Hands were suddenly there, first ripping off huge chunks of her armor with surprising strength and then as she struggled, as she started to lose consciousness, gently grasping the sides of her face.

He wasn't going to let her die like this, panicking underwater, her hair fanning out like a morbid halo, just inches away from him.

There wasn't time to coax her to breathe out, not before she did it involuntarily and started choking down water so Raph decided to take things into his own hands.

His face hovering just an inch away from hers, he kneed her in the gut, not enough to be painful, but for enough for her to be forced to breathe out, and before she could breathe in again, he clamped his mouth over hers, made a tight seal and breathed out so she could draw his air into her lungs.

Not only was he pretty sure he probably had a bigger lung capacity, even on half a lungful of air, he could manage for almost fifteen minutes. With no air, he could probably manage at least ten. His body was made for being underwater without air and that probably meant that the air in his lungs was still mostly good to breathe, too.
