Thor can not possibly comprehend the magnitude of his loss right now. The second he does, the second he's unable to keep standing. He can't let that happen. He has to pull Tony out of it. He has no other choice.
Thor struggles to his feet, pain coursing through his body. It's been years since he's taken one of Iron Man's blasts head-on, and even when augmented by Thor's own lightning powers, it had still not come close to the force of one of Tony's blasts. Tony had made improvements, but none that could possibly account for this sort of power.
The Power Stone, he tells himself as he staggers forward. Thanos is using the Mind Stone to control Tony and Tony is using the Power Stone. It's the only rational explanation.
He swings his hands out to catch Tony's arms again; this time, his body is braced for another blast to the chest. He has to get through to Tony. He has to. Even if he killed everyone here, it was no different than Barnes killing his parents. Tony wasn't a person now -- he was Thanos tool. He couldn't let him be that tool any longer. He could not allow Tony to escape all of this and suffer the same way Barnes suffers now.
Suffered. Thor is sure he survived to see Barnes die again.
"I know you're in there, Tony," he says, voice pleading. "I know you're in there, and you need to fight against it. Just as we did before."
