Looking Back

Chapter 11: Better Man

Trinity's POV

Send someone to love me

I need to rest in arms

Keep me safe from harm

In pouring rain

Give me endless summer

Lord, I fear the cold

Feel I'm getting old

Before my time

***

I washed my face and took a deep breath, trying to even out everything. We made love after the conversation about the kiss, and now it was time for us to go back into the Matrix. I still felt soft and warm, and a deep, tingly feeling was still present within me, and I knew it would take a while for it to leave. As I went out the lavatory, I saw Neo sitting down on the bed, his forehead creased. He looked so tired, exhausted. I knew this mission would take a lot out of him. "Ready?" I asked gently.

As my soul, heals the shame

I will go through this pain

Lord I'm doing all I can

To be a better man

He stared up at me, his eyes showed signs of fear, sadness. and I knew it was about those dreams again, those visions that wouldn't stop appearing in his dreams, I knew it was driving him insane. "Trinity, could you promise me something?" he gazed at me as I sat down on the bed, taking his hand in mine. "Well, I promise you if I can I will." I didn't need to think. I knew I would do as much as I could for him.

***

Go easy on my conscience

'Cause it's not my fault

I know I've been taught

To take the blame

Rest assured my angels

Will catch my tears

Walk me out of here, I'm in pain

***

"Promise me, you won't go to the Matrix." He said quietly. I frowned, "What?". He looked straight into my eyes, and I just knew he was feeling hurt, feeling lost. and somehow I knew those dreams were about me. "Please." he begged softly. "Alright." I said, finally allowing everything to sink in. I wanted him to be happy, and his life was hard enough, I just wanted to help him, even for just a bit. He smiled softly, as if thanking me, and we met in a kiss.

As my soul, heals the shame

I will go through this pain

Lord I'm doing all I can

To be a better man

I followed him to the construct and helped him get plugged in. "Be careful." I whispered softly, giving him a quick kiss before I plugged him into the Matrix. I then went to the monitors to help Link watch. I saw him mutter something and put on a chainlike necklace and I smiled to myself.

"They're inside, but-" "They're not moving." I felt my heart pump blood faster as I came to the realization. "Call Neo now!" I commanded on Link. "Lost them. They're inside the portal. "What about the grid?" "Everything's still operational. Emergency system's already rerouting power. Jesus. As soon as they open that door, it's all over.". Over my dead body it was, "The hell it is."

As my soul, heals the shame

I will go through this pain

Lord I'm doing all I can

To be a better man
