All of the Wyrecats had nanomachines injected into them, acting as the "driver" software needed to control their armors. With those extra artificial synapses, they can operate the armor as naturally as if it were just another limb. Apparently there are some undocumented features, as well...
Eh, they would've had to tell her sooner or later. At least the cat's out of the bag.
And who is the mysterious stranger/machine/person inside of a suit in that first panel? Surely not one of the physical therapists.
PANEL ONE: K.A. scrunches her brow in strained remembrance as she struggles to visualize the last thing she saw, a menacing figure in a silver exoskeleton standing above her, with a menacing toothy smile on their mask and an arm cannon pointing down at her.
K.A.: But the rest is….the rest…the rest is…well..
PANEL TWO: Dr. Cree continues talking to K.A. as she starts to sit upright.
DR. CREE: Don’t worry dear, it’ll all come back to you. The fact that you’re conscious at all is nothing short of a true miracle!
PANEL THREE: As Dr. Cree happily talks to K.A. about her recovery, we see X-Rays of K.A.’s skull. The first is after her injury, with a prominent hole in the middle of her cranium, with cracks spreading across her entire forehead. The second one has the hole and its fractures filled in with a glittering golden substance.
DR. CREE: Until a week a go you were in a persistent vegetative state…but then, the nanomachines in your bloodstream started repairing the damage, even growing new tissues across all systems in your body! In some ways, you’re even healthier than you were five years ago…
PANEL FOUR: K.A. looks up at Dr. Cree, her eyes opening wide for the first time in years.
K.A.: Did you just say five…years?
PANEL FIVE: Dr. Cree freezes in place, her own eyes widening and her mouth gaping open as she realizes the gravity of her error.

Eh, slip of the tongue. Could happen to anybody.
But why did the nanobots wait so long to put her back together?
