"I never said you were." Trinity replied, continuing the petty banter.
"Well, that settles it then, right?"
"Yeah."
The conversation, if one would call it such a thing, ended, as no words were needed any longer. Mouths met time and time again as the pair forgot their predicament, forgot where they were and forgot the world around them. Slipping around until finding a stable wall, Neo and Trinity moved fluidly against it, water lapping gently around their waists. Neo's dripping fingers slid up Trinity's torso as a new form of ecstasy began building up inside of her. Gripping her tightly, Neo's fingers pushed against the soft flesh and hard plugs of Trinity's back as his world exploded. Pulling back slightly, Neo dipped his head to kiss an open and inviting mouth.
Lips on lips, a different type of explosion form the one he had just experienced, Neo forgot each time how much he wanted, needed, and loved Trinity. And each time, she hungrily reminded him. Slipping his tongue into her mouth, the pair was too under the spell of the other to gear Morpheus coming towards them on the other side of the metal wall. Neither noticed him looking over the side to see where they were, then pulling away quickly, his face gaining a reddish hue.
"Trinity, Neo. The Conquistador will be docking in fifteen minutes." Morpheus shouted over the makeshift metal wall.
Breaking the kiss, Trinity turned her head in the direction of her captain's voice as Neo found her neck to be something he needed to inspect.
"Thank you Morpheus, we'll be right up."
"I hope so." The softer reply barely registered as Trinity found it hard to concentrate on two things- one of which was practically pulling sexual responses of out her- at once.
Succumbing to Neo's pushing, Trinity captured his lips with her own, pulling his body closer to her until they touched. Figuring if she didn't stop this here, it wouldn't stop for quite some time, Trinity slowly pushed Neo away. Not waiting for a response, Trinity moved towards the sheet of metal, and climbing nimbly over it. Splashing into the cold water, Trinity froze a moment, clenching her teeth. Hearing Neo climb out behind her, she moved forward towards her clothes.
"No, you'll get sick if you put on those cold, wet things. Come on, no one's down here, we can go look for some blankets." Neo replied, taking the clothes from her and holding them in his arms with his own clothes.
Trinity paused a moment before grabbing the two pairs of boots and leading the way. As they approached the ladder, Trinity dropped the boots and walked to a small cubbyhole in the wall. Pulling out two blankets, Trinity handed one to Neo and wrapped another around herself. Finding a toolbox, Trinity dumped the contents and, after pulling on her boots, put hers and Neo's clothes in the box. Climbing up the ladder proved a chore, but they finally arrived at the sleeping quarters and climbed off.
~~*~~
"Neo, Trinity, Link and Morpheus, this is Tsunami." Captain Dimitri of the Conquistador introduced the new member with a wave of her hand.
Trinity didn't like the man from his name, never mind his looks. Something about him unnerved her. It wasn't his physical features, brown hair and striking brown eyes took in their surrounding quickly, as if sizing up everyone. No, it was the air around him, the attitude he gave off. Shaking the feeling off as an unhappiness that Dozer's job would be replaced so soon, Trinity nodded in his direction when his eyes fell on her as a hello.
When the Conquistador left, Morpheus took Tsunami down to the sublevels while Trinity and Neo went into their room.
"I don't like him."
"Something's not right about him" They spoke in unison.
Pausing a moment to take in the other's statement, they nodded before Neo sat down on one end of the bed and Trinity on the other. Neo's eyes glanced from Trinity to the floor and back again before settling on her face.
"What do think?"
"I don't know, I just have a gut feeling about him."
"Well, he's given no reason to anything but another freedom fighter, so all we can do is try to get along with him, all right?" Neo stated.
Trinity nodded, but didn't respond.
~~*~~
"So this water main is busted, Neo can you go find a clamp for it?" Tsunami asked, turning towards the One.
"Yeah, sure." Neo turned and left.
"So, Trinity. How long has he been unplugged?"
"Everyone knows by now Tsunami. You shouldn't have to ask."
"Well, I'm not at Zion much, besides, I'm just trying to make small talk."
"I'm not one to talk small." Trinity replied before turning away.
Tsunami stood for a moment, fury bubbling beneath the surface before shaking his head and going back to work.
~~*~~
It wasn't supposed to be like this. He was supposed to kill the One and if at all possible, the rest of the crew. Now this was a huge wrench thrown in. He was told Trinity was a man killer, he never thought it was literal in the real world. Sure, she was a highly spoken about woman among male crews, but since the relationship she had with the One became known, most shut their mouths, afraid of being reprimanded.
And yet, he didn't give a shit. This feeling, emotion, attraction, whatever the fuck you call it, was pissing him off, he should not be attracted to Trinity, it was not supposed to happen. To top it off, it was just another reason for him to kill the One. But he knew, he wasn't stupid, if he killed Neo, even IF they didn't know he did it, he knew Trinity would never touch another man ever again. She would most likely close up, never letting anyone get close.
Sighing, Tsunami rolled over on his cot, trying to shake all these thoughts from his head. This would be harder than he thought because Trinity, he knew already didn't like him. He would be the prime suspect and she would have first dibs on torture. Hell, she wouldn't let anyone else go near him before she did. Certainly, how he went about this, would have to be very subtle and seem like a normal death, unless- unless he followed in Cypher's steps and killed them all while they were in the Matrix. That would be far easier. Yes, he would do that.

Okay, how does all that sound? I'm on an upset streak, I can't download the Revolutions trailer (Ellie, no gloating!), I have to go to a car wash for my soccer team tomorrow, and I have tons of homework. Oh well, figured you'd guys want this, you waited a week for it.
