Bigby nods to Linda, who hits the pause button.
"It just goes on like this for about half an hour. If you want to watch the whole thing, you can, but all I can make out from it is that Wally left his collection of Flash-themed pogs to Booster Gold."
Closing the door behind him, Bigby faces the many people staring at him.
"None of you came here to find out which piece of Wally's personal effects you got from him, anyways.
You're here to see who the murderer is. Yeah, even you guys here just for the sensationalism of it all."
He motions his cigarette towards Logan and Creed.
"I know who killed Wally West. That person is in this room right now. The only thing I can't understand...the one thing I can't determine...is why?"
"Why, Ted? Why did you do it?"

He's probably still bitter about his own recent demise.
*turns everyone into a red X*

An audible gasp was quickly followed by a hushed silence while all eyes gravitated towards Ted Kord. Though she knew she should be relieved that she was no longer a suspect, the knot in her stomach only wound itself tighter. A tear formed at the corner of her eye while the image of her dead friend faded in and out of view only to be replaced by Ted's shocked visage.
"T - Ted did it?"

"It was in this room, Kord, that you killed Wally West. BUT-"
Before Kord can answer, Bigby sticks a hand in his face.
"It was an accident, wasn't it? Somehow, the two of you ended up here-only you and Grayson of the suspects would have been able to be quiet enough in your attack to avoid arousing Mrs. West's suspicions...And when West ran home, you were with him.
If I were to warrent a guess, Kord, I'd say that Wally's pissy demeanor from his argument with his wife and his fist fight with d**k Grayson rubbed off on his little 'therapy session' with you. Did you get tired of hearing West b***h and moan? Did you feel he wasn't sympathetic to the fact that, like Morningstar said, you've had your OWN problems to deal with recently?"
Bigby clamps a heavy hand down on Kord's shoulder.
"The stun gun you used on West was only supposed to knock him out, wasn't it."

"It WAS an electrical charge that stopped Wally's heart...from a device you created for your OWN heart condition! I have the patent evidence right HERE-"
Bigby throws some papers from the inner pocket of his coat at Kord.
"Along with pictures of a prototype. Small. Compact. Easy to hide."
Ted rises, and Bigby backs up, not breaking eye contact with the murderer.
"You panicked when you realized your little shock toy hadn't just knocked Wally out-when you saw he was dead, you lost your mind. You saw that he was beat up, bloody and raw, and decided to stage things-to throw suspicion off of yourself. Reaching into this desk, you grabbed the knife and STABBED HIM IN THE BACK!"
Bigby reaches into the vcr and ejects the tape.
"You were insane with rage. Each and every staticy point on this tape is you, shocking West again and again. You lost control, Kord. You became what you hate most."

Bigby stares at Kord as he rises.
"Yes. It was me. I did it."
The gasps in the audience are loud.
"It was...it was an accident! And I panicked! I'd never want to kill Wally! I know how it feels! I-"
"You'll do nothing, Kord. You won't do anything, any more. I promised Mrs. West. I told her I couldn't bring her husband back, but I could bring the killer to justice."
Kord sighs.
"All right. Arrest me, then."
"Arrest? You and I have a different idea of what's justice, Kord..."
Long claws start to grow on Bigby's hands....

Perks up at the mention of Ted being the murderer. After lighting a cigar of his own, the Canadian feral sat back and listened, while standing next to Creed. Not really much else for him to be doing.

Amazingly fast, the room parts like the red sea...creating empty space between Bigby and Kord. Lightning flashes outside as thunder peels, causing the paintings on the walls to rattle.
Soon, it's a wolf man staring down Kord, unsure of what to do....
"And now, the case is over. Time to bring some closure..."
Bigby Wolf leaps forward, sending chairs flying as Beetle dives out of the way.
"STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Linda shrieks as Bigby topples a bookcase.
"Doing what I do best."
A brilliant flash of lightning strikes outside, turning the entire room white for an instant.

Remy turns and glares at the murderer revealed and growls angrily,
"You son of a b***h!"
Remy makes a move toward Ted but a hand on his arm stops him.

The lightning dies outside....and in between Kord and Bigby is a staggering being....
"This...this is where....."
And Wally West falls to the ground, surrounded by astonished people.

With all the sudden lights and rattling and unknown going one, Logan crouches, holding his arms wide with a clear -snkt- sheering his claws into view. Cigar held tight between teeth, he growled.
"What the flamin' Hell is goin' on!?"

Kitty looked on as Wally appeared in front of the crowd. She gasped in astonishment. She mouthed Wally's name and brought a hand to her mouth in disbelief. This couldn't be happening. Was it really him?

*leans on the back of a chair, smirking and lighting a cigarette with his fingertips*
Didn't I say someone in all this had a sense of drama?
