It details Kara's arrival, and her debut as Supergirl, which goes just a little different than it did before. Not everyone is thrilled however, and CADMUS is waiting in the dark.

* BecauseYouCanCope: The main reason Kara was chosen to go back. There were other reasons such her her relationship with Astra, but this was the main reason. She's even picked up a hated nickname in the future, The Survivor.

* AlienAmongUs: No expense is spared to show us that Kara and the other Kryptonians are alien, with references to culture, religion and social traditions sprinkled throughout and forming a large part of both the social media arc and the [[spoiler; Fendra arc]]

->The walk to the Waverider’s medbay seemed both too short and too long. Too short, because she could be about to make everything worse, and too long because she was going to see her sister again, see Cat, Winn, J’onn, and all the people she’d lost since the war started.

->She just had to die to do it.

!!''FutureShock'' provides examples of:

“Hey, I told you you’d have to come to Thanksgiving dinner to unlock my tragic backstory.”

She just had to die to do it.

''FutureShock'' is a four part ''Series/Supergirl2015'' PeggySue fanfic by Argyle_s

* NighInvulnerability: Kara and her cousin have this power. Kara is shot by a trigger-happy farmer shortly after crash-landing... and she doesn't even notice the bullets.
* OrphansOrdeal: More than one decade after landing on Earth, Kara is still traumatized over her parents' loss; and torn between missing them and resenting them.
* ParentalSubstitute: Eliza and Jeremiah Danvers become Kara’s parents after finding her.
* PromotionToParent: Kal and Kara’s parents die and Kara becomes her baby cousin’s mother de facto.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Kara wants to wipe her mother's holographic message Alex talks her out of it and then berates her impulsiveness:
-->'''Alex:''' This is just like when you wanted to flush your mother's necklace. You make these quick decisions that you might regret the years from now or even tomorrow. Use your head!
* TheShrink: Dr. Jessica Ryan is Kara's psychologist.
* StressVomit: Kara is watching ''Star Wars'' for first time. When she sees the Death Star obliterating Alderaan is reminded of her own blown-up homeworld and rushes out to vomit.
-->Instead she seemed rather resigned and asked to continue the movie. She only watched for ten more minutes until the Deathstar destroyed the planet. Kara moved quickly, running outside and falling to her knees, vomiting the food she had eaten. The three ran after her, Kal El stumbling behind them. Alex knelt next to her, scared to death. She didn't think it was possible for Kara to vomit and obviously what had happened on screen effected her. She knew Kara's planet was gone but she had imagined it dead, scoured of all life, not broken up, despite what the blonde had done with the rock.\\
"Please never let Kal see that movie." she whispered, shaking, then began hyperventilating.
* SuperHeroOrigin: Origin tale that tells how Kara and her cousin arrived on Earth, were raised by a family and became the first super-heroes.

* TakeALevelInBadass: The months prior to leaving Krypton Kara was given combat training.
* ThatManIsDead: At the end of the story, Kara reasons "Kara Zor-El" died when she left Krypton.
-->'''Megan:''' Is it true? Are you... Kara Zor-El?\\
'''Supergirl:''' I used to be. That girl died on Krypton. I think just Kara works now.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. Kara goes to a therapist to help with her self-esteem and recklessness issues.
* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Invoked when Connolly warns the Danvers the DEO searches aliens and kills them or experiments on them.
-->'''Jeremiah:''' Apparently this DEO is in the business of killing aliens or... experimenting on them. They have all been racing to find you but the DEO has given up, he believes.
* WorldsStrongestMan: Kara is the Earth's most powerful woman by far. Only two men can contest that position, and one of them is her cousin.

->'''Megan:''' Is it true? Are you... Kara Zor-El?\\
'''Supergirl:''' I used to be. [[ThatManIsDead That girl died on Krypton.]] I think just Kara works now.
