TTIPF
7. You dream of hanging of a ledge in the future, being attacked by mercreatures, while your adorable flat-mate tells you he can't let you go because he loves you. 3

5. You wonder about the deep questions in life: Why did Cutter run back for Helen? What is Sarah's idea? Who would win in a fight between Wolverine and Spiderman??
Chapter 7
They were blindfolded for hours yet, and Connor's legs had been bound together by thick bands in addition to his handcuffs so that he couldn't move as he heard Abby groaning. He supposed Danny and Becker, on either side of him, had their legs cuffed as well; they were squirming with their bonds as much as he when Abby could be heard.
Before long it was over. They were forced upwards and forwards, and Connor called out to Abby as they removed the bands from his ankles.
"I'm…I'm okay, Connor," she sputtered, though he could hear her voice tremble.
They were pushed into a car, where the close quarters pressed them in tightly in the back seat. Connor could practically hear Danny's teeth grinding down with restrained fury.
"When we get unshackled I'm breaking the leader's neck," he growled to Connor, she shook his head.
"I get first crack at that, Danny."
They were dragged back out of the car and into a building; the air was cooler than is was outside. They were dragged through until finally they were separated and Connor lost track of Abby's breath as he was tossed onto the floor beside Becker.
"Throw Quinn and the whore in with Lester," the leader's voice called; Connor thrashed furiously, knocking his head against the floor and grimacing at the pain. He felt someone kick him over and tug the bag off his head. The Leader kicked him in the jaw, sending his head spinning as his hands were released. The Leader disappeared then, and Connor let his head fall back in exhaustion.
"Temple," Becker said from beside him. Connor gritted his teeth and lifted his head, ignoring the pain. He was a woman and two girls huddled against the far wall.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Jade Lester," the woman answered lowly. "You work for my husband."
It wasn't a question. Connor nodded, and Becker pushed himself up onto his hands, cocking his head to the side.
"What does Hart want with you?"

Danny and Abby's bags were pulled from their heads and their shackles removed before they were thrown into the cell. Sarah and Lester looked up in surprise; Codi looked up from the floor where she had been ignoring the other two inhabitants of the cell.
"You're okay!" Sarah exclaimed. Abby collapsed onto the floor quietly. Danny leaned down to set a hand on her shoulder, and she jerked away at his touch, then looked up apologetically.
"It'll be okay, Abbs," he said, hoping he was being comforting as he crossed over to sit on the other side of Sarah, who switched from leaning on Lester to leaning on Danny.
"What happened?" she whispered, but Danny shook his head.
"Doesn't matter. We've got to find a way to get out of here."
Codi's ears perked up. "There's no way," she said. "I helped in the designs of these cells. They're impenetrable."
"There's got to be a way," Danny said, his eyes circling around the ceiling. "No ventilation shafts? No air conditioner? Nothing?"
"There's no break in the walls except for the door," Codi replied. "The walls don't even have a seam between them and the floor and ceiling. Nothing's supposed to get in or out. It was designed to be able to hold anyone, namely Helen."
"Instead it's holding us." Lester grimaced. "What do you suggest, Quinn?"
Danny's mouth became a thin, determined line. "We don't los hope. Stephen will have to take us out to kill us."
"Or he could wait for us to starve," Codi grimaced, her head falling into her hands. Sarah rolled her eyes.
"You're a regular glass half-full, Codi," she snapped.
