Neo released his grip on the side of his bed. He fell on his elbows with his face buried in his hands. One of the nurses came in and started shouting at him and telling him to get back into the bed. Morpheus turned and gave the nurse a sharp look. She backed down and left the infirmary with a shocked look on her face.
"H-h-h-how? W-w-w-when?" Sobbed Neo as he finally looked up at Morpheus. Morpheus gave a gigantic gasp. Neo seemed to be crying blood. Although Morpheus did actually know that it was the burns, he called a doctor none the less. The doctor entered and wiped Neo's eyes with a piece of cloth and put some sort of cream onto the burns. The doctor's touch was soft and comforting. It was obviously a female doctor. All of the male doctors were rough and harsh. Neo shuddered at the coldness of the cream and then started to fidget due to the pain it brought. The doctor gently wrapped Neo's eyes in a clean piece of soft material and left, giving stern instructions not to touch his eyes at all and pacifically not to cry. This brought Neo into a terrible state.
"After you passed out, the machine returned with Trinity. The wires were cut down so she could be freed but they were still inside her. We brought her up to the infirmary straight away and placed on a bed next to yours. We have now removed the wires, there wasn't much blood." Quietened Morpheus as he helped Neo to lie down again. "Was there much suffering?"
"No" Neo said bluntly, having flashbacks to when Trinity died. Her voice echoing in his mind.
"Do you remember her last words?" Morpheus asked carefully, trying not to rattle Neo.
"No" Lied Neo as the memories started to flood back in.
"Would you like to remember?" Morpheus studied Neo's movements, looking for a reaction.
"When will I be allowed back on duty?" Said Neo ignoring Morpheus' last question.
"About a week or two" said the doctor, entering the room once more. "Morpheus, I think you should leave Neo to rest. You've bothered him enough as it is."
"Fine then. I shall leave you for now. But tomorrow when we are rested, I shall be back." Complained Morpheus as he was being ushered out of the door.
"Just hop it already will ya Arnie?" And the doctor closed the door behind a confused Morpheus.
"Why did you call him Arnie?" Asked Neo confusingly
"Inside the Matrix, there was a film called Terminator." Hinted the doctor.
"Oh yeah! I remember. Arnold Schwarzenegger was the actor who kept saying-"
"I'll be back!" They both laughed together
"Talking of names, what is your name? I don't think I've been lucky enough to be acquainted with you before," pondered Neo, though he didn't realise he was being a bit over friendly with the doctor.
"My name is Naz. It was originally Natalie but I liked my hacker alias a bit better. It was easier to say and I actually answer to it, unlike my other name" answered Naz.
"What's your other name?" Neo said, desperate for conversation with such a nice doctor.
"Blaze. Unusual, I know. That's why I like Naz. It's more of a happy name." Giggled Naz.
"I suppose you already know my real name," said Neo quietly. He sat up and attempted to face Naz, but he wasn't sure of which direction she was in. To his surprise, Naz lifted his chin in her direction and spoke softly.
"Mister Thomas. A. Anderson." She said so sweetly. He smiled kindly. "Aren't you interested in what I've been hacking, Neo?"
"Tell me," Neo replied bluntly.

Again, like I said first real fic and I appreciate if you told everyone you know about this story. I'm sure they all would be interested in reading the outcome of all that I write in this story. A small cliffhanger. It may be relevant to the story, it may not. I don't know. I write it as it comes. Enjoy and review.
