It takes Clark barely any time to speed to Oliver's condo. Rachel's lying on the floor when he arrives, but in checking her pulse, he can tell she's till alive. That's when he hears the voices out on the balcony and look sup just in time to see Ben push Eirene over the edge.
He doesn't even think, he just moves and before Clark knows it, he's falling. Except... not really, because he's in control. Sort of. He's gaining on Eirene, at least, and within a matter of milliseconds is able to pluck her out of the air into his arms, holding her tight against him.
The landing is pretty much perfect, feet first, taking the full force of the blow on his own. He doesn't even stumble. And he'll tell himself it was probably better to land on a car than the street, even if it is totalled. At least this way, the road is still usable.
