Haley's POV

I stared at dad in wonder as he told me a story about another Flames Pond adventure. Flames Pond is a secret agent who goes on daring missions, has cool fire power, and his nemesis is a talking yellow puppet. This adventure took place where Flames was trapped by his nemesis the Fuzzy Guy. He hung by chains that were tied to his feet and he hung over an active volcano.

"....and just when the Fuzzy Guy released the agent who was now falling to his death," dad explained, "Flames Pond could do nothing. His enemy had taken away his fire power, his walkie talkie and weapons. The agent was helpless! As the handsome agent fell through the air at one hundred miles per hour towards the volcano and as the lava came closer and closer he yelled at the top of his lungs 'FLAMES POND NEVER DIES!!!' and-"

"And what, daddy?" I asked while climbing on his lap, "what happens to Flames Pond?"

Dad looked at me with his brown eyes through his black glasses and he smiled.

"That, my dear, is for another day" he said as he kissed my forehead and hugged me.

I frowned. "But I wanna know what happens!!" I wined, "please continue the story!!"

Dad raised his eyebrow at me which made little wrinkles on his forehead. I laughed and he made a shocked face at me.

"It's not nice to laugh at your father," he said in a weird voice.

I laughed harder and dad started tickling me. I tickled him back and we both laughed until we cried. We controlled our giggles and I jumped down from his lap.

"Daddy do a magic trick with the fire again!" I said

He stood up from the chair and ran his figures through his longish brown hair and readjusted his glasses. Then he eyed me in a mysterious way and scratched his bearded face.

"A magic trick you say?" Dad said. I nodded my head. , "then a magic trick you shall get."

I smiled as I watched dad make a ball of fire appear in his hand. He smiled at me as he blew it and it dispersed into red,orange and yellow butterflies that fluttered around the room. I watched in amazement as the room was full of butterflies that made everything glow in a soft red light. I reached out to catch one, when my hand touched it, it burned my hand and part of my arm and all of the butterflies exploded. It was so sudden that I stood there processing what happened. When I realized that the butterflies were gone, I started crying. Dad rushed over and picked me up.

"Aw Haley shh. Shh let me see your hand," dad said.

I showed him my burnt hand. I had a second degree burn all over my hand and halfway up my arm. I now hate butterflies. Dad frowned, kissed it, and we went to mom who was in the kitchen. She saw me crying and asked,

"Adam what'd you do to her?"

"I did a magic trick with fire and-"

Mom's eyes grew wide and an angry expression was on her face. She snatched me from dad, looked at my wounds and she glared at him. Dad had a frown on his face and I cried harder as I knew daddy would be locked out of the house until tomorrow morning. Mom does that whenever he does something she doesn't like or whenever I get hurt and it's his fault.

"Adam Randal Young you know how I hate it when you do....magic it's not safe! You could burn the whole house down if you're not careful!" Mom said with her voice rising into a yell.

Dad's frown deepened if that's even possible and I saw him give mom puppy dog eyes.

Adam's POV

I stood there pleading silently to Brielle to let me stay inside tonight. It was an accident and I meant for it to be harmless. My daughter was still crying buckets of tears and she was pleading too. I happened to look at her arm and the burn was slowly going away.

"Bri set Haley down now!" I said loudly

She listened and we stared at our daughter. The burn was gone a few minuets later and Haley stopped crying. She stared at us and asked what happened. I lied and I told her that it was part of my magic trick. There's no way on this Earth I'd tell her that I'm Flames Pond, a retired agent. I readjusted my glasses once more and I decided that it's worth a shot to tell her the truth. I crouched down and she came to me.

"Sweetie, I'm really the agent Flames Pond," I said.

Haley smiled and laughed.

"No you're not daddy! You're a musician who goes by the name Owl City," she said happily.

The words Owl City echoed in my ears and I also heard evil laughter in my head. I screamed in agony and sank to my knees. Brielle got Haley away from me. My screams intensified and Haley still thought I was playing so she ripped my glasses of my face and laughed again. My vision went from crystal clear and seeing human beings to seeing the forms of my wife and daughter as big white blobs and everything else was either a dark green or dark blue. Haley's laughter echoed in my ears and the red words, "Emergency detected. Contacting home base and sending reinforcements." Flashed before my eyes.

"No!" I shouted into my ear piece thats permanently there, "do not send reinforcements! I repeat do not send reinforcements!"

There was static and a female voice picked up on the other end.

"Huh. I never thought I'd hear from you again Agent Pond-"

I grew angry as the words before my eyes started flashing.

"Oh for goodness sake shut up Suzan!" I yelled at her, "I'm fine and do not-"

"Yeah yeah do not send reinforcements. Got it," she said, "Good day Agent Pond."

The words suddenly disappeared and Suzan stopped talking. Even though the words were gone, I still saw white blobs and dark green and dark blue stuff. I forced myself to reach out my hand, which in my vision, appeared yellow and I tried to grab Haley but she ran away. I started crying when I saw a clear image of me falling towards the lava. I saw me hit the lave, get burned badly then wake up in a dark room. I saw darkness and I felt cold air and I knew I was in a cave and the me in the vision was huddled in a corner sobbing. I suddenly felt so alone and so scared that I plotted against the agency. I was eighteen then. I'm twenty-eight now. I saw another vision of me getting operated on at the agency, Owl City. I was burned badly and they were doing something to my eyes. I also saw other vision to horrifying to describe.

Out of nowhere, the vision disappeared and I struggled for air as someone placed my glasses back on and I saw Brielle beside me. I was still struggling for air, it was like something was choking me.

"Agent," Brielle said in a whisper, "what's your real name and code name? It's okay to say it. Our daughter is outside with her friend Kathleen."

"M-my name is Adam Randal Young," I said in a low whisper, "and m-my code name is Flames P-Pond."

Brielle smiled and the choking feeling went away. A soft groan burst from my chest as I stopped choking. I gasped for air while laying on the ground. After I was rescued from being in the cave with the Fuzzy Guy, they messed with my vision since I was blind. I now have to wear glasses twenty-four seven and special contact lenses for when I sleep. Whenever my glasses or contact lens are removed, it automatically calls in to the agency saying that I'm being attacked and sends reinforcements. I also have a headset permanently in my ear incase I have to contact home or the agency. I never used the things until now and it's been ten years since I've been an agent. I sighed heavily and I got to my feet with Brielle's help.

"What happened?" She asked.

Brielle walked over and hugged me. She didn't answer and she led me into the den where I sat on the couch. Brielle sat beside me. I held her hand and I told her what I saw, these were things she never knew about me.
