We move into a large house. I work to get a Doctorate's degree and earn a job as a doctor. On our first night in our new home, when we are about to go to bed, Rose gets into her sleep clothes.

"Um Rose?"

"Yes, James?"

"There's something embarrassing that I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I have never. Well you know."

I can see the look on Rose's face get wider.

"Wait, are you saying you have never had sex before?"

I try to hide my embarrassment from her, but she grabs me by my arms and we start doing it.

"Wow this feels weird but satisfying at the same time."

I continue my life as Titan. However, I am also afraid that someone will put Rose in harms way. One day, I come home from work and find Rose being held at gun point.

"Hello Titan!"

"How do you know who I am?"

"We have met before. You put most of my men in jail."

"Oh now I remember."

"Shut up!" The gunman says.

"Look, why don't you just put the gun down and we can talk about this."

I knew I have to act quickly. I communicate with Rose's mind with my telepathic powers, telling her to close her eyes. Then I shoot out a ball of light which explodes blinding the gunman.

"Aargh! My eyes!"

While he is blinded, I grab him by the collar and throw him against a wall. I pin him against the wall and start punching him.

"You think you can threaten my wife!"

"James! That's enough!"

I stop punching him.

"I cannot let him live! He knows my secret identity!"

"I have an idea. What if you erase his mind of what happened?"

I close my eyes and start reaching into his mind. I erase all of the events that just transpired from his mind including him knowing my secret identity.

"What should we do with him now?"

"Take him to prison."

I put on my Titan Suit and fly him to the prison, dropping him off. When I return home, Rose is sitting on the couch.

"We need to talk."

"About What?"

"Look I have been supportive of your superhero life. I am proud that you are going out and saving lives. However, I only have one request for you. Try to be less violent."

"They are murderers, thieves, rapists. They deserve to be punished."

"But that's not your decision to make. God is the ultimate judge of our actions."

"You're right."

"I am not saying that you shouldn't punch someone if they deserve it. Just don't go overboard with it."

"I will try sweetie."

The two of us have many adventures together. One time during Christmas time, when we head to a Christmas tree lighting, a criminal implants 5 bombs on the tree. I manage to deactivate all of the bombs just in time and take down the criminal. I become an icon for Chicago. The people love me. I feel like I have finally found a nice, happy life. And it was about to get happier.
