Next through the opening came Gabrielle, she looked disoriented and confused which added to her panic. Slade knew if she didn’t calm she would not make it. He quickly went for her and surrounded her body with his hoping his presence could calm her. Slade could tell she didn’t get a good breath of air and was drowning. He hoped no one was looking when he grabbed her mouth with his and breathed air into her lungs. His lips met hers but it didn’t feel right, it felt wrong, it felt bad, he almost wanted to continue to find out but stopped when he felt a hand grab his should and spin him. Gargan was treading water, grabbed Gabrielle, and swam even faster towards the surface. Slade just stayed there a moment, not sure, if he was frozen cause of the kiss or from Gargan showing care for someone else. He shook his head clear knowing this was no time to contemplate life mysterious questions. He started his swim to the surface knowing he had a minute or so before his body grew weak from the lack of oxygen. He trained his body not to get the panic that came from being low on air. The downside of that was it was the only way the body warned you from drowning.
