an ex- boyfriend of hers. Although once convinced he was absolutely mad, after the shocking news that he had died of an unknown cause, Rosie had forced herself to delve into information about his crazy obsession.
It had dragged her under, it was shocking, and it scared her half to death. But she didn't care. As far as Rosie was concerned, David had been killed by those idiot rebels in the 'real' world, and she would do anything to repay them for what they did to him. Anything. She hated them to death. She would find away to get them back. Once and for all...
***********
Cold tension swam in the air of Neo and Trinity's small steel cabin. Trinity's usually pale cheeks were flushed slightly, and she stood in defensive stance, arms folded across her chest and blue eyes blazing. Neo stood, watching her from only a few feet away, his dark eyes shining with hurt. The look on his face did nothing to deter her from the icy glare she was giving him however, so he just sighed and sat down heavily on the small cot that was bolted to the iron wall.
Silence filled the room again, and a sudden sadness overtook the annoyance in the pit of Trinity's stomach. With a sigh, she sat down next to Neo on the metal cot.
"Look-"She started, before Neo cut her off. "No Trinity, don't apologize...I just...I don't want you to get hurt" Trinity closed her eyes tightly, frustration swirling around inside her head. "Neo, I'm not a child, I can take care of myself-" "I know, but-" A faint growl escaped her throat. "But Nothing Neo! But nothing! I am not a child; I am not yours to keep under constant surveillance, If this relationship is going to work, you need to treat me equal, not as if I'm some rebellious teenager who just wants to get into trouble all the time. I am NOT going to put up with this anymore, I swear to god, you can just go to hell if you think your going to keep me out of the matrix, or out of doing anything I bloody well want to do."
A shockwave seemed to have run through the entire room, Neo sat staring at Trinity as if she'd just slapped him across the face, and she stood in the middle of the cabin, fists clenched and entire body trembling.
Tears burned at the back of her eyes, and she swiped at them furiously, not sure whether to let the silence drag on, or walk out.
In the end she chose option two, her boots sounding about five times as loud on the steel floor as they normally did, and the door sounding hollow as she shut it silently.
With no idea where to go, she wandered aimlessly up the corridor, feeling her way through the haze that surrounded her body and mind. She stopped outside what was Neo's cabin before they had started sharing hers, and pushed the door open. It was just as she remembered it, just the same as every other cabin.
Her eyes hazing over, she collapsed on the bare mattress, curled up, and cried.

A/N: Well that's the end of chapter one. Sorry it's short, and sorry it's not very good. I'm kinda stressing at the moment. Reviews would be nice :) I don't know whether to continue or not.
Luv, Nyx-Alia.
