A.N. Last chapter of the week.
Chapter 85 - So It Was All Part of Your Plan
"So let me get this straight."
"Mm-hm."
"You set a plan years ago to see if it was possible to genetically engineer artificial humans with extreme regenerative properties."
"Ayup."
"And as a result, you contacted Watts to work for Salem - who I'm just finding out is another double agent working for you - to mix my s-sperm," Rudy stuttered with a bright red face as he said that last word. "With some of your donated eggs and as a result, Watts was able to make Metis."
"Yup. I never really met Metis before, but then again that's how I treat my other daughter."
"Why - and I'm trying to be extremely civil here - did you do all of this?"
"I'm strong. I respect the strong. I respect the fact that Salem is strong, but she's a crazy bitch so we need to get rid of her. You're not strong in the conventional sense, but with my genes and you're weird curse thing we have the potential to create the strongest children ever."
"...okay, I barely got any of that logic. But I have a question. How did you convince Tyrian to get m-my... how did you get the materials for Watts?"
"...who's Tyrian?"
"N-Never mind."
"So," and the two turned to look at Metis. "So you're my Mom. My actual biological mom, instead of a kinda-mom like Mommy Rudy?"
"If you care about labels, sure."
Metis jumped up eagerly with stars in her eyes. "When are the two of you getting married?"
Rudy slapped himself in the face.
