The Twilatrix

I do not own Twilight or the Matrix. If I did I would be minted—and I assure you that I'm not. No copyright infringement intended. This is just for fun.

I can't wait to put the Edward and James/Trinity and Cypher conversation into words. It's one of my favourite scenes!

~X~

Carlisle, Rosalie, James, Edward and Bella make their way out of the building, dropping into an underground parking lot. In a split second, they're aware of the regular cops waiting in readiness. Smoke bombs send a mist rolling towards them.

Most bolt immediately, but Edward pauses as James falters.

"James, come on."

He makes no move, and after a pause, Edward leaves him, joining the others by plummeting down a manhole.

Back in the bathroom, riddled with bullet holes and shattered tiles, Agent Jane looks up at Alice. "The great Alice Cullen—we meet at last."

She continues to lie on her back underneath her dark, tiny captor. Both are covered with a film of white dust.

Alice looks down with contempt, her grip on her equally tiny, blonde prisoner. "And you are?"

"Jane. Agent Jane." Her voice is even with a hint of amusement.

"You all look the same to me," Alice spits.

Finally showing her true strength and why the idea of being held by this…thing on top of her is so ridiculous, Agent Jane pushes backs Alice's hands until they're well away from her body.

Alice smashes her forehead into Agent Jane's face. In response, Jane grabs Alice by the neck and reciprocates the action three times, causing her opponent to make a choking noise and take a few brief moments to regain her senses.

Before Alice has a chance to orientate herself, Jane smashes a fist into her chest and she flies back into the wall, shattering a porcelain sink with another grunt. Alice is now caked with a mixture of white dust and blood.

Using only the flick of her ankles to stand up from her lying position, Jane waits for Alice to attack.

Striding forward, Alice aims a side kick, which Agent Jane blocks easily, along with the follow up punch, though she's unable to catch Alice's knee, which connects with her stomach. Alice punches Jane square in the chest, but before she can pull her fist to land another, Jane's hits her target, and Alice staggers.

As the sides of both hands smash into her clavicle, Alice is too stunned to make any attempt to avoid the slap Jane aims, and then Alice loses her footing again, this time destroying the toilet bowl. As she manages to get to her hands and knees, Alice is knocked into the wall again as Jane's foot connects with her stomach. But the pain now clears Alice's mind enough to right herself, and continue her attack.

Shaking the dust out of her eyes, Alice blocks Jane's fist, and then drops to balance on one hand while she gives two hard kicks to Agent Jane's stomach, then returning to an upright position in time to strike a firm left hook to Jane's face.

It's not firm enough to prevent Jane's retaliatory right hook, and Alice stumbles toward the wall. Ducking, Alice avoids Jane's fist, which smashes through the brick work, and then dances out of the way of a number of follow up jabs.

They exchange and block punches until an elbow to Alice's cheekbone sends her flying into a corner.

Jane is on her straight away, but Alice manages the impossible by blocking almost every fist, and then her knee connects with Jane's stomach again, pushing her halfway across the room.

Jane charges again, but Alice leaps into the air, using the hold of her feet and the stiffness in her arms and back against the broken tiles to keep her torso above Jane's reach. Alice tries to kick out, but Jane grabs her calf and flings her across the room, screaming.

Alice lands on her back, her digital spine cracking and sending shocks of agony throughout her body. As she rolls over, she sees Agent Jane looking down at her with sadistic glee, before she turns and walks out of the door where a number of dumbfounded SWAT team members have been watching the exchange.

Pausing, Agent Jane looks back and watches Alice use the smashed sink to get to her feet. "Take her."

The SWAT team pours in, nightsticks drawn, and though Alice lands a punch on the first arrival, they soon beat her down to the floor.

On the Neb, Jasper is watching.

"No…" He feels impotent, and wishes that he could do something, anything, to help the woman he loves.

There is a call, and never taking his eyes of the strings of characters that represent Alice, he answers.

"Operator."

"Yeah, I need an exit—fast!"

"James?"

"Yeah." James wonders how to explain managing to escape Agent Felix and Demetri's clutches. "There was an accident—a goddamn car accident. All of a sudden—boom! Somebody up there still likes me."

"Gotcha." Jasper finds him on his screen.

"Get me out of here fast," James yells as he continues to run.

Jasper's eyes flick over the screen, looking for the nearest exit. "Intersection of Franklin and Erie—an old TV repair shop."

"Right." James hangs up on his cell.

~X~

Elsewhere, the others are walking down the street at a brisk pace, having lost the police.

Edward pulls out his phone and dials. "Jasper, it's me."

Bella trots alongside him like a puppy at its master's heels. "Is Alice alive?"

Edward repeats Bella's question.

"Yeah. They're moving her—I don't know where to yet."

Edward turns to Bella. "She's alive." His attention returns to the cell in his hand. "We need an exit."

"You're not far from James," Jasper informs them as his eyes scan the screen.

"James?" Edward asks. He thought that James was gone for good after he hesitated.

"Yeah, I know." Jasper understands exactly what Edward means. "He's at Franklin and Erie."

"Got it." He puts away his cell and lets the others know where they are headed.

~X~

"Got him." Jasper shouts across to Emmett, who presses the button onscreen to bring James back to the real world.

James' eyes open, and he gasps at the familiar sensation of the plug being removed. His eyes move from left to right, surveying the scene.

Once he gets to his feet, he joins Jasper in front of the screens. "Where are they?"

Looking at the symbols, he can see that they're almost at the exit—James has to act fast.

"Making the call." Distractedly, Jasper answers while he concentrates on getting everything ready to get the others out.

"Good." James pats him on the shoulder and then steps away.
