Eobard Thawne Fanfiction (Flash)

Chapter 16

"I can't believe you're being so childish."

"How is it childish, you're literally infatuated with him."

"He has been my enemy for many years." You just continue to glare.

In your mind you know you're fussing over nothing, but still, the least he could do was know your birthday. Sitting in the room begrudgingly, you pout. A smile works its way on Eobard's face. You hadn't exactly left the lab, you just ran to his room to vent.

"Trust me, you have nothing to worry about. Allen is the least of your problems."

"I don't know about that, I feel like if he were a woman you'd probably be chasing him instead of me."

"Who says he needs to be a woman?" Your mouth falls open and he just smiles.

"Kidding. I'm kidding. I just wanted to tease you."

"NOT FUNNY!!"

Eobard just continues to laugh. It's adorable, your little reactions.

You know he's about to give another snide remark, but you pause for a second. Eobard's laughter gets a bit softer when he sees the change in your posture. You stand, tilting your head and looking around.

"Is everything alright?"

You're unable to answer, because you aren't sure.

"Something feels off."

You head out the door, and Eobard follows. When you're both standing in the cortex, Barry lifts a cupcake.

"I'm sorry (Y/N)!"

Something tells you it's about the little scandal earlier. But he doesn't get a reaction, there is no response.

"(Y/N)?"

"Do you guys feel that?"

Barry wants to ask what exactly it is you're referring to. You lift your palm, and those sparks are back. The ones that appeared when Eobard first came with his crazy news. You flinch, because even with your speed, the attack that comes hurtling your way, you aren't able to avoid. Your body is slammed into a wall, and you grunt.

Sliding down, you barely catch a glimpse of Eobard going into a frenzy after whatever it is that just hit you. He grabs the individual, and you stumble to your feet. Whoever it is he now has by the throat. You realize it doesn't look like some notorious metahuman killer. It's just a child.

A boy.

"D-Dad! Stop it's me dad!!" The blond haired child is pleading, and Eobard doesn't fully register his words, but he moves his hand. Barry and the others are on guard, and it's then that Cisco speaks.

"Did he just say..dad?"

Barry facepalms.

"Just great, more time travel."

When you're fully upright, the boy takes in your appearance, and his eyes brighten.

"Mom!!" He moves to run to you, but Eobard steps between him, glaring.

"Who the hell are you?"

Said male looks a bit frantic.

"Oh right, I forgot you guys probably don't know who I am." He his throat, puffing out his chest in an attempt to look taller than Eobard.

"My name is Eli Thawne. I'm your son."

Your jaw is practically on the floor, and you point to yourself, then Eobard, and Eli nods.

"I know, this is cool right! Sorry about the crash landing. I really didn't mean to hit you."

Eobard still looks like he's trying to wrap his head around it all. There's doubt written all over his face.

"Are you saying that we're your parents?"

Eli looks a bit less sure of himself.

"Uhh, yeah you are."

The way he watches Eobard a bit wearily has you questioning some things. You still don't fully believe it.

"How about we all take a seat." Iris inputs.

You'd need more support than that to deal with this.
