Immortal

I think Nolan took my "power" away.
I'm not sure how I will feel about that in the future, it's pretty weird being an ordinary human.
Arch thinks that I should complain, but like he said before everything is easier in my original form. It is kind of true, it's way better since I can now save money. Buying endless amount of shirts & skirts didn't come cheap.
If my powers were going to be taken away the moment I got here, why did he hire me?
Arch only killed 7 people the past week, that's a personal record.

Arch: I talked to Nolan.
Me: And?
Arch: He said that he's developing some technology for the government.
Me: That doesn't really explain the magic.
Arch: Thank you for that interesting & enlightening tidbit Mr.Holmes.
Me: Hay, don't get snippy with me.
Arch: I'm not getting snippy, let's just stand here in front of his room and do our jobs.
Me: Are we not allowed to talk.
Arch: We're allowed, but I have a policy against talking to dumb people.
Me: Are you calling me dumb?
Arch: Smart person wouldn't have to ask that.
Me: Fine, I'm sorry alright.
Arch: Whatever, apology accepted.
Nolan(from inside his room): Pandora could you come in here for a second.

I walked in, he was sitting behind his desk and seemed to be in a happy mood.

Nolan: I want to test a theory I've been having about you.
Me: alright

He pulled out a large handgun from his drawer. He pointed it directly at me. I freaked.

Me: What are you doing?
Nolan: Relax, if I'm right you won't be hurt.

I was skeptical about this, but I just stood still. He fired, the bullet flew towards me. It penetrated my skull, blood & brains spewing on the side of the floor.
I think I died, I'm not certain, I could feel a great pain from the brain injury, but a moment later I was fine.
I wasn't entirely certain on what had happened.

Nolan: I was correct...thank you, you can go.
Me: Wait a minute, what the hell was that?
Nolan: I killed you.
Me: Yeah, I'm aware of that.
Nolan: My department has a file on you Mr.Paradox, it seems that you literally can't die, because the universe doesn't want you to die yet. I found that hard to believe so I had to test that theory myself.
Me: I'm immortal?
Nolan: For the time being. Your very being seems to be a paradox Mr.Paradox. Your name is quite fitting actually. Your parents must have been deep philosophers.
Me: I don't think they were, they were more in the Goth/Indie crowd.
Nolan: *chuckles* Well, I expect you to get back to your post.

This was a weird experience.
I'm freaking immortal?
That's rather neat, even if it is just temporarily.
