Kate Kane: Batwoman Appreciation 2018

[Caivu]

In any case, I expect that finding Batwing and JPV were there calmed her down some. Initially when she wakes she starts fretting, when she calls for help, then when the others reveal themselves she calms and starts trying to take leadership. No doubt she puts on extra bravado for her teammates, and only freaks-out in private when possible. She only shows her weaknesses to her father and those she's in a close relationship with, like when she cried in Maggie's arms.

I agree that having allies there helped. However, and I can't explain why, but I don't think she was fronting afterward. At least, not actively.

It's not the best example (for a few reasons), but after her first stabbing she was still relatively collected. She broke out of the Weeping Woman's mind-effery twice with relatively minor damage, even after almost drowning once. So it's complicated what's going on with her mentally in this issue.
