Destiny's Journey: Two Are One and Fighting For Tomorrow
Desperate for changing, Starving for truth, I'm closer to where I started, Chasing after you.
"Neo.Neo.so simple a word- a name - yet it sounds like expensive wine being poured into a crystal glass when it rolls off the tip of my tongue as I imagine the man that goes with that word standing right here, right in the middle of this bland metal box I call my room," mused a dreary Trinity. "Did I honestly just say that out loud?" She pulled herself up from her cot in an effort to shake the thoughts from her mind with her quick movements- it didn't work. She just couldn't help thinking about him. Inside of her active mind was a euphoria of a perfect, imaginative life, and he just had to be a part of it.
"Damn fate.why do I know what's supposed to happen, but I don't know how to put words into action? This stuff is supposed to be easy for me." Out of frustration, she picked up the nearest object to her dormant hand and threw it hard at the metal door, and just as her left boot made contact with hollow metal, a creeaakk noise echoed throughout the room. Tank, uncertain if the right boot was aimed at his head, hesitantly poked his head through the small opening.
"Sorry to bother you Trin, I know it's been a long night, but Morpheus needs to see you in the med bay.i-it's about Neo."
Trinity could tell by looking at Tank's confused expression that the look on her face was quite blank.
"I'll-I'll be just.just a moment Tank, thank you," she forced herself a shaky reply, and with that, she prodded over to the door, picked up her left boot and pulled it on the match the other foot. "Focus Trinity," was the last thought as she took a deep breath and shut the door quietly behind her.
"I just don't understand it. I don't see it to be possible, yet here he is living and breathing like nothing ever happened." Morpheus' brows furrowed as he leaned down with his elbows on his knees and his hands folded against his forehead deep in thought. Neo lay asleep on one of the metal examining tables. Morpheus had sent Tank to rest after he had sent message to Trinity that Morpheus needed her in the med bay. He had been injured quite seriously as well, and Morpheus could see that he was struggling to keep his eyes open as he tended to Neo.
As for Neo, he had collapsed after his 'resurrection', as Morpheus called it, and had been carried in a heap to the med bay where he remained unconscious for the following hours. After seeing Neo laid quite uncomfortably on the cold, metal table, Trinity had disappeared to her room without Morpheus or Tank noticing her absence until now. They hadn't even thought about her having anything to do with the events of the night, yet as the hours drifted by and Morpheus had time to replay everything in his mind, he couldn't help but wonder if his second in command was responsible for Neo's continuing heartbeat.
"What is it Morpheus," came Trinity's tired voice, shaking Morpheus from his reverie.
"Trinity, please sit down. I just needed to ask you about what happened earlier."
Feeling a bit uncomfortable with sitting this close to Neo in the state that he was in, Trinity tried not to glance at his face and the look of pain that radiated from it. Once settled in her chair, she waited for Morpheus to continue.
"I'm curious as to why he is still alive, or furthermore, came back from the dead. I've thought through every possible scenario, and nothing seems possible except that he is the One and it was meant to be. If that is so, then I still don't understand how he died in the first place."
A single tear made its way down Trinity's cheek, a true shock to Morpheus. He had never seen Trinity- the fighter, the heart of steel; the emotionless leader- shed a single tear. He didn't know what to say that wouldn't upset her for whatever reason she cried in the first place, so he awaited any sign- an explanation or for her to get up and race out of the room- his first prediction. To his amazement, though, she did not budge from the chair; instead, she looked up, took a deep breath, and started to speak, softly so that only Morpheus could barely hear-
"Morpheus, you took me to the Oracle. It was a few days after you unplugged me. It was so long ago, and I was so lost.I didn't know what you would say if I told you.I was scared out of my mind, so I've kept what she told me all to myself for five years. I never believed it, but it happened and I don't know what I should do."
"Trinity, it's alright to tell me, I would never be angry with you." Morpheus tried to sound convincing as if he were speaking to a five year old crying over spilt milk.
"She told me that I would fall in love with the One, and that without each other, neither of us would be able to survive. She told me that our lives would depend on the other, and that just as he would be the savior in the eyes of all humanity, I would be the savior in his eyes. I didn't believe it, honest to God, I didn't think I needed anyone, didn't think I could trust a man, but just a month ago you sent me to him, and in that club, Morpheus, I just knew. Ever since that night, he is all that I've been able to think about, and tonight, God tonight, I poured my heart out to him after he died. I told him what the Oracle had said to me and that everything except this had happened. I told him that he couldn't die.because I love him, and after that he gasped for air and beat the agents' asses. Just as Tank hit the EMP, I unplugged him, and as the sentinels crashed all around us he opened his eyes and kissed me, Morpheus, he kissed me because he had heard everything I told him. I helped him out of the chair, and he just collapsed into my arms. That's when you and Tank came in, and after that I just couldn't take it, it was all too much."
Morpheus was awestruck, and his eyes showed it- they were wide with amazement. "Trinity, I don't know what to say other than.thank you. You saved Neo, and together both of you will save us all. I am sure of it now. You two need each other to live, and you fight for each other. Please don't be afraid, this was meant to be. He needs you right now- don't be afraid to be with him, to tell him your feelings because without you, there is no One, whether it be you, Neo, or the conjoined souls of two fighting for tomorrow.
