When a program couldn't properly rest, she might as well spend the time watching for newcomers. The Portal wasn't pausing to rest anymore. Yori wandered with a restless energy, trying not to think too much ( ... )

Tron froze when he heard that voice and looked up sharply at the program that approached him. He knew that voice; he could never forget that voice. How could he? He'd spent countless microcycles processing over the cycle he'd get out of the cells and get to see the one program that meant everything to him. He'd spent another countless millicycles never knowing her--but he'd never forgotten, not deep down.

He would never forget the voice of that program. Nor the beautiful countenance of her either.

He seized on a quick intake of air as his processor froze just as readily at the sight of her. If he had known what a soulmate was he would have readily called her that on instinct because he knew without a doubt that was what she was to him.

Tron didn't hesitate any further. "Yori!" he gasped, and bridged the gap between them with two quick steps. He took her in his hands and held her at arm's length, staring wide-eyed at her at first, an incredulous grin upon his face. Then he took her into his arms. "YoriSo much emotion in one name, ( ... )

The sudden movement caught Yori off-guard, and even knowing that this was Tron, for a moment she had to fight herself not to flinch away from the hands that gripped her shoulders. Tron's grasp had always been safety, not a prison, but it was so hard to remember now.

Until he pulled her closer, arms enfolding her with warmth, and she let out a shuddering sigh. "Tron," Yori whispered, looking up.

From this angle the cloak was no barrier. The joy on his face--

Yori swallowed painfully, and didn't cling to him as she would have liked, though one arm lifted almost without her consent to rest on his shoulder. "It's good to see you." It was the honesty that made the words hurt, hope and despair that never quite settled.

With no evidence but that unmarred joy, she was certain enough. This one didn't remember her betrayal, couldn't be the Tron who'd watched Clu break her spirit. But, Users, if only she could be another Yori, his Yori ( ... )

Tron was taken aback with the lack of physical response and left tongue-tied at the question. His brow furrowed as he tried to reconcile his processes and find an answer for her. "I'm not sure... it's still a bit hazy."

He sighed, frustrated at his own files and coding for failing him even after all this recovery time. It didn't seem fair. And even if that didn't matter in the large scale of things to him, he found it annoying if just for Yori's sake. He wanted to have an answer for her. A clear answer.

He shook his head and stepped back to look her in the face, still keeping his hold of her. "I remember most of our time back at ENCOM together but after my integration with the Grid there are a lot of blank spots. I'm still working on the memory files. It's..." he made an annoyed face briefly, "taking longer to fix everything than I realized."

"You don't remember?" she echoed, tone uncertain, the shield of resignation she'd built shattering like the fragile defense it was. Newly arrived, and--he could be, no evidence said otherwise except her own expectations, if there was any memory Tron would want to forget it was probably sections of the time as Rinzler ( ... )

Tron went still as Yori repeated the news of the malfunctioning Portal that Tron had wanted to confirm when he reached the inner confines of the city. He hadn't really doubted it so much as he had needed it heard from someone else to affirm that his systems weren't glitching. How could this--

He left it alone. Instead, he rubbed her back gently, absently, as he contemplated silently for a moment.

"I know," he finally stated. He didn't want to think of the implications of what it meant to Yori...or to him. Them. He closed his eyes and lowered his head towards her though he made a point not to touch just in case it upset her. "The rumors are vague on the details in the outskirts but it's the talk everywhere on the Grid it seems. It's...disturbing doesn't quite seem to be adequate enough." He sighed and opened his eyes again to look at her. "I'm sorry. If I remember--when I remember something more, you'll be the first to know."

He managed a small half smile. "Either way, you know what you mean to me. No matter what."

Disturbing enough, true; still, she didn't want him to lose sight of the joy. Yori smiled, accepting his comforting hand and offering her own. "There are Isos on the Grid again, and Users, and programs derezzed by Clu's army who never expected to be reunited with their friends," she told Tron, "and that's worth almost anything ( ... )
