━━ From the time she was a child, Stevie was told that there was only one resource that the world produced too much of.

Girls.

It took her being freed to understand that she was not some overproduced material. She was an overexploited class of people. Girls were abandoned and kidnapped for simply existing. They were raped and murdered for acting human. They are the product of centuries of suffering and survival.

The Red Room took suffering to another level.

From the moment the girls were stolen, they were erased. They did not exist once they belonged to General Dreykov.

Every day, they were beaten into ... well, some say perfection, others would say submission. All these girls knew was that it was hell. From the blood that seeped through their pointe shoes in the morning, to the broken knuckles during afternoon training, to the bruises around their wrists from being chained to their nightmares.

The Red Room rid themselves of the girls who weren't good enough, and destroyed the ones who survived.

When you were in such a soulless place, you had to search for something worth their survival. Things worth staying alive for. Perhaps they were not good things, but the ample money and the outsiders fear of crossing Dreykov were the closest Stevie could find. ( While she had a soft spot for one of the girls, she knew better than to get close to her. One of them would be dead by the end, and it wouldn't be her. )

When you were a Black Widow, money was no object and Dreykov didn't let people play with his toys. Not without his consent. 

When you were an employee of Goldfinger's, the luxuries were different. There were no promises you would get paid properly. You would not risk your life if you were not the best, but there was no guarantee the girls wouldn't be groped either.

Goldfinger's Gentlemen's Club hired Stevie at fifteen, just weeks before she had moved to California, being the sole location to allow her such a belated start date. All of her coworkers were under the impression that she had just barely made the cusp of legal age with the exception of Scotty, who knew all about that particular truth ).
