Thor turns at the sound of Tony descending and watches, half-confused, half-relieved as the man lands on a patch of Earth near Peter. Thor was so utterly convinced of Tony's death, but it did not occur him to question the immaculate sheen of his armor. He just watches as Tony lowers himself down to Peter's height, then holds him and speaks to him tenderly, the way a father might to their own child.
It feels intrusive, somehow, for him to continue watching the scene. Thor isn't entirely convinced that Thanos is gone (could he ever be as long as the man had the Reality Stone?), but he was thoroughly convinced that both Peter and Annie are safe in his care. He doesn't watch any further; instead, he walks towards Quill's form and is relieved to find it moving slightly with breath.
Thor is on the verge of crouching down just as Tony had done for Peter a few moments before when he hears the familiar sound of Tony's repulsors starting up. When he turns what he sees is not Tony directing an armored hand at a newly-returned Thanos, but Tony holding the limp body of Peter Parker.
Thor's shout comes out a few seconds after Annie's.
"No!"
Thor drops Stormbreaker. Quill is completely forgotten. Thor launches himself to his feet and at Tony, no longer certain if the man before him is truly Tony Stark or simply Thanos in disguise.
