Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans.
Okay, this chapter explains everything about the powers, so you don't have to keep guessing. I just hope it makes sense to you. Also, please don't get on to me for this chapter being short. I mean it is mostly conversation. Anyways, I hope ya'll enjoy this. On with the fic! :)

She was cold, but her shoulder was on fire and felt as if she had a knife shoved through it. Of course, a knife was shoved through your shoulder. She cracked open an eye and instantly had to close them again. It was bright, almost blinding. She sat up and all pain faded. Confused at the sudden feel of, well, no pain, she stood on shaky legs, and glanced around. Everywhere she turned, it was bright and white. She glanced down and found that a flowing white gown replaced her tattered and bloody shirt and jeans.
She whimpered, baffled at the change in scenery. Shouldn't I be in the large mansion, with Robin, Raven, and Beast Boy? "Where am I?" She asked herself.
"Your in between the living and the dead, Starfire." She glanced around, and froze. A woman, who looked exactly like Starfire, except for the large dark green eyes and hip length red curly hair, stepped forward, her gown similar to Star's.
She smiled, stepping in front of the teen. "I'm Starlight." Starfire still couldn't speak. What did this girl mean that she was between the living and the dead?
The girl laughed, a deep sound that sounded almost like Starfire's laugh, except lower. "Yes, your between the living and dead. It means that you are not exactly living, yet not exactly dead. Sit down."
A white swing, surround by white flowers appeared out of nowhere, and Starfire hesitantly sat down next to Starlight.
"I know you're confused, but let me explain." Starfire watched her, waiting for an explanation.
"Centuries ago, I went up against Apollo, with Rhea, my best friend. We were slaughtered in the process, but sent him to the underworld. Ha, that didn't last long. His brother summoned him to the land of the living, and that is when this all started.
"Every hundred years, two women, who are the direct ancestors of us, would go up against Apollo, and when they were on the verge of death, Rhea and I would take over their bodies' and fight Apollo, but alas, we were always defeated. But, the women were not strong enough to overpower him.
"And then you had that wreck, taking your powers away." Starlight stood up and paced. "I'm sure your wondering how you get your powers back at a certain time. You shouldn't be able to get them at all, but I some how changed the rules, due to pathetic begging, which I hate doing. When you are in need of saving, or your anger takes over, you will be able to dip in to your powers and use them. But, only then will you be able to. The rest of the time, you are human. And, regrettably, this is how it will always be. But, do not fear, for you will still be able to help fight battles with your teammates. And, for Raven, she will be able to feel now." Starlight smiled. "Rhea made sure of that."
"Earlier, when I mentioned that we take over the girls bodies, I never told you why I am not doing it to you. You are the key to destroying Apollo. Only you and Raven will be able to do it, not Rhea and I. You are the only way to bring him down.
"And that is why you will not die form the wound you now obtain. At least not until Apollo is defeated will you perish. Hopefully, not even then but I cannot make any promises, will you be able to survive. You see, Rhea and I are wondering souls. We cannot rest in peace until Apollo is dead. Like you at the time being, we are between the living and the dead, though we are not allowed to mingle with the living."
Starlight smiled. "Do you understand what I am saying?"
Starfire raised an eyebrow. "Where is Rhea, the friend that you speak so highly of?"
"Rhea is protecting Raven until you wake from this. Raven is defending you, for your teammates think you dead. Your Robin, who reminds me of my dear Rogan, is still screaming out your name, hoping to rouse you from your unconscious state. He loves you dearly, Starfire and it is breaking his heart to see you bleeding and unconscious at his feet."
Starfire's eyes watered. "May I return to protect them and defeat Apollo?"
Starlight held up a long finger. "I wish to give you this armor. It will protect you from Apollo's powers. I will give it to Raven also, but I cannot do it until you are back on earth. It will also keep the pain at bay, which you both need desperately. I will also give you my arrows. I know you have never wielded a bow and arrow, but with my knowledge, which I am bestowing onto you, you can defeat Apollo. Juts watch behind you. He loves to do things dirty.
"Rhea has decided to give Raven the gift of wielding a sword. Your powers will run through these weapons, making them stronger than any normal weapon. And I have great faith in you, Starfire. I know you will make sure Apollo is punished dearly for his sins he has committed over the centuries. But no pressure." Starlight winked when she said the last sentence.
She started to walk around Starfire, taking in everything as if she were fitting clothes. "Your about my size, a tad shorter, but more curvy and muscled, which I would have been greatly jealous of if I were flesh and blood. Your hair is shorter and straighter, but that is not important. I can easily braid it."
She clapped her hands in joy. "Oh, this will be so much fun. Well, getting you ready for war, which is exactly what it will be. But that is not the fun part. I have a feeling that you will look better in armor than I. Shall I work my magic?"
Starfire nodded. "I am ready."
Starlight rolled her eyes. "Don't look so glum, honey. It's not as if you are going into...oh, well, you are going into war." She laughed nervously. "Just ignore me, for I have never been good at raising peoples spirits. Except for when it come to my husband, but I won't go in to that. You're way too innocent for that type of talk. Now, it's time for you to return to earth and help Raven destroy Apollo."
