01 stood on top of his usual building gazing over the city feeling a bit on
pissy side. The fight with the agents went fine, in fact, he beat the
living shit out of them but that wasn't what Neo was mad about.
That stupid bastard went and punched me right in the face. I go and try to let them get the first move in to show them they can't hurt me, and that stupid piece of shit goes right for my eyes. He thought.
Neo was now without his precious glasses. His cover-up was completely gone. When Neo had his glasses on, he looked like one of the devil's henchmen: wearing all black, tall, no expression, able to kill with the flick of his wrist, completely emotionless....with his glasses. Without his glasses he wouldn't look like the devil's henchman, he wouldn't be able to intimidate. Without his glasses, you could see his eyes.
Yes, his eyes. When you look at Neo's face he shows no emotion or expression, because it's all in his eyes. Everything.
01 got a sour look on his face. That is not what he needed, the human side getting to have any ideas in their stupid little minds. In fact, Neo thought everything about the humans was stupid. He hated them. He hated himself as well. They had too much emotion, let stupid matters such as love and hatred get into their way, but most of all Neo hated that he had never experienced any of this himself and that he never would.
Neo crossed his arms and shifted feet. What do they hope to accomplish? He pondered. The more Neo thought about it, the more curious he became and it made him want to find out for himself.
Maybe that's exactly what I'll do. If I get the chance. He thought.
Then, Neo sensed something, a disturbance. He frowned. It was more humans entering the matrix. He knew that in a few minutes, Main Control would tell him what their business was and to keep them from doing it.
He waited for that moment to come, and it never came.
Mouse sighed as he sat onto Switch's lap as they got into their car. Just because I'm younger and maybe a little bit smaller doesn't mean I should be the one sitting on laps. He thought.
It wasn't any more comfortable for Switch than it was for Mouse. She grunted and got a sour look on her face.
Cyper was driving as usual and Morpheus sat in the front seat next to him. Trinity, Apoc, and Switch as squeezed in the back while Mouse sat on Switch's lap.
After a few minutes of squirming to get into the car they were off.
"Where exactly are we going?" Asked Switch.
"Nowhere." Replied Morpheus.
Everyone tried to make sense of it, but couldn't.
"As much I really don't want to meet him, how are we going to?" Questioned Apoc.
"We are merely going to park in a deserted part of the city and wait for him to come to us."
Great plan. They all thought.
Trinity wasn't worried though, she was terrified. She didn't even know this man and she loved him. It made her sick to her stomach. What was she to do? If she had feelings for him she would find it hard to be able to defend herself if needed.
In time they arrived at their destination, wherever that was.
Everyone piled out of the car and regained themselves in time to listen to Morpheus.
"Just wait. He'll come, and when he does, not a sound or a movement."
They all nodded, but inside they weren't so sure. Inside they all wanted to run. To run home to their sweet little mamas, if they had any.
Neo stood there puzzled that Main Control had not told him to go and destroy, let alone investigate. It actually bothered him. What if something had gone wrong? No.
He sensed for any change or complication to the matrix. He found none. In reality, this was good. On account that Neo didn't have his glasses, he didn't have to worry about any emotions flowing out. He wouldn't be able to have new ones until the next time he was plugged in. This was about in 7 hours. He would get out in 5, and have a 2 hours break.
Damn. It pissed him off. This had never happened before. What was he to do?
Wait. One of the people he was sensing was..was..Morpheus. Neo hadn't known Morpheus personally, but had heard of him. A lot. He was curious to meet him as he was curious as anything else.
There was no harm in going to meet him at all. Neo wouldn't have to kill him or anyone else, unless instructed to do so.
But what about my eyes? He thought. What if-Oh screw it.
So what. What the heck are Morpheus and his little crew going to do to him?
What the hell.
The Neb crew stood waited for about 12 minutes before they heard something that made Mouse almost squeak.
Everyone turned around, but it was just a cat on a garbage can.
They all turned around to find a very tall, very scary looking man standing in front of them.
Just about half of them were crapping bricks until Morpheus smiled in delight.
"Hello Neo."
The man who was Neo seemed to be taken aback by Morpheus's voice but regained.
"How do you know my name?" The man stood still and was extremely hard to read, until the crew looked into his eyes.
They seemed like dark brown portals leading to another world, but they lead to his emotions, but currently, this man had none.
Morpheus's grin only increased. "I have watched the tape."
Neo seemed to relax a little bit. "What are you here for Neo?"
Neo blinked as if he had to think about it. "I came to meet you."
Morpheus himself was taken back by Neo's answer, he wondered why Neo hadn't come to kill them, or even try.
"So you have no meaning of killing us." Morpheus questioned.
Neo seemed to get angry at the question. "Not yet."
"Then what means do you have coming here then."
The crew wished Morpheus would stop questioning this guy because with every question he was getting more and more pissed.
"What means do you have waiting for me?"
They were all surprised and yet overwhelmed that he didn't kill them right then and there.
The captain smiled. "Very good. We have come to meet you as well Neo."
"Why?"
"The same reason you have come to meet us."
Neo shifted feet. That was the first time they had seen him move in the past 8 minutes.
"You too seek information?"
Morpheus nodded. "Yes."
"Why?"
Morpheus began circling Neo as if he were about to free him and the crew wished he hadn't because it looked as if Neo was losing his patience.
"You have indeed come to understand us yes?" No reply. "We wish to understand you."
Neo grimaced.
Oh my god. Did he just grin? The crew thought.
"And you expect me to tell you what you want?" Morpheus smiled.
"We expect from you what you expect from us."
Neo nodded approvingly. "Very well Morpheus. I am impressed. I will tell you what you want if you tell me what a want."
Morpheus nodded agreeing. If he could gain Neo's trust, they might actually have a chance.
That stupid bastard went and punched me right in the face. I go and try to let them get the first move in to show them they can't hurt me, and that stupid piece of shit goes right for my eyes. He thought.
