Drowning wasn't a pleasant thing, he decided. His cells were deciding whether or not it was time to start regenerating, and his hearts were starting to slow, and then---
Oxygen, at a combination with a good deal of nitrogen, was suddenly in his mouth. He sucked in the air greedily, not caring at first where it was coming from, only that it was there and he was breathing it.
Jack. Saving him again.
Half of him wanted to be furious, but the other half was too grateful to bother with that. His legs felt stronger, and he gave a solid kick, keeping his arms around Jack. They went up, towards the surface.
What had happened? What did that thing do to him? He tried to assess his physical changes, but the limited air in his system kept him from fully sorting exactly what had happened. He didn't feel ill, but that didn't mean he was safe.
He broke the surface and took in another breath of air.
