Thor's eyes shoot open and he bolts upright. He frantically gropes for Tony's sleeping form, but finds that it isn't there.
He tries to swallow back his panic, but much as he tries, he can't.
"Stark?" he throws the covers off the bed, as if expecting to find Tony hidden somewhere beneath, but even as his palms cover the length of the mattress, he ascertains that Tony's not there.
He stumbles out of bed and over to the wall. As one hand blindly reaches for the lightswitch, he summons Stormbreaker into his hand with the other. Normally, Stormbreaker would be enough to ground him. It's not enough right now.
Finally, Thor's hand finds the switch and he snaps it up. Light fills the room. Tony isn't there.
"Stark?" he calls out again, as if expecting that he'll suddenly answer from wherever he's hidden.
Silence.
Thor forces himself to breathe, but it does nothing to mitigate his panic. Tiny sparks of lightning crackle out from his fingertips in brilliant blue-and-white arcs up the length of Stormbreaker's handle.
