Gordon looked at Natalie, sighing. His first priority was of course treating Natalie, but he really wanted those memories. "I'd suggest we try and get her to use a pensieve, but I really don't want her to allow her to point a wand at her forehead, do you?"
He stood straight again and spoke towards Natalie. "Was that difficult, telling us that?" He asked, smiling that smile that seemed to work somewhat on her. "It would be even more helpful if you can show us."

"I fail to understand why it is so important for me to tell you about what they did," Nat snapped. "If I could help you capture Death Eaters, it'd be one thing...but I can't. So what the hell more do you want from me?" She was getting agitated again, and beginning to strain at the ropes with which she was still bound. "How dare you bind me like this, and just expect me to comply with your demands? Don't you know who I am?!"

Gordon took two fierce strides towards Natalie's bed. "WHO are you?" he bellowed. This certainly wasn't entirely Natalie as he knew her, and he hoped that pushing her would prompt her into a response that might reveal something new.

"Gordon!" Fayre cried, pulling out her own wand. "Contain yourself! She can't help it!" She stepped in between him and Natalie, pushing him firmly backwards and away from her. "If you cannot control yourself, I will ask you to leave," she snapped. "Natalie is my patient and I will not have you act in such a way."
She turned back to Natalie, who was fuming silently on the bed, still bound by Gordon's ropes. "Natalie dear, please try to relax," she said gently. "No one is going to force you to do anything. You have to realize that we are trying to help you. Don't you want to regain your life? Leave this hospital someday, maybe even return to your job as an Auror? You don't want to spend the rest of your days here in St. Mungo's, do you?"

Gordon sighed. Fayre didn't understand what he was trying to do. He would have to try and explain to her later. He didn't appreciate being threatened by a Healer, but showed no sign of it. He sat himself down into a chair on the opposite side of their room, deciding that it was best to stay quiet.

A wild play of emotion was flickering across Natalie's face; anger, sadness, fear, aggression...then, with no apparent warning, she collapsed back onto her bed, her head lolling back to expose the skin of her throat.
She was only unconscious for a moment, however, before coming awake again with a huge, shuddering gasp. "W-what..." she looked around with wide, terrified eyes, and began to cry weakly, her breath coming in short, quick bursts. "Wh-where am I? Wh-what's going on?" She caught sight of Gordon sitting in a chair just behind Fayre and attempted to reach toward him, discovering in the process that she was bound. "Gordon? Gordon, what's...what happened? Why am I t-tied up?"

In all of Gordon's frustration and impatience, he could barely summon the enthusiasm to talk to Natalie as if he hadn't already explained this a dozen times before. He stood from his chair, casting a sideways glance at Fayre, and moved towards Natalie's bedside. "You're in St. Mungos. We tied you up a moment ago because you were restless. Do you remember anything?"

"I...what?" Natalie glanced around, searching for something she recognized. Gordon remained the only familiar person in the room, however, and she latched onto him once more. "I...the last thing I remember...I was going to meet Adam, and then..." she furrowed her brow and her gaze drifted out of focus.
"He...said he had something important to show me...but then, at the last moment...he changed his mind, tried to warn me...but it was too late...and they took us both..."
She blinked and her gaze floated back up to meet Gordon's. "Did the Death Eaters capture us? How did I get free?"

Gordon smiled warmly down at Natalie. She seemed to be entirely back to normal for the moment, but for how long? He turned to Fayre, caution written all over his face. "I, er... Healer Thackary?" He didn't want to overload her with information and send her into shock. Gordon thought that the old Natalie could handle it, but as he was utterly confused as to what exactly was going on inside her mind, he had no idea what to do next.

Fayre understood Gordon's hesitation. Natalie had been through a large amount of stress already; perhaps telling her the truth was not a good idea at the moment. However, this section of her personality seemed to be the most lucid of the three they had met so far. Fayre didn't quite understand what was going on in Natalie's brain, but if nothing else, she felt certain that this Natalie was the real Natalie.
"Yes, you were captured by the Death Eaters," she said gently. "You've been MIA for the last two years, Natalie. A few weeks ago, Gordon received an owl from your brother telling him to come find you, and he left you in a park. You were dangerously underweight and anemic, and had a rather childlike mentality about you. We've been attempting to bring you back to yourself, but this is the first time that you've appeared...lucid."
