I'm no historian but I'm not a tourist at all. You pick up a lot of things at the dinner table when your father is a community worker. I've lived in Dakota all my life and although, those old coots down at Sadler could bore you with stories about how Dakota was founded by Governer Mc blah blah blah, I'm gonna give three straight facts about Dakota from the defender of Dakota City, the Kilowatt Kid and definitely not the son of Black Lightning. Fact number one. Dakota is not dead. At least yet. I'll say this. Dakota was and still is a city of potential. Besides, why would every Wall Street investor pump millions of dollars into our ports five years ago? Every citizen of Dakota City has an unwavering tenacity to them in the face of inescapable hope. We work our hardest everyday to make sure the city doesn't fall apart, even as it collapses around us. Fact number two. Dakota was not better before the Big Bang. Every local person I've met gets teary-eyed about the days, reminiscing about the good old days before the Big Bang. I'm sorry to burst that big bubble of yours but Dakota never experienced a golden age in its entire lifetime. It lagged behind the rest of America when the Industrial Revolution came knocking. Due to its position on one of the Five Great Lakes and the complete lack of government oversight, bootlegging and trafficking across the Canadian-USA border prospered. Every gang in Dakota City can trace their origins back to these mules. About all of that investment? Well, even with all those fat stacks of cash, the city council decided to spend all of it on vanity projects just to pump their own egos. Who needs larger hospitals when you could have a marina that no one uses unless they want to fork out a ludicrously large sum of rent? The predictions of economists failed to take into account corruption. And don't even get me started on how skewed the election process for becoming mayor is. My dad's stories of his own campaign are enough on a indictment already. Fact number three. Dakota City has the highest concentration of meta-humans on the mid-eastern region. At least, one paper from S.T.A.R Labs officially said so until the city council denied the possibility of there. The official state census is that there are currently 10 existing and alive Bang Babies within Dakota City. Why is it then that I faced more than 15 different Bang Babies during those first weeks of chaos? Why is it that the hospitals are currently reporting melted doorways, busted walls and empty hospital beds with over 80 unaccounted people who were exposed to the Big Bang? The Big Bang has made Dakota City into one big chemical reaction that's waiting to happen and trust me, just when it seems like it's settling down, someone's gonna be stupid enough to light the fuse. When it does happen, I hope I'll be there to meet it head-on.
