OCs 2 - the Sequel

Project or Person

Casey walked in to Quinn's office. She had bypassed all the security somehow and sat down across from him.
"Cassandra..." Quinn stated, surprised and partially unsure what to say for once.
"What am I?" Casey demanded.
Quinn looked at her oddly. "You're my daughter..."
"I thought I was a project," Casey crossed her arms.
Quinn sighed. "Cassandra..."
Casey didn't reply for a moment, staring at him. "You... All this time... I was just an easy fix to having a test subject. How come you left Crystal be? Why was I the experiment? Is that all I'm worth to you?!"
Quinn shook his head. "You are worth the most, Cass. That's why I gave you your intelligence."
Casey narrowed her eyes. "You have to be a jerk to experiment on a baby."
Quinn sighed. "Casey, would you like me to undo it?"
Casey's eyes widened. "W-what?"
"Would you like to become normal again? That's all I can do to fix the past. So is that what you want?" Quinn repeated.
Casey hesitated. "I-I-..."
"Your intelligence has made you one of the most outstanding woman in recent history, if not ever. If I hadn't given you that gift, you might not have chosen your current path. I directed your life for your benefit. You're making millions and you're happy. What would you be if I hadn't enhanced your brain?" Quinn asked.
Casey was speechless. The father and daughter sat in silence, waiting for the other to say something...but neither did...

Finally, Casey burst into tears and hugged him. Quinn returned the hug teared up a bit since his first child finally was hugging him again. In one way, he wasn't proud of what he did... In another way... Casey was his greatest achievement.
