She awoke without fully realizing where she was. Then it all came back to her. They had rescued Morpheus, Neo had died, she had brought him back. After that first kiss he had lost consciousness. They had brought him to his room where he was resting. After that she and Morpheus had begun the necessary repairs on the ship. Morpheus wanted to return to Zion as soon as possible. Tank was seriously wounded and needed more medical attention than they could provide. They also had several bodies that needed proper burial. Not to mention they could all use some real rest.

They had finished enough of the repairs to get the ship moving, but decided to take a short rest before heading home. Trinity had gone to check on Neo and fell asleep in the chair next to his bed. When she woke up he was the first thing she saw. Still sleeping. His body was helping his mind to heal. She covered him with a blanket and went to find Morpheus.

"How is he?" Morpheus asked.

"Still sleeping. I guess that's what he needs."

"I'm proud of you Trinity. For telling him. For having the courage to express your feelings."

"Thank you. How is Tank?"

"Not good, we need to get him home. Are you ready?"

"Yes, let's get everyone home."

Trinity hit the power and was relieved when everything started. Morpheus took his seat in the pilot's chair and they were off.

They were just minutes from the entry gates of Zion when Trinity felt a hesitant touch on her shoulder. She turned sharply to see Neo standing behind her chair.

"Neo! How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay. Just needed some sleep. How is Tank?" he asked.

"He'll be better in a few minutes. We're almost home," said Morpheus, "Are you ready to see Zion?"

"Yes, I guess I am."

They exited the ship together, Neo and Trinity. Morpheus called Trinity to the side.

"I want you to take Neo and keep him out of site for a while. I need to speak with the council. They will want some answers. They need to understand and to hear it from me."

She nodded quietly, wished him luck, and turned back to Neo.

"Let's go find you a room," she said as she led the way down the catwalk. They were almost to the elevator when he spoke.

"Trinity, I was wondering if, well, if I could stay with you?"

She smiled for the first time in days. All she could do was nod her acceptance.

They were resting and talking in her room, getting to know each other, when there was a knock on the door. She rose to answer it. As Trinity opened the door she recognized the anxious face of Ghost.

"Trin! I was worried about you. I heard what happened on the Neb. Are you okay?" he asked with concern as he moved to give her a hug.

"I'm fine. It's good to see you. I have someone I want to introduce you to."

She pushed the door open further to reveal Neo in the chair. The look of relief on Ghost's face was briefly replaced with one of surprise and then worry as she moved toward the man.

"This is Neo. He's the one I told you about last time we were docked. Neo, this is Ghost, my brother."

"Your brother?" a look of confusion crossed Neo's face as he rose to greet Ghost.

"People that are unplugged on the same day are referred to as twins. It is a very rare occurrence. So, he's my brother."

"Oh, I understand. Nice to meet you Ghost."

Ghost returned the greeting and hid the look of worry as he turned to Trinity.

"I just wanted to check on you. I'll go so you can talk. Let me know if you need anything. And, Trin, it's good to see you again," he said as he opened the door.

"I'll come and visit you soon. Good to see you again as well."

Ghost left the room and turned to head back to his own. He was disappointed. More than disappointed really. He was heartbroken. The look on Trinity's face as she introduced him to Neo had told him all he needed to know. She was in love. The words of the Oracle kept ringing in his ears: "Only as a friend, as her brother." She would never feel the same about him as he felt about her. He needed to accept that. He would be her friend. Yes, Ghost would be the best friend she ever had. That was all he could do.
