[If he pulls his helmet off, it's suicide. He's just as doomed as she is. Human beings can't survive in the vacuum of space -- that's the first thing anyone learns. But Diana was adamant she wasn't entirely human. Maybe there's a chance for her...]
[His arms tighten around her shoulders, securing her. There's not much time. He's just got to kick the jets on. Get momentum and go back the way they'd come -- back to oxygen. The door is going to be a problem.]
I got you -- I got you, don't worry.
[He doesn't even know if she can hear him, there's no sound in a vacuum and she doesn't have a helmet, but the urgent litany of words doesn't hesitate. It's going to be all right, it has to be all right. They're not losing anyone else.]

[One arm, his right arm, loosens its grip, grasping for the door with glowing fingers. Making a handhold where there was none. Fingers walking across the surface until he can jam them into the seal. And pull. The armor's jets firing in counterpoint. One arm around her, the other wrenching the door open enough to push her through.]
[Falling beside her as the door closes. Trying to check her pulse.]
