"Your father has retrograde amnesia. Tequila, recognised him as your father once we arrived, so we treated him and brought him here. " Ginger started to explain to the Kingsman three.

The group had all grouped back where Eggsy and Merlin got interrogated, the big two way mirror letting Natalie watch as her father bubbled around his small room. Her eyes were fixated on him, watching as he checked his butterfly's on his wall, with no worry for her or Eggsy.

'I have butterfly's but not a daughter' Harry's words kept replaying in Natalie's head, his voice breaking her heart. 'I'd remember If I had a daughter'. Natalie closed her eyes, letting a tear fall. Her fathers words stung her all over.

"When you say treated, how so? He was shot in the head." Merlin asked.

"We created our alpha gel technology for our own agents in the event of a head shot." Ginger continued to explain, her focus completely on Natalie and her reaction.

Ginger was Natalie's closet friend when she came to Statesman the first time. Their trust growing over just a few days. Ginger knew Natalie and how much her father meant to her, so she cared deeply on how the girl would take all this in.

"The gel protects the brain. Then, in the lab we use nanites, micro-bots, to repair tissue damage. There are side effects; partial amnesia, regression to younger self. With no idea of who he was, there was nothing we could do. But now, you guys are here, there's a good chance we can bring him back."

Natalie listened but struggled to take it all in. He had been here for a year and she knew nothing about it. That's what ticked her off the most. She expected both Tequila and Ginger to at least call about him. It stung knowing they didn't.

"We can answer any questions you have, Natalie." Ginger addressed the girl, sitting foreword in her chair.

Natalie took a deep breathe, looked at her father once more than turned to Ginger. Her eyes finding their way to Tequila.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Her question mainly aimed at Tequila. With everything that happened with them, Natalie couldn't believe Tequila. First, with not believing her about Eggsy and Merlin and now this. She thought she knew Tequila better.

"I wanted to." Tequila answered, making Eggsy scoff.

"Bullshit." Eggsy crossed his arms, not happy with the two Statesman in front of him.

No matter what, she deserved to know.

Tequila stared down Eggsy, not appreciating his harsh word towards him. Eggsy knew nothing about Tequila and Natalie, about their relationship, so for him to pipe up about something he wouldn't understand, angered him. But for Natalie, he restrained.

Tequila could tell from the kisses and hugs, they were together. He wasn't blind.

"He did want to." Ginger interrupted before the boys could have another exchange of harsh words. "Believe me he did. But with your father not remembering you, even from photo's, Tequila wanted to try. He wanted him to remember you before he contacted you. We now know that was wrong and we're sorry." Natalie's anger towards Tequila softened. He really tried to do that?

Tequila didn't know where to look. Only Ginger knew of his extra efforts to help Harry. He wasn't asked to help, but for the sake of Natalie, he tried his best.

Natalie felt for Tequila. He tried to help as best he could but to no avail. He wanted Harry to remember so badly, he even kept him up one night just talking. He felt even worse now she was here, looking into his eye as he said he didn't remember her. Tequila partly blamed himself.
