Fine! But if you die next and I'm left alone down here, you can both rot!

[He doesn't bother to figure out where best to put his hands on Kabal, as he might anyone else he's healing; he goes for the neck, as it's just below the surface of the water, and close enough to the heart for his channel to reach it quickly.

Unfortunately, in his furious panic, he doesn't take into account that Kabal, whether dead or unconscious, is susceptible to corpse scrying. The moment Carlisle places his hands on Kabal, his eyes light up behind his glasses, his body stiffening as he views the last waking moments of the man in his grasp. He can feel the water on his limbs, the drag of his own breath, the weight of Qubit as he's slammed into — oh right, that's the real him there — and then the shock of, as he described it himself, enough volts to kill him several times over.

Carlisle responds automatically, uncontrollably. He'd meant to just give Kabal's heart a nudge, see if any of his internal organs were fried by Qubit's retaliation: what he does instead is send a torrent of magical energy through Kabal's frame, giving him a very different kind of shock than he received before. He'll have less injuries than he did, both from this incident and prior, but is he alive?

The clergyman has no idea as he releases Kabal, writhing as he backs away and into the wall, his arms curling in unadulterated pain as the healing energies counteract those animating him.]
