"I need to go inside the Matrix one last time," Neo addressed Morpheus at the table in the mess hall.
Morpheus arched an intrigued eyebrow. "When?"
"As soon as possible." Neo laid down his spoon. Determination etched his features.
"One last time………….what do you mean by that?" Link asked.
"One last time, before we return to Zion." Neo looked at Link, carefully avoiding Trinity's penetrating gaze.

Neo walked down a busy street and turned sharply onto a less crowded street. Hands linked behind his back, he walked with the assurance of a confident man.
A blond woman landed five feet in front of him. Delilah. An Agent.
"Well well, what have we here?" Delilah walked up to Neo until she was nose to nose with him. "The legendary One. Can you sense the need emanating off you? It calls to all women in heat." Her eyes ate him up lasciviously.
"I just have to tell you something, when we were on that god-awful ship, I wanted you so badly. But you were so concerned with your precious Trinity, even after she was gone, you were still obsessed, well since you have her back and I can't have you then all I can do is destroy you, so that no one can have you." Steel etched her tones.
Neo caught her arm as she tried to hit him. "Never will you touch me again or Trinity." The last word hissed out between his teeth. Neo squeezed her arm in his grip, until he heard the bones break. His lips curved in satisfaction.
A broken gasp ripped out of her lips. Ripples of cataclysmic pain enveloped her body. Neo gripped her other arm and broke the bones. "Now we understand each other. You hurt Trinity, I hurt you.
Releasing her from his death grip. Neo watched her crumble to the ground. He walked away without looking back.

Neo opened his eyes as Morpheus removed his plug. His face was blank. Trinity was a few feet behind him. Her face was shining with tears.
"Neo." She ran to him and hugged him. The steel warrior armor had shattered, revealing the vulnerable woman within.
Neo closed his arms around her. He could sense life within her. Soon enough she would know, by then, he would be gone.
"I love you." Neo lowered his head and kissed her passionately, unashamed of his feelings or the need to express them.
"I love you too." Closing her eyes, Trinity was happy and safe in the arms of her one true love.
Morpheus watched them. Happy now. Soon they would be separated and then who knew what the hell would happen?
Only time would tell…………………
