"I'll see you in a little bit." is all the response he gives her, taking note of the pin she drops for him and doesn't take long before he's slipping in his ear piece that connects to his phone so he can get the directions to where he's headed on his motorcycle. He's armed, not just with the vibranium arm but with a few knives on his person and a gun, just in case - he didn't ask what she needed back up on, so he decides he should be prepared for anything - in case subduing whoever went and handcuffed her wasn't the answer.
Knowing her, it's someone with connections to the Red Room - by now most of the Widows ( if not all ) have found themselves free from subjugation but there's always someone out there who either slipped through the cracks or are looking to find the connections to bring things back - or someone who's not a fan of the Avengers and their ilk. He knows while she can handle herself, the rest of the Avengers - Steve included - would have dropped what they were doing to be back up if they knew, but she's stuck with him and he doesn't do things the exact same way as the rest of 'em do, even if he's not the kind of guy who kills these days.
He's smart, doesn't drive his motorcycle all the way to the location and cuts the engine just a street away so he can keep a little attention away from him showing up when he does. He's employing stealth as he makes the approach, aware of anyone who might be lingering nearby and not accidentally running into anything as he begins into the building, waiting for the sounds of anything that will tell him where Natasha might be.
His gun is within close reach - he'll prefer to punch his way out if it's needed, the gun would be warning shots and his knives would be to wound, not kill - but no one is jumping out at him yet and he knows better than to call out her name, even if it only takes him another minute before he's exchanging blows with one of the guys on the payroll of whoever it is that Natasha is dealing with and from the sounds of other footfalls, it seems to bring attention to him and hopefully away from her so she can find herself free of those handcuffs sooner, as opposed to later.
