Of Prophecies and Partners
Rating: PG-13 (kiddies, this one be not for you)
Disclaimer: I don't own Neo, Trinity, Morpheus...blah blah blah... I own Xenon and you must ask before borrowing him ;) If I was making money off this, I'd be rich.
Summary: She was meant to love The One but she already had a partner. Prophecies interfere with love and confusion is amidst her. How will Trinity be able to cope with the choice of her loved one?
AN: Excluding this one, all author's note will be at the end of each chapter. I'm sorry if Trinity comes across as
skanky or slutty. I didn't mean for her to turn out like that. Xenon will not be a male Mary-Sue. I promise that. A/R fic; borderline A/U. Takes place before the Matrix and similarly follows that plot line. Constructive criticism is welcomed. All flames will be fed to my fireplace for marshmallow roasting.
Chapter One:
She stared at the screen of green, scrolling encryption. All the years she'd spent on the Neb had given her a knack for reading and interpreting code. Much more than her past life in the Matrix. Though she couldn't call it much of a life. It didn't happen and she never existed until she met Morpheus. It was as simple as that. She tried to keep an open mind whenever anyone brought up the subject of life in the Matrix. She was bitter about leaving her past "life" behind. She'd had everything, as her friends put it. But now it was all gone. This was why she seemed so cold to outsiders. But to those who knew her, she was somewhat of a treasure.
"Trinity."
She jumped in her seat and whipped her head around to confront the voice. He stood before her, tall and proud. She was his and he was hers. Xenon. Even the sound of his name on her tongue gave her tingles. She'd met him months earlier when he was freed from the imprisonment of the Matrix. The Oracle had warned her not to love him, but she had let love interfere. Nothing bad ever came from loving someone. It was what she needed. It was what the Neb crew needed. Trinity had been bitchy without purpose before Xenon. She inhaled sharply and looked at him lovingly.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough to admire your beautiful features."
Trinity smiled sheepishly as he helped her down from the chair. They stood together, Xenon holding Trinity. He brushed her raven hair off her face.
"Have I told you lately how much I love you?"
"All the time," Trinity whispered.
"How's Morpheus doing?"
"He's fine. He's gone to see the Oracle again. He thinks he may have found The One this time."
"Seems as though he may be busy for a while. Why don't we go sneak off on our own?"
"I, uh, can't." Trinity motioned toward the screens. "I'm on shift."
Xenon starting kissing Trinity's neck. "To hell with shift work. I need you."
Trinity welcomed the kisses, hungrily. "Tank! Come take over!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They had just barely closed the door when they began kissing passionately. Xenon pushed Trinity up against the wall, running his hands up her back. She shuddered with delight and began removing his shirt. He allowed her to remove his shirt as he helped her discard her own. He lifted her up and lay her on the bed, sitting on the edge himself. He traced her jawline with his finger.
"My god. You're so gorgeous."
"You're not a bad piece of meat either."
Xenon slipped Trinity's pants off her hips and she did the same with him. Soon their undergarments lay on the floor as well. They slid together, as one, making love to each other.
Tank knew exactly why Trinity had called for him to take over. He grinned to himself and shook his head. Those two were so amorous at times that they found it difficult to concentrate on their work. He scanned the code and could see that Morpheus was just leaving the Oracle. Minutes later, he received the call.
"Operator."
"I need an exit, Tank."
"Right away." He typed feverishly at a keyboard. "The corner of 128th and Pine. It's an abandoned bus terminal."
"I'm on it."
Tank sat back in his chair, watching the code and waiting. It didn't take long. He rose from his seat and removed the plug from the back of Morpheus' head.
"Anything of interest?"
"I need a locate on a person."
"She gave you a name?"
"Run a search on Thomas A. Anderson, or Neo as he is called in the computer world."
"Right away, sir."
Morpheus turned to walk away when something stopped him.
"I thought Trinity was on duty."
"Oh. She was. I took over."
"May I ask why?"
"Do you really want to know?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Both lay together, panting and sweaty. They were silent for a while. She loved him and he loved her. As far as she could see, nothing would ever change that.
"Xenon?"
"Mmm?"
"Where do you see our future going?"
"Ours as in we? Or ours as in Zion?"
"Us. Together."
"I couldn't imagine loving anyone else. Why?"
"I just..." Trinity stopped. Dare she tell him?
"You just...what?"
"Nothing. Nothing. I love you."
"I love you too."
Trinity sighed contentedly and buried herself further in her lover's arms. Nothing would ever happen to them. Nothing could ever happen to them. She shuffled her thoughts around, blocking the thought of losing him. Morpheus should be back by now. Hopefully he had good news from the Oracle, if that was possible.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sir, I've found a Thomas Anderson. He lives in an apartment alone, hacking into other systems and selling bootlegged programs. He works for a software company not far from his home. He's single and parent less." Tank allowed his opinion to get the better of him, "Seems like a loner to me."
"Good work, Tank. Now we must start the task of freeing him."
"Morpheus, are you sure about this? I mean, we've searched for ages and we've always been wrong."
"I have a feeling about this, Tank. He is The One. Call the others. We must go into the Matrix and find him."
"Yes sir."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Xenon and Trinity sat on the bed. Neither spoke a word. The air seemed tense and Xenon found himself running dialogue through his brain. He wanted to say something. He had to say something. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. Trinity seemed content with staying silent. Something was bothering her. He knew it. He could see it in her eyes, even when they made love. It had only began troubling her lately and he wondered if the fault was something of his own accord. He just had to say something.
"Uh, Trin..."
She lifted her head. "Hmm?"
"You seem bothered lately. I was just wondering. Um...uhh...." he began to tense, nervously.
Trinity stared into his eyes.
"I was just thinking..um...areyoupregnant?"
"What???"
"You seem bothered. I just thought that was it."
"Oh. Hahahaha." She smiled and kissed him on the forehead. "No, no, no. That's not it."
Xenon breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought it was my fault."
Trinity's smile faded and she shook her head. "No, it's not you. I just have a lot on my mind. That's all."
He returned her kiss and leaned in closer to her ear. "Let me know if you ever want to talk."
Trinity swallowed and nodded.
Both jumped as there was a knock on their door. Xenon left the bed and answered it. Morpheus stared back at him.
"It is time. We think we've found him."
Xenon opened the door further and Trinity shielded her eyes from the external light.
"Trinity, you're wanted to be seen by the Oracle."
Trinity felt a pit in her stomach. She was loathing the arrival of this day. She knew it would come sooner than she wanted. Her whole world would be turned upside down in a matter a little while. The Oracle had a habit of doing that. She'd know that Trinity hadn't taken her world and she would scold her for it. Although, the Oracle always told everyone to make choices on their own, despite what she said, Trinity feared that her choice to love Xenon will lead to a disastrous end.
"I'll just strap on my boots, then."
