19	!!Tropes that are part of ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot'':
20
21	* TheBusCameBack: Victor Ramón first appeared in [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS3E11BouncingBack "Bouncing Back"]] as a member of the corrupt ''policía'' of Colombia. It's his actions in that episode (killing Elena's cousin) that make Elena want to find him in this series.
22	* CallBack: The glowing machine that Victor Ramón steals is the same device that Coulson's team found in [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E2084 "0-8-4"]] and that Garrett stole and was eventually killed with by Coulson in [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E22BeginningOfTheEnd "Beginning of the End."]]
23	* CallForward: Yo-Yo puts the idea in Simmons' mind of getting an apartment outside of S.H.I.E.L.D. Simmons takes to it, with her saying "Perhaps a breakfast nook?" In a Season 4 episode set after the events of this series, [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS4E4LetMeStandNextToYourFire "Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire,"]] Simmons was apartment hunting, specifically one with a breakfast nook.
24	* ADayInTheLimelight: A secondary/ensemble character in ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'', Elena Rodríguez gets the primary focus in this web series.
25	* DodgeTheBullet: Yo-Yo is a speedster, so she easily dodges the energy blast that one of the Watchdogs fires on her...but Victor Ramón doesn't.
26	* DoWrongRight: May is mainly annoyed that Yo-Yo was sloppy when she broke the rules.
27	* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Yo-Yo ''wants'' to shoot Ramón, but stops. He still ends up dead due to [[KarmicDeath the device he was trying to sell]] to the Watchdogs.
28	* LudicrousGibs: What the glowing device does to people. It did it to John Garrett and it did it in this series to Victor Ramon.
29	* SuperSpeed: Yo-Yo's superpower is moving so fast that ''nobody'' can see her.
30	* WholeEpisodeFlashback: The web series begins after [[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS4E8TheLawsOfInfernoDynamics the winter finale]] when Daisy is back at S.H.I.E.L.D. and no longer a fugitive, but it flashes back to before the first episode of the fourth season, when she was just starting out as vigilante and Coulson and Mack assigned to find her.
