Hey everyone and welcome to my first story on this account! I decided to do this because I think my Kaiju works should have their own account. I will still be posting stories to my first account though! Anyways, I love Serizawa and Graham and wanted to see more of them. Yes, I do pair them together and I will do that in this fic BUT I'll try not to make it the main focus.

Summary: After the Battle of San Francisco, MONARCH must face the backlash of the public and Serizawa and Graham must divide their time between personal things and work. Luckily, they have friend(s) in places they wouldn't expect.
Pairings: Serizawa/Graham, Ford/Ellie
Warnings: Not really much to warn about.

Chapter 1
San Francisco, California
2014

Ishiro stood within the large stadium, eyes looking around the injured and the survivors. Even an hour after Godzilla had woken up and went out to sea, there was still people flooding in with no signs of stopping. Most of the injured were covered in dust and dried blood, their clothes ripped in various places. The only thing that seemed to be clean was the crisp bandages that were around their wounds, but some of them did have a large red spot on them, signaling the wounds still bleeding. But none of them was the one he was looking for. He was looking for Ford Brody to make sure he was safe and that he was with his family.

"Dr. Serizawa," a voice came from behind him. "What are you doing here?"

Ishiro turned around and saw Ford standing there, leaning on a crutch. He was covered in dirt and some blood but otherwise, he seemed fine. Beside him was a young boy who was clinging to the man's shirt. Beside the two was a woman, dressed in hospital scrubs and a leather jacket.

"I wanted to come check on you." Ishiro informed Ford. "Before my assistant and I leave."

"Oh," Ford nodded. "Well since we don't have much time...this is my wife, Ellie and this is my son, Sam."

Sam waved shyly at Ishiro, who waved back with a small smile. He glanced at Ellie, who was watching him with a barely there smile, before looking at Ford. "It was a pleasure meeting and working with you, Mr. Brody."

"Likewise. Have a safe trip."

The shook hands before Ishiro made his way out of the stadium, weaving through crowds of survivors who were looking for their loved ones. The man watched for a moment before walking to a helicopter and slipped in, clicking his harness on and slipped on a headset. The pilot made sure that Ishiro was set before powering the aircraft and waited for the rotors to pick up speed. Once it was safe, the copter started to ascend into the sky and then they were off, heading to the Tactical Operations Command in Oakland.

It didn't take long to reach the Command and they were already setting down. Ishiro stepped out of the helicopter and inside where military personnel was in the process of packing everything up, safe for a few pieces of equipment that just couldn't be packed at the moment. Vivienne Graham chose this moment to come into view, now changed out of her earlier clothes and obviously showered.

"Did you find him?" was the first thing she asked.

"Yes," Ishiro nodded. "He was reunited with his wife and son. They were all fine."

"That's good."

"Where's the Admiral?"

"He's in the other room, talking to someone over the phone I believe."

Ishiro nodded to her in thanks before making his way to the said other room. He could see Admiral William Stenz at a phone, talking in a hushed voice. Ishiro waited patiently for the other man to get done, which wasn't that long after. William ended the call with a quick farewell before turning around and towards Ishiro.

"Admiral." Ishiro greeted.

"Dr. Serizawa, welcome back. I take it you had gotten everything you needed?"

"Yes."

"Good, I suspect that you and your assistant will be going soon, back to MONARCH?"

"I believe so."

"It was an honor working with you, Doctor."

"Likewise, Admiral."

Ishiro shook William's hand before heading out and back to where Vivienne still stood, waiting.

"MONARCH sent a jet over to get us at the Oakland International Airport." His assistant told him, making him nod. They gathered their things and walked over to a Humvee, climbing in. After telling the driver where they needed to go, they were on the roads, heading towards the airport without much traffic.

They got there in record time and were on the jet that was no taking off to bring them back home to Japan.

"What happened," began Vivienne after a few moments of silence as she sat across from him, her arms on the table that was between them. "It's going to change everything, isn't it."

"I believe so." Ishiro stated truthfully. "I fear in what way."

He watched as she nod before looking out of the window, at the clouds that hid the destruction of San Francisco from view.
