Eleven Days Later.
"I never thought I'd be so happy to leave." Trinity commented to Morpheus.
"I know these last few days have been hard, but I expected them to be. We couldn't go into Zion and just not tell them that we have found the One."
"Yeah well, I'm just glad you didn't allow them to test him." Trinity shot at him.
Morpheus sighed, true, running and hiding from the very people he was fighting for was not easy, nor fair.
"It was the councilors' choice, not mine. Only Neo could stop them, which he did. Just remember, after all these years, the One was believed to be a hoax and they wanted proof. I think Neo gave them enough by telling them that he died, came back to life and proceeded to 'delete' an agent. It was amazing to see their mouths drop open and instantly honor his presence." Morpheus smiled at the memory.
"Hey, I think we're all set here. Tank's on, as is Trish, Devlan, and Strife. Gotta say, the newbies aren't so bad." Neo reported.
Trinity smiled a knowing smile. As she walked by him, purposely allowing their hands to brush against each other gently, she commented, "Just wait a week."
Over the speaker, Tank announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your operator speaking, strap in and shut up, we're leaving paradise!"
Neo laughed as he went into the core, seeing Trish, Devlan, and Strife all jump into the jack-in seats, thinking they were already going into the Matrix. Trinity patted Tank's shoulder, and quickly took command when she noticed that Morpheus had not followed Neo.
"Hey, newbies, this is Tank. He's a joker. Learn to figure out when he's not being serious. Now get out of your seats, we've got work to do."
Trinity turned, and almost walked straight into Neo.
Under her breath, so only he could hear her, "Do both of us a favor and act like I'm your superior and you're just another crew member, so they learn respect and authority."
"Yes ma'am. But I have a question." Trinity motioned him to ask while they walked down the halls, "When we're not around anyone else, who's the superior?"
Trinity stopped dead in her tracks, and turned slowly around.
"Neo, not here. These guys don't know a leader from a coppertop. I need you to be serious because, this is where it gets serious. We leave Zion, everything in this ship is serious, and you know that. Our choices are now to be taken seriously."
"Say serious one more time, I think you may have a chance at beating your all time high of saying my name during.Ow!" Neo recoiled from Trinity's punch to his arm.
"Take-shit. They're still in the core. Look, go back and get the newbies. We need them down in the medical ward." Trinity turned and quickly walked down the hall, adding over her shoulder, "Besides, how would you know how many times I say your name if you're supposed to be paying attention to other things?"
Neo could do nothing but stare at her retreating back.
"I never thought I'd be so happy to leave." Trinity commented to Morpheus.
