“Really? This is a one time thing.”

“Save it for your lawyer blondie, I’ve heard it all before.” 

“I don’t care about your motives or your justification, but I do care about not getting caught and having people owe me. So don’t forget, because I won’t. You don’t want to go making enemies of people who deal with the dirty work for a living, believe me.”

There are a few half-seconds of him hesitating. He killed the man hadn’t he? Well now maybe the least he could do for the fucker was see him buried.

He grabbed the shovel and followed her lead.

“Right so how does someone get to be an  expert in burying bodies?”

“They scouted me from the sand pit.” She deadpanned, dragging the body wrapped in a blanket to soak up the blood and a tarp to stop any more contamination with much less effort than one would suspect. Stopping at the front door, she reached into a pocket and pulled out a carkey. A second later, the sound of a car boot popping open could be heard on the other side. Replacing the key in her pocket, she leant down to resume her hold on the material before turning with a sardonic grin to the little mischief maker. 

“Let’s hope your neighbours aren’t nosey.”

“Oh yeah right. I didn’t exactly ask you to come here … It was my uncle though wasn’t? Bastard.”

“Whoever he was before he’s going to be Chuck Herman soon. There’s a burial slated tomorrow at greengrove and no one looks for   a body under a body.. I'd suggest  you fetch a shovel.”

“Either you’re trying to play me or you’ve been played- this is a fake.”

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Surprise.”

“I don’t hide bodies for just anyone you know. You owe me for this.”

I haven’t delved into it over here but back on the single muse blog the default verse for Anck Su Namun was one where the original ressurection worked, but didn’t present as such until the Medjai had taken Imhotep and sent Hamunaptra back under ground so when she woke she was not only no longer human but also thoroughly alone in that ancient, terrifying place. 

This then feeds into the jump the shark! moment of movie 2 where she abandons Imhotep- because it’s not really her. You can’t bring back what’s still alive, so what Imhotep called forth when he killed Meela (who was a reincarnation only in body which the movie is never too clear on the meaning of? Doppelganger? Genetic memory? ) was whatever of her had been left behind from the first ressurection; namely her fear and rage and desperate need to survive, the worst aspects of the humanity she was forced to abandon to return to the upper world.  An emotional imprint operating as a rudimentary personality construct with the memories she held at the point of seperation and no more. 

I mean, she does have movie!verses but that was the explaination I came to to explain the total out of characterness of the second movie so…

On the topic of Imhotep: 

Anck Su Namun has known for centuries /how/ to raise imhotep. The problem with that was that she wouldn’t merely raise Imhotep but a plague against the world- and that was never what she wanted. With her first death they were supposed to be able to flee; to never look back. She didn’t want to rule, she wanted to live her life with the man she loved. 

The temptation was there for millenia, dangling above her head- raise him, be with the man you love and damn the world that cursed you so- but she never gave in. Eventually, she made to leave Egypt entirely to avoid the lure, to search out a better way. 

Which is precisely when the O’Connells enter the picture. 

Technology and travel weren’t there yet to alert her to Imhotep’s raising- she felt the phantom pains of death when Imhotep tried to raise her from the Underworld, but her hatred claimed the husk of her humanity left behind and severed any connection. 

She didn’t make it back to Egypt before he was sent back to the underworld. 

The ‘second coming’ nearly broke her; not only for Imhotep to be risen, human and whole, the best chance the had to be together again and he falls for a shade- a construct of hatred and pain and the darkness of the underworld and he can’t tell its not her. 

She almost abandons him after that, almost throws in the towel on her entire lifes’ work and leaves him to rot but no, if nothing else she owes him his life and he owes her an explanation. 

Even if she’s no longer certain they have a future.

“And what if I do not wish to wed at all? What if all I want is to ride with Brandon, and curl into my bed at Winterfell each night? What if Brothers and Father’s and Friends are all that I need in my life?”

“I suppose you are to tell me it’s a foolish wish.”
