Chapter 2 lives here.

Summary: Location Challenge Submission! Lois and Clark travel to Egypt to cover a huge archeological discovery that will ultimately debut at the Museum of Metropolis. One of Perry’s oldest friends is on the dig site, and when mysterious things start to happen, he asks for his old friend’s help. Perry’s solution, of course, is to send his best investigative team to get to the bottom of the ‘curse of the mummy’ that is plaguing the dig. But as things heat up in the investigation, things heat up between Lois and Clark, too.

A/N: This takes place in season 2. Its best place is likely a couple of episodes after Arianna Carlin wreaks havoc in Madame Ex, probably the week after we meet The Prankster, but before Mayson complicates things in Church of Metropolis (and certainly before Lex comes back in The Phoenix).

Enormous thanks to 90stvfangirl who kindly agreed to beta back when this story was supposed to be a sweet little 75 pages.

Again, at least 3 pages of historical notes coming along with the epilogue for anyone who’s into that, since they’re very spoilery.

The mystery begins!

Any comments are always appreciated! notworthy
