I wake to find myself in a cave. I look around and see a man sitting near a small fire, shivering. I sit up and notice him as the man I saw before I lost conciousness, my head drops down to look at my wound only to find a large bandage wrapped around me with a little blood on it from my wound. I look back up at the man who is staring at me.

"W-.. Who are you?"

The man shifts slightly and clears his throat. "I'm SeaNanners, but you can call me Adam." He whispers, his voice cracking slightly; I tilt my head at him.

"You don't sound too good..." I say, concern in my voice for the man who had, no doubt, saved me. The man looks down and swallows hard, then I realize he's thirsty, dehydrated, parched. I quickly stand and go to the entrance of the cave, looking out to see I'm not far from home, so I jump in the water and morph into my shark form. Then I swim quickly to my small underwater home and, using my mouth, I grab a small net and knock a few bottles of clean, salt free water that I also have to occasionally drink. I start to head back, when I see divers below in the buildings still. They look frantic, worried, but now isn't the time to investigate. I swim back to the small cave, morph back into myself and jump up into the cave, the man shivering by the fire. I go over and hand him the net with several bottles of the clean water and he takes it, whispering a weak thank you.

"W- Why haven't you killed me yet?...." I ask softly as he takes a large swig of the water, then looks at me with sad eyes.

"Y-.." His voice gives and he clears his throat again, trying to get it back, but having no such luck. The man shivers more and hugs himself close, his knees against his chest; I go over to him and motion to the cave floor beside him, he makes a half shoulder shrug before shivering again. I plop down on the cave floor next to him and feel the warmth of the fire, as well as the lack of warmth from Adam. I look at him and hold my arms out for him, my temperature way higher than his at this current moment.

"You need to obtain some warmth or else you'll freeze Adam." I say, nodding at him once. Adam hesitantly moves into my arms and for a while I hold him while his shivering becomes less. I eventually look down to see he's asleep in my arms and smiling, I smile at seeing his smile and reach my hand to his face, gently brushing dust from the cave off his face. I start to doze off as well, when I hear someone behind me. I look back and see the other divers, my eyes widening as I see their weapons drawn and aimed at me.
