[ WP ] The City 's local Superhero suddenly dies of unknown causes and , for whatever reason , his will leaves all his possessions to you , his arch-enemy .

`` What do you mean he left his stuff to me?'' I inquired of the lawyer who sat before me. We were not alone though, Alpha's'super friends' from other cities were present in the large city hall, as well as reporters and civilians. 
 
 `` Exactly what I said. Alpha left all his earthly possessions to you in his final will and testament.'' There were beads of sweat across his forehead despite the presence of the other heroes, and he was right to be afraid. Alpha was the only hero who was capable of subduing me, and now he was dead. 
 
 `` Fine. Have them delivered to my estate tomorrow.'' I shot back, `` Oh, and if this is a ploy to get your little super puppets here into my home...'' I paused, turned and slowly walked toward the exit before continuing, ``... consider them both dead and a declaration of war.'' 
 
 I was alerted of the moving truck's arrival at my home by my security protocols. I allowed them in and they deposited a box at my doorstep. 
 
 `` P-p-please sign here... s-sir.'' The scared delivery man stammered. I simply flicked my wrist and his pen wrote down my name in calligraphy. He practically ran to join the other man in the van and they squealed out of my home. 
 
 I took the box in, opened it and in it were a smaller box and a letter. 
 
 *01/01/15* 
 
 *Alpha* 
 
 January 1, 2015. The very day he told me he was dying. He had been part of an intergalactic team that had saved the earth from annihilation and had been infected with an alien virus. It had no cure and and he would die in less than a year. It was on that same day he made me swear to take his place when his time came. 
 
 `` Bill, you know this city better than anyone else. You're the only one I can trust to take my place. They may see you as a villain but I know what you've been doing in secret. I know you monopolized this city's underworld to keep it safe from the psychos who would watch it burn. Please, my friend.'' 
 
 The smaller box contained the access codes to his estate and his power bracelets which can only be used by whoever they are willed to. 
 
 Tears welled in my eyes as i donned them. 
 
 Alpha. A Bastard. My Nemesis. **My Friend**
