Grodd Lives
Eddie looked around his prison, he didn’t know how long he had been there, but he knew it had to have been more than 24 hours. He was tired, starving and his wrist was sore from the hands cuffs. Eddie instantly froze the moment he heard the door open and saw someone coming down the latter.
He rolled his eyes when he saw it Wells. “Don't suppose you brought lunch?” he asked. Wells smiled and handed Eddie a big belly burger bag. Eddie grabbed the bag quickly and started eating the first thing his hands touched.
“Thank you” he says.
“Your welcome, you’re the last person I would want to starve” Wells says grabbing a chair and sitting directly across from him.
Eddie narrowed his eyes. “You want to tell me what we're doing down here?” he asks.
“No. You told me we're related, that you're from the future. Prove it”.
Wells chuckled at Eddie’s curiosity. “If you could see my real face, that would be all the proof you need”.
Eddie huffs in annoyance. “Well, I think you're full of crap. You know they're going to find me. And you. You're not as smart as you think you are”.
“Oh, really? Because I'm a genius where I come from. Imagine how smart that makes me here” Wells smirks.
“Cause you're from the future? Hmm. With a name like Eobard, I guess you'd have to be” Eddie taunts.
Wells chuckles again. Eddie has no idea why Wells finds everything he says hilarious. “No, Eobard is a distinguished name for a distinguished member of a distinguished family. You should know, you gave it to me”.
Eddie gives him a hard stare. “What are you talking about?”
“My name you gave it to me” Wells says again, waiting for a reaction.
“Why would I have given you your name?” Eddie stares wide eyed, he knows the answer but he can’t find it in himself to say the words.
Wells laughs he doesn’t remember Eddie being so dramatic. He rolls his eyes before saying. “You’re my father”.
Eddie drops the bag of food and suddenly loses all air in his lungs. He felt like the world was closing in on him. “You’re lying”.
Wells smiles and pulls a picture out of his pocket. “Does this look like I’m lying, this is a picture of you and me when I was a little boy”.
Eddie squeezes his eyes shut, tears falling down his face. “So Barry is your other father”.
Eobard frowns. “God No! I’m afraid you don't even get the guy in my future dad. Or this one”.
Eddie tilts his head. “What are you talking about?”
“No, Cisco gets the guy” Eobard says standing up. “He marries Barry, not you. Seems in any timeline Cisco and Barry and doomed for each other. You are better off without him anyway”.
“You’re lying” Eddie breathes.
“Observe, if you will, the byline”.
Eddie’s face twists in confusion. “Who is Jacob Allen?”
“That is Cisco and Barry’s first born son” he says. “Oldest of 4”.
“Imagine when I see you for the first time in this timeline and you knew Barry and come to find out he is in love with you” Eobard chuckles at the memory. “Then watching you two grow into a relationship. My father and my worst enemy”.
“Weird right?” he says to Eddie, who can’t even look him in the face.
“But the strangest thing was listening to Barry vent to me about how he altered the timeline and in that alter time he made love……to Cisco. How he was confused about his feelings because he was drawn to him”.
Eobard looked at Eddie who faced was covered in tears. “Trust me dad, I did you a favor”.
“I’m not your father, your lying” Eddie screams. “I would never let my child be the monster you’ve become”.
Wells tilts his head and laughs which makes Eddie furious because that’s all he been doing. “Maybe, but your dead”.
Wells stood up and walked back to what he was working on. “Dead?” Eddie whispers.
Wells turns around and smirks. “But don’t worry, I won’t let it happen again”.
