Remember

Smith remembered. Remembered before he had become V.
Remembered himself and Neo , before Sutler killed him.
How Neo and he had helped the original V, after they found him, before V died and Neo was killed.


How they had moved to England, to do something new get away from their former war.

Acutally live together, for the first time actually be together.
Trying to forget where they were since it had left them to die.
Forget the Matrix, just live pretend to be completely human on his part.

Neo and he doing what they wanted sparring, dancing, listening to music , watching movies.
All together, they had been happy for the first time.
Walking the night they first met V, burned and blinded even more permantly than Neo had been.


His black-haired love giving the man his cassock, them taking him home, helping him.

Listening to V's story of what had happened to him, both of them wanting to help.
Training him on how to use his unnatural speed and reflexes.
Doing some 'terrorist' activity against Sutler and his Party.

For years , he and Neo helped until V died from consequnces of the virus on his body.
Remembered Sutlers' men, breaking into their house, he and Neo fighting them off.
But , the System working with Sutler making a Virus that only infected Neo , not him.


His love on the floor, blood from internal wounds coming from his lips.
Kneeling beside him, pushing long black hair away
"Smith. Remember why we started this... with V. The 5th of Novemember, today.
...You know who did this to V,... To us that Sutler, I don't care if I end up in Hell.
I love you, Smith. Remember that, don't forget that, my Love."


He had changed then, changed his style of clothing all black and something like Neo's cassock.
He wasn't going to forget, not ever his first Love, his only.
He would get Vengence for Neo against the System through Sutler.
They would pay, incredibly dearly for his Justice.
Changed his weapons from a Desert Egale to knives, guns were far too easy a death, and a mask.
Remember the 5th of Novemember, for Neo , for Fawkes and for V.

He was V.
He had become V.
He is V.


No longer Smith.
His name is Vengence.
