I met one. Kind of. It was in a text thread. Her name is Waverly Earp. She said her father's name is Julian, and he was one of the people recently brought back.
[Castiel's brow furrows as he considers that question. "Julian ... has been missing for a long time. Almost forty years. Are you sure?"
Sam shrugs.]
As I said, it's just a text thread. But they're both going to be here over the weekend. Figured it was worth checking out.
( Is he stuck inside it? No, okay. He's a person. )
I don't know of a Julian, but my tenure's only ten years or so in. ( He turns to Castiel. ) Then we, too, will be attending Barry's evaluation. Missing from where? Heaven?
["Her, actually," Sam interjects. "I met his daughter." But that's all of the relevant information he has, so he turns to Cas to see what he knows.
Which unfortunately isn't much.]
From his post. Julian was one of the angels stationed in the portion of the Garden that exists in the Ghost River Triangle. It is - was - a prison of sorts. A powerful shapeshifter was being held there.
[He pauses.]
The Ghost River Triangle is hard to keep an eye on from Heaven. The metaphysical leylines making it difficult to monitor from afar. But almost forty years ago, Juan Carlo sent word that Julian had gone missing, and we had been unable to find him since.
[It's possible he could have been dead the whole time, but he couldn't say for sure.]
Do we know anything about this nephilim?
[Sam shrugs. "She was connected to the group through Tyler and Liv. We could ask."]
If her last name is Earp, it's possible she could be the current wielder of Peacemaker, or related to them.
I assume he's not a major player? We don't have to worry about another Jack situation?
[Cas shakes his head. "Julian isn't an archangel, no. The Garden has it's own rules and strictures and she may have abilities tied to that, but nothing to the level of what Jack was capable of."]
Nephilim really is a term referring to a half angel-half human. I am who I am because Lucifer was my father. But, I'm curious to meet Waverly in person.
( Now he has something else to do, besides party. )
She'll be here this weekend. Apparently they had family Christmas plans in New York they didn't want to miss.
[Waverly will also be curious to meet Jack, though Sam didn't want to reveal him without his permission. They mostly talked about Sam's history with angels and Waverly was appropriately horrified.]
Julian will be here too. He's one of the returned.
( He holds out a party hat. Where did he get it? We don't know. There is only one. Maybe it is just a gesture. He does remember the series of holidays he and the Winchesters all celebrated thanks to the wood nymph. )

Should I be concerned?
[Sam shrugs. "They seemed fine when I left them."
Jo nods, before stepping back.]
I should go make sure it stays that way. I'll see you all later. Nice meeting you, Jack.
[There's a small squeeze on his shoulder, before turning and heading out in search of her mother and Carol.]
no subject
( But, fine, making sure everyone is in one piece. He gets that. )
It's really good to see you, Sam. Cas was telling me Allison and you are well-suited, and I happen to agree. You look happy, too.
no subject
That being said, Sam smiles and nods.]
I am happy. I'm glad you think so.
[He pauses, before tipping his head to the side.]
Hey, Jack - are you keeping track of any other nephilim that might be around?
no subject
( He puzzles over that, scanning - well, everywhere. )
Angels, yes, but no other nephilim. Sam, they're very rare. Do you know of another? One I can't feel?

( It takes mere seconds for his reach to catch up to the conversation. )
Waverly Earp. ( He frowns again. ) Julian disappeared from that entrance to the garden and has now resurfaced here.

( It feels the same. Warm. Familial. )
And her father. An angel.

[The Winchesters and the Gilberts and all their assorted friends who have become family when they've had no one else.]
Yeah, that's what she says. I haven't actually talked to Julian yet, only Waverly.
