Breath:

Leonardo gasped as he burts out of the water. He was struggling to hold up the small motionless form in his arms. Normally, he had no problem lifting an adult human. But, now, he had been under water for almost an hour, which was long even for a turtle. This made him even more worried about y/n as he made swam closer to shore.
It was windy and rainy tonight, making the current in the Hudson River even stronger than normal. Thankfully, Leo was a strong swimmer, holding her up on his back as he kicked his legs behind him.
"Leo!" Michelangelo rushed over to the river's edge, followed by Rapheal and Donatello. They helped him out of the water and lifted y/n up over the fence. Leonardo didn't stop to rest, before he picked y/n up and carried her off into an alleyway, followed by his three brothers as they disappeared into the shadows.

"Donnie! You gotta help her! She's ice cold and she's not breathing!!" The eldest of the turtles practically barked at his younger brother as he hovered over y/n's seemingly lifeless form.
"Okay, okay! I've got her. You need to sit down!" Donnie's voice was almost scolding. Part of him was more worried about Leo, but knowing he cared about y/n, he was willing her help her as much as he could.
Mikey and Raph were at Leo's side, urging him to sit down as Donnie began to work on recessitating y/n.

"What happened?" It was Mikey who asked. He winced slightly from a bruise on his shin, something he had received in the fight against the Shredder and the foot.
Leo sat there, his back against the brick wall of one of the buildings on either side of the allie. He took a few deep breaths, his knees pulled up to his chest as he rests his head in his hands.
"I went after Fishface. He took off into the water and I went after him. I told her not to follow me, but he was holding me down and I couldn't get back up. We much have been fighting down there for awhile... y/n came in after me and he tried pulling her down. He was after me! He used her to try and take me with him. I got him off of her and pulled got her back up to the surface... But Fishgace got away..." he trailed off slightly towards the end, inhaling a deep breath and letting out another sigh. It was now that he looked back over to see Donnie still trying to resuscitate y/n.

"C'mon, c'mon! 1, 2, 3, 4..." He was using more force on her chest than he normally would have. Leo could see her coughing up some water, but he still couldn't tell if she was breathing.
"Donnie! Be careful, what if you're hurting her!" Leo stood up again, moving over and pushing Donatello away from his girlfriend, taking his place. He looked down at her, eyes wide with worry. She was pale, her lips turning blue both from the cold and lack of oxygen. He could hear a low gurgling sound in her throat.
He shot a frantic look at each of his brothers, then knelt down over y/n and resumed what Donnie had been doing.
He began pressing on her chest, counting each thrust. We tried to balance between pressing firmly on her ribs to stimulate her lungs, but was careful at the same time not to hurt her. The last thing she needed right now was a broken rib puncturing her heart and lungs.

"27, 28, 29, 30!" He then leant his head down, holding her mouth open with one hand as he breathed into her. After three breaths, he leant back, wanting to make sure she had some air when she comes to.
But, Leo was only met with an agonizing silence as he waited. He felt his heart sink, a pit in his stomach and a stabbing pain in his chest. His eyes were wide with horror as they started to tear up.
