Steve Trevor takes another bite out of his hotdog.
"Okay, I still do not comprehend why they call them dog when they are made out of pig." Diana stares down her dog then takes a bite.
"Diana",Emil begins to warm up his professor voice, "The name “hot dog” comes from a cartoon drawn by T.A. Dorgan during a New York Giants baseball game at the Polo Grounds in the 1902 season. At this game, he supposedly observed a vendor, Harry Stevens, selling “hot dachshund sausages”. Dorgan, being inspired by this, drew a dachshund in a hot dog bun, but didn’t know how to spell dachshund, so just wrote “hot dog”."
"Okay." Diana replies with a full mouth.
"Actually Professor Hamilton you are incorrect," Tess Mercer sitting next to them in the upper deck seats. She is holoprojecting her image as Tess Mercer in a Gotham Goliath's jersey over her android form. "Dating back at least as early as the 1880s, it became common to call sausages “dogs”, due to the fact that people never knew exactly what meat was included in the sausages they were buying. Around that time, there were a lot of rumors that horse and dog meat were being commonly used to make sausages. There was even a song about this written in 1860 and the first documented accusations of dog meat being used in sausages is from 1845."
Diana politely places her hotdog down. Steve smiles and picks her up in his other hand,"Hey, more for me. I ate worse than dog on that island of yours."
"I killed for you the best warthog and lizards I could find." Diana smiles."If you wanted something better you should have learned to hunt."
It is a warm late summer night in the Capitol. The stadium is full for the Washington game against the rival Gotham Goliaths. The Goliaths crushed the Washington team 41-10 in the playoffs last year. The entire city of Washington D.C. has been waiting for this game.
After the instance in the 49ers/Sharks game earlier today, the D.E.O. felt having a presence at the game the President is attending would be a prudent action. Agent Trevor jumped at the idea of free tickets and all the dogs he can eat on the government dime.
The fans are supercharged but the game has gone without a problem. It is the fourth quarter with the score 28-24 Redskins.
"The Goliaths have the ball on their own 31, after a 22 yard return on the kickoff. Kane hands off to Adams and he pounds ahead for 8 yards. There are less than 45 seconds on the clock as the Goliath call a timeout. I can hardly hear myself over this crowd.
Now Kane barks the signals... the snap, the drop back... the blocking breaks down! Kane gets rid of it in a hurry in the vicinity of O'Neal the tight end. Kane brings them back to the line with a no-huddle offense. Snap is good... Torque Lewith just blew past the center and piledrove Kane for the sack. A loss of 5!
Goliaths get the timeout. It is 11 seconds and 4th and forever for the touchdown. Kane takes the snap and backpedals. The Redskins rush just three, dropping into a prevent."
"You know what I always say. All prevent does is prevent winning."
"True Coach, but Torque is breaking through the triple team. Kane is spinning away by Torque has the back of his jersey. Kane let's it go. A wobbly ball to Adams in the flat... What the.."
As the ball lands in the runningbacks hand as what feels like a gust of wind rushes through the stadium. On the opposite endzone from where the D.E.O. agents sit, a shadow covers the stands. From above a giant white eagle swoops down into the crowd and snatches a fan from the upper deck.
