So this headcanon for Anon, turned into a proper near Drabble, but it is a sensitive topic so I at least wanted to tag it first for everyone.

*mentions of sexual abuse, nothing graphic, just referenced*
OOUFF, he’d be absolutely livid. To the point where he just becomes the sort of quiet that’s more menacing than you thought possible. But, it’s not directed towards you. He’s protective and gentle with you in a way that nearly takes you off guard in its sincerity. A rare moment in which his character as Harrison Wells and as Eobard Thawne are perfectly aligned in a genuine desire to protect you, and to make whoever hurt you suffer.
If you told him he’d silently pull you close and whisper against your hairline “They’re never going to hurt you again....or anyone.”
And he wouldn’t be lying.
If he found out on his own by accident, or maybe suspicion, he wouldn’t make you say what happened or ask why you hadn’t said anything. He wouldn’t pry because you had already been through enough, but he would allow a certain gentleness to show through his subtle actions towards you. Routine greetings and questions of courtesy like, “how are you?” take on another level of sincerity, with a gentle touch on your arm and a lingering, concerned note to his gaze when you meet his eyes.
If you lived with them, he’d likely buy you your own apartment immediately, no questions asked. (If you two weren’t already about living with each other )
Once you were out of any immediate harm, he would plan out some way to not just kill your abuser, but make them properly suffer.
He would absolutely monologue to the abuser, make them admit what they had done, and then kill them. He might stage it so it seemed like the abuser abandoned the family of their own accord so you would not have to be subjected to the police questioning about a homicide that could only lead to more painful experiences. He wants to minimize additional damage and keep you safe.
You may even believe this story at first too, until a mysterious visit from a man in yellow. You were scared when he appeared, thinking it was part of your team’s efforts against him. But that feeling might turn into something very different as he’d simply say
“No one’s going to hurt you anymore. I promise you that.”
and suddenly you’re unsure what to think about the man in yellow anymore.
