AU: Told you I was adding another chapter right away! HA! Story is still dedicated to Miles333. And I got it up quickly just like you asked! Btw it is now 02:51 am in the uk and it is official I have insomnia! The doctors in my head diagnosed the cause 3 seconds ago…adrenaline from over excitement due to the pure awesomeness of this fic!
Disclaimer: I do not in any way own Justice League…though it would be a nice birthday/Christmas present.

They stood in the doorway of Flash's apartment, though Fate didn't know this. He timidly stuck his head in and looked around eyeing the clothes strewn all over the place, he scrunched his nose up at the mouldy half-eaten pizzas sitting on the edges of cabinets and sticking out of some of the boxes in the pile by the bin.
"You've got. To. Be. Kidding." Normally Fate didn't mind the state of people's homes, but at the moment he was particularly vulnerable to slip-ups, and he was grossed out. "Tell me you don't actually live in this!" Flash shoved the reluctant mystic into the apartment.
"Of course not! We're in my mind remember! My apartment normally has a cardboard cut-out of me right over there!" he pointed to a section of the room. "Just make yourself at home!" Fate just stood there as Flash zipped around his apartment eventually stopping in the kitchen area.
"I need to find out what's happened and rectify it. I must study."
"What are you a college student!?! If you need the internet, the computer's over there…though…you might want to move some of the, magazines out of the way…unless you wanna read 'em of course!!!... but you don't really strike me as the porn magazine type." Fate just looked at Flash shocked.
"First off…it's common for me to study the works of the magic of order. Secondly…what I wish to study cannot be acquired from the internet, only from my home in Salem, and thirdly… I…" He paused for a moment contemplating something, "…and thirdly, I am happily married."
"Well I've never been to Salem before…but we can go there now if you like." Flash began to walk over to him, but he shook his head.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple…we cannot go anywhere that you…your mind hasn't been. If we tried to we'd just end up somewhere that your mind imagines Salem to be like…and then we would be in a spot of bother." Flash's smile disappeared and his shoulders slumped.
"So what do we do?"
"I don't know…we'll have to wait until I think of something."
"How long will that be?"
"I'm not sure…an hour, a week, a year? There's no way to tell." Flash began to panic.
"So…what!?!...what will happen to us!?! I mean…what will happen to our human selves?"
"Have you ever read the chronicles of Narnia Flash?"
"Yeah as a kid…why?"
"You know the idea of how, you are in Narnia for 50 years, yet you come back and it's only been a few seconds? This is the same principle."
"So what do we do until we can get back?"
"Wait…carry on as if nothing has changed…although…that may be a bit more difficult for me than for you."
"Why?"
"I currently have no home…which means limited knowledge for one, no wife, no money, no change of clothes…nothing except what's on my back and up in the watchtower, which isn't much."
"Uh…" Flash had no idea what to do. He zipped over to the couch and quickly shoved all of the mess off of it. Then he proudly signaled to the couch. "You can sleep here for the time being, if you like." Fate sighed and walked over to the couch.
This is going to be a long night. This was the first despairing thought for the century-old magician.
