"We've arrived." Grace called out over the intercom to everyone on the
ship. Everyone rushed into the core. Neo, arriving last, was allowed to sit
in a chair to rest his body.
"Good. Trinity, Neo if you can make it, Niobe, and I will go get the supplies." Morpheus concluded.
"Bring us up." Niobe commanded, walking towards the back of the ship- the docking area.
About half and hour later, Link told them they would be landing in a few minutes outside some sort of building complex. Niobe handed everyone a pack of gear and flashlights while they waited. Neo handed Trinity his flashlight back, the pack was enough weight already. The ship rocked slightly before settling and Niobe strode over to the controls and opened the bay door. Neo and Trinity followed Niobe and Morpheus closely.
Upon reaching the complex, Neo moved forward to punch in the codes that allowed them to get their supplies. A huge bay door opened, revealing two large ships next to each other. Morpheus and Niobe went onto each and switched them on, sending in codes for them to be remote controlled by the Logos. The other supplies Neo had created were found equally split on each ship. Morpheus and Niobe followed Neo and Trinity back to the Logos to leave. The new ships would follow via Grace's guiding remote. She would give the new ships the same coordinates as the Logos before taking off. This way, when they left to go back underground to where they were originally, the other ships would follow them.
Back onboard; everyone was in a hurry to leave. The fact that there were absolutely no sentinels anywhere unnerved everyone. Neo again sat in a plug- in chair while they took off. Trinity went over to him and kissed his jaw gently, allowing her hand to slid down along his side. Nuzzling his neck with her face, Trinity kissed him once more before pulling away.
"Ghost! Nice to see you awake!" Link called out loudly, purposefully to gain Neo and Trinity's attention.
Trinity turned around to see Ghost leaning on the doorframe, looking even worse than Neo. His face was one big bruise, one eye closed, another almost completely shut, splits and cuts all over it, Neo had beaten him to a pulp.
"Yeah, I get that a lot." Ghost drawled.
"You do?" Link asked, incredulous.
"Not really." He replied flatly.
A hush came over the group as he moved towards Trinity and Neo. He stopped just short of Neo as Trinity moved away slightly.
"Hey man. I know we both look like shit. You seem better than me, and I can't say I didn't deserve it without lying. I did. I'm sorry man. I just love her, I can't help it. But now I know it's unrequited. I'll deal." Ghost stuck out his hand. Neo eyed it suspiciously before taking it and shaking it without much strength. Ghost smiled, or at least to Trinity it looked like a smile.
"I'm sorry Trinity."
Trinity didn't respond. Instead she nodded, expressing her higher rank by sending him away with a mere look. Sometimes it was good to be a second-in- command around men.
~~*~~
Three months later.
"Well, I'll just take these bandages off now. Your face has healed, although you've got a light scar above your eye now. Wonderful trophy, isn't it?" Wish rambled as she cut the dressing on Neo's abdomen. "Does Trinity know this is coming off?"
"No. I wanted to surprise her."
"Why's that?" Wish asked, cutting the last of the dressings.
"Revenge. Sweet and pure. She has driven me mad with all her- I'll stop." Neo blushed at how he almost spoke of all the particularly cruel things Trinity had done while he was incapacitated.
"Well, last time I checked, she was in her room. And being the great friend I am, I made sure you two both got off of sentry duty tonight."
Neo stared at Wish before smiling.
"Thank you."
"Bah. We need love on this ship; it keeps up alive and hopeful. Go. Seduce her, torment her, I don't care, just love her." Wish pushed Neo out of the med lab, laughing. They certainly were going to be tired in the morning. Wish decided to pay Link a visit to keep him from intruding the next morning.
~~*~~
Trinity was sitting in her room, reading one of the few books they had onboard when a soft knock came on her door.
"Just a second." She called out, placing the book on the shelf before going to the door. Before she had time to process what was happening, Trinity was pushed into the room, Neo's lips devouring hers. Trinity broke the kiss to move around and close the door. The past few weeks Neo and she had been discovering new ways of passion with just your lips and standing. But tonight, she knew, something was amiss. Something was different, and she had no idea what.
"Neo, what-" her question cut short by his rough kiss, Trinity could do nothing but succumb to his passionate embrace. Neo pushed her into the wall and slowly lowered his lips down her neck. Trinity wrapped her hands around him as she captured his lips with her own. Moaning as Trinity bit down on his bottom lip and pulled on it, Neo slid his hands under her shirt. Sliding a hand up her back caused shivers to run up Trinity's spine. Neo moved back to pull his shirt off, revealing his lack of bandages. Trinity saw this and her eyes flicked to his.
"Y-you're healed?"
Neo nodded. Trinity's hands slid up his back and chest before he pulled her down to the bed. Trinity twisted around until Neo was on top before he stopped short to sit up and take off both his and her shoes and upon lying back down he slide off Trinity's shirt and pants. He trailed his kisses down her neck, down her sternum, down to her navel and then slowly back up while Trinity waited impatiently for his lips to return to hers before kissing him hard and rough.
Soft moans mingled with hoarse gasps as Neo lost himself in Trinity. His lips traveled to a hundred places, but always came back to her lips to be met fiercely for making her wait. Trinity had long awaited Neo's return, but had forgotten how much she wanted him. The need for him to become a part of her overcame both of them. Gripping Neo tightly, Trinity called out his name huskily as the fire burning deep inside of her crashed down around them. Neo's rocking movements slowed down before he collapsed on top of her, breathing into her neck. Leading a slow trail of kisses up her neck to her lips, Neo kissed her once more before sliding off to her side and wrapping his body around hers.
Trinity sighed, content and exhausted while Neo slid his hand up and down her arm, causing goose bumps to rise on her skin. Smiling, Neo placed butterfly-soft kisses on her shoulder blades and the bottom of her neck.
"You're so beautiful." Neo murmured.
"So are you." Trinity twisted around to face him, pressing her forehead against his in the process.
"How? I'm a guy, men aren't supposed to be beautiful." Neo asked with a mock indignant tone.
"Your human. Sometimes you're more human than the rest of us. You're emotions, your knowledge, and even your flaws make you so very human. And if that isn't beautiful, then I don't know what is." Trinity cupped Neo's slightly damp cheek.
"Me neither. You know Trinity, we're going to win this war, and you know why?"
Trinity smiled, and shook her head.
"Machines don't feel, don't make mistakes. They only do what they are programmed to do. We feel, we adapt, we change, we evolve. We always have. We also have those wonderful things called flaws. They make us imperfect. And that is what we have that the machines don't that'll win this war. We aren't perfect, we never will be, but imperfection is so much more wholesome than perfection because you still have something to strive for. That hope, that drive, will win. Well, that and love." Neo smiled warmly at her before kissing her. Trinity hungrily kissed him back. When the kiss ended, Trinity commented,
"Yes, love. A human emotion that is our strongest and our weakest point. Something no machine could ever comprehend. Something that cannot be replicated, fabricated, or figured out. It's just a feeling. A feeling that blinds us to everything except what we want and need. A feeling that is unexplainable. A feeling, only felt."
