Hey There Genie{•ON HOLD•}

Taking care of you 🐙

Caitlin gently toweled the brunette off after his quick bath. If the man wasn't in so much pain he might've been embarrassed with the woman seeing him naked. His clothes were ruined with how much blood he loss and he didn't have much else to wear.

She took the blanket and tucked it around his waist before taking another and draping it over his body. The lady at the desk was very kind and let her sneak into a small room 'free of charge'. Whatever that meant.

"I'm gonna have to get you some new clothes,"she whispered to him stroking his damp hair out of his eye.

"Don't leave,"he whimpered.

He trembled against her touch, he looked completely exhausted. Caitlin couldn't help but think this was all her fault. "I won't be gone long Barr, but we need supplies and your in no shape to be moved."

At that he didn't respond just gave a tired yawn. His wounds definitely needed medical attention, which wasn't possible seeming as though he's wanted for murder.

She smiled down at him hesitantly she reached down to drop a gentle kiss to his forehead. She had learn that it was a gesture of comfort between humans. "If you need me just call,"and with that she was gone.

Ahh, the store. Somewhere along the way she wished she and Barry would've had time to explore. Because looking over this place she seemed a bit out of place.

"Welcome to Rue-21 can I help you with something?,"a pretty blue eyed women smiled at her.

"Uhm yes my name is Caitlin...can you tell me where I am?"

The lady giggled,"We're at the mall silly."

"Right! Yes, well can you point me to some men's clothing. I'm shopping for a friend."

"Of course it is almost that time of year again."

Caitlin didn't know what she meant by that but she didn't have have time to figure out either.

"So what is your friends style?"

"Barry, is kind of a nerd. What do nerds wear?,"Caitlin flicked through the clothes.

"How bout we go with a stylish nerd look?,"the women grinned holding up a bottom down and a thick coat to beat the cold whether.

"That's perfect,"Caitlin laughed along with the women.

Checking out all the items she had added was a different story. "Okay so how will you be paying today. Cash or card."

"Hmm?,"Caitlin's eyes widening in a doe eyed look. "You do have money do you?,"She asked.

"About that...,"Caitlin trailed off.

"It's fine-I'll pay for it,"She looked down long brown hair falling in her face.

"Are you sure? I mean I would never ask that of you." Why was everyone being so nice to her? It's this the way of the humans?

"You didn't, I offered,"she was bagging up the outfit and setting it on the counter.

"That's awfully kind of you. Thank you this means a lot."

"No problem."

Caitlin gave a short wave and smile as she turned on her heels.

"Caitlin,"a voice called out to her.

She turned back to the shorter women who held out a small piece of paper to her.

She looked down at it and frowned.

804-812-1467
Carmella.

"See you around Caitlin."

"See you around..."

Barry whimpered himself awake his wound was aching and it felt as if it were bleeding again.

"Cait...,"he gasped. She said she'd be here if he called.

"Caity's not home right now,"a deep voice startled him even more. Without thinking he turned around just to get forced back down to the bed, he tried to buck away from the person, only said person was all the way across the room.

He walked over and crouched next to the bed, looking over Barry's teary eyes.

"You're him aren't you? Rogue?,"Barry gasped out.

"Glad the names gotten around,"he arched his brow, what was so frickin' amusing about this? Barry clenched his jaw the searing hot burn in his stomach was getting to be unbearable.

"Now I see what Caitlin sees. You're not all that bad looking,"he trailed a sharp finger down Barry's thin chest stopping just above where the blanket ending,"If I was interested in men, I'd definitely go for you."

Barry nearly loss the lunch that he didn't have.

"You certainly have potential."

"Potential for what?"

"To become that hero that I see in your future."

Rogue leant back a little the shadows engulfing his features once more, leaving distorted red eyes behind and a thrashing Barry in his wake.

"What are you doing to me?!"

"Oh come on Barry you knew this was coming. Or maybe Caitlin neglected to mention your demise,"he clicked his teeth and sighed.

Before Rogue could amp up the pain there was crack over his head and the sound of glass shattering. Caitlin silhouette was sharp in the darkness, and the invisible hold slackened enough for Barry to sit up completely.

"Are you alright?,"Caitlin grabbed his cheeks pulling him close so she could examine him.

He pushed her away, not giving Caitlin a chance to look hurt because the fist that was about to knock her down connected with Barry's jaw instead.

Barry slumped on to the bed and Rogue picked him up throwing him over his shoulder.

"Rogue so help me-,"she was cut of when her body collided against the wall.

"For what it's worth I'm sorry Caitlin it didn't have to be this way."

"Rogue don't you dare...don't you take
him. Alec dont you dare take him from me,"she tried to break free desperately but it was no use.

She had let Barry and her family down.
