There's often no time for brakes while running Missions at Team Galactic. For someone like Mars, that means taking certain precautions. Couldn't Commander Jupiter be more understanding? It wasn't Mars' fault her mission ended up running so late, honest! At least her uniform could hide protective garment... right?
Jupiter resented having to take care of her junior Commander, but there was nothing for it. Neither Cyrus nor the other Commanders had the finesse for this sort of thing and Jupiter wouldn't trust the grunt to to anything unsupervised. She would just have to take care of her little girl all by herself...
You know while drawing this i came up with the vague idea of Mars regressing and becoming more dependent on Jupiter after all of Team Galactic plans fail. There could be a throughline of the both of them learning to be more in touch with their emotions, which they previously sought to purge from the universe (pokemon games are dumb). For know I don't think there's enough meat on that story, but i might vaguely reference it if i ever draw them again, or maybe it'll end up in a one-shot.
