It was currently 10:34 AM, the beginning of a chilly Saturday morning.
A cold front had blown through New York the night before, meaning it was currently in the low 30's (in Fahrenheit).
That meant none of the Avengers were in the mood to go anywhere, they all wanted to simply lounge around and stay within the warmth of the tower.

But of course they couldn't do that.

Instead, Fury had called out the Avengers for a huge board meeting that they would be attending the whole day, from 7AM to 9PM.
None of the Avengers had wanted to attend, especially not Clint.
When Clint had first woke up early on that chilly morning, he wanted nothing more than to make some hot chocolate and simply vibe in the tower for the whole day. Hearing that he had to attend a board meeting really dampened his spirits.

However, it was Saturday and that also meant that the Avenger's special sarcastic genius would become their precious little bean for the weekend.
Yup, at about no more than 5:30 in the morning, Tony woke up fully settled into his headspace.
Clint, realizing that Tony was little and would need to stay home during the board meeting, jumped at the idea of staying home as well and watching Tony.
Not only would he get the day to relax and do anything but attend a stupid and boring board meeting, but he would also get to spend some quality time with precious little Tony.
Clint loved spending time with little Tony, whether it was playing dinosaurs with him or simply being in the same room as the little guy, Clint always enjoyed being around him.
Sure, Clint's classification was a neutral, but he always felt that he was more of a caregiver himself. He loved being around and helping kids and being with Tony honestly reminded him of what it was like when he was alone with his own kids.
Nevertheless, Fury allowed Tony and one other to not attend the meeting because it wasn't in the best idea to bring a regressed Stark to a meeting talking about city destruction and damage (Fury knew Tony was a little because he's Fury).
When the others were discussing who should stay back, before anyone could even think of offering, Clint had jumped up and affirmed that he was going to be the one to stay home with their little genius.
After a couple confused looks and questionable glances, the other Avengers eventually agreed and at 6:45, they all left the tower in unison, no one but Clint and Tony, plus JARVIS, remaining in the building.

Clint carefully strode down the hallway that connected the kitchen to the tower's main lounge room. In his hands he held two plates of food. Both had two boiled eggs on it, one plate having the eggs cut up into small bite sized pieces. The plate with the whole eggs and a slice of toast with butter on it was for Clint. The other plate that had the two cut up eggs on it as well as some cut up cucumbers with salt was for Tony.
Clint also managed to hold onto two cups as well. One was a blue and green sippy cup covered in little fishes that was full with orange juice, and the other was a sealed silver coffee mug with a handle, except inside, Clint had some orange juice as well.
As Clint entered the lounging room, he slowly walked over to the left side of the large space, placing down both the plates and the cups on top of a small wooden table, arranging them neatly and pulling forward a yellow chair, pushing it under one side of the table.
He then walked over to the other side of the large room and stood behind a brown, leather couch where his little boy sat, watching cartoons on the huge TV in front of him.

At no more than 5:30 in the morning, Tony was awaken harshly from his sleep after suffering through another nightmare that Clint could only assume had to deal with some past issues. The nightmare was so bad that it had scared Tony wide awake and immediately plummeted him into his little space.
Since then, for the past couple of hours, Tony had been in the lounging room, being distracted by all the funny people and animals he saw on the television screen. He was in fact so absorbed into the cartoon shows he was watching, that he didn't even notice when the others left to go to Fury's board meeting.
