A/N: So a friend of mine gave me this idea for a Peter Parker/OC fic. Enjoy (and let me know if you see something wrong!)
Outline:
Sarah 'Swift' Hood has never been an overly friendly person, and she never will. At least that's what she thinks. No friends, no parents, just a kind landlady and friend, Eliza, who lets her rent a room in Queens and pays for her education at Midtown High. And that's all there is to her life.
Or is it?
By day, she goes to school, then goes out to where she works at a mechanic's shop to get her rent money. By night the amethyst necklace she never lets go of unfolds into a highly advanced tech suit, and she becomes the secretive crime-fighter known to the public as... Wolf Girl. Not the best alias, but no one tells J. Jonah Jameson to change his mind.
The suit is specifically calibrated and tailored to her powers, which she gained in the explosion that killed her parents, and which allow her to transform into any kind of animal at will or even use their abilities or features, as an example she can have wings, claws, and/or a tail only or a cat's night vision or wolf's howl, as well as being able to understand and speak to them.
She has never trusted anyone else with her identity, afraid of betrayal or more accurately, the pain it causes.
So what happens when the boy she loves discovers her secret?
She yawns, opening her eyes groggily, and sees her mother smiling fondly down at her, with her father just beyond. This is her last happy memory, and she tries to memorise every single detail of it.
The leather seat, soft and warm beneath her tired head.
Her mother's beautiful red hair and loving face.
The way the light struck, then passed her father's glasses as he, too, looked at her, love and devotion evident in his every feature.
The yellow-green flames as the chemical factory just off the road exploded, throwing their car away and into a ditch.
The end of her happiness as she crawled out of her seat and frantically tried to wake her parents, but to no avail.
Neither of them returned home.
