Eirene has to admit that Ben is a pretty good kidnapper, at least in the tying-up of prisoners who aren't struggling. Of course, she's resisting in her own way, by making her body weight a tiny bit heavier than usual, hoping that might get him to give up this murder idea, but when he drags her into the balcony, that hope dies out.
She's not really worried about herself, being immortal, but what Ben plans to do with Rachel once she's out of the picture -- that's terribly worrying. So she tries again. "This is a bad idea. Let me go, please."
"I can't. Don't you see? Clark was made for a greater glory, but until he gives up his own desires and focuses on the rest of the world, thousands of lives are at stake." He finally gets her up onto the ledge, though Eirene is trying to focus both on him and the well-being of the unconscious girl inside.
"And mine doesn't matter?"
He's really going to do this, and her heart breaks a little for him. "I know it's not easy being a superhero's girlfriend, Eirene, but Clark has to face his destiny alone. And you're standing in the way."
A few moments later, she's over the edge and falling.
