To both hold onto it tightly between intertwined fingers. Not fighting to take it out of his grasp, but merely acting as a secondary extension clip to jumpstart her engines. A positive point to loop back around to the negative. A perfect circle of energy to bypass out from the hedgehog, into her.

Like a couple, her hand overlaid his that gripped tightly to the gemstone that aided him.

Straight to the source of Shadow's essence- the false heart that pulsed with endless bolts of chaos energy. Talons squeezing tight around it, stealing those unnatural electric shocks that kept his body alive for itself. Her palm forcing it to change pace, to pump out blood and nutrients at her pace.

A shift in her stance as he stopped time to come forth. as his threat was made crystal. Another ace revealed to Shadow as he barreled forward in the space he assumed was owned by him, exclusively. A zone invaded by the chipmunk as she could see him charging, leaping to reach for her firearm.

Visor's optics only shifting as Shadow reached into his quills. A chaos emerald revealed from behind the inky black spikes. Unspoken desire for what she wanted to look away even a bit from her opponent.
