Eobard Thawne Fanfiction (Flash)

Chapter 9

"So he's in?"

Barry asks suspiciously.

"One hundred percent." Eobard punctuates. You shift on your feet.

"I'll keep an eye on him, don't worry. '' Barry usually wouldn't just leave, but his actual day job was calling, and it's not like you can't handle yourself. You seem to be the best at controlling Eobard honestly.

"If anything happens-"

"You'll be the first to know." You say. Barry gives Eobard one more look before he's gone. Caitlin and Cisco are about doing something or the other. So you're not really alone. Now that it's just the two of you, he smirks.

"N-No touching okay. We focus on making you good. That's all."

"Of course."

Eobard agrees, but he's still watching you like a piece of meat. Now you understand why Cisco was so unnerved.

"I'm serious." You were too embarrassed to tell any of them what happened in the pipeline. And Eobard was using it to his advantage. He moves a bit closer, circling you.

"You can't tell me it doesn't make you curious. If just a kiss felt that good, think of all the other things we are capable of feeling." Your throat feels a bit dry. He raised his hand, and you're a bit taken with the flecks of electricity bouncing off his fingers. You aren't able to deny that this was more than anything you'd experience in your life. It seems to be the same for Eobard.

"Something about you drives me wild."

He finally stops when he's much closer to you.

"I know the key to my survival is dependent on you, but this feels different. " That snaps you back to reality, and you lower your eyes. You still haven't told him about your knowledge of the apparent future. Some part of you is scared too. It's weird, you would expect Eobard to be the one who's usually hiding something, but today, you feel like a manipulator.

"I need to get to work." You just move to the computers, and Eobard takes note of the way you're now acting very distant.

Cisco walks in, slowly his step when he sees the speedster.

"Everything alright here?"

Cisco can most definitely feel the tension. When Eobard sends him a look, he doesn't ask anymore questions.

The day carries on. For the most part, Eobard watches you work, or assists when he sees you need it. The tension dissipates as the day drags by. He's actually very helpful. Especially in the lab.

"You know you'd make a good scientist." He raises a brow, and then you let out an awkward laugh.

"Oh right."

You forget sometimes. He practically ran this place for years. You glance at him as he goes through the lab's security system. The blond hair is becoming more prominent. It's weird, but you sort of anticipate seeing the true Eobard Thawne. In that vision you'd gotten just a brief look at his face. You try to pull the face back, but the memory has almost completely faded.

"(Y/N)!!"

Your phone beeps, and Barry's voice flows through the coms.

"B-Barry what's wrong?"

"You need to get out of the lab now!!"

"Wha-"

All you hear is a pained cry on the other side of the line.

"Too late."

You flinch, and freeze. Your body physically won't move. You try to phase, but all you manage is a few loose sparks. Eobard grunts from his position. He's in the same predicament.
