When you held onto me
like I was your
little life raft,

that you were mine as well
The apocalypse has been cancelled, the Kaijus defeated, and the world saved and dealing with the aftermath. After eleven and a half years, the war ended, leaving disaster but a new hope in its wake.
The PPDC had no need for defending the Earth any longer, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t help in other ways, like rescue missions and rebuilding efforts. Now that the Kaiju threat was eliminated, research could be focused on the effects of Kaiju Blue, and finding countermeasures. So it seemed like it was back to the lab for Newt. But what he didn’t expect was for the baby Kaiju that Otachi had to still be living.
Being a viable source of research, Newt had managed to convince the new Marshal, Herc of the benefits of keeping the baby Kaiju alive. Newt left out a crucial fact: Kodachi, as the scientist had taken to calling her, had imprinted on him. And well, it was Newt’s first and probably only chance to raise Kaiju after all.
The world works in strange ways and some paths cross and recross until they’re a tangled mess. Newt and Raleigh had only crossed paths once, and from Newt’s perspective, it didn’t go well, having made a fool of himself. Therefore, the scientist was hardly expecting Raleigh of all people, in his lab, talking to a Kaiju, and surprisingly not attempting to kill said Kaiju.
