Home Sweet Home

Jonathon grabbed his backpack and closed the car door. He walked up a couple stairs and entered the apartment building. Jonathon and his family didn't really live in a good part of the city. It was trashy and graffiti was everywhere. There were broken cars in the streets, and old abandon lots. The whole street was just tall apartment buildings. It wasn't a good place, but it was home. Jonathon walked slowly into the elevator and to his floor. He walked to his room and there was graffiti there too. He shook his head and opened the door. There he could smell fresh baked cookies, baked of course by his so called 'mother.' He laid his backpack on the floor, and went into the kitchen. Where the old woman turned and smiled at him. The Oracle was Jonathon's assigned mother.

"Hello, Jonathon." The Oracle said.

"Hey, mom." He replied in a quiet voice.

"Something the matter?"

"Can I have a cookie?"

Jonathon reached over the Oracle and snatched a cookie.

"How was ride home?" She asked.

"The Agents are too quiet."

"They are simple programs."

"Where are Adam and Matt?"

"They'll be home soon."

Jonathon went to his room still eating his cookie. He jumped onto a chair, and spun to his computer. He turned it on, to his e-mail. He saw that Thomas was online.

Hey Tommy Jonathon wrote.

Where were u 2day? Replied Thomas.

Nowhere

Jonathon and his 'brothers' all went to the same high school that was pretty close. The school was really that good either. The teachers weren't interested in teaching, and it was dirty as well. But Thomas went to another school. Jonathon had met Thomas online, and they met a couple times at a bridge by the river. Thomas appeared to be about two years older than Jonathon. Although Jonathon was really only two, having been created two years ago. Jonathon never liked his school, nor the kids in it. They were all too inferior, and they seem to have a disgusting smell to Jonathon. That is why Jonathon decided to seclude himself from them. Sometimes he would go around and skip class, it's not like he already knew what the teachers were teaching. He would go with his stolen laptop and hack things for fun. Though Thomas was nice. A Jonathon supposed a friend.

Are they still punishing you for that 'incident?'

They got me counseling

I told you never argue with a teacher

I didn't do anything to him

One day in biology class Jonathon classified humans as viruses. The teacher said otherwise, and Jonathon started to argue. And even threatened the teacher.

"Such weak creatures such as yourself are not meant to survive! Your bodies are so fragile, even with the simplest blade one could make you bleed!" He yelled that day.

Jonathon usually did what the teachers said, but it was getting to be too much. Everyday with the same teachers who didn't care, and he still had to do as they said. He hated it, and he had had enough.

Hey I got a new program. . . Wanna test it out Thomas wrote.

Not 2day. Im not havin a good on

Your lost

Then he heard the door open, and could hear Matt's voice.

Hey G2G He wrote.

He walked out into the living room to see Adam and Matt.

"Hey guys." He said in a quiet voice.

"Yo, Bro!" Matt said putting his arm around him.

"Hello, John." Adam said in a quiet voice but still louder than Jonathon's.

Mathew Brown was Jonathon's 'little brother' as well Adam Jones. Though Adam was the youngest of the three. Jonathon Smith was created first. They all knew about the project, about them being programs to investigate human emotions. But Matt and Adam didn't seem to really mind as much as Jonathon.

Mathew Brown was the star football player at their school, and very popular. Adam was the school's smartest kid. Mathew was taller than the rest, and more muscular look to him. While Adam looked more scrawny, and smaller. Adam was also a quiet program. And Jonathon was between the two. Like real brothers the trio looked a lot alike. They all had natural brown hair, though Jonathon's was dyed black and green. They all had the same features, all except Jonathon had piercing blue eyes.

"So how was the shirk?" Matt asked laying his backpack on the couch.

"No, tell me about those Agents. What kind of programs are they?" Adam asked.

Typical of the two. Matt was going to tease Jonathon, and Adam was just interested on the Agents and how they worked. That was who they were.

"So?" Matt asked again.

"The doctor was a simple program from the Mainframe with only wanting her purpose to be served. And the Agents were simple as well. Not even speaking to me, and wanting to go do their purpose." Jonathon said quietly.

The Oracle walked in, wiping her hands on a cloth.

"Welcome home, boys."

"Hi, mom." Matt said, and Adam nodded.

"Dinner is gonna be ready soon."

"Great! I'm starved!" Matt said.

Matt went over to the TV, and sat down. Adam smiled at Jonathon.

"Here's your homework." Adam said reaching into is backpack.

"You mean they're still giving me homework?" Jonathon asked.

"We are entering SexEd in biology."

"But the school is making me get out of school for this counseling! And I still have homework! Such illogical humans!"

"They're not all that bad." Adam said.

"Yeah, a lot of them are really cute!" Matt said looking over.

"Only the females are 'cute.' Besides they are disgusting."

"I find them fascinating." Adam said.

"You find everything 'fascinating.'"

"Hey, I think they're fascinating too, especially the female." Matt said.

Jonathon liked his brothers, but they were so different from him. They accepted that they were only an experiment, and went on with their programming. But Jonathon just didn't like that. He just didn't. He sighed at his brothers and shook his head.

"Oh, Jonathon. It can't be that bad." The Oracle yelled from the kitchen.

"But they are so- -" He started.

"Humans may be illogical but one could learn a lot from them."

"Like what?"

"Oh I don't know. Love for example."

"Love. Such a strange emotion they have invented for themselves. Love blinds them of all senses and logic." He complained.

"That is only what you think, Jonathon."

Even his assigned mother was different from him.

"Now come on in, dinner is served." She said.

Matt jumped on the couch, and into the kitchen. He pulled himself a chair. Adam and Jonathon went calmly in. The Oracle cam over with a few plates, and served each of them food.

"I do not see the reason we must eat. We are programs." Jonathon said again.

He was trying to understand what the others thought, and why they were different from him.

"We are eating to explore taste and help this project." She replied.

"Yeah John, it tastes good, and it's good for the Matrix in next version. It's a win-win deal." Matt said.

"So, mom did any rebels come by today?" Adam asked.

"Why do you ask?" She said.

"I wish to find the reason why humans are able to free themselves." He replied.

"I don't get it." Jonathon interrupted. "We are programs yet we help the humans, and we are an experiment meant to help the Matrix, yet you still help them. And the Mainframe knows of you, yet they send no Agents to kill the rebels here."

"Well, everything has a purpose, Jonathon. If it is not meant to be, it is not meant to be." She replied.

Jonathon still didn't understand. But he knew trying to get his mother to explain would be useless.

"Anyway, yes. A young rebel girl came in today. Her name was Trinity. Very interesting future that girl has."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Night had fallen. The three brothers slept in their rooms, and the Oracle sat in her kitchen, smoking a cigarette. Then the phone rang and she picked it up.

"Hello." She said.

"Hello." Replied the Architect. "I believe I have found a new solution to solve our problem."

"I know." She said.

"Oh, yes. Of course you know."

"What will happen to the boys?"

"We will allow the experiment to continue, until this new solution is proven effective."

"So you couldn't do it, could you?"

The Architect sighed over the phone.

"This Matrix is 99% successful." He said.

"But you still can't do it."

"I suppose this doesn't come as a shock to you."

"Not at all."

"Yes. Well, I will keep you informed."
