Revival 2

"Neo" she whispered. Her eyes fluttered and briefly opened. Then they fell shut again. "Trin, come on Trin wake up." Neo knew he had to get her back to the ship; he had to get her back to Zion. There she could receive any medical treatment she needed. But if she would not wake up how could he get her back? "Come on Trin, stay with me." Her eyes fluttered again. Neo would have to take a chance. If her eyes were fluttering maybe she would come too soon if he got her back into her real body. But how to get her back? When he had come here his soul purpose was to bring her back to life. He had not even begun to think about how he might get back. Then he remembered how when he had breathed into her his code had mingled with hers. Maybe he could put a phone to his ear and touch her to get their codes intertwined enough for them both to come back. But there was no phone booth. Neo knew what he had to do. He saw free code shining all around him. He took his hands and swept the code into a new shape. His mind told it what its purposes was and how urgent that purpose was. And slowly ever so slowly and painstakingly a pay phone began to take form. It formed slowly at first. From the base up. Neo could see the glowing symbols become metal. Then it began to ring as the top was still forming. Neo murmured words of love and encouragement to Trinity as he carried her and set her on her feet next to the phone booth. He stood her up supporting her with his arm while his other reached for the ringing phone. He leaned to her and kissed her forehead as he put the phone to his ear. Neo woke with a start. His hand still held Trinity's the only difference was there was a pulse. Neo looked to her face her eyes fluttered as if she was trying to wake. As if trying to wake to show him she was fine. "Sleep Trin, sleep" he told her. He knew she had heard him when her eyes stopped fluttering and she lay still. Tears ran down his face. He knew he had almost lost her. He had lost her. But now was no time for crying. He had to get back to Zion. He looked at her then scooped her up and carried her to the pilot's chair. He then went below deck and brought her some threadbare blankets. It wasn't much but it would help. He looked at her once more. He had bundled her up in all of the blankets he could find she looked so tiny in them, and he knew so differently. He took his place in the chair and turned on the motor. The ship came alive humming with electricity. He raised it up. Taking one last glance at Trinity. She looked peaceful, alive.
