Alarms wailed through the Avengers Tower in what would ordinarily not bother any of the team. They were used to Tony nearly blowing up his lab, causing irreparable damage to tech and possibly self in his lab, and otherwise being a source of chaos from said lab.
But today, the alarms went off and after a quick check-in with JARVIS that Tony and all other occupants of the lab were still alive, most of the others ignored the situation. Clint had been going for breakfast. By the time Steve had JARVIS affirmation of life, Clint had his bow in hand and was punching the elevator down button.
Natasha had been in the lab, ostensibly as a favor to the absent Pepper to keep Stark alive.
By the time Clint arrived outside Stark's lab, there was smoke seeping out from underneath the door. The hand-drawn sign stuck to the door said 'There Be Dragons.' He turned to Tony, who was wheezing and covered in soot.
