Some secrets are better left unsaid [Thunder]

Prison this time around was much, much more comfortable for Thundershock compared to the time he had been detained by the anti quirkers of the military. back then they had him in shackles that syphoned his electrical power, even when he wasn't actively using it. All to fuel a rail gun that would later be used against other quirkers. This time however, Thunder was actually locked in what looked like an elegant white room. Instead of bars, the front was a solid pane of glass reinforced with a faraday cage. Other then that, Thunder was allowed to walk freely inside, no shackles, no guards. Just a man alone with his thoughts. At least, that's what the guards believed.

That was probably the reason that they allowed this boy to so freely walk into the prison and show him to Thundershock's cell. It was interesting, as most those that tried to come and see him were reporters, some of him undercover agents, Pro heroes trying to get some form of information from him. But never a child.

Thundershock was leaning back on the bed provided to him, arms behind his head as he rested, staring at the ceiling with a rather bored expression on his face. Even when Eli arrived with such a lame greeting, the man only graced him with the slight movement of his eyes to acknowledge his presence, before looking back up to the ceiling in silence.

'Do you remember Melissa Bantis?'
Thundershock raised an eyebrow as he honestly had never heard the name before. At least, this woman hadn't made enough of an impression on him for him to remember her. He still didn't respond to Eli, remaining where he was as if he was ignoring every word that came out of Eli's mouth. However, When Eli corrected the woman's last name to Dougan, the older man's head shifted. He looked towards the glass separating him from the boy on the other side and was soon paying attention to every word coming out of his mouth.

The boy claimed to be his offspring, but Thunder knew for a fact that he had never gotten Melissa pregnant back then. The girl had been interesting enough to a younger Thundershock, but when their relations failed to bear fruit, any interest he had in her faded and he had swiftly moved onto another interest. If what this boy said was true, then Melissa had hidden her pregnancy from him, hidden the boy's birth from him as well. For a moment, Thunder's eye darkened as he let out a sigh and pushed himself up to that he was sitting down, turning to be at the edge of his bed.

"Listen brat. I've got more offspring then I can count. If you expected this kind of confession to rattle me, you're gravely misinformed."
He said simply, though his words were cut short as Eli told him about being a student at U.A, and how he was going to put a stop to everything he had build. Thundershock could only scoff at that statement, laughter bursting forth as he pushed himself to his fee t. Thunder would then walk over the glass separating himself and the young blond boy, a vicious grin on his face as he looked down at the boy who claimed to be his son.

"You really are a foolish child aren't you? U.A only stands because I allow to. Besides, many of my bastards have attended U.A. In fact, I'm sure you've become so buddy buddy with at least one of them. And let me reassure you, that they don't all share your views. Go on, portray your bravado boy, but if you truly are my son, then there is a great darkness in you. You might not see it now, but once you grow up big enough to not need a babysitter anymore, you'll see it~ My work won't look so appalling to you then~"
He reassured him with a cruel smile on his face. He wasn't sure he believed this kid in the first place. What did he have to gain from coming here and telling him that the boy was his son? Was he just out to seek confirmation that this was the truth? Well, Thunder couldn't provide it from here. Only a DNA test would prove Eli's claim.
