Secret Agent No More. Chapter 4: A New Start
{Thoughts}

Perry jolted awake, eyes wide as he searched his cell... no, not his cell. This room was clearly not his cell.
The warm realization that he'd finally escaped from those evil humans flooded through him. A flash of pain drew his attention to his bandaged arm. It seemed his old nemesis knew a little something about dislocated shoulders, if the sling holding his arm in place was anything to go by.
Sunlight shone through the window as the teal haired man shakily got to his feet. He eyed himself in the closet-door mirror and sighed at the purple nightgown he was currently wearing. Oh well, anything was better than those lab shirts that all the experiments were forced to wear.
Every step was like walking on needles. That didn't surprise him though. After all, he had run barefoot all the way from the secret base to Dr. Doofenshmirtz's lair. Scaling the building had been tricky in his new human body, especially since he was still bleeding from ripping out that tracking device. The landing... well, that could have been better. Perry knew he was lucky to have had only a dislocated shoulder after all that.
The lit hallway was making him nervous. It was so bright. Only the labs were this bright. The cells were all dark. How long had he been trapped in that place? A year? Two? Five? It had seemed like forever.
All the experiments... all the pain... all the screams of his fellow agents... Roger... Perry felt his stomach turn from that particular memory. No, not now. He was so close to being free again. He had to keep his cool. Somehow, he had to get Dr. Doofenshmirtz to help free the others.
Resting his head against the wall, the former platypus took a few deep breaths to calm himself. His entire body ached, his nerves were shot, and his mind was starting to form shapes in the shadows of the hallway.
{Keep it together, Perry. Keep it together. You can descend into madness AFTER you rescue the others}
The light from the kitchen drew him closer, despite the shadows in his mind closing in on him.
Perry perched at the edge of the doorway, glancing around the brightly lit room for any signs of his evil nemesis... former evil nemesis. Coffee brewed away, but the human was not in the room. The teal haired man slipped into the kitchen and found himself eyeing the knife rack.
{A weapon. Need a weapon. I'll kill him if he tries to touch me again. I'll kill them all!}
The former platypus shoot his head, forcing the image from his mind. He wasn't a bloodthirsty killer. He wasn't! Now if only he could convince himself of that. The only thing that kept him going in that horrible place was the thought of once day getting free. Getting free, rescuing his fellow agents and... slaughtering all the evil humans!
'You're awake,' a different voice broke through his mental musings.
In a flash, Perry grabbed one of the knives in his good hand and spun, landing in a crouch to face the enemy. A dark churrr rumbled from his gut as he tried to focus on the intruder.
{Friend or Foe? Friend or Foe? Friend or...}
***
Vanessa gasped as the injured young man spun around, brandishing a knife at her. The former platypus' familiar churrrr sounded dark and menacing as he glared at her from across the room. His eyes... he didn't seem to recognize her at all. What if he attacked her?
'DADDY!'
***
{Yes, that's right. Dr. Doofenshmirtz has a daughter. Vanessa. She's not a threat. Put the knife down, Perry. Put it down}
Perry began to lower the weapon, but not fast enough. Less than a second later, Dr. Doofenshmirtz came racing up behind his daughter.
'What's wrong, Vanessa? I heard you scream... Perry the Platypus, what are you doing?!' Heinz yelled, staring at his former nemesis in shock.
Dark, guilt-filled eyes started back at him as the now-human Perry dropped the knife he'd been brandishing at the human girl.
'Wait, daddy! It's okay. I startled him and he must not have recognized me. He recognizes me now, right Perry?' Vanessa grabbed her father's arm in case he did something reckless. He was always a bit too eager to defend her honour.
Across the room, the teal haired man nodded, straightening from his crouch and leaning back against the counter.
'Well, that may be, but it still isn't right to threaten someone's daughter like that,' Heinz pointed out, crossing his arms over his chest to glare at the other man.
Perry attempted a sincere look of apology toward the pair.
'Okay fine, I forgive you. Oh, and I bought muffins! Who wants breakfast?' Dr. Doofenshmirtz's mood switched completely and he pulled out a box of muffins and sat down at the table in the middle of the room.
Vanessa took her seat and motioned for Perry to join them. The former platypus did... if a bit reluctantly.
'So, what have you been up to all this time? Secret agent stuff? Vanessa was really worried when we found you bleeding in the lab yesterday,' Heinz waved his muffin at the former O.W.C.A. Agent.
'Oh puleeeze. You were just as worried as I was, Dad,' the teenager argued back.
Perry froze, muffin halfway to his mouth. Malnourished though he was, the memories of that place could make anyone sick to their stomach.
'You should eat, you know. You're really thin. I should know, I had to change you yesterday. Don't worry, we'll figure out how to get you into some proper clothes even if we have to work around that arm of yours,' Heinz promised, polishing off another muffin.
Perry managed a weak smile at his former nemesis. The man really could switch moods quickly. And to think, Perry once thought Heinz to be the more evil of the two brothers... that thought brought a frown to his face again.
'So, how did you get so injured? Were you running from someone?' Vanessa spoke up, watching her father's house guest. The poor man was clearly traumatized by something. The Perry the Platypus she knew wouldn't act this way... something bad must have happened. Something really, really bad.
'Yeah. You show up after 6 months and bleed all over my lab. I think I deserve an explanation, Perry the former Platypus,' Heinz grumbled, half glaring at the other man.
{6 months? Only 6 months? They did all... THAT... in just 6 months?}
Perry covered his eyes with his good hand, leaning back to take a deep breath at the thought. Only 6 months...
'Okay, now you're really acting weird. Come on, it can't be that bad. You're Perry the former Platypus. Nothing can stop you. I should know, I tried,' Dr. Doofenshmirtz grumbled the last bit to himself.
'If you don't say anything, then how can we help you?' Vanessa asked.
Perry shook his head. There had to be some way to tell them, some way to show them the horrible place he'd escaped from. He needed to be strong, for the others.
Vanessa suddenly stood up, grabbing her father's arm and yanking him from the table before he could scarf down his 5^th muffin.
'We're going to go have a father daughter chat. You just stay here and relax. My dad was right, you really should eat something,' the girl pulled her evil scientist father from the room.
Perry blinked. {What was that all about? Humans are weird}
***
'Oooh, a father daughter chat. We never have those. Is it about boys?' Heinz teased, letting himself be dragged all the way up to the roof.
'No, it's about Perry,' Vanessa announced, closing the door behind her.
'You're dating Perry?' Dr. Doofenshmirtz stared at his daughter in shock.
'NO! Dad, seriously, it's not about boys or dating. It's about you and Perry,' the teenager explained.
'Me and Perry? We're not dating. The last time I saw him he was a platypus and that would have just been awkward...'
Vanessa groaned and slapped her forehead.
'Perry the Platypus is now a human man who is sitting in your kitchen eating a muffin. He is a clearly traumatized human man who came to you, his former evil nemesis, for help. Why aren't you taking this seriously?' the girl yelled, waving her hands in the air for emphasis.
'You really think he's traumatized?' Heinz rubbed the back of his neck and looked away from his daughter.
'Dad, he freaked out the minute I walked in the room. He could have killed me, he wanted to, I could see it in his eyes. The Perry the Platypus I knew was not a cold blooded killer,' Vanessa walked closer to her father and touched his arm.
'Something bad... horrible, must have happened to him. What could change someone that drastically in only 6 months?' she whispered, fighting back tears.
'Hmmm... first the O.W.C.A closes down and all the animal agents vanish, then Perry the Platypus shows up in my lab half a year later and he's human. You're right, Vanessa. Something strange is going on,' Dr. Doofenshmirtz sighed, looking up at the cloudy sky.
{Vanessa is right. She's always right. Why don't I listen to her more often? Perry is acting strange. I'm actually scared to leave him alone in the same room with my little girl. What a mess this is...}
'Maybe he can't talk. You'll have to come up with another way to find out what happened to him. We can't help him unless we know what happened,' Vanessa suddenly piped up.
'Hey, you're right. I do have a device I've been working on. I should be able to project his thoughts onto a screen. All he has to do is remember!'
...tbc...
