A Forbidden Love (The Flash- Harrison Wells Fanfiction)

Chapter Five

I was standing in between my ex-boyfriend and my current boyfriend, preventing them from killing each other.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked Malcolm. "How are you even alive?"

He just stared at me, not saying a word.

"The Arrow killed you. He told me himself. He watched you die."

He closed what little distance there was between us and whispered in my ear, "maybe next time your brother should stick around and make sure he gets the job done."

I stumbled backwards, but Harry steadied me. "How did you?"

"Before he 'killed' me, he took off his mask," he paused before looking me in the eyes. "He wanted to make sure that I knew that this was revenge. But of course here I am, so Oliver never really avenged Tommy, now did he?"

I was just about ready to swing at him, but Harry held me back. "You son of a bitch! He was your son! He was your only son and you let him die!" I choked back a sob. "I loved him so much. God, you have no idea how much I loved that boy. And you, you took him away from me, from Oliver, and from Laurel." I slowly fell to my knees, sobbing. "He's dead and it's all your fault, and I will never forgive you for that."

He knelt down in front of me. "Julia, I never meant for Tommy to get caught in all of this," he said softly.

"You knew that he would go back for Laurel. You knew that he would have never let anything happen to her even if it cost him his own life, yet you still-"

I was caught off guard when he embraced me. I tried to push away, but he held onto me. "Tommy was my son. I didn't want this to happen. I wanted him to live, have a good life, get married, and have kids."

He stood up and helped me to my feet. "Anyway, I just wanted to see how you were doing. I wanted to make sure that you were okay. I heard about your mom."

"Yeah, no thanks to you, right? If you were alive this entire time, why didn't you stop Slade?"

"I wanted to. I wish I could have righted my wrongs by helping your family, but I had to help my family."

"What family?" I asked. "Tommy's dead."

"I recently found out I have a daughter" he said. "It's Thea."

I assumed the look on my face was priceless. There were no words that could describe how completely shocked and utterly disgusted. I slept with Thea's father. My baby sister's father.

"How do I know you're not lying?"

"Ask Oliver. Your mother told him before..." he trailed off.

I shook my head. "You know what, Malcolm, this is all just too much to handle right now. You should go."

I looked at Harrison through the corner of my eye and realized that he'd been glaring at Malcolm the entire time. I grabbed Malcolm's arm and started walking, leading him to the front door. He was standing outside of the open door. "It's like everywhere you go, you leave a mess behind," I said before closing the door behind him.

"Who was that?" Harry asked after Malcolm left.

I sighed. "Harry, it's late and I just want to go to bed."

He stared at me expectantly.

I ran my hands through my hair as I sighed once more. "His name is Malcolm Merlyn. He's my ex-boyfriend, and up until now he was believed to be dead."

"So you never broke up with him then?" Harrison asked.

"No, we'd been long broken up before he supposedly died," I answered.
