A/N: This one also took a while, anyway this occurs during the final scene of Symphony of Illumination

Enjoy More will come soon

It was December of 2011 and Robin had just cursed me out and was alone in Central Park alone imaging she was talking to her future kids she would now never have. The tension of her grave voice was irreconcilable,

"Ted doesn't get it... at all." The tears at this point were fathomable why she always had to have Ted cheer her up, Marshall, and Lilly, or even Barney, yes Barney. Everywhere she felt alone with the fact that she couldn't truly know why or who she is.

"How can this get better…?"

"Actually, Ms. Scherbatsky, I can provide that solution."

The figure came to join her on the bench somehow resembling her every stature. Robin was doing double takes looking back and forth at this notion.

"Wait is this a Black Swan thing? Cause they said that one of my doppelgangers would try to take over my life."

The figure laughed it off just in the same way Robin always did. "Robin, I believe your friends incorrectly referred to me as a Lesbian."

"Oh, no we just assumed..."

"Don't worry I kept this ruse going for a full 6 years until they saw me and had my world shatter. Then I found a new life, I can do the same thing for you."

"I'm sorry, Ms." Robin said scratching her head.

"Maria Hill, lieutenant director of the the Strategic Homeland Inter Extrential and Logistics Division."

Robin laughed at Maria's strange demeanor. "You pretended to be a lesbian and now you work for a secret government agency I don't see how your life compares to mine."

Maria rubbed Robin's cheek and smiled "You're familiar with the Prince and the Popper right?"

"Yes, are you saying you want to pull that?"

"Cliché Ms. Scherbatsky yes, but you say you want to escape from your life.., why is that?"

"I've had this group of friends since 2005, 2 of them I've dated, and somehow I now found out I'm infertile I can't face them knowing that one, or both of them still may want to come back to me someday."

Maria gave her a tissue as a light snow began to fall again. She blew her nose and handed it back.

"So now what Ms. Hill, you expect me to give up my life and just have you assumed mine."

"No, I want to give you a reason to come back to your life with a better and more determined purpose."

"So what's the plan?"

20 Minutes passed as Maria and Robin gave each other all the details of their own affairs over the years. What they needed to do and how to behave and completely assimilate each other. The switch in clothes later and they stood outside of Ted and Robin's building ready for this to begin.

"Robin, if you want extraction you just need to text the word ARCREACTOR to my private phone. It will auto send instructions for the switchback."

Robin looked at Maria wearing the same clothes she had just spent an hour and a half crying in, she now realized that she may not be seeing any of the guys again.

"Maria, if I die doing this, tell them at the bar not in private."

"Will do Robin."

"Ok, here goes."

Maria watched Robin walk off looking just like her own appearance to Lucy all those years ago. By the time she cleared the building Robin was gone, and Maria Hill now became Robin Charles Sparkles Scherbatsky.

"Ok, Ted let's see how you're going to cheer me up."

Maria opened the door and began the climb into her new life."
