Jack's Swim Class

There were some days when Kon wasn't exactly sure what he was doing, helping Jack run a swim class when there weren't enough students to really tax one person. Then again, helping Jack was definitely fun. He was a cool kind of guy and every chance that Kon had to go swimming, he'd take. Especially since it meant that actually got to use those lifeguarding skills he'd learned from class. Today was pretty much like every other day. He watched people swim, he offered advice, he got into the water to actually show by example.

And when he had a spare minute, he thought about Lex. Lex, who'd held a gun on him and Anatoly for no reason that he could figure. Was that it? Was that really what turned the guy he was beginning to think of as, god forbid, family into the one who'd created him and turned him into something that would hurt his best friends?

Even if it wasn't him going crazy...what was it? It was enough to drive him to distraction and it took him a minute to look up. "Did I hear my name?"
