A/N: Hey guys! Remember me? Haha. Anyway, I'm not supposed to be writing this fic now because I'm currently working on another one but I just couldn't help myself. I really needed to make another Bro fic since the season finale is coming up soon. Aside from me, who else wants to see Robin as the bride? I know you do. So here's my brand new multi-chaptered AU Bro fic, Run and Hide. Enjoy! ^^
Chapter One:
She was panting and her legs felt like lead. She has been running for God knows how long and she couldn't stop. They were close she could feel it. She had to go somewhere. Somewhere where they won't get to her. A place where she could live in peace and away from her father. She was running and knocking people down in a busy avenue when opportunity stroke. A cab stopped right in front of her. She immediately went in and ordered the taxi driver to take her to the nearest airport and fast. She needed to get away now. She has been to so many places just to get away from her father. From Canada, she's been in Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, Los Angeles, and as of now, Washington DC.
She looked at the back to see if her father's men saw her take a cab. When she looked, she saw them arguing. Yup, they saw her alright. She ordered the taxi driver to go faster before her father's men catch up with her again. As the driver pick up speed, she leaned back and tried to relax. She's safe, for now.
She closed her eyes as she gave deep breaths. Her father was really determined to get her back. She knew that if his men came back to him empty handed, he'll shoot them with no remorse. Her father had such a temper. Something that they both had in common and one of the reasons she escaped. Her father was an arms dealer. The best in the world as he always told her. He also told her that maybe someday he would give the business to her in the future in which she wasn't so chipper about. This caused her father to go on overdrive. He took everything away from her, and now it's time to get it back.
It was a quiet drive to the airport. The cab driver respected her well enough to not speak at all. This was a good thing for her 'cause the last thing she wants is to be annoyed by a chatty taxi driver. When they got to the airport she paid the driver and ran off to the front desk. She couldn't remember how much she gave the driver but it didn't matter. "Can I get a ticket to the fastest flight to New York please? I'm kind of in a hurry." She told the girl sitting at the other side of the counter. "We have an available flight right now but we have one seat left in the first class." The girl said checking on her computer. "I'll take it." She said determined to leave. "Name please?" The girl asked. "Robin… Robin Scherbatsky." She answered.
Robin's flight was in five minutes. She kept glancing at her wristwatch. "What's taking so long?" She groaned. She was getting impatient, another thing she inherited from her father. "The plane is leaving in three minutes." The blonde haired man beside her said while reading a file from a folder. It must be for business, Robin guessed. "Yeah. Well I didn't know three minutes could take this long." She snorted glancing on her watch again. "Try to relax. The flight would be over in no time." The man's eyes were still on the file he was holding. "Who are you, exactly?" Robin said in an annoyed tone. The man closed the folder he was reading and looked at Robin. "I'm the guy who's sitting beside you on a plane while you're impatiently not being still." He said sarcastically. Robin felt offended yet ashamed at the same time. "Sorry." She said half-heartedly, rolling her eyes. "What about you? Who are you?" the guy asked. "I'm someone you don't need to know." She winked as she shook the man's hands. After the introduction, there was just complete silence. Silence that stayed through the whole trip.
When they reached the departure area, that's when they talked again. "Well, it was nice meeting you." Robin turned around to say good bye to her seat mate. "It was nice meeting you, too." They shook hands again and gone to different directions. Robin then felt her phone vibrate. She checked it and there was a message from her friend Lily.
'Hey, girl! Me and Marshall are waiting for you outside.'
Lily was Robin's best friend for ten years now. They met in San Francisco when her dad took her to one of his 'business trips'. She was strolling along Golden Gate Park while she saw Lily crying on a bench because she felt guilty of leaving, her then fiancé, Marshall for her dream of becoming a painter. Since then, they have become best friends and she was even the maid-of-honour in Lily's wedding but her father didn't approve of Lily as a friend so she took her away from her and she never got to attend the wedding but they both secretly had contact with each other. Robin couldn't wait to see her again.
As she stepped outside, she immediately saw her red headed best friend with her husband. "Robin!" Lily greeted her as she hugged her tight. "Hi, Lily. God, I missed you so much." Robin said as they broke the hug. "Hey, Marshall." She also greeted Lily's husband as they walk towards the taxi that has been waiting for them. "Welcome to New York, Robin" Marshall said. Robin smiled.
The blonde man had just arrived in GNB. Ted was waiting by his office. "Barney! Where have you been? Your sub has been driving me nuts!" Ted clamoured as he saw Barney walk into his office. "I had something to do. Why? Did Randy push you around too much?" He said with a small chuckle. "Yeah right. He can't even kill a fly. He keeps on asking me what to do every 15 seconds." Ted said plopping down the chair in front of Barney's desk. "Hey, you coming to MacLaren's tonight?" Ted said changing the topic. "Yeah. Why?" Barney said as he put his things in his drawer. "Robin's coming to town. She's going to move here in New York." Ted answered. "Robin? The Canadian girl you three kept talking about?" Barney raised his eyebrow. "Yeah." Ted nodded. "Oh great. I'm gonna meet a Canadian." He said with disgust in his voice. "Just show up, okay?" Ted said walking towards the door. "Fine." Barney agreed half-heartedly.
Robin, Lily and Marshall were at MacLaren's seating at the usual booth. Since Robin was new, Lily and Marshall had told her that the booth they were sitting on was their spot. "Why is Ted taking so long?" Lily complained. "Maybe he and Barney got caught in traffic." Marshall said putting his arm around Lily's shoulders. "Who's Barney?" Robin asked. "He's also a friend of ours. We met him before I met you. He was actually one of the reasons I came back to New York." Lily explained. "How come I've never met him?" Robin asked again. "I don't know. Maybe it's because he wasn't always around when you visit." Marshall answered. Robin was convinced, not that she needed convincing. "Ted!" Marshall shouted as Lily and Robin look towards the door. "Hey, guys! Hey, Robin! Nice to see you again." Ted said as he sat down next to Robin. "Where's Barney?" Lily asked. "He's outside. He paid the taxi." Ted said and as if on cue, Barney walked in and greeted the gang. "Hey, sorry we're late. We had some trouble." He explained while getting a chair from the other table. Robin stared at him. Barney looked quite familiar. As soon as Barney stared the same way as she did that's when it hit her. "You're the one I sat next to on the plane!" They both shouted at the same time.
