Please don't call him 'Clark' when he is in the suit. Thor, you should know this.
But he still smiles, and goes for the tease first. "The ear-shattering bellow of a god?" Then he stops and listens, and becomes aware of the tiny, trembling mewling.
Yes yes yes, of course, he does know this, he just has never been good with the whole 'alias' thing. He doesn't understand the need for it - but then, he's been worshipped as a god for thousands of years and has never needed to hide who he is. Forgive him.
CONSIDER IT FORGIVEN! It's okay. Kal understands. Thor was raised differently.
"I can try." He motions for Thor to come with him as he scans the area and hopes that it's just a matter of a scared kitten under a dumpster or something.
Sadly, he finds the little guy stuck in a pipe under the sidewalk. The pipe is amongst countless water and electricity and sewage lines, so they can't just punch their way down and pull it out.
But there's already two fallen comrades and the last one is crying and so weak. He won't last another day. BY RAO, THEY HAVE TO SAVE IT!
"In here!" He drops to his knees beside the grid that the kittens must have fallen through. At least that thing is easily removed with a light tug.
Thor hurries after him, following closely as if the very fate of the universe depends on finding this poor little kitten. Alas, that they were not able to save the other two! They SHALL be given a proper warriors burial later on, befitting their terrible demise in this direst of locations.
The god of thunder IS about two seconds away from ripping apart the street to help the creature out, regardless of consequences. Because Thor. But he goes the patient route instead and lies out on the ground, blocking traffic and pedestrians alike, because again, Thor.
That's alright! Superman bolts off for a second and returns with a stack of traffic cones (that he has borrowed with every intention of returning) that he places around Thor so they prevent any potential accidents.
Then he comes to crouch down by the opening.
"He's about four or five feet down to the left. Do you have any rope on you?"
I realised that perhaps he isn't walking down the street in full-on armour
Thor hops up and pats himself up and down. He doesn't have any rope on him per se, but he does have his clothes! They can easily be sacrificed to such a worthy cause, and he whips his shirt off and starts tearing it around in a spiral, trying to turn this into one long piece of fabric.
Superman ponders this for a moment. If they do that, the city would have to shut off water and power and gas in this block for a while. THey would have to dig up the cement and the road, and then place it all back neatly. It would be a mess, and a lot of work for a little creature barely bigger than their fingers.
...
"Yes! Go do that. I'll go talk to a road crew so we have materials ready to fix the road once we are done," he says and blasts off.
It'll be worth it. All lives are precious.
UMM YES OF COURSE. And who is gonna say no to them?
OFF GOES THE GOD, throwing his hammer into the air and then following it to the nearest police station. He doesn't know who he needs to alert, but he figures that's the best place to start. Plus, does it really matter where he goes? He's big and intimidating and famous enough that most people will just go 'yes sir' to whatever he wants.
He tells them what he wants to happen, and it takes a few people to figure out who they need to contact and arrange it all but at last! The necessary requirements have been made! And happy with his endeavour, he flies back to where his friend is.
"My friend! All has been made ready!"
Luthor's too busy smooching up to Loki I imagine, so I suppose... there is no one to stop them
Superman is waiting, with a asphalt truck complete with a less-than-comfortable looking crew. It's not every day they and their whole gear get to go flying.
He is nothing but smiles when Thor returns. "I was thinking a lightning strike could create a more accurate crack in order to give us access. If you would do the honors?"
"Certainly, my friend." He gestures for everyone to move back a little bit, and then he raises Mjolnir high and summons down a bolt of lightning to strike the concrete and crack it open. The crack runs deep, through the whole of the layers of it, but doesn't break it fully open so that it does not fall below onto anything more precious.
He then kneels down and starts to pull bits away. "We should be able to free the poor thing now."
Superman's gasp of excitement is fully genuine. Thor's powers are fun, and impressive, and he rather enjoys having friends who are as... unbreakable as he is. Who doesn't enjoy being with genuine peers?
As soon as he knows the street won't crack any further, he also drops to his knees to dig out big and small pieces until they can see the pipe.
"Can you hear it?" There is the tiniest sound of scared mewling.
It's his turn to actually help out, so he presses his thumbs down on the pipe so he can gradually push it aside to create an opening for the kittens. It's fine that they're ripping open an important pipeline. Between the lightning and the lasers, they can fuse it back shut.
He slows down simply because he is eager now. With careful hands, he digs away the last of the obstacles, and then opens the section of the pipe above where the sound is coming from. The sight is a grim one at first. One after another, he pulls out the ones that didn't make it. He can't bring himself to just leave them there in the scary place.
But they're not all gone. There's still that silent mewling, and Superman reaches in one last time to pull out the tiniest, most confused kitten ever, all soaking wet and covered in gunk.
"There it is," he says and hands their rescue to Thor.

"How long do you need it?"
That would make a lot of sense actually
He cant see if the kitten as even opened his eyes yet. It looks small enough that all three could fit comfortably in in Thor's palm.
"Any suggestions from the king?"

"Can we not disconnect the pipe and bring the creature up? I shall go alert the authorities!"
Yes, Thor. Let's just stop this entire city block for a day over a kitten.

"Yes! Go do that. I'll go talk to a road crew so we have materials ready to fix the road once we are done," he says and blasts off.

NOT DEAD YET
"It is not far now!" he cries, urging on his friend and ready to catch whatever debris or hopeful casualties he is passed.
