"I'm just saying I think we should avoid even needing to use it."

But Peter drops it because he wants to get going, he wants to slip in and out and he wants to do it as ninja-like as possible. If they're lucky - and he's hoping they are, even crossing his mental fingers - they won't get spotted by a single dead man walking until they're basically back home. He's silent as the gate opens and the street outside is...empty.

Mostly empty.

Several dead street lights away there are a few silhouettes stumbling and lurching without any purpose and he'd guess those are their rotting buddies, waiting for a chance to get up close and personal for a bloody introduction. They're downwind, though, which sucks because he can get hints of their smell, but it means they probably don't know two humans are only a few blocks away.

"You ever been in LA before?" Peter keeps his voice down, eyes scanning the blocks for any signs of movement. Him, he hasn't had much Earth experience: it'd been Missouri or bust and none of that had been anything like what he saw in LA.
