Here is the next part in the Eiffel Tower part. This one is more action. The next one will be more Clana filled. Please enjoy and review.

=================================================================

The crisp night air of Paris chilled the four teens that made their way toward the Eiffel Tower. The bright moon in the sky played glows off the black and gray clouds that danced through the nighttime sky. Clark, Lana, Chloe, and Charlie were all trying to make good time, using fast pace walking to get them to their destination faster. Lana's gaze kept shifting to the skies above, catching Clark's attention.

"Is something wrong, Lana?" He asked with concern, as he always did. Lana looked at him with a smile, but she didn't seem as happy.

"I don't know. I guess I just miss the Kansas skies, you know? Back in Smallville, when the skies were clear, you could just look up almost anywhere and see the twinkling stars and the beautiful moon. I guess it's just different in a huge city like this."

Clark listened intently to what Lana was saying. It made him feel a little homesick, but being close to her made the feeling evaporate instantly.

The two walked faster, catching up with Chloe and Charlie, who had been a few feet in front.

"And to think I always considered you to have such good endurance, Clark. Are we walking to fast?" Chloe asked sarcastically. Clark just gave her a smile and shook his head. He liked Chloe too. Being in Paris with her was great in a different way. In a more friendly way. Clark knew it would pain her if he told her being with Lana was more romantic than being with the Smallville High school newspaper editor.

Silence overcame the group once again, eventually reaching the end of their walk.

"Wow Chloe, you were right. It's even more beautiful at night." Lana said, mesmerized and astonished.

"Looks like we'll be taking the elevator folks. Next stop, top floor." Chloe echoed in a business like voice.

"The top floor?" Clark questioned, trying to hide his great discomfort. Chloe didn't see it.

"Yes Clark, that's what I said." She answered dully, before moving on to the main elevator. Charlie and Lana followed her, as Clark looked around before entering. Finally, he decided to just stomp on his fears and get in.

As the door closed, Clark tried to make conversation to keep his mind off the increasing heights.

"So Chloe, how do you know that the person affected by meteor rocks is going to be up here?"

"Okay, since I feel saying "person affected by meteor rocks" is just too long, let me just tell you their name. This person is Kevin Jacobs, a junior from Smallville High. I found out from a source that he was flying to Paris for the same art show as Lana. It seems like you're not the only one trying to get out of Smallville, Lana." Chloe stated, looking over at Lana. Then she continued. "So I thought that I could follow him, maybe get an interview, and even spend some time with my friend." Chloe smiled at Lana. "And of course with my boyfriend too." Chloe glanced at Clark, as she put emphasis on the word "boyfriend". Clark's eyes widened as he realized that Charlie was Chloe's actual boyfriend.

I should have figured out that out before. With all the history Chloe has had with boyfriends, Clark knew she certainly had a knack for falling in love with Kryptonite infused guys. Ian Randall, Justin Gaines, Sean Kelvin, and now Charlie. He seems like a nice enough guy though, and his powers are much different than the other guys.



 "Clark?" Lana called his name, causing Clark to snap back to reality.

The reality off traveling in a glass elevator farther and father off the ground, Clark thought grimly, trying to look forwards instead of down.

A crash from above the elevator alerted Clark. Lana and Chloe gasped as Charlie glanced from side to side. Since the only non-glass side of the elevator was the ceiling, Clark had to use his X-ray vision to see what was above the elevator. Someone's skeleton came into focus among the blacks, pale blues, and heavy blues that had taken on the color of everything since Clark was looking with X-ray vision. The skeleton was about five stories higher up than the elevator, but it was reaching for something.

Suddenly the elevator rocket side to side, being shook by an unknown force. Clark knew though. He caught Lana as she lost her balance, and refocused his vision to normal. Sparks rained down from above and on top of the elevator.

"What the hell is happening?!" Charlie shouted, still trying to find the source of disruption. Clark immediately zeroed in on the person above them with his X-ray vision again, and came to realize that the person was somehow ripping apart the thick cable that held the elevator up.

The person tore apart the cable again, sending a shower of spark, and causing the elevator to rumble. If they didn't get out, it would be like the Tower of Terror, except for real.

Not wanting to reveal his powers, Clark settled on an easy option.

He smashed through the glass wall, landing on the platform next to the elevator. Both girls screamed as Clark hit the ground. The elevator moved straight up the middle of the tower, each level surrounding the shaft with a circular platform. And from what Clark could tell, the level he was on was only about ten from the top.

His attention reverted back to the peril in front of him.

"Jump out now!!" Clark yelled at the three others inside the elevator.

Another cord snapped.

And another.

The other three finally dove out of the already shattered window, landing just in front of Clark.

Another cord snapped. Then the elevator started to free-fall, barreling down with gravity. After a few seconds, a huge crash echoed from the ground below, along with a blast of sparks and flames, and pieces of the elevator flying through the air. Clark was just glad everyone had got out, and no one had been down by the elevator entrance on the ground.

Clark helped up the two shaking girls in front of him. Lana hugged against Clark, but so did Chloe. Instantly noticing what she was doing though, she broke off and embraced with Charlie instead.

But Clark hadn't forgotten about their enemy that was still around.

"Chloe, is that Kevin Jacobs?" He asked her, pointing up at a moving figure that was now only three levels away. Chloe squinted her eyes and nodded.

"That's him. He tried to kill us!!"

"One guess why Chloe?" Clark asked, already having a reasonable answer of why they had just been attacked.

"I guess he hates reporters." Chloe retorted quietly, still staring at Kevin descending the levels. The four backed away from the elevator shaft, as Kevin leapt through a structure gap, landing on the same platform.

"You!!!!" He screamed, gesturing at Chloe. "You're the one who's been following me!!! Why are you stalking me?! You want to get an interview with a freak I bet!!! That's what you think of me, isn't it!!!"

"No, I don't think that." Chloe answered softly with a concerned voice.

"Just shut the hell up!!! Sullivan, I know what you do!!! Now I'm going to make you all pay for following me!!!" Kevin screamed angrily, as his arms were engulfed with a clear yellow substance. Like cement, a glove like huge fist was formed over his arms. Reaching from his elbow to his fist, then substance encasing Kevin's arms were bulging fist.

Well that's something new, Clark thought, preparing himself for any attack. Kevin's rage appeared in his gaze, as it kept shifting around. He started to advance on the group.

Kevin lunged at Chloe first with outstretched hands. Chloe screamed, but tried to avoid the attack. Clark moved in front of the blonde and slammed his palms into Kevin's shoulders, rocketing him onto his back.

"That's it!!" Kevin screamed with rage. His fists enlarged greatly, the substance forming into a larger shape. This time, Kevin did not move forward. The fists shot forward, extended by the yellow substance, straight at Clark. Clark had not expected the attack, so before he could block it, the fists slammed him in the chest.

Charlie charged at Kevin from the side, but suddenly, one of the fists changed shape. As Charlie was about to make contact, the fist had become claws, and it reached straight for Charlie. Quickly trying to redirect his movement, Charlie jumped to the side, but the claws were quick. The slashed across his chest, tearing through his muscle shirt and leaving claw marks. Charlie had avoided a goods proportion of the attack though. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. Kevin jumped at him but Clark was already diving through the air. The two collided and rolled off to the side.

Kevin struggled with Clark, tearing down the front of Clark's chest and stomach with his claws. But they only left long rip marks in the front of his shirt.

"You, you, aren't hurt!" He whispered angrily. Clark said nothing, and tried to shove him off, but Kevin kept attacking. His claws tore sown Clark's side, shredding through both his new T-shirt and his new jacket. But it still did not break his skin.

Kevin started trying to attack more wildly. Clark tried to keep him busy so there would be less of a chance of Kevin harming one of the others. Kevin's claws tore up Clark's jacket sleeve and slashed his T-shirt sleeve, and then it clawed across his cheek. Not harming Clark at all, but only making Kevin angrier. He wildly started slashing at Clark's other shoulder, tearing through clothing but no skin.

"Where is your Achilles' heel?!" Screamed Kevin as he started to form the claws into a huge fist again.

Not anywhere on my body, but you might find some in Smallville. The thought was amusing to Clark, but the situation was not. It was getting annoying.

But Clark suddenly saw Lana's leg lifted into the air. It came crashing down onto Kevin's back, before he could even hit Clark again.

"Get off him!!" Lana screamed, smacking Kevin in the face with a spin kick. But Kevin's powers could make up for distance.

His fist shot out and punched Lana across her face.

"Lana!!!!" Clark screamed angrily, as Lana hit the ground and slid backwards. Clark jumped up, grabbed Kevin by his shirt, and swung him into the air. Kevin smashed against a pole and dropped to the ground. "Lana!!" Clark yelled again, rushing over to his fallen friend. Chloe and Charlie had already gone to her, but then a huge crash caused Clark to stumble. He spun around and saw Kevin smashing his huge fists into the floor, extended and right next to Clark. The platform floor below them started to give way.

"You shall all fall!!!!" Kevin screamed. Clark was about to rush over to him and just knock him down, but then the platform broke beneath him and the others around him.
