Dean had had enough of trying to figure a way off this planet. He'd been there a several months and each day had just been an exercise in futility. The highlight had been meeting his brother Sam, a Sam from his future. They'd caught up, gotten into a sort of rhythm, had drinks and generally began to get on the same page. He had to admit it had been good realizing he wasn't as by himself as he'd always felt himself to be.

He was still not used to this inability to hunt monsters, kick ass and save lives the way he'd done for so long. He found himself punching holes in the walls of his bedroom almost every night when the frustration and his aggression got so pent up he couldn't contain it anymore.

That was why he was there standing on the edge of the indoor pool. Everyone seemed to be off doing activities of an active sort outside. It was easy to avoid most of them, and the possibility of going off the deep end in front of others, if he was in here. And the swimming would help. Maybe he would feel like interacting with people later on in the evening. Have a few brews with his brother. Maybe finally make a few friends too.

Tossing his towel on a chair that sat poolside, he peeled off his shirt and threw it after the towel. He glanced around the room, half hoping someone might be around. If someone joined him he could push himself harder, faster to compete. That would burn off a few more layers of frustration. But there didn't seem to be anyone nearby so after one long gaze at the jewel-like blue of the water, he took a deep breath and dove from the deep end. Cutting the water with clean strides, he began swimming long, even laps.
