You're not wrong, I'm sure -- but even with that, I can think of better ways to do it! What if they're both trying too hard to protect each other, in ways that don't grant the other person full autonomy? What if Elena is developing her own vigilante identity and Alejandro's jealous of her popularity drawing attention away from Zorro? What if Elena isn't a masked vigilante, but she's working for change via other channels, and they increasingly disagree about which of them is doing the most good? What if it's like The Incredibles and they've tried to settle down to a normal life but both of them are failing at it in secret? There are so many options that don't require knocking the relationship back to square zero, usually via single or double character assassination. >_<
