The sensation of being smothered was the first thing he awoke to.
Fury's eyes snapped open, his throat clogging up suddenly with water. Pressure on all sides made him want to scream, to claw at the unseen force pressing him down, but nothing was there. Opening his mouth only made more water pour forth. Clumsily, he reached around, finding a solid rock wall. Focusing all his power to his feet, he pushed off from the ground, rocketing upwards as fast as he could go. Bubbles frothed from his mouth, his head pounding, his legs kicking, getting ever closer to the light above.
His head nearly exploded from the surface, and he immediately inhaled a lungful of air. Light was all around, and he had to squint to see. Waves splashed at his face, blue in all directions. It was a vast, endless sea. Who had stranded him out here? His mind raced to find an answer, coming up blank. He couldn't think for too long though, because he had to stay aloft. His arms thrashed quickly, trying to keep his head away from the deep. But he couldn't remember it being so difficult to breathe before. His lungs hurt. He felt pain, fear. But most of all, he felt infuriated.
"AhhhhHHGh!" He screamed, but that just made his lungs hurt more.
Fury groaned, unable to do anything else as another wave rolled forth. Hadn't he been bigger before? Why did he feel so small? It just made him angrier. Gritting his teeth, he kicked at the waves harder, so that his torso popped out a little further up.
Hopefully someone was out here. Either to fight or get help, he wasn't really caring at the moment.
