Unexpected Power
A few characters on Heroes, such as Hiro and Peter, have powers that allow them to move quickly, even instantaneously, through space. The rest are just regular folks in that respect.
Or are they? It sure seems like everyone on this show can zip as fast as they need. Suresh shoots Noah on the west coast, and the next thing you know they're both on the east coast. (Is it that easy to move a corpse around?) Niki's in New York, very ill, but next thing you know she's in New Orleans. Sylar's at the Mexican border, but then he's in Virginia, and then in New York (with super-snooping powers since he's found Molly's place and broken in). Adam goes from Montreal to Maine in no time (no inspection at the border?), and the next scene he's in Texas.
One of the neat things about the show is how it takes place all over the world--made even cooler by how it's all filmed near me--but they move so quickly, and with so little trouble, I have to assume they all have private jets.

Clearly an elementy of the show requiring a major suspension of disbelief. I suppose it is possible that they started pumping Claire blood into Noah almost immediately, thus rendering him healthy enough to transport to NY.
Of course, Peter could have flown Adam to Maine himself. This summer it tok us 2 hours to get through security between the US and Canada (we were on a train a a couple of Canadian passengers going into the US for an exteneded stay had not brought their green cards!)
There are many conventions in movies and TV that we don't question. For instance, no one ever has to spend a lot of time looking for parking when they get somewhere. It's just that Heroes is such a globetrotting show where they identify where the characters are in each scene that it really stuck out to me how quickly they move around.
