Denial
The dark-skinned Niobe Captain of the ruined Logos shook her head.
She would miss that old hovercraft, it was like saying good-bye to a friend.
Niobe'd always been on the Logos even before she become it's Captain.
The elevator doors open and she walks off towards her apartment.
When she opens the door the apartment is a mess, dirty clothes strewn all over.
The table and everything else was simple since she'd hardly been here at all.
She walks in and picks up the clothes before putting them in the basket for later.
Then Niobe curls up on her rough brown couch , the war was finally over.
After all these years fighting , she couldn't believe it was finished.
Neo and Trinity had really done it , even if they wouldn't come back.
When Niobe could finally get back into the Matrix it would be easier.
The Agents needed to see them do something worth killing now.
Still she wasn't ever going to trust the Agents.
But that didn't help her with this...problem.
The problem being that she couldn't stop thinking of the 'vampire' program.
How 'she' could enjoy the taste of tears or love.
Niobe still hadn't expected to be asked for a kiss.
Could still feel the programs lips warm and soft against hers.
Days after the fact ,a first kiss that she'd been 'terrible' on.
A second that she'd pretended was with someone else.
The 'woman' smiled knowingly as she lied, said that my true love was male.
Niobe did love Jason and Morpheus, but her true love was someone else.
Perse the woman who she'd met all those years ago.
Before she'd ever heard of the Matrix a few months into her late teens.
It bothered Niobe how much the program looked like Perse.
The pale skin and black-hair , the huge dark eyes.
The emotions vampire was like her first love in looks.
Except her love had short hair and a different type of dress.
That'd been red instead of white like 'her' dress.
'Perse wasn't a program, she couldn't be. Could she ?
She did so much for me saved my life , helped me and gave me my name.
I wouldn't ever be afraid to kiss her. But a program that could've killed how many people?
Of course I was scared to kiss that, that thing.'
Why had she never looked for Perse after she found out about the Matrix ?
Should have looked for her at least once. How beautiful she was , would be even now.
Niobe puts her head down ,stares at the far wall blankly and sighs.
Wishing as she had for years that her love was here.
Shakes her head in denial as she thinks
'It can't be her, that so called-'woman' can not be her.
Perse was a woman not a program.
Or had that vampire taken Perse's form ?'
Niobe closes her eyes and tries to remember.
She expected the memories would be dim after all these years.
They weren't , they were in fact incredibly fresh.
