The description for Starfire

Kori Anders’ summer job at a ritzy Santa Monica beach club is fun, but she doesn't feel like she belongs there. She never breaks the rules, she doesn’t care about keeping up with the current trends, and she can’t be bothered rushing around to make an appearance at all the parties—in fact, Kori avoids rushing at all costs because of her Ehlers Danlos Syndrome diagnosis. What she does feel is an inexplicable draw to the stars.

Her older sister, Kira, on the other hand, is the most popular girl around. With the hottest clothes, an even hotter boyfriend (the Tate Fairweather), and a take-no-prisoners attitude, she’s Kori’s opposite in every way. Sadly, Kori doesn’t think Tate is a good fit for her sister, and nothing she says will convince Kira to break up with him.

The summer heats up when Tate’s uncle, Lynch Fairweather, CEO of a major pharmaceutical company, asks Kori and Kira to participate in a clinical trial designed to advance treatments for EDS. During treatment, Kori begins to discover some strange powers that she has never had before…and she might not be the only one.

Can Kori uncover the truth about her powers and find a way to persuade her sister to trust her before it’s too late?

Interesting that Blackfire is given a English name for the first time and it's not Kom but Kira

"Santa Monica Beach Club" - Well, that checks out.

So what is it a fake disease or condition limiting their powers?

If they've been raised on Earth and believing themselves to be humans, would make sense that they have English names. Unlike "Kori," which is a real name, "Kom" isn't.

From the description, have to wonder if this comic is going to be depicting Blackfire as not being a villain, given the suggestions that Starfire is trying to save her rather than escape her, or something. I don't have a problem with that and it could be an interesting way to keep some surprises in store (like how that Young Justice cartoon flipped the script on their take of The Judas Contract with Terra becoming a genuine hero, while Geo-Force, a committed superhero in the comics, was the one to fall to the dark side). It would be such a change from the usual set up that, though, that it's hard to shake the notion that there's a catch or something.

Or maybe side effects of their powers developing? Dollars to donuts, the company testing them is just a HIVE front looking for more supers to weaponize and they'd need some clue that these kids were targets.

It sounds like they care about each other as sisters but I feel like Blackfire's emotional instability and bad attitude will make her turn on Kori.

That certainly would be a more tragic way to play it out, if so.
