For a moment, silence had enveloped the room, a heavy, oppressive stillness between the mentor and the protégé—or at least, that's how Thawne viewed his relationship with William. William had sought him out many years ago, long before Thawne found himself imprisoned. Eobard had meticulously ensured that William understood who he was and where he came from, embedding his influence deep within him

Eobard's hand remained pressed against the glass as he stared intently at William. He tilted his head slightly, his sharp eyes scrutinizing every nuance of William's demeanor, trying to decipher his true motives and understand what he truly wanted

Eobard: Come to see me off, huh?

William just gave the former nemesis of the flash a nod replying back nonchalantly

"Yep."

But Eobard knew William better than that, see William just like him or at least that's what Thawne had tried to convince him of; he knew better than to believe for a second that the Zoloman child would actually care to see him

Eobard: Now do I find that hard to believe, little runner?

William just chuckled and runs his hand through his hair before he crosses his arms; honestly it didn't matter what the reverse flash thought..after all he was soon to be dead

"Maybe I just wanted to see if you'd escape by now. But..."

William's voice trailed off..a sly grin covering his features as Eobard removed his hand from the glass..he may have been imprisoned but that didn't mean he hadn't heard about what goes on outside these barbaric walls

Eobard: The Flash's daughter goes after you, for what?

"I've taken care of XS more than once, Thawne."

William tells him coldly, not giving a damn about the way he's handle the situation, after all all these heroes don't give a damn to hear him out, so it's not like he should feel the same

He paused for a moment and took a step forward, his gaze never leaving Thawne's for a second

"I have tried all my life, to escape who my father was, who my father is, I even came to you for help."

Eobard chuckles once again put his hand on the cold glass, in a way Thawne cared about William, in his own sadistic way, he cared to see him live, to thrive..he wanted him to be..better than he was

Eobard: Oh my little runner, XS....merely means to save her city.

That statement drew an ire from William which was heard in his tone of voice screeching at Thawne

William: From me! I don't need to be taken down! I'm not a threat to anybody.

There was truth to Williams words, he didn't wanna be a threat, to be seen as the monster many have claimed him to be; all the heroes of the future have looked at William as the son of Hunter Zoloman and didn't care to look at William as someone of circumstance
