"Damn I'm hungry,"Barry groaned. They were on the road again seeming as though Barry only had enough to book for one day.
"You know you could always make a wish-."
"No, save your strength, your going to have to fight that...whatever he is."
Caitlin looked away avoiding eye contact on all accounts,"It's my job as a Genie to grant your wishes I have yet to live up to my name."
"None of that will matter if you can't beat him,"Barry held his side.
"You alright?,"Caitlin questioned worriedly.
"I'm fine. Speaking of the him, you never told me who it is that's after us."
Caitlin fidgeted playing with the edge of her hair,"I-I told you I didn't know."
"You said his name like you knew him."
Caitlin crossed her arms and sighed,"They call him The Rogue Jinn. He unexpectedly woke up one day while we were in hibernation. He lived in the vase by himself for fifty whole years before anybody actually woke up. Time in the vase is much different from yours. Everyday is a year. Do the math."
Barry sat quietly trying to process what he had just learned.
"Somewhere deep down I believe he did what he did because it was the only way out. He just wanted to be free."
"You seemed like you knew him. You know, personally."
"Uh no, my homeland is just a small town. Everyone knows everyone."
"Is that-,"Barry paused as he doubled over in pain.
"Barry are you alright, what is it?"
"No...no it's fine it's just. Aaah,"he collapsed to his knees holding his side.
"Barry!,"Caitlin yelled trying to get him to come around.
As Barry laid on the ground crying out for help, Caitlin spotted something. Her enhanced eyes focused in a on red dripping off of a billboard sign.
The flesh of the corpse was craved into just like all the other ones, though this one was clearly much older if the spiders crawling all through it was anything to go by.
The body might be old but the blood was fresh.
"The vase. Or he's next."
Caitlin looked back at Barry over her shoulder in anguish. What the hell was she going to do?
