[ WP ] A man finds out that he is immortal .

CJ holds his father's.45 caliber Ruger P Series that's been in the family for as long as he can remember. He looks at it carefully, half entranced by nostalgia and half encumbered by the numb embrace of a depression that has haunted him for all too long. 
 
 CJ knows the weight of this gun. Years shooting with his father became a comforting affair, so it only seems right that some iota of companionship was involved with his outing. He inspects the gun and notices a sticky sliding action where improper care has taken hold. He's not sure whether or not the gun will actually fire, so it's a dice roll with the universe to determine his fate. 
 
 CJ has three rounds left in the chamber from seven years ago. He knows that one is all he needs. 
 
 As the gun rests against his pulsating temple, CJ does not feel fear, but a welling strength rising up inside. He believes it to be the adrenaline, and proceeds to place a shaky finger on the trigger... 
 
 `` Goodbye father, thank you for taking me in... for all that I am, and was.'' 
 
 A crash of light, sound, and smoke fills the room... 
 
 CJ blinks, astounded and frozen by his consciousness. Pounding, frantic footsteps are heard coming up the stairs as CJ thinks to himself, `` How... what just happened?'' 
 
 As CJ stares at the crumpled bullet at his feet, his father enters the room and yells, 
 
 `` Clark Joseph Kent! What the hell did you just do?!?''
