I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
Soundtrack to "Charmed"
"How did you know it will work" - Morpheus asked from Devil, when the amusement from Neo waking up went down. The crew of the Nebuchadnezzar and Niobe were sitting in the one of "Hammer" cabins. Neo just finished telling everyone his story but no one actually wanted to discuss it. So Morpheus tried to change the subject a little bit.
"Just guessed." - Devil replied. She wasn't going to tell anyone how scared she really was. Although she was sure Neo would return to Trinity no matter what, she couldn't tell that to Trinity. Just one attempt was allowed - that was clear to her. And that meant, that everything had to be real. So she actually was ready to die, when she was saying "goodbye" to Neo. And she knew that so was Trinity. But others didn't have to know.
"And what will happen to Zion now?" - Link asked turning to Neo. "What will happen to Zee? - His gaze asked. - You saved Trinity, but did you sacrifice Zee for this?"
"I don't know. - Neo answered helplessly. - Sentinels are still on their way there. And we still have to find the way to stop them."
"We have only seven hours left. - Niobe informed. - You'd better have a plan, Neo." "But I don't. - Neo admitted. - Morpheus?"
Morpheus shook his head hopelessly. Link's gaze hardened. He didn't hate Neo for his decision yet, but he was awfully close to it. And not only he.
Trinity looked at Neo, " You didn't have to do this for me. If I had to die, so that Zion could live. Then you had to let me die."
For moment there was silence in the room. Neo didn't know what to say. How could he explain that he didn't think then? The Architect was wrong - he had no choice, because only one door existed for him. But how could he tell this?
Then Devil jumped up from her chair. That was the first time Devil confronted her best friend, and it was hard enough for her. " Don't you understand? - she looked at Trinity with amazement.- He didn't choose between you and Zion. He chose what he believed in. And he believes in you. He believes in love, hope, trust. We all believe in this. Otherwise we wouldn't be here. - Devil looked into everyone's eyes. - Don't you see? That's what makes us humans. We listen to our heart, not to our mind. Do you really want to start it all over again? Or will you rather fight for what you believe in?"
Devil sat down, her cheeks blushing. Morpheus smiled weakly, " You are right. I've waited for that moment to come all my life. And when it finally came, I couldn't recognize it. I'm ready to fight." "Me too. I'm becoming their slave again." - Niobe said looking at Neo.
"Will you guys need the operator in your team?" - Link asked, trying to sound cheerful.
Trinity just found Neo's hand and took into hers. But that was everything he needed to understand, what she wanted to say to him.
" But I still don't have the slightest idea of what to do. - Neo admitted. - I'm the One only in the Matrix, and Sentinels exist in the real world."
"Remember what Architect offered you? - Devil asked. - What would happen if you joined the Source?"
" The Matrix would be restarted. - Neo began uncertainly. - I'd be able to choose people to rebuild Zion. And then another One would. Wait a minute! He said that I'd be able to save Zion citizens. That means that he was going to stop the Sentinels! Yes, that's it. If he can do this."
"Then you can do this also!" - Morpheus continued excitedly.
"So, where will we start from?" - Niobe asked standing up.
"I think the building I met him. Then I'll try to identify its code. - Neo said. - But there is no "we". I'm going alone."
"No, you're not. - Trinity stated, standing up also and heading towards a door. - Do you really think your suicide will help Zion?"
Morpheus had to try very hard not to smile. He recognized familial steel notes in Trinity's voice and knew that Neo had already lost this fight. It looked that Neo understood that too, as he sighed heavily and nodded, " Fine. But you all follow my orders."
"OK." - Devil agreed getting up.
Morpheus was about to declare " You are not coming." to her, but looked at her face expression and changed his mind. Devil must have seen the change of his face expression, as she smiled to him before walking out of the room.
"You know, I really didn't have a choice." - Neo whispered to Trinity, while they were walking into a Core.
Trinity nodded, - "It's not like I had it either. When I broke the promise I gave to you. Will you forgive me?"
"Mmm. Let's think. - Neo smiled. - Yeah, I guess I already did."
Niobe, who was walking just behind them, smiled listening to their conversation. Her past wasn't coming back. She knew that perfectly well. But these two had all their lives ahead. Niobe couldn't tell if she felt more jealous or happy for them. "What we believe in, - she thought. - I used to believe in many things."
"Some things never change" - Morpheus whispered to her, as if reading her mind.
