The stars glittered in the sky as smoke lazily floated up, dancing in tendrils across the sky.

Nathalia exhales the smoke from her lungs before she flicks ash from the end of her cigarette as she answers Eggsy's questions for him.

She had finished her assignment and was sat outside of the headquarters, still in her suit as her eyes stare at the stars that were shining above her. The only thing she had to do know was to get Eggsy to impress the king.

A whooshing fills the sky as Nathalia opens the back door to enter the building which causes her to look up to see what looked like a shooting star. But it wasn't. It was something much less beautiful and a lot more deadly.

Nat?

The text dances across her glasses.

Nathalia's eyes widen as she sees the rocket heading straight for the headquarters.

"I love you Eggsy," Nathalia says.

The agent breaks into a sprint, running like she never had before, as the building explodes behind her.

The force of the blast launches her body forward, sending her tumbling down the grassy bank. Nathalia could feel the heat from the explosion even from her distance.

When she stops rolling, Nathalia turns to face the building she called home and her eyes stare at the nightmare in front of her, the HQ was nothing but a charcoaled mass of rubble.

"ROXY?" Nathalia shouts as she runs back towards what was left of the HQ. "ROXY!"

Nathalia begins moving rubble, trying to find any survivors but all she could find were the charred remains of the people that were in the building at the time of the impact.

Nathalia moves to the point where Roxy's room would have been and spots the very squashed and burnt remains of Roxy's laptop.

"ROXY!" Nathalia cries. "ROXY PLEASE!"

Nathalia drops to her knees in the centre of the rubble as the heavens open, rain pouring down on her as her head drops.

The next thing she knows, her body is slumping to the side as her eyes roll back. The last thing she feels is her body hitting the ground before she embraces the darkness.

Nathalia's eyes flutter open and it is dark, the stars shining above her.

Eggsy stares at the burnt remains of the headquarters, searching for any signs of life. Having driven from his home to the countryside in record time.

Movement catches Eggsy's eye as the umbrella shields him from the rain. A familiar mess of blonde hair and their signature white suit was visible in the rubble and Eggsy's eyes widen.

"NAT?"

Nathalia's head lifts and her eyes lock on Eggsy, she gets to her feet shakily and runs forward.

Eggsy tosses his umbrella to the side and sprints towards Nathalia.

Nathalia stumbles a few times before she and Eggsy meet one another and she throws her arms around him. Eggsy ignores the rain pelting down on his suit as he holds Nathalia tightly in his arms, pressing kisses into her hair as she sobs into his chest.

"I've got you," Eggsy whispers. "I've got you. You're okay"

"They all-" Nathalia's words are cut off by another sob and Eggsy holds her even tighter.

"I thought you died too," Eggsy's voice cracks as he speaks, revealing the raw emotion he had locked away.

"I got out," Nathalia says, looking back to the rubble. "I was about to step back in the house. I was having a smoke whilst helping you"

Eggsy turns Nathalia's head back into his chest so she doesn't have to see the rubble of her home and the reminder of the fate of the only family she had known.
