The show itself really didn't matter. Just the sense of normalcy that came with, and the idea that soon? It wouldn't be in some too-clean hospital bed. But he let Tucker steer things along until...

Wow. Alright, he hadn't seen this in forever, either, but it had been a staple when he was a kid. There'd been a channel growing up full of 'retro' cartoons that had played back in the day, and while this hadn't necessarily been one of his favorites? It had come on directly after, and the song was the sort that got stuck in your head.

As Tucker hummed, he found himself doing it too. Raspily, after first, weak, but it got stronger as it went along. Like clearing his throat after swallowing something dry. Then realization hit.

His vocal chords were working just fine. They'd just needed to warm up.

On the Ducktales theme song.

Wash's eyes lit up, his gaze shifting towards Tucker as a wide grin split across his face. He heard that, right?
