Surprise Visit

We stood there for a while. On top of that sentinel. I had my hand over Isis's shoulder the whole time. I suppose that comforted her. I don't know how I felt. But. . .

After that we returned to Isis's home. Soon it started to rain again. And the sky rained the code again. And reminded me of that last battle again. . . But that doesn't matter now.

Isis- I've never seen it rain so hard.

I was standing at the window next to one of her monitors. I turned to see her.

Smith- I have, just not real.

Isis- What's that suppose to mean?

Smith- Nothing.

Isis- Whatever.

Isis opened that container she had been carrying. She pulled out some sentinel parts, and set them on her desk. She walked passed me, and put on some gloves, and a hologram appeared in front of her. It showed the news, saying what the weather was going to be. She sat on her couch, and looked up at me.

Isis- What?

I suppose I was watching her, humans find that strange. I was just standing there, looking at her. Although there was nothing else to do.

Smith- Nothing.

Isis- So are you just going to stand there?

Smith- What would you suggest I do?

She sighed, and looked around her room. But she couldn't find an answer.

Isis- I don't know! This is your vacation.

Smith- Vacation!? You forced me to come here.

Isis- But you came.

Smith- After you wouldn't stop bothering me.

Isis- Yeah, well that's what I do.

She was getting annoying again. Arguing with me, about everything.

Isis- Just forget. Just go do Agent stuff, I don't like you staring at me.

Smith- Agent stuff?

Isis- Well, what would you do if you were an Agent in this situation?

Smith- If I was still an Agent I would kill you, hack into Zion, and see if I can make a self-destroying virus to burn this city down.

I said that in a strong voice, because it was true. Isis could see I was serious, she gave me a surprised look.

Isis- Ok. . . Don't do Agent stuff.

I diverted my gaze away from here, since she clearly didn't like it. I started to walk around the room, observing the machines. It was quite impressive. I walked to the corner of the room, where there was a red light, dimming and brightening. I don't know what it did but- - There was knocking at the door. I turned to the door that was just beside me. I turned the doorknob. Which I now regret. I opened the door, and there stood in front of me was her. That one rebel that slipped away from me so many times, the one rebel that caused me so much anger, that one rebel who was now the wife of The One. There stood in the doorway was Trinity, in torn blue clothes. It was she that gave the first surprised look. She looked up to see me, and not even with my sunglasses. Her eye widened and her mouth came open. Then I did the same. I couldn't believe it. No. That wasn't possible. How could she be here? How could she be standing next to me? I never wanted this! I started to back away from the door. No. No. Not now. Not in the Real World!

Isis- Smith, who is it?

I kept backing away from the door, and turned to Isis. She then walked in front of me.

Isis- Trinity!

Apparently she was as surprised as me. We all stood in silence for a moment, as I looked over Isis to see Trinity. No. She can't see me like this! No suite, no sunglasses, no power! I look just like any other god damn human! I can't let her see me like this! So weak and feeble! But I couldn't move. Trinity stared at me. Looking at my eyes that she has never truly seen. Oh, God. No.

Raven- Mommy!

Oh, no. Is it? That high pitched little voice? Is it from that child!? Neo's daughter? No. No. . . A child then came running and hugging Trinity's leg. It was her. That girl. Raven. She was so small. Her hair was short and black, her skin as pale as Neo's, and just as Neo said, she had Trinity's eyes. I looked down at the child. She smiled, and hugged her mother's leg. Then she noticed me as well. She looked up at me for a moment, then waved. This is crazy. . .

Isis- Um. . . Trinity, I believe you already know Smith, Smith this is Raven. Raven this is Smith.

Raven- . . . Hello!

Trinity started to put an arm around her daughter, obviously protecting her from me. She then grabbed Raven and held her. She looked again at me with a face of shock.

Smith- . . . Hello. . .

I said quietly to that girl. What do I do? I just stood there for a moment longer, as the child stared at me.

Isis- So, what are you guys doing here?

Trinity still stared at me without replying. Then she looked down at Isis.

Trinity- You left this at our place. We were going to wait til' you came by, but Raven wanted to see you.

Trinity got a small box out of her bag that she carried and handed it to Isis.

Trinity- I didn't know he was here.

She shot a look at me.

Isis- Well. . . Neo did tell you I was. . . Teaching him, right?

Trinity- I didn't think you'd get him here.

She talked as if I wasn't standing right there. I didn't like that. Although after what I've done to her I suppose this behavior should be expected. I stood there in silence. Watching them.

Raven- Hi! Isis!

Isis- Hello Ravey.

Trinity still stared at me, as I did her. Then I looked down at the Raven who was in her arms. Raven couldn't have been more than four. She had her hands curled up, and she stared at me.

Raven- Are you a prooogram?

What do I say? I looked down at Isis, who was as oblivious as me. Then I looked to Trinity. I didn't know what she wanted, but I think she wished for me to answer. I turned back to Raven.

Smith- . . . Yes. . .

Raven- What's your name?

Once again I looked at Trinity. What if they had told her about me? Told her what I did to her parents. I looked at Trinity. She nodded, to let me answer.

Smith- My name is. . . Smith.

Raven- That's a funny name!

I suppose it is, since she is surrounded by people with names like Nova, and Sparks. Raven laughed a little more, and clapped her hands.

Trinity- I think we should go, sweetie.

Raven- But, Mommy! I want to stay and play with Isis and Smith!

I could see Trinity didn't like it that her daughter said my name. She gave a concerned look, and looked back at me.

Raven- Please, Mommy! Daddy isn't going to be home for a long time like you said!

Trinity- But. . .

Raven- Please, Mommy! Smith could protect me from the lighting!

I saw a very disgusted look on Trinity's face, as Raven said my name again, and wanted me to protect her.

Raven- Daddy always protects me, but now Smith can!

Why me? Perhaps it is because I am male, her father always protects her, and thus a male always protects her. I didn't want this. I don't want to protect the child of Neo! I took a step back away from them. I refuse to do that! I wont!

Isis- Don't you want to go home, Ravey?

Raven- Nooo!!!

Trinity- Sweetie. . .

Raven- Please Mommy!! Please!!

Trinity could see me backing away, I suppose I had a fearful face on. I never encountered such a young child, and I didn't want to do anything with it! I didn't want to do anything with Trinity! I didn't want this!

Trinity- Alright. . . Just a little while. . .

Raven- Yay!!

Raven rustled out of her mother's arms, and ran passed her to me. She stared up at me and smiled.

Isis- Don't you want to go play?

I could see they were trying to get Raven away from me. They didn't like her being around me as much as I did.

Raven- Do you want to play?

She was asking me!

Trinity- Raven, leave the poor guy alone. This is his first time in the Real World. Remember what I told you.

Raven looked back at her mother, and nodded.

Isis- Go get your toys, Ravey.

Raven then walked passed me, and went to a closet. She opened it, and pulled out some toys. She sat down and started playing with them. She finally was ignoring me. Trinity walked in with her arms crossed, slowly walking towards me.

Trinity- So. . . What are you doing here?

She came up to me rudely. Again I should expect this.

Smith- I am here, because of her.

I pointed at Isis.

Isis- Well, I thought it would be good for him.

Trinity stared at Isis, then at me again.

Trinity- I never thought in a million years would I see you here.

She started to circle me.

Smith- Neither did I.

Trinity- I have to admit, it is good to see you, at least when you're not trying to kill me.

I didn't say anything. Anything I would have said she would have spat back at me. So instead I changed the subject.

Smith- I didn't know you were so close to Isis.

I looked at Isis, she looked nervous.

Isis- Well. . . You never asked. Me and Neo, Trinity, Ravey, even Morpheus when I see him, we are all pretty close.

Trinity- Yeah, we found Isis about when she was Raven's age. Neo got to her, just before a Sentinel attacked her. She had nowhere to go. So after awhile we took care of her. That is until she insisted on moving out because of her "superior intellect."

Isis- Neo is kind of protective of me. He wouldn't let me move far. I'm only flight away from your guys' home.

Smith- And why did you not tell me this?

Isis- Because then you would have hated me!

Trinity- She's right you know.

I looked away from Trinity. She sat down, and did Isis. I chose to stay standing.

Smith- So where is Mr. And- -

Don't say Mr. Anderson.

Smith- Where is Neo?

Trinity knew I was going to say Anderson, I saw it in her eyes. She titled her head.

Trinity- He's at council meeting.

Isis- How's Morph?

Trinity- He's fine. Niobi and he are getting a ship together. I don't know what they'll call it.

Isis- Awesome!

Trinity- He's not going to let you drive it.

Isis- Aww. . .

Smith- You drive?

Isis- No. I crash.

I didn't get too far into the conversation. Trinity still eyeballed me, like I was going to kill her any second. That is expected. I stood and listened to them. When I felt a tugging at my leg. I looked down, and Raven stood there.

Raven- What kind of program are you?

I looked over at Trinity.

Smith- I am a. . . A. . . Former Federal Law Enforcer.

I couldn't say an Agent. So, a federal law enforcer was close enough to what I did. Protect the Matrix from illegal Rebels.

Raven- What's that?

Smith- I use to keep everything in order in the Matrix.

That is a good way to put it.

Raven- Oh! Do you want to play with me?

Trinity- Ravey. . .

Smith- I'll be fine, go ahead without me.

Raven then walked along and Isis joined her. Trinity stared at me.

Trinity- A Federal Law Enforcer?

Smith- I could not say Agent.

Trinity- But a Federal Law Enforcer?

Smith- Technically it is what I did.

Trinity smiled a bit. I suppose what I said was funny to her.

After about an hour, they left. Raven had fallen asleep, and Trinity carried her away in her arms. Raven kept tugging at my leg, asking me these questions. I would have to answer, which was not always easy. Raven was not what I expected, she was just like any other child. Innocent, I suppose. Trinity didn't talk to me much. But shot a glance at me, and ask me a question or two. I didn't like the visit much, but it was not as bad as I expected. It still rained, as we said goodbye. Then Trinity left.

Isis- So. . . What'd you think of that?

Smith- An interesting experience.

Isis- You like Raven.

Smith- I did not say that.

Isis- But you do.

Smith- You virus, assuming what you cannot tell.

Isis- Hey! Mindless drone!

Smith- Blood sack.

Isis- Inefficient program!

Smith- Emotional hazard.
