Erick Thawne was brought into this world not by mistake but by chance..he didn't ask for this, he never wanted to be someone who was hated for his father's actions. Yet not everyone saw him that way..
Eobard just stands there with a calmed expression on his face as Erick runs his hands through his hair and takes a deep breath calming himself down..he's here for a reason and the sooner he finishes asking what he wants to know the sooner he can leave and never come back as he remembers how this all happened..how he hated the man standing in front of him..
-Flashback/10 Years Ago-
It was dark..it was damp..his bones felt so very sore, his vision was blurry..
He just wanted it to end..he wanted all of the pain to end, to be put out like a flame..but HE wouldn't let him. It was a constant struggle to keep going
As a young Erick laid on the cold ground curled into a ball, his body was shivering..trembling..
A large metal door is slowly opened as Erick barely managed to look up as he recognized who it was, the one responsible for him being here..his father; Eobard Thawne..
Eobard made his way to a shivering Erick as he kneeled down and brushed his hand against his son's head
Eobard:Hmm..not what I was expecting but it'll have to do
He pulls out a syringe from his jacket as Erick's eyes widen in absolute fear as he furiously begins to squirm trying to get away from this monster but Eobard doesn't take this lightly as he practically drags Erick through the cold cemented ground and forcefully makes him face him
Eobard:I'm doing this for you Erick, to make you stronger than ever..don't worry you'll appreciate this someday
He sticks the needle into Erick's arm as he muffled a cry of immense pain, his body violently shook as Eobard got back up and walked out of the room and closed door behind him as he walked down the hallway all he heard were the cries of agony and pain..
At the age of 13, Erick's powers had finally began manifesting, he knew this was his chance to finally escape from the clutches of this madman. And yet every attempt no matter how grand or small was foiled, time and time again..
The farthest he had ever gotten was into the hallway..he only knew two places his entire life. That cold room..and the hallway; it was practically his home..his sick twisted fucked up home..
-End of Flashback-
"I am not the same defenseless kid I was back then..you stayed in the past so obsessed trying to be something your not, but me? I've moved on..yeah my life isn't as joyful but it is my life and I decide who I get to be *points at Eobard* not you!!"
The door to the room opens as the guard comes back in
Guard:Your time is up
A small smirk is seen as Eobard looks back at his son as Erick sighs in frustration
Eobard:You came here to ask me questions yet all you did was rant, you were so emotional..
The guard starts to lead Erick out of the room but he stops before leaving and asks
"Did you ever even care about me?"
But instead of getting an answer, Eobard simply turns around and walks further into his cell turning his back to Erick
"I thought so.."
And with that they finally leave as the metal door closes behind them

Erick stands inside of his apartment as he walks over to his couch and sits down, as he leans up a bit as a single tear rolls down his face
