Rating: T Warnings: Alcohol use/abuse Summary: Emma isn’t all too familiar with the world of online content creator conventions, and finds out the rough way how intense the gamer crowd can be when she has an unpleasant encounter with ‘The Captain’ of popular youtube trio ‘The Brothers Jones’, Killian Jones.

Emma watched her brother pace nervously around the lounge that had been set up back stage for all attending guests, along with their accompanying family and friends. She couldn’t really blame David. She’d seen the crowds pouring into the ballroom on their way to this little content creator safe haven. She had a hard time wrapping her head around the idea that millions of people could be watching her beyond a computer screen – to see even a fraction of that number of people in person? It was overwhelming. And she wasn’t even the Youtuber in the family.
“You need to relax…” Mary-Margaret sighed from where she was lounging beside Emma on the surprisingly comfy couch. “You’re getting yourself worked up over nothing.”
“How can you not be worked up?!” David turned abruptly on his heels, pausing in his pacing to give his wife a wide-eyed, incredulous stare. “Did you see all the people out there?!”
“All the same people who watch us on a daily basis,” Mary-Margaret had adopted that motherly voice she normally used for her and David’s toddler, Leo. Though Emma had heard it directed to her brother, and herself, more times than was probably necessary. “They already love you.”
