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.

"I want to experience every sensation that goes along with having your baby," Smith managed to puff out between contractions as he felt the baby's feet pass through his abdominal wall, followed by the umbilical chord.

"It's a boy," Neo announced, proudly, as he handed the newborn child to the former Agent.

Smith gazed at the newborn half-Agent with wonder in his eyes.

"It's amazing how being a parent can alter a person's perceptions." he told Neo.
