themaninthelightning: “You’ll come to find that forgiveness often comes with understanding,” Eobard countered. His movements were slow and controlled, as he closed the distance between them, knocked it down to two feet, then one. “I’m here to ask you, again, how you were affected by the explosion of my particle accelerator.” “Well, that may neverContinue reading “Meaner Than Your Demons”

Meaner Than Your Demons
themaninthelightning: You lied to me. The first thought that sprang to Eobard’s mind, that nearly slipped past his lips. Fury simmered underneath every word. But beneath that rage–deep, deep beneath–laid panic and regret, two ugly twins that he was desperate to ignore. Panic helped nobody, and regret has never gained him anything good. With difficulty,Continue reading “Meaner Than Your Demons”
Meaner Than Your Demons
themaninthelightning: @fransciscoramon Eobard knew he was pushing himself too hard: cold, bruised, and exhausted, and it all added up to slow him down. But he had to know. He had to talk to Cisco. When he had a thought going around and around in his head like this, he could not possibly stop until he’dContinue reading “Meaner Than Your Demons”
themaninthelightning: fransciscoramon: “I assume you have the same number? I’ll text you once I find that chair of yours.” Cisco said, rolling his eyes at what he was doing for the man that almost ruined his whole life. “Is that so? Catch ya on the flip side, Thawne.” “I don’t have a phone. Being erasedContinue reading
themaninthelightning: Eobard stopped at the door and turned. When he smiled, it was more a baring of teeth than a grin. Ridiculous and petty as it was, the ordeal with Caitlyn had left him more sensitive to these jabs, however well-deserved they were. “I let you get close. You, more than anyone in this time.”Continue reading
themaninthelightning: He rolled his eyes as he turned to leave. “Believe me, I am more than aware of how little trust you place in me. There are others you can confide in.” Eobard chose to walk rather than run, still exhausted from the fight with Caitlyn. “Oh, and one last thing? Keep a close eyeContinue reading
themaninthelightning: Eobard bit at his lip. Cisco was finally smiling in his presence again, but he couldn’t assume that meant anything good. “That’s good to hear. You’ve always been very smart. And I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you to be careful, and to be alert. If you do notice any changes…” CiscoContinue reading
themaninthelightning: “Uh? I meant, in general, changes.” Eobard stalled, wondering how much he dared to say. It was possible something had already happened to Cisco, but he thought it was just as likely that nothing ever would. However, he’d roused Cisco’s curiosity, which meant a temporary lapse in hostility from the younger man. Eobard cavedContinue reading
themaninthelightning: Eobard’s brow furrowed. He knew, from checking the S.T.A.R. Labs databases, that nothing had been invented that could slow him down. And Cisco didn’t have any powers–unless… Ignoring both Cisco’s question and his demand, Eobard asked, “Have you noticed any changes in yourself lately?” He suspected that Cisco had been affected by the particleContinue reading
themaninthelightning: “Don’t be so… self-righteous. She forced my hand. Try not to repeat her mistake.” It would have been easier to just tell Cisco he hadn’t harmed her, but he was too hurt and angry to even try. As he stood, he pocketed the USB he’d plugged into the computer, not caring if Cisco sawContinue reading
