"Soul mates?" Lois repeats still not believing H.G.Wells' news.

"Wherever his was, there was yours, never one without the other. Two lovers, destined to meet and fall in love over and over again throughout time! Anyway," he says, remembering himself. "That's the good news. The bad news is... unless you go back to the time of the curse and stop it from being cast, tragedy will strike you down in every lifetime, every time you... consummate, and usually it's very painful."

"Do we even have a choice?" Clark asks curiously, but without any real hope.

"Abstinence?" Wells suggests.

Lois and Clark both stand up. "No way," Lois says.

"No, not a chance, forget it!" Clark agrees.

In a woodsy area, Clark arrives along with H.G Wells. "Are we here?" he asks when he notices the outfit he's wearing, a black leather outfit with a black cape and a black mask. "What am I wearing?" he asks before he notices Lois isn't with them. "Where's Lois?"

"There," H.G. Wells answers covering his eyes.

To Clark's and also Lois's surprise, Lois is riding on a white horse, totally naked. "Oh my god!" Lois exclaims when she notices she isn't wearing any clothes and that her dark hair is so long it's hitting her waist.

"Lois!" Clark tries to get her attention but Wells stops him. "What?" Clark asks angrily. "I want to find out who the son of the bitch is who did this to her."

"You have nobody to blame but Lois. Clark, you can't stop her now, she has to finish her ride," Wells explains.

"What?" Clark asks in disbelief. "Wait a minute. Are you saying that Lois is…. was…. Lady Godiva?"

"Precisely," Wells answers with a smile. "You see, Lois or Lady Godiva is married to Tempusfric, Duke of Mercia. However, Godiva feel in love with Calvin, you, and you are secrets lovers. She decides to go on this ride in protest of the high taxes her husband has put upon the people of Shropshire. Actually you are the one who gave her the idea."

"I'm the one who made her ride a horse naked?" Clark asks still confused.

"No, no, no. It was her idea. It was the only away to make them pay attention to her. You were the one to put it in her head that she should do something to make her husband lower the taxes."

"So, Godiva and Calvin are in love but she's married to Tempusfric?" Clark repeats trying to understand.

"Yes, but you also have a secret identity here. As you can see by the outfit you are wearing. You are known by your enemies, including Tempusfric, as The Dark Avenger."

"What? I look like Zorro," Clark said already annoyed. "So, what am I gonna do now?" he asks when he notices Lois next to him still on the horse.

"Clark!" Lois says relieved.

"Lois, don't stop. You are Lady Godiva and you have to finish this ride!" Clark explains to her.

"I'm who?" Lois asks in disbelief. "Great. I can't come back as Catherine the Great or Joan of Arc. I have to come back as the naked lady in the chocolate box."

After Wells explains everything to Lois about the importance of her ride, they schedule a meeting in a cave next to Sir Calvin's property.

"Why am I not surprised that Clark also has a secret identity here," Lois says with a smirk. "Okay, I'll do my ride and meet you guys later. I hope Tempus doesn't try to stop me. Do you have a robe or something? I'm start to freezing here."

"Here," Clark hands her his cape. "But Lois, I think it's better if you finish your ride … ah… the away you are… natural. It's not good to change such important events," he says with a naughty smile.

Lois rolls her eyes at his comment, "You must love seeing me like this right?" But before Clark can answer she stops him. "Never mind. It's so obvious. Okay, I'll do my ride and I'll meet you guys back at the cave."
