Drowning (IronPanther)

Can I get like an IronPanther where maybe Tony is drowning and T'Challa is trying to save him and T'Challa loves his Ukatana, please?    Yup

T'Challa's Pov:

"Ok...I think we won." Clint said sitting down.

"Everyone ok?" Steve asked.

"I'm good," Natasha said.

"Guy's Tony's not answering," Bruce said and I felt my stomach twist with worry.

"Stark?" Steve asked.

"Where was he last?" Clint asked scanning the sky.

"I'll look in the sky," Thor said twirling his hammer and taking off.

"We'll find him," Sam said and took off.

"He's never done this before," Clint said.

"Guy's...I found out what happened to Stark." Bruce said sounding scared.

"What?" Clint asked.

"He's...in the lake," Bruce said and I felt sick. Tony was terrified of water...

"What?" Clint asked. I took off running toward the lake, not even second-guessing myself when I dived in. I swam till I saw the blue light and Ironman armor. I could tell he was trying to pry the suit off and was panicking. I grabbed him but realized the suit was not going anywhere. I frowned and pulled at the metal. Tony shoved me away making me wonder what was going on in his mind. I had an idea and swam up to get more air. I swam back down to see Tony no longer struggling. I pulled at the faceplate and he started to move again. I broke it open and saw wide brown eyes filled with fear. It's ok...I'm going to get you out of this.

Tony's Pov:

T'Challa was back and pulling at my mask. The suit was filled with water and my lungs were burning for oxygen. He broke the faceplate and I tried pulling on the release again but it wouldn't budge. I cursed and froze when a hand touched my cheek. I looked at T'Challa and he pressed his lips against mine making me gasp. He was giving me air...He pulled away and was pulling on my suit more...He is risking his life to save you...Come on. I pulled more and T'Challa left me again...He's going to drown with me...No one would care if I drowned...Except maybe Pepper and Rhodey...T'Challa...A lot of people would miss him, He's a damn king. I was panicking more now knowing what my brain was trying to tell me.

A choice...I drown...Or we both drown. I felt my lungs burning and my eyes would be watering if I wasn't at the bottom of a lake...T'Challa was in front of me again and tried to help me but I shoved him away. Go...Save yourself, T'Challa. He tried again and I swatted at his hands glaring at him. I couldn't read his expression as I tried more than gave up...I was going to drown...I felt a hand on my chin making me look at him. Don't you dare! I'm not taking us both down. His lips were on mine but I refused to open them. The kiss suddenly changed into a soft desperate one. I shoved him away and he tried helping me out of the suit again.

"Go!" I snapped releasing all the air I had left. T'Challa looked at me as I glared at him. He shook his head no and I frowned...The only way for him to leave...I was already dying from lack of air. I was dizzy and black spots danced in my eyes. I took in a breath suddenly and his eyes widened. I felt it get into my lungs making me gasp and god this was awful. Drowning was awful! Everything was turning black and T'Challa was still trying to help when I felt the armor suddenly burst open...Well, most of it. The parts that clung were damaged...T'Challa grabbed me and I smiled at him knowing he didn't see it as the darkness suddenly spread...

T'Challa's Pov:

I pulled at the faceplate hoping that would work and was happy to finally see it break off. I looked at those fearful brown eyes I watched as he struggled more. I touched his cheek and his eyes snapped up to meet mine. I leaned in pressing my lips to his and as soon as his mouth opened I pushed air in. I tried pulling at his suit trying to get it to give so I could get his head above water...Don't die, Tony...You can't leave me. I swam up as soon as I saw Tony struggling with the suit again.
