A Past Love Returns

Disclaimer - None of it's mine! Or is it….checks papers of ownership to see they say something about how it IS NOT the property of Ven Valerius and it IS the property of JK and whoever really . Okay, so maybe it isn't mine… but some of the plot is.

Standard AN : This is where the actual slash comes in. I apologize if I have disappointed anyone for how the last one ended. But this isn't ten years later….more like 15 I liked the character of Alex O'Connell but didn't like the third Mummy Movie - Hands up…. who liked it? Anyway, Harry is officially Immortal. So when Imhotep was reincarnated, the Gods gave his reincarnation the immortality.

Personal AN: I'm not dead! Hurray!

Chapter Six

Meeting Family

Ramses went back to his hotel and checked out and the two of them went to Karnak and to Harry's home.

Isaac met them at the door and Harry hugged him and kissed his lips in front of Ramses. It was something that Haru never would have done in his past life but apparently his current incarnation had learned that hidden love implied that one was ashamed of their love.

It just had to be Imhotep's incarnation that he fell for!

"Love, aren't you going to introduce us?" Isaac asked as he eyed the dark haired and eyed stranger who stood in the shade of one of several monoliths that was spread throughout Karnak.

Harry stepped back, "How rude am I…. Ramses, meet my love Isaac - the immortal incarnation of Imhotep, High Priest of Egypt. Isaac, meet my baby brother Ramses - son of Seti - Prince of Egypt."

"I was a Pharaoh, you realize." Ramses retorted.

"I was already dead. That doesn't count." Harry countered.

Ramses nodded, "It is good to meet the part of you that is not bound by the Hom-Dai."

Isaac bowed, "Thank you, Lord Ramses."

"Let's return indoors, the sun beats down heavily upon us."

Ramses couldn't help it, "What… not enjoying the gifts of Ra?"

"I enjoy Ra's gifts plenty. It's that sandstorm that has me worried." he said and forced the two others to look to the west and then race inside and shut the door moments before the sand hit the house. Fortunately, the wind had been blowing heavily for the last few days so they didn't have to worry about the windows.

Isaac immediately went to the kitchen, "Anyone want anything to drink?"

"Water." Harry called out.

"The same." Ramses affirmed.

Isaac nodded and brought a crystal pitcher full of delicious icy water and three crystal glasses on a wooden try and brought it into the living room where Ramses was sitting on a chair opposite from his brother with the coffee table between them.

The drinks were quickly poured and they sat in silence.

"So… what is it about being former Princes that have turned the two of you into teachers?" Isaac asked suddenly.

Ramses looked at his older brother, "You still get visions?" he asked, remembering how rare they were and how they immobilized his brother. Their father's worst fear was that the Gods would deem that Haru needed to know something in the heat of battle that would result in Haru's death. Fortunately, that did not happen.

Harry nodded, "At times, when there is something the Gods want me to know."

"And what do you mean by still?" Isaac asked curiously.

"You would not know of them. Imhotep was never told, our father thought it too dangerous for anyone beyond the Royal Family to know. Only father, Nefertiri and Haru and I knew of what the Gods gave him."

"He didn't trust Anck-Su-Namun?" Isaac asked curiously.

Ramses eyes darkened and he glared at the memory of the woman that had been involved with the deaths of half of his family. "No, and no one else ever found out. Nefertiri took the secret to her grave and as far as I understand no one among our descendants ever received the gift."

Isaac nodded his understanding, "That's heavy. Do you have any kiddos left around these days?"

Ramses nodded, "I kept track of my line through the ages. As neither Haru nor Nefertiri had any children. The line married into several dynasties after ours and they are now to be found amidst the "Bey" line."

"Like… Ardeth Bey? The Medjai?" Harry asked, incredulously. Then again, he'd thought that Ardeth had Haru's mother's eyes... and had told the Medjai so.

Ramses nodded, "Yes. A worthy descendant even if I have to say so myself."

Harry looked at him with surprise, "Ardeth Bey is my grandkid? Twilight Zone anyone?"

Ramses frowned, "What?"

"It was a radio show. It described things like how in a world of perceived "Ugly" People it is the "Beautiful" Person who is considered Ugly." Harry explained.

"Reality and Fantasy."

Harry nodded.

Ramses nodded, "Harry, could I ask you of something?"

"Sure."

"Our father… did he know of Anck-Su-Namun's deceit?"

Harry shrugged, "In the end, I know he did but he never suspected it beforehand. We were Gods among Men Ramses. No one would have dared to defy us. It took powerful magic to force Imhotep to defy us."

"And even then, it only affected the mortal soul." Isaac commented with his head bowed. "I can remember trying to fight the curse even as I slit your throat." Isaac said with his shame evident on his face.

Ramses' face darkened. "Isaac, we forgive you of your sins against the House of Seti. May you remember but may you be forgiven."

Isaac nodded, "I will never forget, Prince of Egypt and I am humbled by your forgiveness. I accept it from the deepest part of my soul."

"So, to change the subject…. Nefertiri is my cousin." Harry said as he looked at Ramses.

"Cousin. You had no siblings?"

Harry shook his head, "No, my parents are dead. Murdered when I was a small child."

Ramses growled, "I hope you killed their murderer."

"I did."

"Good."

"Anyway, Nefertiri is an archaeologist here. She's got the Bracelet of Anubis."

Ramses's eyes widened, "No!"

"Why? What's the big deal?" Isaac asked.

"Do you not remember the Bracelet of Anubis that Nefertiri was made the guardian of?" Harry asked his lover.

Isaac's eyes widened. "It's here. In Karnak. Why didn't I connect the dots!" he exclaimed, jumping up and only being stopped by Harry from going and forcibly taking the bracelet from Evy.

"You haven't known very long." Harry said gently.

"Where is it?" Ramses demanded. "If someone puts it on…"

"They start the Apocalypse." Harry said as he jumped from his seat, kissed his lover on the lips quickly before grabbing his brother's hand and apparating to his cousin's wing of his home. His house could easily be known as a sort of double house as he resided in one half with Isaac and then there was a courtyard and then there was another house/building where his library and guest rooms were.

Where Evy, Rick, Lily and Alex were.

"Harry!" she said with a smile as he appeared with a man who sort of reminded her of Ardeth but this stranger was wearing a suit and appeared at ease in it. He looked a little disoriented as he looked at Harry in amazement but that was common with people who only knew of her cousin's reputation.

"Where is the Bracelet?" Harry demanded.

"There. Why?" Evy said as she pointed to the chest.

Harry grabbed the necklace key after it flew into his hand and walked over to the bracelet. The chest was locked - and empty.

"Niy!" Ramses exclaimed as he stalked over to the chest. "Brother, what are we going to do. We now only have…"

"English. Please." Rick said, irritated.

Harry and Ramses turned to Rick.

"As you wish." Ramses said mockingly. "One of you has started the Apocalypse."

"What?" Lily asked, pale. She knew that her cousin didn't lie about things like this.

"You're shittin' me."

Harry and Ramses looked at each other knowingly.

"It was not Rick." Harry stated firmly. "Oh and this is my sorta kinda brother, Ramses of Egypt. Ramses meet Evy, Rick, Alex and Lily."

They nodded their greetings and Lily smiled and joyfully shook Ramses' hand - much to their amusement.

"Nor I." Evy declared, even though it was obvious that she wasn't wearing the bracelet.

They turned to Alex, who fidgeted.

"It doesn't do anything cool. All I saw was the temple at Philae." Alex grumbled and revealed the bracelet on his fourteen year old arm.

Harry growled, and spoke in Egyptian. "Alex, you have signed your own death decree. You have seven days from now until the Scorpion King rises and if you are not there you are dead."

Alex paled. "What?"

Ramses looked at the bracelet. "Three Thousand years ago, my sister protected this with her life. Now you have declared all that she did to be worthless with your actions."

"Ramses."

"Haru, you might be my elder but do not try to understand what you cannot. Your soul was no longer amongst us. Nefertiri was not the woman who had watched you and Father die. She changed, we all had to. Eleri became my wife when you could not marry her. We still had a treaty to uphold." Ramses said as he sat down on a stool.

"Now, three thousand years later we look for what we cannot change while we still hope to change it." Haru said sorrowfully. "Little brother, come. Let us save our cousin's life."

Ramses nodded curtly. "Let us kill the King."

They turned to Alex.

"Mum… Dad?" Alex said, nearly fainting from the feral look on their faces.

"Evy, we have to borrow Alex for a few days." Harry said as he looked at them with a look that nearly begged them to trust him.

"No." Evy declared.

"What?"

"My son will not go anywhere without me."

"Make that two." Rick avowed.

"Three." Isaac declared. "You can't go off and save the world without me, mi pharaohey."

"Four." Lily declared firmly with her hands on her hips trying to look stern but when that failed she admitted. "I'll get to use my magic around you lot."

Harry smiled as he and Ramses looked at each other. "I guess this has turned into a family outing."
