Monica Reyes/Miscellaneous

===Smoking===
Monica Reyes had a habit of smoking Morley brand cigarettes. In 2001, after extinguishing a cigarette she had been smoking, Reyes commented that smoking wasn't "very FBI" of her and claimed that she was trying to quit. That night, she was about to smoke another cigarette but, before she could light it, she was interrupted by the shock of seeing a UFO. 
Reyes later attempted to quit smoking with the help of nicotine gum, but she struggled with unwrapping at least one piece. Before investigating a crime scene, she removed gum that she had been chewing and dropped it into a wastebasket. She later tried another piece of gum as she headed away from the crime scene. 
Before helping with the birth of Scully's son in Democrat Hot Springs, Reyes went outside at night to smoke another cigarette that she extinguished while viewing another UFO in the darkened sky. 
:Obviously, the gum didn't help her quit between the events of "Empedocles" and those seen in "Existence". The cigarette she smokes in "Existence" would be her last in the series.
===Other Lives===
In 2001 of a parallel universe, Agent Monica Reyes volunteered to be involved in a stakeout with her partner, Agent Doggett. The operation was intended to determine whether a suspect was actually murderer Irwin Timothy Lukesh, who commonly killed women victims and was known for his impossible escapes. In an apartment building, Reyes pretended to work on repairing an upturned bicycle while Doggett and Brad Follmer monitored her progress from a hidden location. However, after the suspect, who was indeed Lukesh, entered the building, he recognized that he was under surveillance and left the room where Reyes was stationed. Although Agent Doggett advised her not to, Reyes followed the suspect with encouragement from their superior, Brad Follmer. Moments after Reyes reported that she had lost sight of the suspect, Lukesh ambushed her, cutting her throat and obtaining her gun. Doggett and Follmer rushed to help her but Lukesh had gone by the time they arrived. Follmer stayed with Agent Reyes while Doggett ran after Lukesh. Although Follmer sent for medical assistance, Reyes died moments later. Follmer cradled her lifeless head in his bare hands. 
:The closeness implied by Follmer holding Reyes' head might indicate that their relationship is more than professional, as it was in the reality most commonly seen on The X-Files.
Later in 2001, "our" universe's Reyes came to believe that her soul had been reincarnated several times and that, each time, she had unsuccessfully attempted to stop a series of murders in which each of four victims had been skinned alive. The murders had individually occurred in 1868, 1909 and 1960. 
===Trivia===
On The X-Files Season 8 DVD, "Monica Reyes" is also the title of the specific chapter in "This is Not Happening" in which the character first appears.
The X-Files Mythology, Volume 4 - Super Soldiers is the only DVD in The X-Files Mythology series that includes any episodes featuring Monica Reyes.
During the initial stages of writing The X-Files: I Want to Believe, the possibility of bringing Reyes back (as well as Doggett and, in a brief reappearance, the van typically used by ) was discussed, although the film's writers ultimately decided to keep the movie as simple as possible and relatively unfettered with character reintroductions, with the exception of Skinner. (The Complete X-Files: Behind the Series, the Myths and the Movies)
===Comics===
For the next ten years, Reyes worked with Doggett on the X-Files until 2012 when Doggett went missing after an oil rig explosion caused by the mysterious Acolytes following Scully's kidnapping by the same people. (X-Files season 10, issue 2)
