The Matrix: Reverberations
Disclaimer: I did not create the Matrix. However. It is a
marvelous place to visit! See the monumental skyscrapers!
See the majestic Agents...
(an Agent once bit my sister. It's true. She was carving
her initials in the side of the Agent with...)
(we apologize for the fault in the disclaimer and would
like to notify the reader that those responsible have been
sacked.)
(mind you Agent bites can be very painful...)
Pairings (This chapter: brief Neo/Trinity)(future chapter:
brief Johnson/Smith)(overall: Neo/Smith)
Summary: Neo and the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar learn that
Agent Smith is going to have a baby.

-Part 4-
Trinity stopped and folded her arms across her front.
"Trinity," Neo asked, trying to be calm her down. "Do you really believe I would cheat on you?"
"It doesn't matter what I think, does it?" Trinity pointed out. "I doesn't matter what I think or feel. I think you've made that perfectly clear."
"So it's over, is that what you're telling me?" Neo asked, sounding rather annoyed. He didn't need this. Things were bad enough with Morpheus piling all the world's problems on his shoulders. He didn't need any new personal problems.
"No," Trinity shook her head. "That's what you're telling me. I can't love you if you can't respect me. If you'd rather be with that... that... *program*... then you can be my guest!"
Trinity turned and walked away, closing her heart to Neo for the last time. She would still help him to free the others, would still fight against the machines. But her heart no longer belonged to Neo.
Neo knew she was holding back tears, and that he should go after her and reassure her, but he really didn't feel like it at the moment. If she was going to accuse him, she could just keep walking.
He knew the news of their breakup and rumors about what they'd split up would soon be travelling around Zion, but he didn't care about that either.

Agent Johnson had been given orders to eliminate ex-Agent Smith, and after an extensive search, he had finally located him. He was about to carry out those orders when he noticed the new program growing within Smith.
Some instinct for survival encoded into all Agents overrode the prder he'd been given. He could not kill Smith, not if the older Agent were carrying what the humans would call a baby.
Smith reached out to transform Johnson into himself, but before he could begin, Johnson clasped his hands around Smith's .
"Let's get you somewhere safe," Johnson told Smith. "My place isn't too far from here. It's not much, but you can at least raise the baby in comfort."
Smith frowned. He wasn't sure he should trust Johnson, but that wasn't his biggest problem. He was cut off from the Matrix, and as such he had no way to feed the baby once it was born.
"Where will my baby get it's nourishment?" he asked Johnson. "They won't be able to get sustenance from the Matrix, not without risking my life and that of the child."
Johnson took Smith's face in his hands, unable to resist the sudden urge to kiss the older Agent. It lasted only a moment, but it left an impression on Johnson's program that would last the rest of his life.
"I will help you find a way," he promised.
(tbc...) (A/N: Smith and Johnson will be an item for a short time, but ultimately Neo and Smith will be brought together as a couple.)
