"I just don't think this is a good idea, Morpheus." Niobe's voice cut
through the silence as Neo neared the core.
"I believe we should leave that up to him." Came the softer reply.
"What isn't a good idea?" Neo asked, letting his presence become known.
"Neo, good morning, I trust you slept well?" Morpheus asked, his face warm with kindness.
Neo smiled slightly, knowing Link had told Morpheus what he'd seen.
"Yes, I did. Thank you. So what's this idea?"
"Morpheus wants you to try what you did to those Sentinels again." Niobe answered flatly.
"And why don't you think it's a good idea?" Neo turned to her.
"Because when you did that, you went into a coma for two weeks." Trinity's reply came from behind him. "There's something you apparently figured out when you did that, and you learned more about it in your coma, and Morpheus has some sort of half-cocked idea about stopping them."
"It's not half-cocked, Trinity." Morpheus replied with a sigh. "Neo, you know what you did, do you not?"
Trinity looked at him with a questioning face- he had not told her this.
"Yes, I do know." Neo answered, looking into Trinity's eyes. He turned away from her and looked back at Morpheus. "Instead of me trying to stop them, I have a better idea. Just give me Link and Grace, two yards of cables, tools, an energy cell, and half a day."
"What do you expect to do with all of that?" Niobe asked.
"With some elbow grease, and a little luck, a force field for the EMP where we won't have to turn the ship off to turn it on. It'll always be on. That way, when we enter the Matrix, we won't have any worries. Any Sentinel or program sent by the machines will be disabled in that force field." Neo explained.
"That's a little far fetched if you don't mind my skepticism." Niobe responded.
"I don't. But then again, if it doesn't work, you can't blame me for trying." Neo answered.
"All right. Well start in one hour. Until then," Morpheus' glance traveled from Neo to Trinity and back again. "Keep yourselves busy."
Neo nodded and left, with Trinity following him to their quarters.
Once safely inside, and away from prying ears, Trinity turned from the door and asked gently, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I didn't know what I had learned either. Not until yesterday did I figure out what I knew. I went and told Morpheus, who said he'd talk with Niobe. When I came back here, you were asleep." Neo answered guiltily. She always did that; she could always make him feel bad about something he did.
Trinity nodded, the stoic façade beginning to build up on her face. Neo crossed the two feet between them and kissed her fiercely, determined to keep her from blocking out her emotions. A quiet whimper of protest escaped her mouth before the all-encompassing need to kiss Neo overtook her. As everything else vanished from their minds, Trinity pushed Neo against the back wall, allowing him to explore her with his lips. Trinity felt a fire burning where Neo's lips trailed down her throat. Neo moved his mouth back over hers as Trinity slid her hands under his shirt.
As they fell, however ungracefully, to the bed, Neo couldn't help but sigh at the burning sensation her hands created wherever she touched him. Trinity pulled off Neo's shirt and lowered her lips to his chest. As she moved upwards, she paused to suck on the side of his throat- causing Neo to emit a soft moan. Neo pulled off Trinity's shirt and slid his hands from her sides to her back, gripping her tightly. As their lips met again and again, Neo lost track of time, allowing his own body to fuse with hers.
"Your lips are swollen." Neo commented, trailing his fingers along Trinity's jaw line.
"Yeah, I get that a lot from you." Trinity smiled, pressing her forehead against Neo's.
Neo closed his eyes, letting the past hour, day, year, however long they had just spent together, be relived in his mind.
"What are you thinking about?" Trinity inquired gently.
"The fires you create under my skin when you touch me." Neo responded.
Trinity pressed her hand over his heart- where hers had slowed down, his sped up as she placed her hand over it.
"Like this?" Trinity asked softly, sliding her hand down his chest and then back up again.
Neo nodded, his eyes still closed. Trinity slid her hand around his back and kissed him softly. Neo responded immediately, his arms enveloping her in his embrace. Trinity sighed as his lips traveled down her neck but couldn't help but crave for a more personal connection. Helping Neo to be more firmly on top of her, Trinity quickly forgot where she ended and he began as he slid inside of her.
Once again, the screech of the door called their attention away from the matters at hand. Trinity pulled up the blanket to cover both of them fully, as Neo slid off to her side.
"Neo, hey, it's- God, I'm so sorry, why does this happen to me?" Link asked as his face flushed.
He turned away to stare into the hall and continued his reason for being at their door. "Morpheus says that if you want to try this new thing of yours, you better get out there now- you're already 15 minutes late."
"Oh shit." Neo mumbled. "Thanks Link. I'll be out there as fast as I can."
"Yup. Oh and Neo? Try not to get sidetracked on your way." Link added, smiling as he closed the door.
"I believe we should leave that up to him." Came the softer reply.
"What isn't a good idea?" Neo asked, letting his presence become known.
"Neo, good morning, I trust you slept well?" Morpheus asked, his face warm with kindness.
