[ He doesn't hear her. He doesn't hear much of anything aside from the ringing in his ears and the whispers of ghosts, to be fair, but there's definitely something keeping her voice from cutting through the glass. So for a few good seconds, Erik's just stuck in a loop of chasing faces, though no others surface, as much as he looks around frantically, almost as if expecting worse and worse to come up. Not that many would be worse for him than Shaw.
The panicked moving and turning will eventually have him facing the doors, at least, and she'll have a full view of his face just as he too will notice the movement just on the edge of his vision. His head snaps towards it, and the fact that she's a stranger and not another memory pulled from his mind definitely helps him snap out of it. Or at least focus on the problem at hand, if nothing else.
He looks around; the rising water, pieces of metal and drywall now scattered in the water. Then back to the glass door, and the woman standing just outside.
He gestures to the side with a hand. ] Move.
[ She won't hear him, but hopefully she'll get the hint, as he lifts the largest pieces of metal he can get access to, aiming them at the door. Once she's out of the way, he launches them as hard as he can manage, hoping for them to at least give for the water to pass through. ]
