[ Tony is healing, more rapidly now that the nanites are reforming and regrouping to do their jobs. He'd done it partially as a way to be better, but also to help himself when he'd first came to Thanos. When he first rebelled. They're self-replicating. Self-repairing. Not just armor he calls up if he wants or weapons, but his augmented body and tissues.
The arc reactor in his chest stops sputtering with it's pale blue glow, and brightens once more. Just in time for Thor to haul him up. There's a high-pitched whir of power pouring into the reactor, and it blasts out with enough force to throw the Asgardian free of him. Tony skids back, regaining himself in a crouch, and calling on a blade to form around one hand. It digs into the ground and stops his backward motion.
He pulls it free of the dirt, eyes narrowing on the others, especially the captain. His voice is a sneer when he speaks again: ]
[ Watching the transformation feels like Thanos himself has punched him in the gut, knocking the air out of him all over again. What is he doing? He’s…
He’s fighting Thor. At first it’s as if he’s watching it all in slow motion, the way he blasts Thor back, and then Tony is landing on the ground with such precision that for a moment he doesn’t know what to do. His suit is changing as if on command, and…God, what happened to him?
Picking up the shield, he approaches him before he can continue his attack on Thor (if that’s his plan). The sneer is something he tries to actively ignore, and he keeps his own voice firm. ]
Tony. We don’t want to hurt you. We just want to know where he is.
[ Tony is on his own. His father is too wounded to come back for him yet. He knows he will, but he doesn't know when. He will do whatever is necessary to ensure Thanos is protected. He's been betrayed too much by lesser creatures.
Thor is still getting up and the Captain is closer. His plan is to leave. At least try to make it to one of the landing ships and see if there is anything salvageable to use to escape capture. Barring that, he'll make them suffer for as long as he's able. ]
You don't know me so stop trying. [ Once, they did, but Tony doesn't remember that now. Capture bonding. His mind did what it had to in order to survive. ] Good, makes it easier to hurt you.

Cause the only thing you'll get from me is pain.
