Yay, another chapter. Anyways, I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed so far, and I hope you have enjoyed the story so far. So, here's the first part in a three or maybe four part event called the Battle at Luthor Mansion. So this is part one, enjoy.

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

Sitting alone in his room, Clark Kent questioned his choices and actions. He knew Lana had to be stopped, but he didn't want to hurt her. But he didn't want more of his friends to be injured.

Figuring the pattern of Lana's attacks, Clark decided to call Lex to inform him about what's been going on.

Clark made his way downstairs, and found both Martha and Jonathan asleep on the couch. He smiled, and then picked up the phone, dialing Lex's number.

The line rang for about a minute, and then someone picked up.

"Help!!!" Clark's head bent back, as a blaring shout sounded from the receiver. "There's a crazy girl here!! Whoever you are, call for help!!" The voice screamed. But Clark was the help, and he was already halfway to the mansion.

Lex's massive house seemed peaceful enough. There were no overturned cars, no shattered windows, and no one outside. But that didn't convince Clark.

Clark flung open the front door, and instantly shifted to X-ray vision. Everything turned a shade of blue, with black, gray, and white. Clark zoomed past a few walls, and found a skeleton in the library. He quickly refocused his vision, and hurried to the library.

Inside was one of Lex's guards. He was unconscious, but there was a phone hanging off the hook.

If he called a minute ago, then that means Lana must be close by. Clark quickly exited the library, once again focusing on his X-ray vision to see through the walls. After a moment, Clark realized that there was no one else on the first floor beside him and the unconscious guard. He quickly sped up the closest staircase, and found a fire burning out of control along the wall.

Clark was about to try and prevent the flame from growing, but a burst of fire from far down the hall grabbed his attention. Clark sped to the corner, and peered around it.

Lana was farther down the hall, but Lex was right in front of Clark. Lana's eyes suddenly emitted the heat ray vision that Clark knew so well. It was directed at Lex.

"Get down!!" Clark shouted to his friend, although even he would have ducked real fast, Clark still would have taken him to the ground. The heat ray missed, igniting another flame on the wall behind them. Clark yanked Lex up just as Lana aimed again, not letting up on her fiery gaze.

Clark spun, holding Lex, so he would be in between Lex and the heat ray. Lana's attack scorched Clark's back, but did not burn his skin. It did not surprise him either as Lana had taken a fond of shooting heat rays at Clark.

"Go!!!" Clark shouted, shoving Lex forward, his back still on fire and burning through his clothes. Lex didn't think twice as he took off around the corner, Clark barreling after him half expecting another heat ray. But he turned to glance as he round the corner, and saw no Lana. That's when he knew she was in front of him.

Clark snapped his attention back to Lex to seem him being lifted of his feet, Lana holding him up by the front of his shirt.

"Lana, I know this isn't you! You have to stop all of this!" Lex pleaded, but Lana did not seem to want to listen. She pivoted, and flung Lex straight towards a window at the end of the hall.

But Clark wasn't about to let that happen. He sped past Lana and the flying Lex, stopping right in front of the window. Lex dropped right into Clark's arms. Before Lex could question Clark's super quick catch though, Lana's heat vision was already playing with fire. It was aimed right in between Clark and Lex. The flame ignited onto the front of Clark's shirt, as some of it dropped onto the front of Lex's shirt.

Clark instantly slapped his hand over the flame, trying to put it out, but making sure not to hurt Lex. He quickly dropped Lex onto his feet, as he was still on fire.

"Clark!!!" Lex yelled right in front of him as trying to tell him that he was on fire. Of course, Clark didn't really care. But of course, he didn't want all his clothes to burn off.

That sight might shock Lana enough to snap back to her old self, Clark thought amusingly, but instantly went back to being serious.

The first flame on his back had burnt all of the back of Clark's jacket and T-shirt, and had already started burning the top of his jeans. Some of the flame was working up his shoulders.

The second flame was burning the middle of the front of Clark's T-shirt, and it started to sing his jacket as well as his jeans.

Not wanting to convince Lex that he wasn't human even more, Clark flung his burnt jacket behind him, showing his smoking T-shirt. There were a few strips across his broad shoulders, and a large hole in the front, so Clark just grabbed onto it, and tore it apart, dropping the smoldering T-shirt pieces to the ground. He kept his jeans on though, as they had only been burnt off at the top, revealing part of his boxers showing that were covered in suit. As was the rest of his upper body, from chest to arms to back, and even on his face.

He looked at Lex who only had a small burnt hole in the front of his shirt. Luckily, his skin hadn't really been burned.

But the sound of car wheels screeching to a halt outside made Clark turn and gaze quickly out the window. Two figures Clark recognized stepped out of an expensive car. Clark knew they would just complicate matters.

A/N: So, who could those to people that just arrived be? Well, here's some hints. One is a guest star from the show, and the other one is someone who has traveled to Lex's mansion so many times. The second mystery person might give a clue to the first because the two know each other. How will Clark be able to watch three peoples' backs at once against Lana? Please review.
