Stuck in the middle with you [CLOSED]

When he comes to himself, Peter cannot see. He gasps into awareness, his own breath rasping loudly in his ears, and it takes him several moments of straining to understand that he is not blinded but blindfolded. His wrists are heavy when he reaches up to tear away the cloth tied over his eyes, and when one stops partway to his face, halted by tension, he realizes that he has been chained. Hurriedly, almost panicking, he yanks off the blindfold with the hand that can reach to find himself blinking in the dim light of a stone room.

On either side of him is a man in a similar predicament, one of Peter's wrists connected to one of the wrists of each by a chain about two feet long. Each man's other wrist is chained in turn to a bolt in the crumbling walls of either side of the cell, and each is similarly blindfolded -- or was. Peter recognizes both of them as he turns his head back and forth to stare at each in disbelief -- first Seth on his right and then on his left --

"Oh, come on!"

Seth is jerked awake by being quite literally jerked awake. He looks up in confusion, realises he can't actually see anything, then realises why. He struggles for a moment to get the blindfold off, confused why his arms will only reach partway and he has to lean towards his own hand to manage it. Getting the blindfold off answers a few questions, but raises a whole lot more.

'Oh come on' is a pretty apt reaction. Seth is so done waking up (if you can even use that phrase) locked in rooms in dreams. This is the third time in a very short span, and it is frustrating as hell. Two upsides, though: It's not the rebel base, and he's not alone.

Although that last one is sort of a mixed blessing, considering who it is chained to him. For a moment he just stares at the two of them, dumbfounded.
