[ he hears steve's voice, but the words escape him and that's concerning. he could be under attack, in need of assistance but thor can't be sure with his hearing still damaged. well, not until steve rolls into a defensive position beside him, anyway, shield raised against a rain of lead. he takes a moment to check the other soldier for injuries, and upon finding none, moves into action.

he stands without fear of the gunfire, though he almost loses his balance from the lingering effects of the flashbang. he keeps his feet and throws mjolnir, hitting a soldier in the front and throwing him backwards into others, breaking the line with confusion. he looks down at steve while the forces recollect themselves amidst the confusion and grins. ]
