Kevin finally stood, exhausted and severely shaken.  He wasn't sure he'd be able to make it back up the stairs, but he understood that there wasn't any other way.  He pulled his head from between his knees, looking considerably less green than before.  He stood, slowly, using the wall and Adele as support.  "I... can stand."  This was more for his own knowledge than hers.  Positive thoughts, right?  "I'm good."  He didn't understand everything that was going on.  He looked to Adele, finally understanding some of what had happened.<br/><br/>He coughed again, sighing with relief.  "Okay... I'm going up first."  He said, a little of his confidence returning.  He started visibly shaking again, at just the thought of it.  He spun to the stairs, and took off sprinting up it as fast as he could.  Halfway up he tripped.  Fighting not to lose too much of his momentum, he struggled up the stairs on all fours, panicked panting marking his exit from the tunnel.  He burst through the hatch, gasping, and collapsing to the floor.  He knew the others would be up momentarily, and he rolled out of the way.  He had managed to avoid thinking this time through, and wasn't as bad off for it, but he felt the need to use the restroom soon.
