In this clip of tomorrow night’s episode of The Flash, on the CW, we get the back story to Hawkman and Hawkgirl — that they are Egyptian lovers and have been reincarnated over the course of 4,000 years, hunted by Vandal Savage in each lifetime for their life energy.

Seriously.

SERIOUSLY.

The Flash is going there.

You couldn’t get more “comic book” than that short of them doing time travel or visiting alternate universes. Oh wait, last season of The Flash was all about time travel and this season has them going back and forth between their reality and Earth-2?

It’s fearlessly embracing wacky storylines and pulp sci-fi and fantasy concepts like this that constantly makes The Flash the absolute best comic book series on the air. It unapologetically holds on to it’s comic book roots and has fun bringing them to life.

In this clip, we see Falk Hentschel in the part of Carter Hall talking to Team Flash, Team Arrow and Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renee) to tell everyone the story of who they are and who Vandal Savage is. As he tells everyone, “I was Carter Hall, but that is not who we are.” He then goes on to say, “You are Priestess Chay-Ara and I am Prince Khufu and we’re lovers. Soulmates. We’ve been partners for 4,000 years. We’re drawn to each other in each life and after we die we reincarnate to find each other again. and again and again and again.”

He then goes on to explain that Vandal Savage hunts them down in every lifetime, 206 times now, because his “life force is tied up” to their’s and that “every time he kills them, he becomes more powerful.”

This will be the first part of the two-night crossover event with The Flash and Arrow on the CW and will get all the wheels in motion for the Winter mini-series, Legends of Tomorrow!

In its second major crossover event with ‘Arrow’, Vandal Savage (guest star Casper Crump) arrives in Central City and sets his sights on Kendra Saunders (guest star Ciara Renée). After Vandal attacks Kendra and Cisco, they turn to Barry for help. Realizing how dangerous Vandal is, Barry takes Kendra to Star City and asks Oliver and team to hide her until he can figure out how to stop Vandal. However, things quickly go from bad to worse when a man with wings AKA Hawkman (guest star Falk Hentschel) shows up and flies off with Kendra. Meanwhile, Harrison develops a serum to make Barry run faster and asks Jay (guest star Teddy Sears) to test it out.

The Flash airs Tuesdays at 9 PM ET on the CW.
