Gwendolyn failed to land her first strike, and eventually, her stamina depleted. She was no match for Maverick in terms of strength, and she was wearing heels-an inconvenient kind of footwear. Thus, she was soon forced to the wall without realizing it.

So, while he was distracted as he tried to grab her left wrist, she pressed the secret button on her ring with her right hand. A silver needle popped out in response.
