"What do you remember?" Trinity asked gently.

"I'm in a cave of some sort, surrounded by candles. You're there, with me. And." Neo trails off, blushing.

"And? Oh." Trinity's confusion abated when she remembered the last time they had spent a night in their apartment in Zion. "Well, come on, we'd better get going." Trinity stood and held out a hand to help Neo up before walking over to her bike and starting it.

Soon after, Neo and Trinity arrived at the station and together, lifted the bike up. Riding up the stairs was slightly more difficult, considering gravity. Trinity had to slow down in order to keep Neo on the bike. As they came out of the station, Trinity stopped to call Link.

"Link, where am I in accordance to our destination?" Trinity asked into the phone.

Neo could just barely hear the voice on the other end of the line saying, "Ride north one block, and then turn left on 47th street."

"Got it." Trinity shut the phone off and rode off.

Arriving shortly at the specified address, Trinity let Neo off before parking in an alley across the street. Running back to meet Neo, he followed her to the front steps. Upon seeing the doors, Neo assumed they would be locked- especially on a building like this. But Trinity walked calmly up to them and pulled it open; as if this was something she did often. Striding towards the elevator, Trinity glanced to her left and right before pressing the "Up" button. Neo arrived at the doors a moment later and waited silently for the doors to open.

Neo heard the elevator land before the doors opened. Walking in after Trinity, he turned to see her press 47 before watching the doors close. They rode in silence; the only sound Neo heard was his heart thundering in his ears. ~Can she hear this? I bet she can, it seems so loud. ~ The elevator slowed to a stop, and the doors opened, revealing another Chinese man dressed in white and wearing glasses. Exiting the elevator, the man bowed before them in greeting.

"Hello. My name is Seraph. Trinity, you needed my assistance I believe?" Seraph asked, turning his eyes on her.

"Yes. Do you have the key to the Source?"

"I have a key to the room where the Source's door is. Not the key to the source. Neo has that." Seraph nodded in Neo's direction.

Trinity turned towards Neo.

"He's not wearing the same clothes that he did when he last entered."

"That is irrelevant. He had the key then, he has the key now." Seraph reproved gently.

"Neo, search all your pockets for a key." Trinity asked.

Neo stuck his hands in his shirt pockets, his jacket pockets his back pockets and finally, in his left front pocket, he pulled out a key.

"This it?" He asked, looking at Seraph.

"Yes. Come. Follow me." Seraph took the key and handed it to Trinity before turning and walking down the hall.

Neo looked to Trinity for any explanation, but she just continued looking ahead. Seraph turned right at a nameless door. Sticking a key in, he opened the door to a white hall, seemingly endless, with hundreds of doors on either side.

"Holy shit." Neo blinked, trying to take this in. This was not a hall from the building they were just in- that much was for sure. "Where are we?"

"Back doors to the Matrix." Seraph answered simply. Neo followed Seraph to a left turn in the hall and not 100 feet away, a door stood at the end of the hall. Seraph stopped as they got to it and opened it with another key. Walking into the room, Trinity turned around only to find Neo no longer in sight.

"Where is he?" Trinity asked, anger boiling beneath her skin.

"In the Source, waiting for you." Seraph answered before retreating back out the door.

Trinity turned to face the door that apparently led to the Source. Walking quickly to it, she shoved the key into the lock and turned. As the door swung open, Trinity saw Neo kneeling on the floor of a completely white room with no windows or exits save for the one she was in. Trinity took a step in, a little unsure.

"Neo?" His head whipped up. Standing, Neo ran towards Trinity, who also ran to meet him.

Embracing each other tightly, Neo breathed in the Matrix scent of the woman he loved. Pulling back to look into his eyes, Trinity felt herself being drawn in closer. Neo leaned down to capture Trinity's lips in a kiss. Trinity felt two differences in the kiss- one was that it wasn't exactly the same as when they were in the real world, and the other was that this one wasn't as unsure as the one Neo had given to her back in the subway. Sliding her lips against his, Trinity wrapped an arm around his neck, deepening the kiss. Neo slowly ended the kiss, pulling away so he could speak.

"What took you so long?" Neo asked sarcastically.

"Does it matter?" Trinity shot back, ignoring the sarcasm.

"Well, no not really."

"Okay then. Let's get you out of here." Trinity said, stopping Neo from commenting further as she turned and walked out.

Followed closely by Neo, Trinity left the Source and then re-entered the white hallway. Neo walked past a few doors before opening one to their left. Walking through it, Neo paused to allow Trinity to call Link for an exit. Trinity shut off the phone and looked at Neo's brown eyes through her own glasses.

"A closed furniture store down the street."

Neo nodded and opened the door that led to a stairwell to the bottom floor of the building they were in.
