Metallica "Nothing else matters"
Morpheus turned to the girl, who was sitting in the armchair looking strangely childish and careless. When she saw everyone was looking at her, she almost jumped out of armchair and headed towards Morpheus.
"Decision is yours. - Said Morpheus, offering her two pills, - you can take only one of them. Take the blue pill - and you won't even remember any of us, you won't even dream about us. And I promise that the agents will forget about you ether. Take the red pill and you will never be able to return to your past life. I'll show you the truth, the real world. But I'll take your world instead." Girl hesitated for a moment, then smiled: " How did you call me? Devil? Let it be the red one then. For the fires of Hell."
As she took the pill and swallowed it, Neo could swear there were fires of Hell in her own eyes. But then again it could all be his imagination. Morpheus interrupted his thoughts: "Let's get to work, then. We don't have much time." Right, Link was probably already searching for her body right now.
While they were switching the unplugging equipment on Trinity asked: "So? How are we supposed to call you now?"
"Devil. - Was the answer. - That's who you think I'm."
"Devil? Shouldn't you have the tail then?" - Neo decided to take part in the conversation. Devil smiled mischievously: " You see, I have had a fight with Morpheus. He had won and decided to keep my tail as a trophy." All four laughed at that, and looking at Trinity Neo once more decided that they were right unplugging this girl. She made Trinity smile almost as often as he did. Maybe he was supposed to feel jealous, but he felt thankful instead.
It took Devil four days to recover and regain her conscious completely. On the fifth day morning she walked into the mess hall during the breakfast. Trinity had noticed her first: "Hey, you're not allowed to get up yet. " "Am I not allowed to eat also?" - was the only response, as Devil took her plate with the slop at sat down. "Aren't you going to ask where you are?" - Link sounded very surprised. "Aren't you going to tell me?"- Devil sounded surprised too, but Neo was sure she only mimicked Link. "Of course we are. - Morpheus answered instead of the Link, - Just after you finish your breakfast."
Neo was a little bit amazed by how easy Devil accepted the truth. "Aren't you doubting? " - he asked her, after her first time in the Construct, where Morpheus gave her his traditional historical lecture. "Doubting? - she asked back, - No. There are only two possibilities: this is true or this is lie. If this is lie, then I'm having hallucinations or you had set it all up. I do not have hallucinations and I do trust you. What means all this is true. Case closed, no questions asked." Neo laughed: "Now I see how you convinced Morpheus. It's hard to deny your logic." " You don't need to deny my logic" - was the answer. Now the whole crew was laughing.
Having Devil on the ship was a lot like having Mouse back. She looked so much innocent and sometimes asked really childish questions with serious face and vice versa. She had unique talent to be everywhere she was needed exactly when she was needed and to disappear when she was disturbing others. Also, to Morpheus' surprise, Devil became close friends with Trinity. Actually she became friends with everyone on board, but especially with Trinity, what surprised Morpheus as Trinity never was one to trust people easily. He tried to ask Neo about it but didn't get the answer, because Neo himself was confused. Despite this both were glad for Trinity and didn't even think about ruining this friendship. Although Morpheus was awfully close to it for one moment.
He walked into the Core to check if everything was alright and saw Trinity unplugging Devil. Some disks lied on the table near them.
"Well, well, - Morpheus said examining the disks. - Kung fu, motorcycle. How long are you doing this already?"
"It's the third time, - Devil answered immediately. -Is something wrong?"
"Wrong? - Morpheus asked ironically, -You are not supposed to do this."
"You did load all this information to Neo." - Trinity said coldly.
"Neo was different thing," - Morpheus answered.
In that exact minute Neo walked into the room,: "Why was I? Because you believed me to be the One? I wasn't him then, and you know it perfectly well."
Morpheus was about to answer sharply and to show who actually was in charge on this ship, when Devil told silently, "It's OK Neo. You don't have to confront him because of me. I don't want you two to get into trouble." She headed towards the door but was stopped by Morpheus' voice:" Is she good?" "Very."- was the immediate answer. Morpheus sighed heavily:" Fine. If you already started this. But not more than hour in the day, and you are not going into the Matrix. Is that clear?"
"Yes"- three of them said in unison. "Thanks"- almost whispered Devil.
That's when it started. Everyday trainings became tradition and Morpheus had to admit Devil was really good. Probably the best after Neo, Trinity and himself. She made her jump on the fifth time, when he himself made it on forth. Devil also was learning to read the Matrix code and Link confessed to Morpheus once, that he was almost afraid her to take his place as an operator. "It took me half an year to learn what she learned in two weeks," - he said once, not knowing how to sound: proud for his student or terrified.
"Anyway, - decided Morpheus, - having Devil on the ship is anything but boring. It's like. having a devil on the ship."
And nothing else matters.
