Prompt 2 - Family
Family? That's a foreign concept to a genetically engineered supersoldier. I have people that I protect, that I don't leave behind, but they aren't family. Max likes to think that we're all brothers and sisters, but we're not. We're just people that share the same genetic cocktail and that were made at the same government facility.
I guess I have a mother and a father technically. I mean someone had to donate the egg and the sperm to begin the cocktail, right? Who knows, maybe my father is Albert Einstein or Felix the Cat. It doesn't really matter. Family never really mattered to me except with how it affected the mission. Even when my genetic twin was killed and I was sent to Psy Ops to see if I would mutate like he did, family didn't mean shit. It was just another hurdle to overcome to prove I wasn't anything like him.
[Locked Private] It wasn't until the job with Rachel that I saw what a family was supposed to be like. How tight the bond was between a father and a daughter. Ever since then, I've wondered about families as something other than a means to an end. [/Locked]
