Characters Barney/Robin
My idea of what I want to happen to Quinn when Season 8 comes back. Its a alt universe story about what would happen if Robin broke the Broath. Robin and Barney find out Quinn is not who she says she is and decide a little payback's in order. Spoilers 7.19 to 7.24 end scene.:
Chapter One - What Quinn Did
Barney stood at the door of Lily and Marshall’s apartment. He could not bear to look at Robin. To know that she was happy for him to marry Quinn of all people. She looked as though the wind had been knocked out of her, and still she was happy for him. He knew that somewhere within herself she loved him , but she had no idea how to say it.
In the other room, Quinn was probably gushing to Lily and Marshall about the engagement. How he was a creepy magic man, but probably just that she was engaged. (The nerve of her, Barney bristled inwardly, he wasn‘t creepy, he was 100% awesome). It would seem to the average observer who could be looking in on them, right at that very moment, that no games were being played, everyone was as happy as could be.
Well that was all about to change, Robin had her part to play and so did he. Now to watch all the dominoes fall and crush Quinn, his ‘fiancée’ into the ground.

One week earlier
Robin was shooting beer cans off her new apartment roof sulkily. She missed Barney terribly and wished that Ted would actually talk to her like a normal human being..
It wasn’t her fault he couldn’t get over the fact that she would never love him, the way he loved her.
‘Seriously people’
She groaned.
‘Can’t I do anything right?’
As she shot another beer can into the sky.
Suddenly her phone vibrated in her pocket.
‘What the fuck!’ she spat as she fumbled for her phone and almost dropped her gun in the process.
‘Hello, Robin speaking?’
She said, when she finally had a hold on her phone.
What the speaker said next left her totally speechless to say the least.
‘Oh I see,’
She replied
‘I will let him know, thank you’
As soon as Robin hung up her phone, she raced down to her apartment, grabbed her purse and keys and set off to find Barney.
/-/O\/\/ I /\/\ET YOUR /\/\OTHER
Meanwhile in Lily and Marshall’s room.
‘Well, well,’
Barney said, with an evil laugh.
‘Look who’s playing games now’
‘Definitely not us, that’s for sure,’
Robin said laughing back at him.
‘Mayday, mayday, Come in Barnman, are you there over?’
The walkie talkie in Barney’s hand whistled
‘Yeah I’m here, Ted, what up?’
He said
‘Your spy guy just sent me a text saying that the ring’s booby trapped and ready to roll’
Barney smiled under his balaclava and gave a high five to Robin
‘Awesome Ted, let the magic happen.’
‘Will do Barney, will do.’
‘How the hell can you get a camera inside an engagement ring?’
Robin asked Barney once he hung the walkie talkie
Barney gave her a look
I have a guy for everything, remember?’
‘Oh yeah ,’ Robin said as she loaded her purse gun and pulled the safety switch.
‘You really are the master of the possimpible.’
‘That I am’
Barney said giving her a smirk.
A few moments later, Barney and Robin raced of the room slamming the front door behind them, ready for the bough to fall.
/-/O\/\/ I /\/\ET YOUR /\/\OTHER
One week earlier.
‘Damn it Barney, pick up your phone’
Robin yelled as she rang his number for the fourth time that night.
A minute later, she finally got her wish.
‘What’s up Robin?’
Barney said
‘Oh Barney, thank goodness, I have bad news about Quinn’
‘What about her? I thought I told you to stay out of my relationships. That’s what the Broath was about remember?’
Barney said, annoyed.
‘I know and I’m sorry, but this news couldn’t wait another night’
Barney sighed.
‘Very well, tell me then’
As Robin relayed to him the news she had just heard; Barney bristled and went bright red in anger.
‘Why that little minx,’ he spat
‘It’s time to make that bitch pay.’

Present time
No sooner did Quinn go into the baby’s room after gushing about her new engagement that she found herself being manhandled by Marshall and stuck on a picture hanger on the wall.
‘What’s going on?’
she demanded
‘Let me out of here now’
‘Why?’
Lily cornered her as she fixed Marvin up and put him in his cot
‘I thought you enjoyed games’
‘I have a job to get to, I have no time for monkeys like you’
‘Oh, do you now’
Lily drawled.
‘I thought Barney said that you quit’
‘Wait, how did you…’
Quinn stopped short and began again.
‘Oh shut up, is that such a crime’
‘It is to us’
Marshall interrupted her with a glare that could rival Lily’s.
‘Barney’s one of our best friends’
‘So what , do I look like I care, ’
‘Who just happens to be very vulnerable right now, so we don’t want him getting hurt.’
Lily hissed.
‘Oh poor Barney’
Quinn mocked him.
Suddenly the front door slammed shut and so did the door to the baby‘s room.
‘Sorry Karma’
Lily said sarcastically.
‘I don’t think you’re getting out of here anytime soon.’
‘Damn it, let me go’
Quinn shrieked.
‘Sorry darling.’
Marshall said, coming dangerously close to her.
‘Barney can’t save you now’
‘No,’
She shrieked as Marshall with one full swoop sent her crashing to the ground.
