I have reasons for this but can't be bothered atm. Nah, not Kate. No offence to Kate, but to paraphrase Peter Hale,"She and her Berserker's aren't exactly a brain trust of geniuses, now are they?". Added to which, her utter cluelessness in regards to shifting control, and her special mix tape, and frankly the whole assassin/Benefactor thing kind of debunks that theory. I'm pretty sure that Kate's as pissed at the Benefactor as anyone -- she got duped into this whole thing, I definitely think she believed the story about the Triskelion and was genuinely surprised that it wasn't some mystical artifact.

And it was all a scheme to obtain money to finance assassination (and she's on the list! Whether she knows that or not I'm not sure.) Like, she is aaaangry and she is not the Benefactor.
